Stock and Farm Notes.
[From Texas Stockman and Farmer.]
According to the government
crop report for June the condition
of growing cotton in Texap, this
year, is 3 per cent above the June
average for fifteen years.
The average corn crop of the
United States is from 2,000,000,000
to 2,500,000,000 bushels and nets
the producer about 20 cents per
bushel in the crib, or a total of
$100,000,000 to the producers.

Cattle buyers at the big markets
say that the weather is too warm
for the beef trade. Choice light
weight cattle are holding their
own, but plain and heavy cattle
have suffered a decline.
With a net work of railroads
. and deep water on the Texas coast
all that is needed now to give
Texas the greatest degree of pros-
perity, is the erection of factories
to consume Texas products.

Mutton shippers should under-
stand that common and inferior
sheep and lambs are not wanted by
the big slaughterers at any price.
The prevailing hot weather has
greatly curtailed the consumption
of mutton.

If it keeps on raining in the
range districts of Texas, and to the
summer rains are added good fall
s rains, a large number of fat cattle
will go direct to market from
Texas next spring instead of being
moved to territory pastures.

Texas produces the raw material
in abundance, such as cotton, wool,
lumber and other products of the
ranch, farm, mine and orchard,
but she is woefully short on facto-
ries. The raw materials produced
in the state ought to be worked
up at home.
*X-
Farmers should remember that
quality is a great help in selling a
product. The farmer who takes
to town a prime load of corn, hay,
oats, wheat, poultry, hogs, wool,
sheep or any other product of the
A farm that grades above the ave-
rage, always finds a ready market
at top prices.

Every farmer should" decide to
produce enough pork for home
consumption. One brood sow is
usually quite enough to supply the
annual wants of one family.
With side crops during the year
no corn is needed after spring
opens until the hogs are penned
in the fall and the lard needs to
he hardened.

Five years ago the people of;
Texas did not know that all the
staple grains, as well as cotton
and corn, were natural products of
the great Texas coast country; that:
peaches, pears, figs, grapes andj
all small fruits do better than in,
California, with less than one-half!
of the freight and six weeks ear-j
lier in the market.

Owing to continued overstock-
ing and protracted drouths many
pastures in Texas are almost bare
of gra-s, and even now, after
abundant rains, spots, acres in ex-
tent, may be found which hardly
show a blade of grass. There is
only one way to bring back these
pastures to their once valuable
condition, and that is to give them
absolute rest. All the grass in
worn-out pastures should be al-
lowed to go to seed this summer,
and, with good fall and winter
rains, by next spring all the bare
spots will again be covered with a
good coat of grass. On the other
hand, if worn-out pastures are
* again overstocked this summer
and fall, it may be years before
such a favorable opportunity arises
for bringing back the range to old-
time conditions.
Mr. R. L. Ziiler, of Austin, who
came up Thursday visiting the
tamily of M r, W. F. Barnes, at the
request of the Christian Science
church here, gave an informal talk
Sunday afternoon at the court-
house at 4 o’clock to quite a nice
audience of people, some of whom
came from Burnet county, a dis-
tance of twenty miles. The sub-
ject handled was what Christian
Science is and what it is not, and
was ably presented by the speaker
and enjoyed by the audience.

A CURE FOB CHOLERA IN
EANTUM.
Neyer Known to Fail.
During last May an infant child of
our neighbor’s was suffering from chol-
era infantum. The doctors had given
up all hopes of recovery. I took a hot -
tie of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling
them I felt sure it would do good if
used according to directions. In two
days’ time the child had fully recovered.
The child is now vigorous and healthy.
I have recommended the remedy fre-
quently and have never known it to
fail.—Mrs. Burtis Baker, Bookwalter,

Of the entire human race it is
estimated that 500,000,000 are
well dressed, that is they wear
garments of some kind, 250,000,000
habitually go naked, and 700,000
only cover parts of their bodies.
500.000. 000 live in houses 700,000,-
000 live in huts and caves and
250.000. 000 have virtually no shel-
ter at all.

ajn HUMBLE MILLIONAIRE.
Unusual Life of a man with
Tons of Money
Mr. James Tyson, the Austra-
lian millionaire, rose from the po-
sition of a plowman. He com-
menced life as a mower on $3 a
week, and died worth $25,000,000.
All through his life he remained
an industrious plowman. Poor or
rich, he worked all day and every
day: he never put on a white shirt,
never wore any but the plainest
clothing, never owned a pair of
gloves, and never ate anything but
the coarse, plain food to which in
his poor days he had been accust-
omed. He never read; enjoyed
no amusements, and sought as lit-
tle intercourse with his fellow
creatures as business permitted.
He though little about money, did
not give any away, and did not
seek greatly to add to his store,
and never married. His one ideal
was to make water flow where no
water was, to cover arid soil with
grass, and to fill the land with good
stock. Having his whole force
concentrated on that business, he
succeeded marvelously, and
bought, fenced, watered and stock-
ed estate after estate all over Aus-
tralia, took leases of thousands of
square miles, and when he died,
was the greatest stock owner in
the world, with half a million
acres in freehold, and acres in
leasehold almost beyond counting.
Happy Results.
During the past summer the writer
had occasion to use Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
himself and in his family. He had
used it before, and always satisfacto-
rily, but gladly says with especially
happy results this time. This confirms
me in the purpose to keep it in the house
all the time and recommend it to oth-
ers.—A. R. McCollum, Manager The
