TO TEXAS

The "Lone Star" is wavlng-the star of the free; Ihen strike for Texas, if men you would be. N o 1dlerS are wanted, the thrifty and wise TO wealth and high station can equally rise Where corn, oats and cotton, the richest of
 loam, Which yields to the settlers provisions and
 home. Trees of every description rise on each hand, From alluvial soil to the rich table land Here springs are exhaustless and streams never
 dry, In the season from winter to autumn,s brfeht
 sky, wide panorama of prairie is seen; Of grass of all kinds perennially green. Here millions of cattle, sheep, horses and goats Grow fat ss if stall fed or fatted on oats, No poverty is found in the mighty domain, To the man who exerts either finger or bratn Here are homes for the millions, the rich and
 the poor, While Texas opens wide her hospitable door, She has thousands of acres-yes, millions-to
 sel, Yet can point without cost where pre- emptors
 can dwell. Her terms will be easy with those whom she
 deals. While security, all in their title can feel. Buy land while tis cheap, and the finest select,
 you expect Old man, tor your children, buy file it away; A Godsend twill prove on some rainy day.

For House Wear.

There is the inevitable teagown,
which is now made with the loose en-
pire front shirred at the neck and then
falling unchecked to the feet. This
center front should be of Japanese
silk, cotton crepe or some such soft
goods. A Vatican back is the most be-
coming, and a Bertha fall of lace or full
epaulette ruffles and large sleeves. For
midsummer, percale and white lawn
Mother Hubbard wrapper are the most
convenient. A silk blouse can be worn
If it reaE- drops in front over the
waist line. Striped lawns are made uT
with a blouse waist and always look
very well. House sacks of lawn, cash
mere or flannelettes are useful and may
be trimmed up in quite dressy fashion
Select small-figured or narrow-striped
goods. Have white or light dainty
shades in place of gay colors. Have
Jokes put on all of the under petticoats
and if draw-strings are put in the back
part at first no further charging will
be necessary. Avoid any decided belt
ing, be it wide or narrow. For change
pointed jacket effect just below tn,
waist-line in front is not bad idea
with soft draped plastron showing
between. Above all, dress as comfort

TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS,
That's What 1t Costs Every Year to Keep
Our Roads in Repair.

That's What 1t Costs Every Year to Keep
Our Roads in Repair.
The total length of the common roads
in this country, good, bad and indiffer-
ent, is estimated by Gen. Stone, of the
road bureau of the department of ag-
riculture, at something over 100000
miles. The majority of these roads
have been opened by common laborers,
hired by local supervisors, and no en-.
gineering principles have been OBJ
served in their construction. AS a
result, it costs more to keep them in
repair than if they were as many finely
macadamlzed roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair
and opening new thoroughfares cost
Massachusetts, in 1898, outside of elk .es,
81 ,136, 944, or 5000 per mile, and New
Jersey SITS, 407.S2, or $43.25 per mile
The total expenditure for roads III that
year amounted to about $40, 000,0 900. AS
greater part of the enormous sum
was spent in repairing poorly-con-
structed roads, that would need eX-
actly the same attention next year, it
is not an exaggeration to say that most
of the money was wasted.
Fine roads can be constructed all
the way from $500 to $500 per mile,
according to the nature of the country
through which they pass, the cost of
crushed stone and other engineering
problems. The cost of keeping these
roads in repair is infinitely smaller
than that required to repair the ordi-
nary dirt roads each winter and spring,
when great gulleys and ruts are washed
into them by the rains and floods. The
secret of the success of the fine roads
in France is attributed to the prompt
and systematic repairs made at all sea-
sons of the Observation-Disclosures

KINDNESS TO COWS.
without 1t Success in the Dairy Is Almost
Impossible.

Impossible.
The long demonstration of the cow
and the large demand made upon her
have in some cases directed almost her
entire vitality into the production of
milk as if for her progeny. Cows Sc
lected especially for the dairy are of
this kind, and they must have Gull
tivated along with this unselfish Civ
ing of themselves for others a habit OF
kindness amounting almost to love for
those for whom they live. This would
be directly expressed to their own off,
spring and would be reciprocated were
not the kindness of the cow by artificial
means directed into the channel of sup
porting the human mixer, instead of
her own progeny; hence, the best dairy
COWS are of kindly disposition and ex-
press their kindness in their constant
effort to supply the demand made upon
them. This naturally expects and de-
serves recipocation on the part of those
who are benefited by her unselfish life.
The dairyman who has this proper
love for his cows will think nothing too
much trouble that he can do for the
comfort of his cows. And happily in
this case, as in all others, it pays to be
kind, for cows have brains and kindly
emotions, if properly cultivated.
Herein may be found the apparent
hidden cause why one mixer can get
more milk and butter from the same
cow than others can, and that the one
who gets the most milk and butter is
not always the best mixer when judged
by his skill, but he is nevertheless the
best mixer for that COW, because she
likes him the best; his touch and man
ner have in them kindness which puts
her in humor to give him all her milk
and to give it in the best possible con-
dition.-Farm News.

Electricity for Fishing.

An electrical genius has come to the
aid of night fishermen. Men who catch
cells and other fresh water fish for the
market sometimes set as many as q
dozen lines, says the New York World.
These must be taken up from time to
time for examination. The new device
is an arrangement by which, when the
fish or eel is hooked, the first pull closes
an electric circuit-a fine wire running
alongside the line-and tiny bell at
the shore end sounds the alarm. A
small storage battery is part of the
equipment, as matter of course.

Sheep Destructive to Insects.

Do you know, says writer, that
there is no iimal in the world that il
as destructive to insects as sheep. When
troubled with the clover nudge he
turned the sheep right on it and fed
down the clover until about the LIST OF
June; then when the clover grew again
the fly had gone, and, of course, couldn't
deposit his eggs, and he got rid of them.
Next year he thought that little round
worm would eat up all the clover, and
turned the sheep onto the clover and
fed it all off. In taking the clover they
would take the worms into their stom.
achs and grind them up and assimilats
them into wool and carcaSses.

True WAY of Testing Cows.

1t is now established as fact that
the only true method of testing cows
for butter is not by churning the milk,
but by the use of the tester. 1t is not
satisfactory, after churning the milk,
to find quite a large percentage of the
butter fat in the buttermilk. There is
more skill required in handling the milk
and cream to insure perfect success
than ordinary dairymen are willing to
Lestow. The temperature, the churn-
ing, the age of the cream and even the
food are conditions to be met in testing
cows.

This is the title of handsome volume of
$50 pages, printed on fine enameled paper
and illustrated by 200 fine half tone engrav-
ings, which the Passenger Department of
the Southern Pacific at New Orleans has
Just issued.
AS an example Of beautiful printingit is
one of the most perfect specimens of book
making of the year. AS an evidence of rail

tracts people to a railway. 1t is clever
narrative of the romance of the Southwest,
together with a running description of the
country traversed by the vast systems of
the Southern Pacific, calling attention to the
strange people and novel sights and beauti-
full natural scenery from New Orleans to
Portland, Oregon. Through Storyland to
Sunset Seas" belongs to that class of fasci-
mating works of travel which so delight
and instruct one and is book which will
be read and kept as valuable addition to
the library.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW
ERS.

Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within third OF
century they would be the leaders
in the seed-growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret OF
this phenomenal success was quality
liberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety OF
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all
has placed the firm in the van and en-
titles them to the proud distinction
of Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been a
great speciality with this company
owning and operating many thousands
of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred acre trial farm in South Da
kota was visited by thousands inter
ested in higher farming, and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm
The Salzers pay great attention to this
new grasses, clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
The largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. Salze1
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand
! so that customer ordering of them
is always sure of getting what he or
ders.
A slight idea of the magnitude of this
firms business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest mum
berof catalogues of any American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage a
year, employ in the packing and dis
tributipg of their seeds upwards OF
six hundred hands and require for
their distributing warehouse over ter
acres of floor room.
A five cent postage stamp sent to the
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis.
will bring you their great catalogue.
