SUNDAYS EXCURSION
They Came to See Fort worth Down
the Dallas Team, HAT We're
Thoroughly disappointed.

Every road entering the city brought
In crowds OF excurslonists Sunday
morning who took advantage OF the
low rates 10 visit the Panther city
and incidentally to take In the sulll-
van-Mace combination. parading under
the name Of a ball game In the after
noon.
Visitors from Cleburne. Dallas and
the indian Territory were quite num-
merous while nearly every town with
in radius OF one hundred miles was
represented.
The Katy excursion trains started
from Waco, the Central from Corsic-
ana, the Texas and Pacific from Ter
rell and Weatherford the santa Fe
from Temple and Purcell. the Rock
Island from Bowie. the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande from Brentwood.
the Cotton Belt from Groenyille and
the Denver from Quanah.
The latter came In with seven cou les
and three freight cabooses loaded down
TO guards with jolly funseekers ready
for anything from picnic to a chicken
fight
The hotels and billiard halls were
crowded and most OF the saloons OF
the city were thrown wide open for
the special benefit OF the visitors. who
took in good quantity OF tho output
Of the Fort Worth brewery, and enough
ice water to float the Dallas boat which
was stranded in he Trinity.
The visitors explored everything In
the city from the site of the proposed
union depot to the dome or the new
court house, and throngs of slght-aeers
were all day promenndinR the streets
and whirling over the pleasant drives
of the city.
In the afternoon the larger part OF
the crowd went to the ball pnrk 10
witness what had been advertised as
an exhibition OF the national game,
and at the finish more Disguised set
OF people than they were Ii rarely seen.
Nearly all who came, with the excep-
tlon OF the Dallas contingent. were
anxious to see Ted Sullivan's cattle
buried 80 deep in the mud that they
would never he able to crawl out
and the rank decisions OF the umpire1
In favor of the steers evoked the most
bitter denunclations on all sides
When the trains began to arrive IN
the evening to take away the excur-
sionlsts. they were compelled to stop
some distance before reaching the de-
pot on account OF the immense crowd
gathered there TO take their departure
from the Queen OF the Prairies. where
they had in the main spent most
pleasant and enjoyable day.

CROP BULLETIN.
Secretary Mckeen's Bulletin for May
Questions and Answers.

In the Buuetin for May, says Secretary
Mckeen, OF the State board Of agri-
culture We have treated such questions
AS would seem to be timely, and would
aid our readers in arranging their work
and forming plans for the season. The
new form OF question blank has been
changed and extended so that 1t appears
to meet the requirements quite fully.
The space for remarks has been quite
fully taken by our correspondents, and
we find il necessary to cut down some OF
these and to leave out Others entirely.
We are glad 10 receive them all, however,
and shall consider them fully, either in
future numbers or in notices of them in
sect ion, OF the bulletin devoted to that
purpose. The questions which have been
asked, have been treated as fully as
possible and we are much pleased to re-
ceiyc SO many, and hope this department
may be extended. To this end We shall
be prepared to call in such assistance a.
may be necessary. The following list of
questions was sent out this month:
!. Have the grass fields come through
the winter in good condltlou'
> What Will be the acreage of grain
sown as compared with last year?
3. Condition OF fruit tree, As compared
with last year?
/. |. the growing OF small fruits on the
increase in your section
s. II not, why not?
s. What Is the value Of the product
from good one acre garden, TO a family?
= Name five of the most important
garden crops, With proper time OF plant
ing?
:. Give local market prices for all crops
sold in your vicinity?
One hundred and seyenty-tive replies
have come in from all sections OF the
State, and we wish to thank our cores
pondents for their prompt and full re
plies, particularly to questions l, :, 8,
and s. 1t is our object to make each
issue OF this years bulletin equal for
every one of its readers to good farmers
institute, and If we can continue TO
receive the active support OF our cores
pondents and readers it can be done.
From the replies to question l we are
able to form the conclusion that taking
the entire State, grass fields never
wintered in better condition, but two
correspondents speaking of any winter
killing, and those only to limited
extent.
As we carefully average the replies to
question we place the acreage OF grain
at 40 as compared with last season, and
there seems to be strong feeling on the
part of all OF the correspondents that this
should be still further increased, and that
our Maine farmers should be more indie
pendent OF the grain growers OF the west,
as well as OF the by products Of the flour
mills and oil manufactures. Fruit trees
are reported as wintering well, no par

not tell the value Of a one-acre garden in
figures. Think a COED garden in summer
is half Of ones living. I am not very
well posted on the market prices, there
fore cannot give them very exact.
8. l.. BRIMMER.
BUcKsPoRT- grass fields have come
through the winter in remarkably good
condition, seldom if ever saw them look
as well at this time of year. New seeded
fields are very green. 1t certainly bids
fair for good crop Of hay. The old say
ing is ''wet May plenty of hay" but we
can tell better by July what the harvest
will be. Think more grain will be sown
this season than usual. The great problem
of the farmer is how can we get our stock
through the long winters without buying
50 much grain? Small fruits are rather
on the increase, most every one has a
small patch for home use.
