Coming from the home of biting east winds and winter climate, the at m9sphere of San Antonio is a yeritable paradise. The city is located in south western Texas. is about 600 feet above the sea level. and is delightfully."- situ- ated, with range of hills extending completely around the town. The weather is deIieious-never too cold in winter and, during the summer, while it is hot enough in the day time, the evenings are always cool. According to signal service reports taken during 3 series Of years, the average number of days in the year during any portion of which the thermometer falls to the freezing point is II. It is a rare thins to have frost before November or later than April.

REWARDS OF NOVELISTS.
Earnings of a Successful Writer of Fic-
ton Smash Old Records.

Earnings of a Successful Writer of Fic-
ton Smash Old Records
Twenty years ago, writes Talcott Will
liams in the American Monthly Review
of Reviews, Mr.. Howells publicly said
that it would be possible to seat at
small table every man in this country
who was clearing $4,000 year net from
exclusively literary work. / have heard
the returns from a single successful
novel placed at $4,000. Knowing the
circulation which it had and the usual
royalties this statement seems not inn
prudent To the sales which make a
return of from $40, 900 to $25 900 of a
single novel, there is not unusually ad-
ded the still larger wage paid to the
novelist whose fiction becomes the bas-
is of a successful playr1..
Not long since, Mr.. Charles Frohman
said in substance, that it was nonsense
TO turn anywhere except to a novel for
play, since it cost from $4,000 to $2O,-
000to make play known, and the novel
had already accomplished this without
effort and without expense. No wage in
literary life is comparable to that of
the playwright. Not all novels drama
tized succeed; but when dramatized
novel runs through the year, as nearly
a dozen have done in the past five
years, the return to the author will av-
erage about $500 week while the play
is upon the boards. After making
from $25, 900 to $50, 900 from a single nov
ell, the author may then obtain as much
more during each of the years in which
the play based upon it holds the stage.
1t would be invidious to gossip over
names; but there are two recent plays
which must have yielded the novelist
playwright from $4,000 to 100000 or
half the sum earned by Trolop in a life
time of laboriOuS romance

THE DAIRY FARM

Ex-Governor Hoard said the subject
of what constitutes dairy farm was
large one and difficult one to han
die, and after briefly referring to it he
should pass to the consideration of
some cows.
The governor thought we must all
come to the practice of soiling. The
dairy farm must be such a farm as
will produce large supply of proper
food for COWS.
Attention was called to alfalva as a
dairy food product. 1t is little par
ticular about starting, but where there
is a deep subsoil it can be grown
with profit. The ground must be fitted
extra well. Put on double the amount
of seed that any man tells you to and
cut your nurse crop early whether it is
oats or something else When you cut
the alfalva put 1t In heaps and cover
with hay caps. After week spread it
out to prevent killing the grass it
stands on and put UP again to stand for
two or three weeks.
The ex-governor proceeded to the
consideration of the COW. A large part
of the COWS kept are not paying the
profit they should There are too many
general purpose cows. The Iowa gen.
eral purpose COW costs for her board
not less than $50 annually and does not
return more than one-half of that
The unsuccessful dairy farmer is un-
successful because he does not inform
himself as to his business. There are
cows at the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton that pay over two dollars for every
dollars worth of food.
Some of those Iowa cows paid but
forty-four cents for each dollars worth
of food.
The man that keeps no record and
does not know what his cows consume
and what they return is generally con-
nected with a general purpose cow and
general purpose methods. He is a gen.
eral purpose man. The less such man
he knows of his business the more he
is likely to make.
There has been a wonderful advance
in labor saving machinery and in
knowledge of profitable dairy working,
but the average farmer with his aver

very auspiciously, although the attend
ance was not quite so large as on the
two previous days. Vice President Ed
win G. Seeley of the state board of
agriculture again presided. The VEN
cradle secretary, It. S. Gold, occupied
his position near the presiding officer
The contents of the question box pro-
voked an interesting discussion. The
question was, whether the law relating
to the sale of oleomargarine, which pro-
vides that all boarding houses, ETC.,
where the product is used, shall have
the fact printed and posted in con-
spicuous place, should apply to brick
yard boarding houses, where only one
employe perhaps was boarded by the
proprietor The question was discussed
pro and con, but the predominant opin-
ion seemed to be, that the law as it
stands should not be interefered with
DR.. j. F. Rothrock, president of the
Forestry commission of Pennsylvania,
was then introduced. He read an in
structive paper on "Some Aspects of
the Forestry Problem
After defining the meaning of the
word Forestry" Mr.. Rothrock's paper
discussed the subject exhaustively.
Professor W. H. Brewer of this city
was the next to discuss the question,
following the lineg of DR.. Rothhocks
paper and telling of his own experience.
AT the afternoon session the question
box was opened and variety of ques-
lions were asked and answered. The

PAYMENT OF WAR BILLS.

Governments Shifting Financial Poll
cy Criticised.
London, Dec. 13.-During the second
reading to-day of the war-oan bill, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt criticised at
length the governments financial
makeshifts He said the ministers
would have a strenuous support in
making the Transvaal share the cost of
the war. But, he pointed out, the gold
mines were the only source of revenue,
and the attitude of the mine-owning
capitalists was well known. They would
not pay for the war except on compul-
sion, and the capitalists were masters
of South Africa, controlled its politics,
and would be supreme in the new col
onies. If the government wished to OBJ
tain anything from the Transvaal to-
wards the cost of the war, it would
have to face the "Kaffir circus in
South Africa and London, and it would
require all the courage of the, chancel-
lor of the exchequer and the colonial
secretary and all the integrity of par
lament to cope with the matter.
