The proposition of the business mer
of Houston for continuous exposition
of manufactured, horticultural, anC
agricultural products, not only of Tex
as, but from every section of the coun
try, is q move in the right direction
and is destined to do an immensity Of
good to the state and to Houston. The
projectors of this enterprise will be
known as the Manufacturers Exhibit
and Excursion company. They propose
to erect building of brick, glass and
iron, 9Ox16O feet in area. and they ex.
pect to get as much as $500
for 12O square feet. They now
have agents in st. Louis to induce the
merchants and others there to go into
the venture, showing that the trade OF
Texas amounts to some 800, 900, 600 an
nually. The Commercial club of Dali
las might investigate the feasibility OF
arranging for.such thing hers as a sort
of adjunct to the Texas state ia ir.
The buildings, to start with, are al
ready erected, and other facilities
exist to aid an early consummation.
With other cities in the race quite
lively, Dallas will have to get a
move on herself.-Dallas Times Her.

The Oil Paint and Drug Reporter
says: Beyond the current demand OF
re6ners, and this has not been urgent,
the demand for crude cotton seed Oil
has not been up to the demand for the
that their receipts of seed SO far are
very much in excess of previous years,
and that the quality is very much i'm
proved. AS previous stated, Western
| buyers, having secured STOCKS
for December and January, sIare
at present pursuing an Indifferent at
titude. There has. however, within
the past few days, sprung up better
inquiry for choice grades of Texas oil,
and ias is freely bid, with mills hold
ing for IA, at which several thousand
barrels have been taken for late Janu
airy and February.-Houston Post.
Yesterday Col. A. J. Robertson was
in receipt of returns from car OF his
to st. Louis. They were exceptionally
large. finely favored. and are COM
handing better prices than any orange
on the market in ST. Louis. The col
onel was very much pleased with the
report of his first shipment. About
twenty-five cars of oranges will be
shipped from the MONTENEGRO los dis
trict this season, and as most Of the or
chards there are young, the shipment

DR.. E.. S. Weisiger, who has a
small farm about two and half miles
south of town, has been experiment
ting with onions. He has become so
well satisfied that they are a sure
money crop that he has had four acres
planted this fall. The plants are max
thrifty. He has also planted four
acres in strawberries. The good
prices obtained last spring for berries
has induced many farmers to plant q
few acres. Last season Angleton ber-
ries were in demand for the uniformity
in size rs we'll as quality. 1t is ad-
mited by all growers that this black
land produces the best berries.-Ve-

Corn and meat are two very import
ant things to the farmer and they are
two farm products which have been
neglected in Texas. Think of the car
come into the black land belt of Texas
from Kansas and Missouri. This is bad
fnancierine on the part of some of our
farmers. No farmer should buy bread
or meat In this country. II all the
money paid for corn, -four, meat and
lard during the past five years in Collin
county was in the hands of the farmers
the most of them would have money to
run them another year and some of
them would be able to pay all their
debts.-ExchREge

war the peanut crop barely aggregat-
