mule furnished the only means of wrans
portation. Wichtheir coming, hoof and
wheel were introduced, supplanted in
turn by the iron horse in 1853, the
first tuile of railway was constructed in
the Nitate. Under pressure alone of in-
creased production, five thousand miles
have been built, and are now in active
operation. Texas, 1 believe, to-day is
the only State in the Union where the
construction of railways has i nt been
discontinued. In the extension of
main trunk lines and independent
roads her activity keeps pace with her

improvement, in removing ob-

rivers, in the irrigation of her Western
plains, and especially in the construe-

has outstripped them all in the princely

soil and climate have not less conclu-
sively shown that she can produce the
cereals to feed the millions of the
earth’s inhabitants in a large degree.
The grain-growing capabilities of Texas
are just beginning to be tested. For
the past few years whent was only grown
to meet the necessities of limited see
tions in the more recent periods the
product hasbeen wonderfully increased,
and the yield hast year in thirteen of
the best grain growing counties of Texas
amounted to ten millions of bushels.
Heretofore we have regarded the great
Northwestern States as the only source
of supply for our bread and meat stuff.
Now that we are connected by great
lines of railway with the Northwestern
States, we have begun to reverse the
old course of trade: and last year over
four millions of he shels of when were
actually shipped to Kansas City and St.
Louis for a market.
Weare yet deflcient—but will not al-
ways be so-in improved facilities for
manufacturing flour, as compared with
the great mills of the West. And hence
this very, grain in many instances was
reshipped to Texas in the form of flour
just as thousands of our hogs from the
lower counties of the State were shipped
the last winter to St. Louis te be sold
to us again as bacon and lard.
