"A Land Flowing With Milk
and Honey"

BROWNSVILLE HERALD: There is
no finer bee country in the world
than right here on the lower Rio
Grande, where there is always
some plant, weed, tree or shrub
that produces honey-bearing bios
SONS the year round.
THE HERALD has only stated a
fact which apiarists have already
discovered and are utilizing. Many
colonies of bees have been shipped
into the. valley of the Lower Rio
Grande'' this year, and bee men
say that the honey made from the
banana, orange, lemon and other
blooms and flowers indigenous to
that rich and productive land is of
a quality that is par excellence.
According to the opinions express
sed by some of the beekeepers who
attended the Farmers Congress it
will not be many years before the
Lower Rio Grande country will
become one of the greatest honey
producing regions of the United
States. 1t will then be "a land
flowing with milk and honey . but
really the goats kept for milking
purposes ought to be exchanged
for Jersey cows.-G Galveston News.

MOVING PICTURES

Viii Be Used to Advertise The
Country.
The Rock Island Railroad Win Send a
Photographer to This City and to
Point Isabel to Secure Character.
istic Views Of Shore and Field.

The Rock Island Railroad is adj
vertising this section extensively.
and we learn from Mr.. Gilbert Nc
Clurg, who is in the service of the
company delivering lectures in
various parts of the United States
that it is the intention of the COM
pany to send to Brownsville within
three days an expert moving
picture photographer, who will
stay in this section several days
taking films of the views at Point
Isabel. The fishing feet will be
gathered for the purpose of getting
views of all the work done I'M
loading the vessels and getting
them ready for sea. The photo
grapher will also take pictures of
men engaged in seining.
The captain of the life saving
station has promised to give drill
for the benefit of the moving
picture operator, and if the weather
is rough the rescue of men will be
made as realistic as possible.
The object of the Rock Island
road in featuring the coast at
Point Isabel is the fact that they
are interested in the development
of the coast as an all-the-year-
around resort, and are making
stTenuos efforts to make Point
Isabel the foremost winter resort
in the United States.
While the photographer is here,
agricultural scenes in the vicinity
of Brownsville will be taken.
Arrangements have been made for
views to be taken of the Blalack
plantation and Mr.. BIalack has
promised to gather all the employees
together and put them to work in
one field.
Other places will be visited and
all kinds of scenes that will prove
of interest to Mr.. McCIurg's au-
diences will be taken.
We want to hear of a big orange
tree that is very well laden with
fruit, The object is to get the
photographer to take views of the
lady owning the tree reaching the
fruit and picking choice specimens.
The expense of the films for the
agricultural views will have to be
borne by our business men, but it
will not be very costly, as the COM
papy is only paying for the marine
views. OF course the salary of the
photographer is paid by the rail-
road company, and it is the mere
cost of the agricultural films that
Brownsville citizens will be called
upon to bear.
The value of the views as an
advertising scheme for the Browns
vile country is beyond calculation,
when a gentleman of
Mr.. McClurg's ability is present at
their exhibition to lecture on the

IN DIVINE GUIDANCE
Abraham Lincons Words, Showing His Re.
Iisious Belief.

The last farewell to his fellow citi
zens of Spring field, as he left for Wash.
hington, in February, 1861 impressive
ly illustrates the reliance of divine
guidance which ins pired his admins
tration. The last two sentences of the
farewell read: "Trusting in Him who
can go with me and remain with you
aad be everywhere for good let US con-
filently hope that all will yet be well.
TO His care commenting you, as hope
in your prayers you will commend me,
| bid you an aifectionate farewell"
This spirit OF conservation to the
great work unto which he had been
called is further eXempliied IN the
closing sentence of his speech, a few
days later, in Philadelphia, where his
text was taken from the declaration
'all men are created equal" Speak
ing impromptu he expressed the fear
that he had said something indiscreet.
"But," he added, 81 have said nothing
that | am not willing to live by and, if
it is the pleasure of Almighty God, to
die by"
The future proved how prophetic
were his words. In his first inaugural
address, 10 speaking of the heresy of
secession as a constitutional right, he
readily disposed of the whole question
in a few sentences: SIT is safe to say
that no government proper ever had in
its organic law a provision for its own
termination. One party to contract
may violate it, break it, so to speak,
but does it not require all to lawfully
rescind it," "Plainly the central idea
of secession is the essence of anarchy"

authority from the people and they

Preventing Smut in Oats.

One OF our old subscribers, living
near Mouse Bluff, Neb., asks for the
following informatiOn:
SIS there any successful treatment of
oats to prevent smut?"
There is, in fact there are several
solutions into which the seed may be
dipped, and the smut germ will be
killed, with no damage to the seed
grain. What is known as the formalin
treatment is the simplest, and is as
effective as any Here is the way to
do it.
Get of your druggist what is known
as 40 per cent solution of formaldehyde.
You will need pound of it to every 30
gallons of water; that is, each pound OF
the formaldehyde should be dissolved
in that much water. In this prepared
water the seed oats should be soaked
for two hours, then thoroughly dried
A good way is to have two or three
barrels. filled about twO-thirds full OF
the solution, then in old gunny sacks,
hang the seed in and leave it entirely
submerged for two hours. You can use
the same solution for three or four
patches of seed, when there will be so
little left that sack filed with oats
cannot be entirely submerged and the
strength of what is left would not be
sufficient to allow more water to be
added. Simply add more water and
formaldehyde as originally proper
toned.
IT. is best to take warm, sunshiny
dav for the work, then the grain can
he quickly dried 1t is best, though,
not TO leave it in sacks after drying Just
a dav in the sun. 1t IS all the better
if n bin can be used where the seed
yonld not be over a foot or two deep
for keeping until sowing. Remember
that the formaldehyde in its original
strength is very poisonous, but after
dilnted at the rate of one pound to %
Gallons of water it is not dangerous. II
i better. though, not to feed any of the

not treat only what will be needed to
