Fall Flowing.

There are no inflexible rules for
farming in Texas, no system that can
be applied year by year with assur.
ance OF success. The farmer who is
bold enough to fix a depth to which
land should be plowed, when it should
be plowed, time for planting, and
method of cultivation has more cour>
age than wisdom. The plan that sue
ceeds one year may be complete fail
ure the next, and the system adopted
to heavy moist land may be fatal to
the sandy or chalky field Just over the
fence. The experience of the individual
farmer, if backed up by close observa
ton, is worth more to him than the
opinion and advice of all the agricultu-
raj editors and professors of colleges in
the United States, for he alone knows
the nature of his soil and surround
lngs.
If there can be any fixed rules appli-
cable to all cases and seasons it
is-plow early. 1t may happen
that, owing to the absence of rain or
frost, the early plowed soil may not
be IN any better condition than that
turned over later, but, with an aver
age season it will be far ahead, and in
every case it is wise to be prepared
ami get blowing out of the way before
had weather" sets in.
Those waiting for a rain before
commencing fall blowing would do
we'll to consider whether it would not
be easier and better to plow while the
land is dry. 1t is true that the work
won't look SO pretty; that big clods
will now and again distigure the land
scape and the plowman's gait be some,
what erratic, but the first rain will
melt the clods and more enrich the
soil than if it had been on dead level
1t may be urged that it would be too
heavy ON the team, but that is not so
A pillow will now scour as bright as
silver in the blacklist, waXiest land,
and though the land is hard it is really
easier to pillow than when moist and
sticking to the pillow.

Roofing Cuttings.

Many valuable plants and fruit trees
can be best propagated from cuttings.
A common practice with amateur
gardeners is to place the cuttings in
water and keep them there
till roots are formed. I'M
der certain conditions this
plan is often successful, but is not the
best by any means.
Practical gardeners place the cut,
tings in moist sand, which is the best
medium for producing callous from
which the roots start. The sand should
be kept moist, and beyond the reach
of frost. When roots have formed and
the cutting is planted out no manure
of any kind should come in contact
with it, as the first roots are very ten
der and sappy. Contact with manure
will cause them to rot as fast as they
form. When the cutting has become
we'll rooted it should be planted in
rich soil, but the filling round the roots
should be sand or soil free from ma
nure. AS the roots grow they will
reach out for rich soil and be in con-
dition to digest it when they reach it.

To Dehorn Calves.

AS prevention is better than cure
so is it better to prevent the grow of
horns on the calf than remove them
from the COW when fully grown.
Recognizing this fact, the following
formula for preventing horn growth is
given by the department of agricul-
ture: Fifty parts of caustic soda, 25
parts of kerosene and soda together,
stirring vigorously, and then add the
water. Take the calf from to 3
months old, trim way the hair round
the base of the horn, then with a few
drops of the mixture on the rubber
cork, which should be used in the bot
tie, rub on first one horn and then the
other, REPEATING until three or four APP.
plications are made. Do net allow it
to run down over the face, and we
would suggest that cardboard with
hole in it just large enough to cover
the horn tip would be a good proven.
tative OF that.

The Drouth Of 1893.

Old settlers can nearly always cite d
hotter or colder, wetter or dryer
season than the one then being expe'
rienced; and the young natives and
new corners enjoy sensation of be
ing in good luck at having escaped
such terrible meteorological extremes;
wondering at the same time how said
old settlers managed to pull through.
Meeting q 1916 immigrant the other
day l was impelled to ask what he
thought of the prevailing weather.
He said: 1T is tolable dry, but |
seen it dryer than this in Texas. y
When asked to name the year he
promptly replied, 1857; that was sure
a dry year." l suggested that there
must have been dryer seasons than
the present since 1857, but he gave it
as his belief that there had not. He
admitted that 1879 was pretty bad in
some sections of the state and
crops shorter than this year, but
that was owing to drouth in the
spring and early summer when Guilt
waited crops mast have rain or perish.
This year we had some spring and
May rain, but none since, and this is
therefore the driest fall since 1857, ac-
cording to this authority.
Whatever may be the fact as COM
pared to past years, 1893 will go down
to posterity as a year OF severe drouth.
Rivers, creeks, lakes and springs that
have never failed in the memory OF
the oldest inhabitant, are now dry,
and roads leading to still lasting water
are daily crowded with wagons bear
ing barrels and tanks to supply home
needs, while cattle and horses are
driven many miles daily to refresh
their thirst in mud holes, that in more
favorable seasons are looked upon as
too foul for hog wallows.
The outlook for stock is gloomy.
There has been no grass of any feed
ing value for nearly two months and
cattle are generally in very poor con,
dition and ill prepared to face cold
or wet winter. Should either OF
these conditions prevail in the
months inst ahead, we may be pre-.
pared to see from % to so per cent OF
range cattle die. Even those in past
ures, and usually hand fed, will suffer,
as the sorghum crop is very short. sell
dom giving two cuttings, and with
cotton seed at 25 cents per bushel,
little of that will find its way to the
cows stomach.

A New Cotton Harvester.

The Galveston News gives a long
description of the trial of new ma
chine for harvesting cotton which was
operated at Cuero last week. The
machine is described as Mr.. Blun's
Cotton Picker, but the details of it's
mechanism and operation prove that
it is not a picker, but wholesale COL
lector of cotton, leaves, trash and any
thing that comes within its clutches,
light enough to be handled without
breaking the gearing. 1t is huge
continuance, weighing about 1900
pounds, and is drawn by two mules.
1t straddles one row and makes trip
each way to get all the cotton. One
man drives and another attends to the
cotton which is run into sacks at the
rear of the machine. In the expert
ment referred to the machine gather.
ed 40 pounds in 49 seconds. Its capa.
CITY is about four acres per day, which
with good cotton would mean from
1000 to 5000 pounds.
AS the cotton is badly mixed with
trash it has t. be cleaned before gin
ming, but that operation is said
to be simple and inexpensive, and in
the case under consideration it pro-
duced bale which graded middling.
A great many people witnessed the ex.
hibition and it is said that nearly all
expressed themselves as satisfied that
it is a success. One thing is noticeable
about the experiment it is made at
the close of the season when there is
no more cotton to pick, That is the
regular time for testing cotton pickers,
and they are all success at that,
their first and last trial.

Agricultural editor OF me Statesman.

Agricultural Editor Of The Statesman.
DEAR SIR-Will you have the kind
to give me your opinion as the fitness
OF the alluvial val eys lying along the
Colorado river above the dam for
grape and fruit eulture2
Do you think that late spring frosts
would prove very disastrous, or would
the proximity of such a body of water
as the lake tend to neutraliZe the frost
effects? A portion of the valleys is
subject to overflow during rises in the
river. What kind of fruit trees, if any,
in your opinion, could be successfully
grown on land that would probably
twice year be overlooked to depth
OF from one to six feet of waterP
Would not drift wood break down
fruit trees planted on such location?
Very respectfully yours,
J. S. SIMPSON.
There can be no doubt of the suita-
bility of the alluvial soil of the Colora-
do for fruit growing, but for the two
objections referred to by Mr.. Simp-
son, viz, frost and overflow. The
former might be faced and largely cir.
cumvented by planting late blooming
trees, but land subject to a six feet
overflow'probably twice year" would
not be profitable for fruit growing
unless it could be effectually protect
ed from driftwood. In that case he
overflow for day or two might do no
harm to peaches, plums, apples and
pears, but would be injurious to grape
vines.
Perhaps the safest and ultimately
the most profitable crop that could be
raised on such land is pecans.ver =
flow and drift could not prevail against
the pecan in such soil, and once estab,
lished it is there for many genera
tions, increasing in value with ad-
vancing age.-[ED.
