Sheep On the Farm.

The thing for the Texas farmer to de
oide to do now is to keep sheppard
next-to keep more sheep and better
sheep. And then if he will give them
keep the lambs growing and all the
stock thrifty during the winter, there
is. no danger that he will quit raising
sheep. It has been hard for Texas
farmers to quit the production of q crop
Improbable during successive years,
and they are dead sure not to abandon
an industry so profitable as that of
raising good lambs for the market af-
ter they shall have once experienced
its value.-Stock and Farm Journal.
The raising of grapes will be UNDER
taken on this side of the river the com

line so far have been entirely satisfac-

planted in grapes on the Couch place

arrive.-Pecos Times.
w. J. Elkins is prosperous farmer
from northern Alabama, who bought
399 acres Of land few miles from We
lascO on what is known as the Double
Island. He has this year 14O acres of
prairie sod land in cotton from which
he has already ginned 70 bales, and
will gather from 10 to Is bales
more. The sod WAS broken in March
of this year, 1896, the land best
worked producing over a bale to the
acre. The proceeds of what he has
sold of this years crop are more than
the entire cost of his 800 acres of land.
He has from 1000 to 1900 bushels of
sweet potatoes and a Santa Claus sup.
ply of all sorts of other stuff. With
family of ten, be says he has not had a

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-04

THE HERALD is in favor of any
change in the city charter that will
make it possible to construct decent
sidewalks and keep the streets in good
condition under perfect system of as
sessment upon holders of abutting pro-
perty. This plan is fair to every body,
and is the only rational way to accom-
plish this much needed reform. It has
been said that the holder of sbutting
property gets about as much be nefit
out OF the street and sidewalk impro-
vements as all the rest of the city put
together. If that is true, perhaps a
plan might be arranged by which the
city should pay half the expense aud
the property holder the other half.
The principal objection to this plan is
that it opens the door to abuses such
as those which have cursed most of the
larger cities at some period in their
existence-such as the extensive i'm
provement of the streets and sidewalks
in some remote suburb of the city to
the sole benefit of some powerful syn
dictate of property owners, and partly
at the expense of the public, who will
derive little or no benefit from the ex-
penditure.

Deep p1oWlnq.

Deep blowing in fall and winter en-
ables the soil to absorb and retain
moisture to an extent impossible when
the blowing is shallow. Subsoiling is
still better, though on refractory land
a four-horse team is required and even
then it is slow work. On some soils
elk horses are required to draw a sub
soil pillow fourteen inches deep. This
is slow, hard and expensive work, but
if we'll done it pays in certainty of
crops and increased yield. Tests have
been made showing that in dry time
an acre of SUBSIDIZED land contains more
than 100, 900 pounds of water in depth
of Is inches above that contained in an
acre of the same quality of land not

GEN. LAYTON will go to the Philip
pines to take command of all the troops

Gen. Lawton has proved himself to be
thoroughly capable of handling any
affairs that come under his jurisdic-

soou take full command and relieve
General Otis. The war developed the
