and development, it is very much in
order to adopt the acre-crop idea OF
testing Texas soil, and of bringing
ourselves around to a more scientific
and more profitable method of farm
ing. Let Texas farmers show just how
much they can raise per acre. rather
than follow the old plan OF showing
ust how many acres they are able
to plant and partially cultivate. The

HERE AND THERE.

Any farm of 100 acres judiciously
apportioned to pasture and forage
crops ought to carry the equivalent of
25 adult cattle and turn off carload of
fat cattle every winter, worth on the
market $1,000.
In the annual report of Secretary
Ct the Interior Hitchcock it is esti'
mated that the irrigable area of the
United States is 74,000,000 acres, cap
able of comfortably supporting under
Il proper irrigation system 5O,oO0,O00
people.
That farmer has not proven su-
periCr TO failure who is forced to sell
his produce whether prices are high
or low. IF he is in condition to sell
when he pleases, he is also master of
the situation, and if he holds his po-
sition he will succeed.
Farmers want to be on their guard
against the allurement VI ~ or 8
cents for cotton. A large crop next
year will certainly result in last years
prices. Raise cotton by all means, but
raise as much else as may be conven.

Helen walked through the village up
10 the pleasant park with which the
state has surrounded the asylum fer

able length from the gate oil the
grounds to the building, and Helen
was to encounter melancholy sight.
AS she went along the serpentine
path, n procession came toward her.
There must have been hundred men
i'm it and they moved slowly and most
of them walked with bowed heads.
Their feet appeared to press the earth
heavily. At first Helen thought it
must be funeral procession, but a
moment later she perceived that 1t
yas something more distressing. 1t
xyas the walk of those who had sur
yived their own death. In other
words, it was u body OF insane pa
tients. exercising the bodies that held
their persisted minds. Helen shrank
aside and stood fascinated while they
missed her. Some of them looked at
her curiously, or with lack-luster
gaze, or wistfully. A sudden appre-
CLINTON of her own youth and health
and sanity came over her and made
her all the more pitiful toward these
unfortunates.
The procession had passed and she
yvas about resuming her way 10 the

the ranks ana walked nurriedly to-
ward Ter. None sof the rest looked
around. The attendants had not no
ticed his deyertion. and his steps on
the sward made no sound. He came
with a rapid, gliding step toward Hell
en-. showing his teeth in broad smile.
Helen decided that, however imperti-

he was in good humor This was con-

from turning cold with nervous dread.
As he approached he lifted his hat

Mining Matters

Mir Davey, the London eXpsrt who examined the Lezinsky group here last week, spent a couple of days in the Snakspear district, and was well pleas cd with the camp.
 The Carlisle mining district, situated a few miles from Duncan, is again at tracing a considerable amount of at tention. A new ten-stamp mill is being erected and a large amount Of devei- opment work is being done throughout the camp.
 Ten cars of cement to be used in the construction of the Medler concentrator and smeI;er will arrive in a few days. The machinery for the plant will com mence to arrive about the last of the month. The work of preparing the ground for the plant is progressing rapidly.
 While prospecting in the hills near Clifton last week Ben Crawford ran orro a very peculiar piece of float which he at once recognized as the ex- ude from deposit of coal oil. MT. Crawford is interested in coal oil wells in California, and has therefore given oil and oil wells considerable study. and he now feels certain that coal oil exists in the neighborhOod of Clifton, but whether in paying quantities re- mains to be proven.
 D. NJ Riordon, financial agent of the General Electric company of New York, assisted by Mir. Walsh. a notcd mining expert of the City of Mexico. and N. s. Berray of Silver City N. NJ, is making a thorough examination Of old locations in the neighborhood of Mstcalf. They have been engaged on the work for nearly two weeks and will probably fin- ish in few days, and if the results of the investigation are satisfactory, ana other conditions favorable. MT. Rior- don's company will proceed with the development of some of the properties on an extensive scale. If the deal goes through this new company will be Q most valuable acquisition to the min ing interests of Clifton.
 While doing development work on the Stewart group of claims recently, a six foot vein of sulphide ore was en- countered in the tunnel. The full breast of the tunnel is now in rich ore. The full importance of th7 strike cannot be determined at the present time, as the extent of the body is not now known. Tn former years a considerable amount of very Itch ore was taken from the sam place on the claim. but during tho last few years the development work was done about 200 feet lower down, and without satisfactory results. The tunnel is now being pushed on, and if the ore continues for any considerable distance the strike can be regarded as of much importance.-Copper Era.

It has been suggested that the Gories of the codfshermen who ply their in- dustry on the Newfoundland banks in the path of transatlantic steamers, and who are frequently lost in fogs or run down by vessels, should be fur nished with telephonic apparatus for detecting the approach of steamers in time to give a warning signal. Sound is transmitted very distinctly under water. and advantage is taken of this fact in the suggested appliance. It consists of sensitive microphone, which is submerged in the water, and
 d telephone and battery connected with
 it. By this instrument the thrashing and uttering of a steamers screw can be heard about three miles, thus giving

AMERICAN SALEsMEN BEST.

Consul Hossfeld of Trieste, after an nouncing that cheap lamps could be sold in southern Austria to great ad- vantage if American manufacturers would initiate the tactics of the Vien- nsse lamp makers and open stores of their own, continues his report as fol- lows: NO native can sell American wares in foreign country as success fully as an American who is familiar with the language and customs of the country. This in recent years has been demonstrated in every large city of Eu- rope. The American knows what most retailers in southern Europe. at least still have to learn. viz. how to adver- tize, how to display goods, how to meet competition, how to gratify and at the same time to educate the popular taste and, above all he knows how to hustle. It is. moreover, difficult to induce a native retailer to buy foreign wares as long as their sale is still in the tentative stage
