varieties of legumes growing I saw
' several kinds of soy beans and they
are great for hogs, and are soil build-

here as they seem to resist drouth bet-

tive and interesting to me. The grape
display by Mr. Munson of Denison was
the beat that could have been made in
the world of its kind, for it has been
said of Mr. Munson that he is better
known in France than in Texas, sim-
ply because FYance is so much more
interested in grape growing than Tex-
as, and not for lack of appreciation.
About one-half of one of the large
rooms used for display of orchard jfco-
ducts was taken up by his collection
of grapes, and all of these grapes were
of his own production, and this grand
old man knows his grapes and can
talk about their pedigree, etc., just like
the chicken man his fine chickens, or
the stock man bis thoroughbreds. I
-wish, I knew enough about grapes to
describe the different varieties of large
symmetrica) bunches of a^ colors that
he had, but the task is too much for
me. "'
The next thing that impressed me
most was the growing of ninety-eight
varieties of cotton on the experimen-
tal grounds at the Station, with a view
of getting a hybrid that will be bet-
ter than any we have now; to see how
this cotton breeding is done is inter-

on this work right, bbt if the fault ia

in the rear of Wm. Waldock’t meat

and the badger let out of the box, naff

two being mlxed\ up for aom* tin*

again. The badger caught the dog ta
the jaw, at which he aet up a howl of
pain and caught the badger in tho
