Observing the Game Law.

H. M. MINER of Waco, who
has been on tour in the western
counties, says the game law is
being observed in some of the
western counties, and in conse-
quence birds and large game are
increasing. Mr.. MINER is secre-
tary of the Central Texas Pleas
ant Breeders association. He has
imported large numbers of pleas
ants into Texas and has reason to
believe that they will in the course
of years become plentiful all over
the state. Mr.. MINER saw herd
of antelope in one of the north
western counties. He says wild
turkey, deer and quail are becom-
ing plentiful in the counties in
which the law is enforced. Mr..
Miner will submit report of his
observations at the next meeting
of the club.

Ribbon Cane Growing.

Mr.. j. H. Kennedy, who lives
near Sulphur Springs, in Hop
kins county, was at Paris with 250
gallons of ribSon cane and sor-
ghum syrup, which he hauled
there for sale. He planted three
and one-fourth acres in the cane
and made 1888 gallons of syrup,
which he says will net him, after
deducting expenses for kegs, etc,
$257. The prospect for crop
this year, he says,is not very good,
as much of the cane saved fox
planting was frozen. Mr.. Ken
nedy has lived in Texas for long
time. Before railroads came he
hauled freight from Jefferson to
Paris, Dallas, Gainesville and
other north Texas towns. He
was in the Confederate army I'M
der Lee and after the war went
to farming.

The heretofore rumored changes in

permanent shape last week at meet
