Thomas S. Green of Waco, a
gardener of experience, saws if
the railways will cooperate next
year by putting on fast freight
trains between central Texas and
the northern markets, the region
of which Waco is the center will
sell, early vegetables and straw
berries in Chicago, New York
and Boston three weeks ahead of
any other territory. Mr.. Green
sent beans last month and cleared
neat sum. 81 am certain, she
said, "that 100000 acres of land
between Waco and Marlin will be
planted in truck farms next year
if the men interested in the new
departure can be assured of rapid
transit for their product, not only
to the north and east, but to the
big Canadian cities. We can sup.
ply the people of Toronto and
Montreal with ripe Strawberries
in April if we can get the trans
portation.' 1t is chiefly to the
railroads we must look for the
development of the garden. region

passing any country on earth for
vegetables, melons and berries. Z"

where | found men better ac-
quainted with the possibilities of
rice culture than in Houston"
said Mr.. Moore. "The people
here do not seem to realize in the
slightest degree The opportunities
for the development OF the cul-
tivation in few of the coast
counties. The rice crop next
year in the counties east of Hous-
ton will be worth not less than
100000. 1t is conservative
estimate to say that every acre of
land cultivated in rice will bring
$40.
"The Trinity Rice, Land and
Irrigation company will build a,
canal for the purpose of irrigating
from Turtle bayou running east
ward toward Winnie. The canal
will have IL capacity for irrigating
ut least 25,C0J acres of land.
"To give an idea of how out
side capital is taking hold of the
rice idea, the real estate firm with
which | am connected has sold
since Dec. l $4,000 acres of rice

"All of the country between

ably adapted to the cultivation of

money as rice.

Apply Grating Wax.

William Lomas of Dallas says:
"Every observant person will
have noticed that very many fruit
and shade trees have the bark
badly split, and the wood injured,
on the south side of the trees.
The cause is sun scald, and now
is the time to stop further injury.
Such trees rs are already half
killed can be he ped by applying
grating wax to the wounded part,
so that the two banks will be as
sisted in healing over. Such trees
as are not yet split can be prevent
ed by planting lXl2 inches
wide board, and as high as to the
branches on the south side of the
trses, and about one foot away
from the stem. Keep the board
in place till the branches shade
the stem, and the trees will be
saved"

The sixth annual convention of
the Oil Mill SuperintenAents' as
ISOLATION will meet in Waco June
ID, IA and Is, under a call issued
by George T. Farmhouse, the
president, and Gustav A. Baum
garten, the secretary.
The subjects put down on the
programme for discussion are as
follows:
differing and settling of crude
OIL" by NJ. A. Koerper; "Press-
cloth and what additional cost
per ton by using $500 pounds
pressure and over, and the ac-
conpanying results" George G.
Walsch: "Tests of oil and meal,
oil for free, fatty acid, and meal
for percentage of oil left in it,"
r. NJ. Schumacher; "Cooperage,
and what constitutes good coop
erage," M. f. +. Therssen; "The
proper handling of refuse mat
ter" George Z. Farmhouse;
"Testing and proper setting of
scales by competent scale men. "
The secretary sent out an adj
dress bearing on the approaching
state convention of oil mill SUI
porintendent, tn part, us follows:
"Since our last meeting at Dali
las our association has gained in
strength, and proprietors and
the managers of oil mills now
look upon our association for their
superintendents, not only from
this state, but from the majority
of the cotton. growing states. Not
u member of our association has
been without good position and
the association now has applica-
tions from quite a number of mills
in this and other southern states
for superintendent.
"There was time when some
looked upon our association as an
ordinary labor union, having for
its object the creating of a uni
form standard of wages for sup
erintendents. This is a grieyous
error, for with Us that matter is
never discussed, each individual
member having the right to make
such terms with his employer as
best suits him; and while we look
upon these unions as having their
own field of usefulness to each
other and to employers, being to
attain as high an education as
I possible along the various lines
useful to us as oil mill supcrln-
tendents, believing, like the Ma
tional association of Stationary
Engineers, that by advancing our
selves we advance the interest
of our employers, we believe
that employers will give prefer
ence to the man who will take
enough interest in his business to
study upon it to the extent of
making himself proficient, there
by creating a demand for our ser
vices"

torian of Col.sGurley's regiment
of Texas cavalry, of which MIR.
Pidcocke was an officer, received
from Col. N. w. Battle of Scat
tie, Wash, batch of documents
to be used in the preparation OF a
book on the operations of that
regiment in the southwest. Col.
Battles attention was attracted
to Mr.. Pidcocke's work by an ar
ticle which was published last
summer. He forthwith hunted
up his venerable scrap book
aud copied a number of articles
on engagements in which the reg
iinent took part and an account
of the organization of the regl-
ment. The following appeared
in the Houston Telegraph, Aug,
80, 1862:

of partisan rangers, the first of
its kind, perhaps, to be raised in
Texas, was organized on the 18th

lieutenant colonel, and j. H, DAY.
export, major. Coz. Gurley APP
pointed the fellowing staff and
regimental officers: John Abney
of Meridian, quartermaster; DR..
j. II. Sears on Waco. surgeon;
Prof. o. Leland of Waco, adju-
tant; w. w, Slaughter of Waco,
commissary; Rev. j. j. Riddle of
White Rock, chaplain.
This regiment of brave, patri-
otto men has been raised in less
time than any in the Confederate
service from this state, fact
speaking volumes for devotion to
country and liberty. Col. Gurley
received his authority to raise the
partisans from Maj. Gen. Hind
man at Little Rock, Ark, about
June l of the present year. He
returned to Waco about June 20
and called for volunteers. The
splendid result shows the alacri-
ty with which that call was re-
sponded to. Most of the COM
panles contain the maximum
number eff men, and all contain
more than the minimum. All of
the companies would now con-
tain the maximum were it not
that all the officers adopted the
rule to reject every volunteer not
sound and able bodied. The re-
suit of this rule has been that
some of the companies present an
opening for few more volun-
teers. Brave men and gallant
Texans! If you seek II chance for
glory, now is your time. The
regiment is mounted and destined
to operate in Arkansas and Mis-
souri,. 1t will probably remain at
Camp McCulioch from four to
six weeks. Any person wishing
to enlist in this splendid regiment

highest order in every particular.
Ever since his return to the college
last September he has had his eye on
the stretch of land at the foot of the
I'LL near Stearns' square and figured
1t out that it would make an excellent
place for all kinds of athletic games.
And now he sees clearly his way.
which he did not when he first tackled
the proposition. At that time thera
were numerous difficulties in his way,
not least among them being the mat
ter of the necessary financial requisites.
But persistent energy and assiduous
labors in that direction have netted
him nearly $4,000 within a year and he
has every reason for thinking that
within another year the rest of the
money will be forthcoming. He esti-
mates that the field will cost about
100000, and that he expects to have al
least $4,000 or $1,000 by the opening of
the school year. At every hand the
alumni of the college have come to
time and signed their names to checks,
which have been turned into the Ath-
letic associations treasury, and which
will be expended upon the new field.
He is most enthusiastic over the new
field, and il was he who conceived ,Ae
idea of changing the course of the
Blackstone. and to that end he has Sc
cured quit claims to deeds of the prop
crty upon the westerly side of the
river belonging to NJ. J. Whittall and
Charles Crompton, so there will be no
damages accruing. This will not only
make the actual field larger for the
work Of the athletes, but give unlim
tied accommodations to spectators.
