In q we'll built cabin of logs the
farmer lived in the simplest manner
and with the strictest economy. His
rooms were warmed and his food was

from the middle Of the house. His
food was chiefly pork and rye. onions
and Sauerkraut, milk and cheese, tur-
nips and Indian corn. Sometimes
fresh meat was added. But no beeves
nor sheep were slaughtered till every
part Of the carcass had been disposed
Of among the families on the neigh
boring farms.
With this exception, everything he
ate grew upon his own land. Every
thing he wore was made under his
own roof. The good wife and her
daughters cultivated the garden patch
that lay near the house. trained the
honeysuckles that shaded the door,
spun the FAX and wooden yarn, work

farmers are just beginning to realize
that an increased yield of from SIS to
$40 an acre can be had by the use Of
fertilizer, and experiments have
proven this to be a fact beyond doubt
Commercial fertilizers are revolution.
izing farming, and while not as extern
siyely used in this state as in others,
Texas farmers are gradually learning
the advantages of intensive farming.
Last year Texas used 3S,400 tons of
commercial fertilizer and Alabama
used 100000 tons, yet there is as
much land that needs fertilizing in
Texas as there is in Alabama. The
fertilizer plant is located in Bryan and
the farmers of the surrounding coun-
try can exchange their cottonseed for
fertilizer. The plant has a capacity OF
100 tons per day, and there is never
a time when the fertilizer can not be
secured. Brazos county farmers in
greater numbers every year are using
this advantage to increase their yield.

Fertilizer Works.

The fertilizer department is most
complete. The building, 175x102 feet
stands between the Houtson & Texas
Central and International & Great
Northern railroads, with a spur track
on each side making loading most con-
venient. The Star brand cotton and
corn fertilizer, which is the CONNER
cial fertilizer most generally used by
farmers in this section, is made here.
The mixer is OF the latest style and is
very serviceable. The mixing, sacking
and weighing are all done by one ma
chine. and after the ingredients are
fed into it they come out as sacked
fertilizer, each sack containing exactly
one hundred pounds. The fertilizer is
made under the supervision of DR.. G.
S. Traps. state chemist and professor
of chemistry in A. e NJ. college, and
each sack has attached to it tag
bearing his signature. The power for
the fertilizer machine is furnished by
a fifteen-horse power gasoline engine,
which is also used to unload cotton
seed.
This fertilizer plant is the only one
in Central Texas, the nearest else
where being located at Houston. Many
carloads Of its product are shipped to
various points in this section. The

Oil Mill.

In the oil mill a force of at least
twenty men are busy making cotton
seed meal and cottonseed oil. The
seed is ground into meal and through
a mechanical process the meal is made
into cakes. These cakes are put into
a press under a pressure of $500
pounds, and thus the oil is extracted
The cake is then ground, sacked and
is ready for market as cottonseed
meal. The oil mill was the only part

crude oil is pressed from the meal it
is taken through a refining process
and made into cooking oil.
