on MATCHED TEAMS.

The agricultural editor Of The New FORK
Mail and Express says farmers, as a rule do
not realize what an advantageous field lies
before them in the direction of rearing
horses that will match. or il not situated for
this. through not having brood mares look
ing exactly alike and bred alike, then by
exchanging what the tailors call ''misfit''
for an animal or animals from other farms,
thus getting together double team which
all buyers will want on sight. There are in
this direction great opportunities lost TO
farmers aud treat gains made by dealers.
Horses may look alike while standing side
by side. but nothing short OF being bred
alike will insure matching in action, match
ing in speed and matching in temper and
spirit. If alike III all these. size and car
rage of head and tail being alike, they viii
sell, the price being governed by style,
size speed and the priceless qualifications
that come under the head of qualities"
This means, in part. in being well broken,
kind. safe and. in fact. all the qualities
combined necessary TO give character.
A match of this kind gives that trust
worthinesS that insureS 4 feeling OF safety
in the minds of those riding behind such a
team Exact matching is never fully ac-
complished Ii is known of the South Afri-
cans that they can distinguish their horses
from those Of another tribe by what would
appear to outsiders as indistingUishable diff
fereIces. So, also, shepherds know each
animal in 4 given flock. Wild animals ana
fowls have many chances OF being appar-
emily like all others in the same flock or
herd because bred together-inbred of the
same strain. To the absence of this regular
and long continued breeding we can charge
the irregularities which creep into the
formation Of our domestic animals. II IS
for this reason that it IS - difficult in any
neighbcrhood, even where good many

Young horses of like age and color that in

10 good reason why Alliances, or
Oranges or township or neighborhood clubs
cannot so arrange as to have all the match

arrangement would largely contribute
towards making farming profitable.

Neutrality-suspicious. DOES.

The Pasadena Cali Star has an article
describing the Alessaudro district Of 25,340
acres. which says:
Six months ago the land in that district
could not be sold for 80 an acre, and with
out irrigation actual settlers could not
afford TO take IL as gift. As soon as il
was decided to district and irrigate the
land sales commenced, and, up 10 date, 500
acres have been sold for $3.50, 0,0 in ten and
twenty-acre tracts, mostly to actual set
tiers, and the land is selling RAPIDLY to-day
for sl20 an acre. If this increased valuation

that one district alone of s. 1S1. 400 and Il
state tax levy of 30 cents on the 500 would
give the state an increased income of S13-
So year.
Il would seem TO Us that capitalists ought

their consideration. a good system of irri-
cation would doubtless contribute as much
towards making Texas lands go of like
hot cakes as it would do the same thing
for California lands. There could certainly
be no risk in such an investment OF course
there would be nothing in organizing an ir-
rigation company and attempting to sell the

from time TO time by the Introduction of
new forced varieties, but once we get fairly
into the wheat growing business they will
be compelled TO succumb on account of in
ability 10 compete with US A crop forced
into growth outside Of its natural condi-
tions, Dramatically, can never compete with
one entirely at home in this respect.
Texas has first-class wheat climate in
every particulars warm climate with
dry atmosphere Our warm states east of
the Mississippi river can never raise wheat
on account Of climatic humidity. Il has
been tried thoroughly, but always with
failure-rust invariably destroys the crop.
A few OF our readers may argue that
warm climate is not best for wheat, and
point as an argument TO the fact that when
ii happens to snow in Texas we say the
snow will be the very making of the
wheat crop" Under ordinary circum-
stances little snow does help our wheat,
perhaps, but this comes of tie fact that we
are sowing Northern varieties, and the
snow gives the crop a taste of the condi-
lions those varieties have been forced into
adopting. When we get our own Texas Va
rieties we shall have no need of snow.
Shows help wheat at the North, but not as
they help it here. They help the crop by
covering and protecting it from the Billiards
of winter a covering of any kind that
could be as easily removed would answer
precisely-the same purpose as snow. There
is no snow in those countries where the
wheat is native. and plant never grows
wild in region not entirely adapted 10 is
growth.
If YOU walk along our railroads where
wheat has been auled or handled. you viii
find the strongest kind of evidence in es-
Enlistment of the fact that Texas is the
natural home of the wheat plant. In such
places. on wild land and far away from any
farm, we have often gathered as fine heads
of wheat as, apparently, could have grown
anywhere. The grain, having accidentally
fallen. took root and grew up 10 splendid
development. One never sees anything
like that in the Northern wheat regions:
indeed we never saw anything like il any
where outside Of Texas

sABOUT JOHNSON GRASS.

I have recently moved 10 this county
HHardemanl, and now | find on my place
about three acres well seeded 70 Johnson
grass Is it q profitable crop? If not is
there any known way under the sun of get
ting rid of it. | am reader of the Fort

Any information you can give me with
reference to johnson grass will be thank
fully received. ID. \. kNoX.
Chillicothe Tex.
We don't much like Johnson grass (Sor-
ghum halapense), for the reason that it Is q
pest spreading itself to many localities
where it is not wanted. yet there is no de-
nying the fact that it is one OF the best and
most profitable hav grasses we have in the
state. 1t is also very fair pasture grass,
being relished by all kinds of stock, and
particularly by hogs, which dig and feed
upon its large and succulent roots.
johnson grass does best on comparatively
low bottom lands, where il gives several
good cuttings of hay each season. 1t does
reasonably well on high lands, but compare
lively low or fat lands suit it best. If YOU
have three acres of this character well seeded
10 Johnson grass you have Oh that acreage q
more profitable crop than you could put
there, probably. But in any case you had
best make the most yon can of YOUR John
son grass field, for you will be apt to keep it
as such unless You sell your farm and move
away. If there is any way of exterminat-
ing johnson grass from well-set field no
body has, as yet, been able to find it out.
