The Beautiful Flower Garden

delphia. 19j pages. SOC postpaid
The text of this unique new book il
illuminated with 1877 sketches from
nature and six exquisite half-tore
plates, showing complete artistic de
signs in gardening. Four plans are
given-two for laying out a narrow
city lot and two for the country,
where more space is available. The
planter has the choice of four designs
for beds. A striking design is what
the author calls color wheel, made
up of 16 colors. The book is simply
overlooking with ideas and wisdom
upon subject that has been very lit
tie written about. The directions for
cultures are plain, simple and accu
rate, the work of professional
grower, Mr.. A. H. Fewkes. who has
worked in collaboration with the au-
thor.
A bright idea was that of the author
to show how plants of different gari-
ties appear just after they have been
sprouted through the ground All

mely difficult it is to tell the little
seedlings IrOln Weeuss WIFI UneSe
sketches, made direct from nature
anyone can tell what would be
poppy and what would be a rag weed.
All the works previously published
on this subject are expensive, treat
ing of great estates and parks; this
book is for the million. The subject
matter is drawn from the best
in the artistic world of garden
ing, showing the influence Of the
formal English style. the Italian re-
naissance, and the art of the japanese
upon gardening. An important part
is that devoted to descriptions of
flowers easily procured and grown
from seeds, bulbs, and cuttings, with
bright sketches showing their forms
of growth. The prevailing idea in the
book is to teach harmony in the ar
rangement of flowers and plants, To
introduce this book, the price per
copy for the first edition has been put
at SO cents, postpaid, which is actually
less than the cost of production.

Horse Breeding in Texas

Secretary Hooper of the San Antonio
Jockey club has addressed letter to
the officers of each racing association in
Texas requesting cooperation in the
organization of Texas circuit of run
ming meetings to be held in the spring
and fall. The project has received
such attention that meeting of rep
resentatives of different clubs will be
held in San Antonio for the purpose of
perfecting the proposed organization.
This is a sign of the healthy growth
thoroughbred racing is making in
Texas. Ultimately the Lone Star state
is bound to become a great breeding
district where blood horses will be
raised in great numbers. Already one
or two of the most prominent turfmen
in the country have established farms
within its bounds, and more will GER
tainly follow. The fact that there are
enough racers in Texas to support a
spring and fall circuit shows that the
business has assumed gratifying pro
portions, because, at the time men.

AUSTIN IN 1T TOO.
Austin's Great Dam Can Offer as Many In
ducemen 8 as Anywhere.

There is no reason in the world why
Austin, with her many natural advan.
tages and her recently acquired power
in the way of her great dam, could
not have hundreds of cotton mills
along the banks of our picturesque
Colorado. The Times Democrat saws
that the subject of cotton mills mas
been much discussed of late, especially
the relative merits of New England
and the South as a manufacturer of
cotton goods. The present crisis af-
forded better chance to test the rela-
tive advantages of the two sections
than was ever before given US. All
the industries ia the country have
been sorely tried by it, aud those that
have got through without suspension
have proved that they are built on
solid foundation. The test has been
overwhelmingly favorable to the
South, for few of the mills in this Sec
ton were closed at any time, while
there was a wholesale suspension in
most of the New England towns. In
spite of the hard times "a large num-
Der of new mills were built, the in
crease in the South for 1893 being
SSfiOo' SplAuleS anu o4SI looms.
A marked feature of the cotton IN
dustry which we have already noted
has been the removal of a number of
New England mills to the South, or
the establishment here of branch mills
by New England companies; and there
is every indication that this move
ment will grow even larger. The pro
gress of the past year has been rapid,
but the promise of the future is even
brighter. The Manufacturers Record
has collected the statistics for the
present year, and these show the fol-
lowing extraordinary development in
the industry since ante bellum DAYS.

Green Food for Stock.

With the progressive farmer the
manner OF feeding and caring for stock
mas SO changed within the past few
years that conditions are each year
growing more and more artificial and
difficult. Natural pasturage and some
OF the crops, and feed stuffs, which
We're looked upon with favor only a
lew years ago are almost entirely aban
doned today. We are gratified, how
ever, to note from a wide spread cor
fespondence over the state, that one
OF these old time ideas, viz: turning
caJtle on to pasture with an occasional
saltlng, is fast becoming obsolete In the
better settled parts of the state, and
giving place to the more humane and
modern soiling crop idea.
The Experiment Station is doing
some valuable work in this line, by
Trying to increase the interest of stock
mel over the state ia silos and sOillng
crops, by ascertaining from the farm

again before they went to the peniten-

al TO no purpose. After months of

diamonds with an Austin jeweler
not many days ago. The
diamond were discovered, shown

To the Editor of Home and Farm:
l have been growing and feeding
artichokes three years and find them
a very profitable crop for stock feed
ing. They fill all the requirements of
a crop for dry weather. Last summer
when everything was damaged by the
drouth, my artichokes continued
bright and green until frost fell. l
grow them chiefly for my hogs, which
l turn in to root up the tubers after
the frost has killed the stalk. One
acre will fatten 40 head of hogs, with
only little corn to finish, and during
the winter the brood sows and
fall pigs can work on them.
Then towards spring, close up
the fence and there are tubers
enough left in the ground to produce
the next crop without any more plant.

lot in the ground just as they grow,
as freezing does not injure them, to
turn my hogs in for spring market.

this way. The variety cultivate is
the White Jerusalem. They will yield
from so to 1909 bushels per acre. Cat
