factories of other kinds, saw mills, &c.,
with big wholesale trade. Of course
the smaller towns do not have all that
Tyler has, but in proportion they are
as we'll off.
The esurrounding country makes good
farming lands, but cannot of course
raise as much cotton and corn as Red
River bottoms or Texas black lands, or
as much hay, wheat, &c, as some
portions of the state, but he who owns
and properly cultivates that land can
do more than make a living, and al
ways has it in his power to turn his
farm into peach orchards and vegeta-
bic patches, from which his returns
will be large,
Near to and around Nacogdoches the
land is of light, sandy loan, and is
said to yield tobacco as fine as any
grown in Cuba. So that along and
near the Cotton Belt, from TeXarkana
to Sufkin the farmer and horticulturist
is offered land of high grade at low
prices-land that will yield the crops
that he desires to handle. Such lands
can be bought for from So per acre and
up, according to improvements on such
terms as hereinbefore indicated.
The health of the county seems to be
good. | saw and talked to many of the
town and county people, who were
good-looking, strong and healthy, and
they told me there was but little sick
ness among them, though they said
frankly that the most of the sickness
was from chllls or other ailments pro-
duced by malaria influences. Yet, since
| have been looking into the matter, /
believe that the people l have seen in
my round, and the people living in the
sections visited are as we'll and strong
for the most part as in our own.
Certainly there is vast amount OF
fine, productive land in that section,
waiting for somebody to take it up,
cultivate it, and make a good living on
it, and it seems strange to me people
seeking western homes should not take
it. The matter of health gets better
and better as the land is more and
more cleared up and cultivated, and is
not thing that should deter migrants
since by careful living, malarial troub'
les may generally be avoided.
Leaving Texas, my next stop was
made at Pine Bluff in Arkansas, and as
this letter is long enough, | shall say
no more now. q. L. LEE.

The Country Editor.

There be folks who think the country
editor Is farmer and others who know
so little as to deem Kim man with no
more Imagination than rich banker or
lawyer with big practice. But they
do not know their man. Note the fol-
lowing poem in prose as it flows from
the pen of the editor, Office boy and
press feeder of the Alfalfa, Ga, Union;
Miss Isabella Huffman, a most pre-
possessing, vivacious and highly ac.
complished young lady of Rome, Ga. +,
is visiting the interesting and happy
family of her brother, Conductor J. H..
Huffman, of Gadsden. The fair Miss
Isabella is one of those modest, sweet
young ladies that look the picture of
loveliness, happiness and beauty, and
is one of the most radiantly and beau
tifully luminous figures to be found
among her sex; also is the rich and
proud possessor Of most fascinating
pair of sparkling peppers, supplemented
with the most gorgeous, beautiful
showers of coal black tresses, which
fall 50 gracefully and nestle so closely,
charmingly, admirably and covetously
about her neck and shoulders in such
rich profusion, and which would make
q Grecian beauty Of Queen envy
could they but see her. Miss Huff
man belongs to a distinguished Geor-
gian family of the genuine thorough
bred type, refined, modest, cultured
and intellectual, bordering somewhat
on gilt-edged aristocracy, while
sprightliness is set upon her lips, and
in readiness of wit she is unsurpassed.

Beans ami Cow Peas.

Soy beans and COW peas intended for
hay should be cut when in bloom or
wheu the first pods are formed, and
should be raked into windrow after
they have wilted and partially dried
and be allowed to cure in these rows for
day and then to be put into cock to
complete the curing. In this way the
leaves, which are the richest part of the
plant in food value, will be saved, and
bright green hay will be made. After
standing in cock few days, open out
after the dew is off aud sun for au hour
or two and haul to the barn and pack
down tight. If free from rain, water or
dew the hay will keep perfectly, even
though sill having considerable natur-
al moisture in it. 1t will heat consid-
erbly, but this will not injure it If not
disturbed until cool again. Sorghum
for hay should be cured in the same
way. Cut before the plant blooms and
