that there are really no disadvantages to
bring up that would be considered worthy
of the name 1t takes a long time for one
belonging to the state, which may account
for why we have never yet had up this tree
and timber matter. 1t would have been
brought in after awhile, however, for the
very thing that our correspondent kicks
against with so much vim is one of the
things that we class up as among the very
best natural advantages belonging to Texas
as great agricultural state.
Texas is here to stay as the leading agri-
cultural state of the Union. She is all
ready and waiting for the agriculturist when
he gets ready to locate upon himself her
broad,surface and begin plying his vocation.
Her lands are cleared and ready for his plow
all necessary for MIN is to locate, throw up
a cheap wire fence. get out his teams and
agricultural implements and begin work.
There are no heavy forests to be felled, logs
to be heaped and burned, stumps to grub
arranged to save him all that character of
arduous and Improbable labor.
OF what advantage are heavy timber
growths TO an agricultural regions, any
way! They must be removed ere the
lands can be used for crops, and the cost of
removing them is immense. A little while
at most and the timber will be all gone,
and then where comes in the timber adj
vantage? To clear up properly and get
ready for the plow 1OO-acres OF land
heavily timbered would cost more than
would cost all the timber and lumber
needed by that 100 acre farm, even though
shipped from hundreds of miles away, for
at least fifty years to come. Then, pray
tell it, where are the advantages to the
agriculturist in timbered lands9 In clear
ing up his timber-land the farmer did not
save his timber for use in the future-he
burned it in log-heaps to get it out of the
way. He could not have got rid of it on
any other plan, owing to the fact that
being in heavily timbered region every
body had all the timber needed, hence there
was no demand. Burning it out of the way
was the only alternative. Here in the
prairie regions of Texas, We have no
timber in our way, as already stated. We
fence and go to work. The scrub"
mentioned by our correspondent supplies
us with all the wood-fuel we need, and for
building purposes we have the finest brick
clays and stones known to the world. But
if we prefer building with wood we can get
our lumber at figures so | title below what
you folks over there in the long-le pine
country pay for what you get, at the
mills, that were we to give you the figures
you would go around all over the country
trying to find out if we had not deliberately

EXPEDITION TO ALASKA.
The Country Will Never be Available as n
Permanent Residence on Account of
the Nine Months Winter
SPECIAL to the Gazette.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. IA letter has
been received here from member of the
Russell party, which has Just returned from
an exploring expedition to Alaska The let
ter gives the information that has been pub
lished in the press dispatches, but has addi-
tiOnal information which is of general in
tereSt. The writer says that as far as
Alaska is concerned, he does not think it
can ever be available as a permanent resi-
dence for white men, for the reason that it
will not sustain life. When the mining and
hunting seasons are over there is absolutely
nothing for the people to do. and they are
compelled to stay indoors for the balance of
the winter. AS the hunting and mining
season only lasts about three months in the
year, it is readily seen that for nine months
the country is absolutely worthless. 1t is
impossible to raise grain or vegetables of
any kind on account of the shortness of the
season, and those who live in the country
are compelled to depend upon What they get
from the outside for Sustendnce.
He says that the country from one end to
the other is simply a mass of snow and ice
piled upon mountains which are almost i'm
passible in the most favora Die weather
The mines are not of great value even if
they were of easy access, but with the pres
ent facilities for transportation they are
almost worthless. He says that the results
of the exploration are valuable from a
scientific standpoint but they have devel-
oped the fact that the whole interior of the
vast country is of no benefit to anyone and
never will be. There is very little game of
any kind after they get away from the
Yukon river and the shore of the ocean.
There are few bears found now and then,
but as rule the whole country is deserted
by all animal life

which the successful dairyman must be-
come familiar Where there is capacity
for milk production it can be developed by
proper feeding and care, but all the feed
and all the care that can possibly be given
will never make good mixer out of cow
which has no natural capacity in that di-
rection There must be suitable founda-
ton to build upon. In other words, unless
tine COW has good milking qualities natur-
ally, the man is acting the part of fool
who undertakes to make them by feeding
up, according to scientific directions, upon
an animal to which nature has given no
qualities susceptible of development. This
is not kick against any strain, or even
against our scrub cattle. 1t simply means
that a COW without naturally good milking
qualities is not worth fooling with where
profitable mixer is in demand.

THAT oXER-rRnnuCTIoN.

Farm and Ranch advances the idea that
not a few farmers in Texas give as a reason
for holding back on more extensive stock
raising, that the market prices are too low
to justify anything more. Our contempor
airy concludes that under the existing state
of affairs the reason may be well-fOunded,
but there is way to knock that particular
stumbling block entirely off the track The
trouble does not come of over-production,
but rather of under-production. Let the
farmers in a neighborhood 90 to work and
raise stock enough to attract buyers-less
than carload will not do this. The more
cattle or hogs that are raised on farm or
in a neighborhood the better the prices
they command. for large product will call
in such buyers as are willing and able to
pay good prices, for the reason that extern
sive purchases will enable them to find
cheaper facilities for getting their pur-
chases to market. To get a small quantity
of anything TO market costs more proper
tonatell than it does 10 get large guam
tity to market and the purchaser is forced
to make the producer pay the proportion
dttAy greater tuSl uS Hill lcoS lOr
his product. Nothing could be palmer.
The same rule applies to all marketable
products OF the farm as well as to livestock
We must raise more in order to give the
purchaser cheaper shipping facilities, for
in cheaper shipping facilities lies one of the
two greatest advantages that should engage
the attention of farmers. OF course, many
might contend that the cheaper shipping
facilities would rebound only to the good of
the first purchaser, but this would be a
mistake undoubtedly. If there was but one
purchaser in the world such might be the
case, but, fortunately for US, there is just
as much competition among the purchasers
of farm products as there is in any other
line of business. The purchaser will pay
all that he possibly can pay TO run against
competitors.
The other advantage limited at lies in
cheaper production. This is 1 local affair
There is no business in which does not ex-
ist spirit of competition, and cheaper pro-
duction is most important thing in compe-
tition between ourselves as farmers The
men who can produce farm commodities at
least expense rule the market and make
most of the money that is made

saving and sale of seed has proved very
profitable business for hosts of people in
his region. The seed saving fills space of
time ordinarily unoccupied-the space after
cotton has been laid by and before cotton
picking begins. Large quantities of seed
are saved in Hale county, but it is proper
to state, for his own protection, that Mr..
Shepherd is not dealer in or harvester of
melilotus seed.
So far in this article we have followed
Mr.. Shepherd, and now few words for
oursef Eighteen years ago we began grow
''melilotus'' (Melilotus officinalis), in the
state of Alabama; and we grew it continu-
oualy up to last year, when certain induce
ments held out caused us to pull up and
move to Texas. In his communication Mr..
Shepherd has advanced few ideas that we
know nothing about from personal expert
ence, but ne has hit the nail squarely on the
head in every case where we are fully in
formed, and we have no kind of reason for
believing that he has not hit the nail with
equal squareness in every position which
ne has taken.
As yet, though travelling over most of the
state, We have not seen Melilotus offcinalis
in Texas. We ought to start it here, by
all means. OF Course we have more really
goo things here than they have in any
other section of the world, still that is no
kind of reason why we should stop. There
can exist no danger of our getting too many
good things in Texas.
This Southern species of meilotus would
be a great success in Texas, especially
along our river and creek bottoms exposed
to occasional overflow. Our overflows, if
they come at all, usually come about the
last of June. The blue melilotus, being
winter growth, would be off at that time, so
far as relates TO surface development, and
the temporary overflow would not at all
affect the roots dormant in the grounds.
Now, what have you got to say with refer
ence TO melilotus and pecanss The over
flow would help your pecan trees, while it
would not III the least hurt your melilotus.
The roots OF the melilotus would sleep
through the overflow and be all the better
for it, and in fall they would burst out with
renewed vigor and give you winter pas
ture and an early spring hay crop that could
have no equal in anything else that you
could grow Tor that purpose Was there
ever region of country so favored as
Texas, if we will only take advantage of
natures gifts!
Don't answer this question to US. but an
swer 1t in your own minds And above all,
don't write to US about putting you on the
track of melilotus seed for sale, for we
know of no one who has pound of it to
offer There is plenty of it on the market.
no doubt but we are not informed as To
where it is.

A GOOD FOUNDATION NEEDED.

The man who would undertake to rear
great and expensive structure on a very in
ferior foundation would be looked upon as
fool. The same thing ought to hold good
with everything; without regard to the i'm
portanced OF the transaction, for proror-
tionately the result will pan out exactly the
same. These remarks are intended to pre-
face the substance of an article with refer
ence TO milk-giving COWS, appearing in
late issue of the American Dairyman. That
publication says an occasional change of
diet, as quite generally recommended, may
be all well enough for the COWS and their
owner, yet it is not enough. The writer has
not one word to say against the scientific in
vestigations that have led 10 recommend
alton Of such and such a course of feeding,
but he is in favor of ringing in little
common sense along with those recon-
mendations. While food-treatment may
have advantageous effects it can
never convert bad cow into a

who are trying to make good COWS out of
poor stock by giving them large quantities
Of rich food shall learn that they are at

PEANUT OIL.

I have in my possession an old book which
treats largely on the value of peanut oil. 1t
is mentioned as being equal to olive oil in
every respect and for all purposes to which
olive oil is applied. Why not tell the whole
story while you are writing up the peanut
for Texas? y.
Fort Worth, Tex.
Thirty-tive years ago there was big boom
on raising peanuts for the oil, and quite an
extensive mill for grinding the nuts and
pressing out the oil was established in
North Carolina; but the cheaper cotton
seed oil coming in later, and being good
for everything" eventually killed the in
dustry. The peanut is good enough any
way, without taking the oil into considera-
ton.

and participate in the raisi lg of the flag. The people of Bethel and Bedding are expected to furnish an entertainment on the occasion. All interested in keeping up the credit of the town for generous hospitality are requested to meet in the basement of the Methodist church, Mon- day evening, 27th.
 The funeral services of Mrs Jennie Whitehead, formerly Jennie Grumman, took place at her late home in Bethel, Tuesday, at ? p m. Rev D. Taylor offic- lated. We'll and favorably known by the people of Bedding, where she resided for some time before her marriage, her untimely death will cause a feeling of sadness among her young friends and acquaintances, with whom she was a great favorite on account of her pleasant manner and cheerful disposition. DyIng in young womanhood and so short time after marriage, her death is unusually sad. She was the daughter of Jeremiah Grumman and niece of Mrs w. B. Whitehead and Mrs H. B. Jennings.
 The many friends of Daniel Sanford will be glad to learn that he is on the road to recovery.
 Capt William c. Sammis, only brother of Mrs Daniel Sanford, died at his home in Five Mive River, last Friday after noon, aged about B years. He was one of the most popular men in Norwalk, having been first selectman several times and always ran ahead of his ticket. The funeral took place at the new Congrega- tional church, South EIorwalk and the large number present attested the high esteem in which he was held. By his death and that of his sister, the family has been reduced to a single one, Mrs Nancy Benedict of South Norwalk.
 Jonathan R. Sanford has been appoint ed administrator on the estate of Mrs Mary Collins and William E. Duncomb and James E. Miller appraisers.
 The Nathan l.. Austin place has been sold to George Cole of Danbury.
 George o. Platt and brother have sold land to the Higgins boys.
 William c. Sanford has turned over the Foundry school to Mrs Edith Wood ruff and will attend to his hay business. He keeps two teams on the road most of the time supplying the Danbury and Bethel horse railroad and other custom CTS with hay.
 Mrs E. H. Bradley is very sick with the prevailing disorder.
 George A. Ezequelle has bought lot near his shop from the William Griffin estate and will build house thereon in the near future. >I1lS DuSlneSS IS boom ing.
 The road business is in a complete muddle, the result of changing from the sensible and business like way of work ing the highways under direction of the selectmen and by days work to the obso- lete contract system. Many of those who bid off sections now refuse to fulfill the contracts under the conditions im- posed. Meantime, the roads are in hor- rid condition. And this state of affairs must continue three years.
