FARMING IN ERATH. '
There’s Much in tbe Land and Much
in the Man.
John T. Matthews came from Tate
county, Miss., 1878, and settled seven
miles above Stephenville. lie bad a span
of moles, a wagon and about §50 in mon-
ey, and seven or eight in family, lie
bought 160 acres of land in Bosque val-
ley. Gave the mules and wagon on first
payment and ran the first year on a credit
fot supplies. He bad bis ups and-downs,
but now owns bis farm, well Improved,
about seventy-five head of cattle, a ranch
of 160 acres with fifty acres in cultiva-
tion and several head of hones and hogs
and bas made Ibis yysr fifteen bales of
cotton, has meat and corn to sel, and all
tbe comforts needed arouod a country
home. Ilia cotton has averaged every
year half a bale to (he acre and bis com
from thirty to fifty bushels per acre.
J. M. Hunt came from Paulding coun-
ty, Ga., twenty-five miles west of At-
lanta, in 1876 with §200, and at the end of
tbe year, owing to the drouth, bad noth-
ing. He brought his young wife and one
child, and settled down to succeed. He
had a hard time for tbe first two years,
losing his child soon after arriving. He
had no connections or acquaintances in
the country, aud therefore made slow
headway at first Settled near Morgan’s
Mill, bought the land he now lives on
seven years ago, 2$8 acres, and it is worth
#1500. It cost about §500. Except tbe
two drouth years, be has made good
crops every year, and during the drought
period bad to buy but fifteen bushels of
corn. For tbe last three years his cotton
crops nave averaged half a bale to the
acre, and bis corn thirty-five bushels. He
has paid for his land, and now owns tight
head of horses, twenty-one head of cattle,
plenty of hogs for his owen meat and
some to spare ; bas made this year’s crop
without making any store account, aud
is in debt only about §115 for some ad
dilional land. Could pay that now, out
of this cotton crop, but it is not pressing
and be uses tbe money to bny his wife a
sewing machine and an organ, and wire
to fence 100 more acres of land.
His doctor’s bills bave been very light.
Since 1876 he has had two cases of ma-
larial fever and one of pneumonia In his
family.
Mr. Hunt now has five children, and he
and family are all healthy, contented and
happy—bave good neighbors, plenty of
church and school advantages, and would
not give up his home and farm in Erath
and return to Paulding county, Ga., for
tbe best average farm there and be re
quired to live and farm for a living.
A Ripe Old Age.
J. n. Holcomb and wife, of Bclcher-
'ville, Texas, have celebrated their flfty-
tiflb wedding anniversary, and are still
bale and hearty. Tbe secret of their long
life and good health is that they correct
any slight ailment promptly, and in that
way avoid serious sickness. Like most
every one else, they arc more frequently
tronbled with constipation than any other
physical disorder. To correct this they
lake St. Patrick’s Pills in preference to
any other, because, as Mr. Holcomb says,
they are a mild pill, and bes.de3, keep
the whole system In good order. We
prixe them very bigh'y. For sale by L.

ribbon cane bas become tbe chief crop

FINE STOCK KIP BOOTS

borne years ago we were very much
subject to severe spells of cholera mor-
bus; and now when wc feci any of tbe
symptoms that usually precede that ail-
ment, such as sickness at the stomach,
diarrhoea, etc., wc become scary. We
have found Chamberlain’s Remedy the
very thing to straighten one out in sucli
cases, and always keep it about. It is
somewhat similar to the usual cholera
cures, but seems to contain ingredients
that render it more pleasant to take, and
that do their work more quickly. Sheriff
Dcveieux tells us that he is subject to
cholera morbus, and recently felt a spell
coming on, when he ob'ained a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, aud two doses made him
all right. We are not writing this for a
pay testimonial, but to iet our readers
know what is a good thing to keep handy

As compared with other varieties of
useful poultry there ore but few geese
raised; and yet those who have proper
surroundings can raise them profitably.
The farmer who possesses a field that is
rocky or hilly, tlirongh which flows a
brook, or that has in it a pond of water,
can raise them with profit for flesh and
feathers alone, as what is tenaai^Um
geese feathers" are always in demand at
a fair price, ond the young fattened in
the fall generally demand good figures.
To have them produce n good supply of
feathers of the finest quality they must
have free access to water.
To the fancier of thoroughbreds who
has a place like the above geese are more
than donbly profitable; as there is always
a demand for good specimens for breed,
ing and show purposes, particularly ol
the Embden and Toulouse Varieties. In
raising geese we claim there in its mnch
a right and a wrong way as in raisin*
any other varietj- of poultry. If yon
would raise the largest per cent, possible
of the young that are hatched, and de
sire that they should become as larg.
and fine os possible, it is its mnch a neces-
sity that the goslings never are allowed
to have access to a pond, brook, pnddh
or even a pan of water to sit in as it it-
for the older ones to have free access to
water.
Give them cups to drink from and see
that they are supplied with all they want
at all times, bat do not allow them tc
swim until the breast is well feathered:
and until they are well covered with
feathers see that they are under slielte;
as <fcell as the chicks during heavy show
ers. Remember they are “silly as geese,’
and unless yon see to it that they art
housed the chances are they wjll stand
in some corner with heads up squealing
anti crying and soaked to the hide. Be
careful not to overfeed the young, ot
they will be troubled with indigestion,
weak legs, etc. Give them a pasture
with plenty of grass and feed sparingly
of fatWhing grains. After they are
feathered turn them out with tho old
ones and feed grain only once daily, and
my word for it, yon will raise a larg.
per cent, of those hatched, and they will
develop into large, fine specimens.

The pure buff Cochins are orange buff or

Cochin i3 that the hens are such careful

ferred to them, Jiowever, although they
add attractive variety to a collection ol

Ilot Shoeing.
In comparing these two methods tho
first fact is that the hot method is more
easily executed and more rapid than the
other. The horn when it is dry is so
hard that it is difficult to cut with the
instruments, and consequently more time
and exertion are* required on the part of
the workman than when it is previously
softened by the application of heat, and
quite as mnch injury is frequently done
to the lioof by insufficient paring as when
too much hits been cut away.
Another advantage of hot shoeing is
that the shoe thus applied is iu much
more intimate and solid relation with
the hoof than when applied cold. Ex-
periments on this head show that more
than doable the number of shoes were
lost by cold than by hot application.
Although at the present time almost]^
every one concedes the superiority of
hot shoeing, still exceptional cases exist
when the cold method is preferable—
for example, when the hoof is naturally
very thin or rendered so by excessive
paring: or this may also occur when the
animal lias been forced to go barefoot.
In such cases the surface no longer
offers a sufficient protection to the teu-
sils, aud these may be easily injured by
the heat. In these cases the clever
workman can turn and adjust the shoe
so that very little trial is necessary in
order to insure a proper fit, and when
lie finds it necessary to apply the shoe
this is done with a very- small amount of
heat, and only for an instant's time.—

Won’t Listen to Them.
One of the most confusing elements of
the situation in Kansas is that the Alli-
ance leaders have persuaded members in
a large part of the state to refuse to lis-
ten to Republican speakers during the
campaign. A prominent stump speaker
said to your correspondent today that
he feared this more than any other thing
the Alliance has yet done.—T* peka Cor
