This notion of ours is well sustained by the
fact that the specimens are imbedded in a
peculiar kind of conglomerate composed
largely of white quartz pebbles. Professor
Cummins speaks of having seen these con-
elomeratcs in the permain, but mentions no
ores in association with them. They are
made up Of rock fragments carried away
from their native beds in other regions by
! the drifting agencies that worked in the
past geological ages, and with those pebbles
came the gold and silver, of course.
This drift theory is nothing discouraging
to the people of Young county, for some
very rich gold deposits of the world are
drift deposits indeed this theory is more
encouraging than any other that could be
advanced, for unless there is drift-gold in
that region it would be folly to suppose that
there was any gold at all.
The label attached TO the coal specimen
sent, marks it as having been taken from
bed eighteen feet beneath the surface. 1t
is soft, light and breaks to a clear and pol
ished appearance. Evidently it is refer
rable to seam No. 1. as classed off by our
biologists, and if so it is, according to Pro
fessor Dumble, coal well adapted to fuel
purposes. Some of it makes fine coke,
he says. The same coal seam crops out in
Erath, Palo Pinto and Wise counties, and
at some points ia these counties it is being
mined to considerable extent The rail
roads are using it for fuel, and it appears
to be giving them satisfaction generally.

! river, must fall into line. Some of them
are already regarded as the best agriculI.
| tural states of the American confederation
| under the old system of natural water sup
| ply, as the state of Texas, for instance, but
| the influence of irrigation renders it abso-
| lEtely necessary for them to reach beyond
! the old style. If they neglect to do this in
| the adoption of irrigation the irrigating
states further west will take rank above
them as the great agricultural states, and
| they will sink far below the high position
| they now occupy on the agricultural scale.
It is a hard matter to draw the majority
of people into any new movement of spe-
! c!al and permanent Importance. Large and
heavy bodies move slowly, you know, but
they invariably get there in the end, for
! their onward progress is irresistible. Peo-
pie will jump into something of a lighter
character with regular rush oftentimes.
They will move as in revolution, perhaps,
and it usually happens that by the time
they are fairly in, the thing will explode
and go to the winds. But the heavy body
moves regularly on, picking up support
here and there, by slow degrees, until it
finally has everything its own way, and is
solid enough to continue forever. This last
well represents irrigation in Texas. 1t
must come, and it will come eventually, and
when here it will be here to stay.
It seems strange that there should be
thinking man in all Texas who cannot see
at glance the great need of irrigation.
Granted that the state is the best agricul-
tural state of the Union. No other state
has SO much rich agricultural lands, and
taken all in all, no other state has q finer
climate; yet it must be admitted, in the face
of all this, that there are states west of US
that are more productive than Texas, and
are capable of producing a greater diver
sity of crops. Why is this, If we have
the finest soil in the world, and as fine eli
mate as there is in the world, how is it that
we are forced to draw upon those states for
many of the common necessaries of life,d
to the simple reason that Texas cannot raise
them at the time when needed! A correct
answer to this ought to settle the question
as to what Texas needs in her agriculture
TO place her in the very top notch. Those
more productive states irrigate,'' is the
correct answer. They keep profitable
crops growing through every season, while
we do all our farming in about three months
of the year.
Texas is certainly great agricultural
state, as things now are, but before she can
Eight it out on that line to the full ex-
tent of her capabilities she must arrange to

there is but little profit in marketing raw
material.
just so; and Farm and Ranch might have
added that there is comparatively little
profit in marketing material worked into
other shapes than raw, provided the raw
material worked must be shipped to the
worker from other and often distant re-
gions. If we can produce the raw mate
rial right where it is to be worked we get
OH it the profits that the distant producer
must get from us. We then get the profits
on it resulting from working it out of the
raw state-two profits instead of one. In
less we can do this we can never success
fully compete with the distant region where
the same working out of the raw state is
going on constantly, that we are doing
with the surplus of those regions sold TO
US at profit there, and shipped to Us at
heavy additional expenses.
We can raise the cattle, and the hogs.
and the corn and the hay, with more clear
profit than the same things can be raised
in other regions, and when we neglect to
share of our profits away. 1t may be all
well enough to work up raw material, but,
at the same time, it is certainly much bet
ter for US to also produce the raw material

It is highly probable that there will be
found among such of our people as fail to
make farming pay not few who will con-
tend that this article founded upon Mr.
Stevens paper is too highly colored. Fol
| Everything claimed by Mr.. Stevens as a
possibility in Texas agriculture can be
done and is being done every year. 1t is
| never right, in exhibiting a country's pos
sibilities, to dwell upon what is being done
by every one; the correct way is to show
what has been done, and is being done reg
ularly, by correct efforts. II man desires
to loaf his life out and make nothing off his
loafing he can find as good field for his
business in Texas as he could find any
where else, but the man who desires TO
make money on correct principles can
easily enough do everything that Mr.. Ste
vens has laid down in his paper
1t calls for push, nowadays. to make
money at anything. The days when money
came of itself have passed, if thev ever ex-
listed: we must now hustle for what we get,
and if we are disposed to hustle no other re-
gion in North America promises such re-
wards to the agriculturist for his hustling
as does Texas.
All the points culled from this article of
Mr.. Stevens are facts. They are of inter
est to the people of less favored regions
than this, as enabling them to make their
own comparisons. For instance, what can
you make on forty-fiye acres, as a tenant, in
the region where you live, by working 100
days in the year? Compare the answer
with what Mr. Stevens correctly tells you
that you can make here and then govern
yourself accordingly. If you find the
showing in favor Of the region where you
are already living, stay there is our advice

II there is anything off in this showing of
Mr. Stevens, it is of against us, for twenty

MUST PRODUCE SOMETHING.

We have long commended that region of
country, to become really prosperous, must
produce something; that is, it must add
its proportion to the general products of
the world. If it has rich mines it can add
the results of working those mines to the
worlds goods If it has fine timber it NAV
contribute its lumber and get along all well
enough for time; if it has neither of these,
but has fertile and generous soil, it may
put In its agricultural products, but if it has
neither mines, timber or fertile soil. it is q
failure, so far as relates to permanent pros
perity. Some kind of specializing sensation
may boom it for brief period, but no such
boom can last permanently. The swing
sent up, no matter with how much force.
must come back and eventually stop on the
dead center, unless there is some kind of
local force to keep it going. Farm and
Ranch of Dallas appears to accept this idea
of ours, as witness the following paragraph
taken from the latest issue of that publica-
ton:
Some enterprising men buy cattle and
hogs, and corn and hay, and by combining
these factors make good profit. Why
cannot the farmer raise the cattle and th.
hogs and the corn and the hay. and SO

1t is the notorious ''twelve-spotted squash
beetle" named by etolnologists Diabrotica
12-punctata. Why it was ever called a
squash beetle is more than we could ex-
plain, for it will feed upon about every
thing in the plant line that it comes across,
and appears to be equally as well satisfied
with one species as another. 1t is an insect
of wide range, appearing, probably, in
every state in the Union. In some regions
it gives the straw berry raiser great deal
of trouble: but really there is no call for
particularizing, for it gives one trouble on
any character of plant he may be cultivat-
ing, where it happens to put in pretty
fair representation.
Being leaf or flower eater-one could de-
stroy it with any of the arsenical
insecticides by spraying his plants with
them DR.. a. Oemler, author of ''Truck-
farming at the South" says it may be
driven from plants by liberal sprinkling
of freshly-slacked lime or SCOT, while the
dew is on; in the case of roses we would
treat them to light sprinkling of
psrethrum powders. Our druggists call it
Persian insect powders. 1t is COMPARE
lively inexpensive, and thrown On with one
of the little atomizers to be had at the
drug store, quarters worth would save an
acre of roses, while it would do no kind
of injury to the plants or to any one hand
ling or even eating the flowers. The
smallest particle of it coming in contact
with a beetle would at once cook his goose
for him. The powders should be applied
early in the morning while the buds and

GOLD. SILVER AND COAL.

l this day send you by mail three mineral
specimens-one of gold, one of silver and
one of coa All the specimens came from
shafts sunk in the town of Graham Tex.
The coal was struck last Saturday evening
late. There seems to be an abundance of it,
The gold and silver specimens We're reached
in different shafts at the depth of from
thirty TO forty feet, and both ores seem to
exist in large quantities. Assays for both
the gold and the silver ores have been made
and the showing is very favorable.
r. c. McPHALL.
Graham, Tex, October r.
We have carefully examined the minerals
fully conforming to the statement made by
Mr.. McPhall. OF course we can of our
own knowledge say nothing with reference
to the richness of either the gold or the sill
Yer ores in the absence of regular assay.
Young county, of which Graham is the
county seat, must lie about on the line be-
tween the carbonlferous and the permain
formations. Both formations are probably
represented in the county, though our geol-
ogists have, as yet, made no special mention
of the fact. If the carboniferous local meas
ures) comes into Young-which we do not
doubt-then the finding of coal at Graham
need not be matter of surprise, but the
finding of gold and silver there is certainly
something rather surprising in the face of
what we now understand with reference to
the formations. Neither gold or silver are
ores of either the carboniferous or the per-
main. The only ores mentioned by our geo.
!ogists as appearing in the permain of
Texas are copper and iron. (See Professor
Cummins' papers as appearing in the first
annual report of the Texas geological sur
vey, page 1861 The only ore found in the
carboniferous of Texas is iron. (See Pro
fessor Ralph S. Starts paper appearing in
the same reportias mentioned above, page

A PERMANENT CURE

To permanently cure anT case of fever

A person taking a course of Treatment
with Pe-ru-na for any malariaI affection
will find not only that he will be relieved
quicker than with quinine. but that his srs-
TEN is not deranged in the slightest partcu-
lar by the drug. Pe-ru-na gently stimulates
the nervous system to resist the malaria
poison, and at the same time gradu1l.y
eliminates the poison itself from the syS-
TEN, which quinine or similar preparatioIs
cannot do. In old cases of malaria, where
the victim has gone the round of all kinds
of treatment, has hopefully swallowet
everything recommended for the chills, and
still continues to have them at the slightest
exposure to cold, wet or fatigue, Pe-ru-nd
demonstrates its superiority over all other
medicines by permanently curing all sucn
cases.
The dose suited to this class of malarial
patients is as directed on the bottle. The
laxative Man-a-lin should also be takeI.
whenever the liver or bowels have become
deranged, as is commonly the case in Cd
