two hours and although it la very early
in the morning, a warm welcome ia ex-
tended by the city and those who
dido** take carriagea ami view the
city. Relics and souvenirs are iu de-
mand and one enthusiastic lady takes
a brick from a chimney being torn
down and carries it to the car in her
handkerchief. The ..Id state house
looms up in the morning f.*, *nm
and defiant as when the first tlarni of
secession rang through its corridors,
Montgomery is a staid hospitable old
eitv, typically southern and one ..f the
few which the vandal «f progreaaiv
ideas hns not aroused from autc helium
slumbers. But even now Montgomery
waking to the matfie touch of com-
mercial development an.l is infusing
more life into the arteries of trade
which bind it to the trade of the fertile
fields of "old Alalia ma."
Here we leave the lewisville an.l
Nashville which has given us snch
courteous reception along its lines,
and change to the Plant system, the
Santa Fe of the south. Never before
lias any parly received such magnifi-
cent treatment as is given us by this
system. Col. B. W. Wren, the gener-
al passenger agent, leaves his office
and personally chape rones our special
over his lines from here to Tampa and
return to Jacksonville. We leave
Montgomery and nm "wild schedule
all day, through fields where "negro
mammy's and pickaninies" are glean
ing the scattering bits of cotton
through lowlands where the stump
puller never drew breath an.l the one
mule plow dodges and ricochets along
front of a rolicsome com fednigger:
through pine forests where the trees
stand so closely together that the hark
of one frequently covers as many as a
half dozen, and where the trunks are
tall that an ordinary pile driver
would wilt in despair nt sight of 'em.
It is through this long day's run
that our people in the Varzo discuss
the caprice of fate which everlastingly
since time first unrolled its unwritten
record, h s consigned the western odds
and ends of delegations to quarters in
a Pullman car which is a relic of an
tiquity ami that always next to the en-
gine where the playful quiver <>f its
heavy springs jars one's religious '«•-
liefs into a cateelysm of untimely and
universal hell, superintended by the
exact number of personal devils, as
equal the number of people in the car.
It was such audible musings oil the
part of Col. P. L. Campbell , editor of
the Eugene (Oregon) Daily Ouard,
and the presence of delegate* from
Washington, Texas an.l Oklahoma in
the car which revolutionized its pseu-
donym and converted it into sentient
animated life under the tittle of "the
Kattell Kar." This much now of the
car on which we ride. In a later let
ter we will mention it again, but mean
time we refer to it by its new name
exclusively.
We stop at Thomasville, (leorgia
for supper. Having eaten scarcely
nothing since early morning it is a
hungry crowd which pours into the
dining rooms of the Pines and the
— house. The Kattell Kar crowd
assigned by Secretary Page to the j
Farmer and we find it a palace of |
beauty, almost hidden among its
stately name givers, with broad veran
das (or galleries as they are called
here), aud wide hall ways opening into
spacious magnificently furnished par-
lors. It is a noted winter resort and
its genial gray haired host gives us
the I test and we are loth to leave him.
But the "liest of friends" must part

some of our delegation from the west

ty of Oklahoma in climate and its
wonderful advantages as a divorce

Kattell Kar by "Satolli" Campbell
notwithstanding her protests of ina
bility to find "de tall white gemmeu
ho axed me to go." But the gallant
Nichols was not to be found anywhere,
and she was left to comfort the next
tall white gemmen" who may strike
her critical fancy.
We are off for Tampa, the deep wa-
ter terminal of the great plant system.
The silent stars shine tenderly on our
slumbers and we awake not many

Next week we will look at the dead

The following ably written paper
read hy l>. O. Lively l>efore the recent
Farmers' Congress at Cleburne. Tex.,
ia of value to every stock man. Read
it carefully and you will note many
gtasl points:
•Mr. President and Members ofTex-
State Farmers'Congreaa: That such
a subject as the one chosen for my |>a
per should lie discussable before a farm
organization is something in the na-
tura of a reflection on the farmers of
this state, as the unbroken experience
of the history of agriculture since it
has been the sustenance or mankind is
thai the raising, feeding and market-
ing of live stock was its moat import-
ant feature. But the fact that in the
year l«M somewhat in excess of fc.1l,-
UUH.iWU was sent out of Texas for pork
pnaluce aloue, and that less than a
fifth of our immense number of cattle
arc fed before being shipped to market
ahows that something is radically
wrong, and makes this question one
that should Is- closely investigated and
acted upon hy every man in the state
engaged iu agricultural pursuits. It is
true that for a short lime hack and |
especially during the year so recently
closed, there has been a wonderful ad-
vancement in this most im|Mirtant
branch of agriculture, but altogether so
lax have we Ix-en ill this respect that
• idea extaut among many people
the North and East is that corn in
Texas is a precarious crop, grain rais-
ing impossible, and that all of our
feed stuff liecomes so raouldly, bug and
weevil eaten soon after gathering nsto
he unfit for use. We can, however,
hardly find fault with these people
since we ourselves have lived under im-
pressions equally as absurd. 1, for in-
stance, when on the farm, liriuly
shared the general belief that the corn
we raised was not fit for export, and
there are many who hold the same the-
ory today, despite the fact that the
Santa Fe Railroad alone has haudled
thousands of cars of Texas corn into
Galveston this season for foreigu
shores, to say nothing of what went
ia New Orleans.
I am reminded here of something 1
saw the other day, said at one time by.
in my opinion, the very greatest man
the South ever produced—Henry W.
Grady, he said he had attended a
nts, and oilier pork ill proportion
and hogs liriuging at a nearby market
from Hi to 4 cents, it is a losing in-
vestment for the farmer to kill and
care for his own meat for the simple
reason that the parts of the animal on
which the packer alone makes a profit
are a dead loss to the man rflio kills at
But to revert to conditions. How-
many Johnson count v or Texas farm-
era have a few head of sheep, au ani-
mal the wool of which even at its pres-
ent low price, will pay for its feed an.l
keep, and the carcass when fat sell at
an average for Texas sheep 13.00 |ier
lica.lt There are over 400.000 fanners
in Texas and not one in every font has
at any lime in the year a corn or grain
fed beef or hog to sell.
Take a good average Texas three-
year-old steer, the weight of which
wheu he is sold is generally NfiO to I'**1
pounds. On the present market he will
bring if he weighs 1000 pounds alsiul
(CK, from which must Is* detlucicd
freight and ex|>eiise of selling, netting
his owner als.ut *iTi. He must lie good
grass fat to bring that price, and must
also lie smooth an.l shapely, condition*
difficult to attain on gra«* alone, mid
the chances are he will have cost llmt
much ir bought on the range. Now
take the same steer, and last October
when the corn crop was gathered have
him put on a com diet. He will have
eaten alsiut 40 bushels i r corn at -•"
cents a bushel, or $10. His weight
now would be allof IJWpounds, worth
on I he same market *4*. minus expense
of selling only alstut $1 more than the
grass Steer and netting his owner fM ,
making his corn bring about 117 cent*
a bushel, or 12 cents more than if In
had sold it at current market figures.

Another View of the Matter.
A late issue of the Enid Wave con-
tains the following:
The necretarv of agriculture has seen
fit to extend the quarantine line north
to the state line between Kansas and
Oklahoma frotn Colorado to Missouri,
which places all cattle shipped from
tbis territory in quarantine in the
markets of '.lie east which places a sus-
picion on the same that will materially
reduce the price of our cattle, whether
they are diseased or not.
There is no Texas fevev among the
cattle in this territory, hence, the
change is an outrage and our delegate
at Washington should be instructed to
do all he can to place the line back
where it was. The people of Oklahoma
are not honest with themselves, hence
tbese troubles. It is a well known fact
that diseased Texas cattle have been
driven Into Beaver county and shipped.
The Wave has it from good authority
that three car loads or diseased Texas
cattle were driven to Waukomis and
shipped, as well as to two other sta
tions in the territory, hence, the change
of tbe lines. The people must play
honest with their government or suffer
tbe consequences. T!«.e government
has placed safe guards around the cat
tie business. It is the duty of any citi-
zen knowing of the shipment of dis-
eased cattle to report it and the law
compels railroads to report it. If the
atockmen of the territory had forbid-
den tbe fever stricken cattle of Texas
to come In here for shipment tbe lines

that they buried the dead man in the
midst f a marble quarry, they out
through solid marble to make his
grave, and yet the little tombstone
they put altove him was from Ver-
mont. They buried hint in the heart of
n pine forest, an.l yet the pine coffin
was imported from Cincinnati. They
buried him within touch of an iron
mine and yet nails in his coffin and
the t.s.ls used in digging his grave
were imported from Pittsburg. They
buried him beside the best sheep-graz-
ing country on earth (Mr. Grady must
have thought of Texas here), and yet
the wool in his coffin was brought from
the North. The South did not furnish
a thing on earth for that funeral but
the corpse and a hole in the ground.
Gentlemen, Mr. Grady saw what the
South needed, an.l while his remarks
are especially applicable to our lack of
manufacturing enterprise, they
readily be paraphrased to describe our
failings as farmers. We eat bread
made of Northern wheat, paidfor with
money made in other crops in a sec-
tion of country, over a great part of
which wheat can certainly be raised
cheaper than flour can be bought. We
nd millions of dollars out of the state
for i>ork products, and yet it has been
time and again demonstrated that
Texas can raise hogs cheaper than
anywhere in the Union. We buy
Northern dried fruits, Northern raised
peas, beans, potatoes and other vege
tables, and yet it cannot be disputed
that all of these things can be raised
and put up cheaper than they can be
bought from elsewhere, and what is
best of all, gentlemen, every one of
these farm products can be used to
supplement corn and grain in the
economical feeding of hogs, sheep and
cattle for home consumption and sale,
How many farmers are there in this
good county of Johnson, where the
seasons are sure, crop failures un
known, and the land as naturally fer-
tile as the much vaunted valley of the
Nile, who are converting surplus feed
into all the year round marketable
live stockT Only a distressingly
percentage, and yet right here at their
very doors is a half supplied market
begging for the chance to turn loose
in exchange for hogs alone any part of

proximately the rise of six million dol

but it is the generally shared conclu-
sion of every one who has studied the
subject that it adds an increased valu-
ation of from *1 to $11 on every head
of cattle in the state, of itself a princely
sum. The question of market is always
one of importance; the hog market is
already established right at home and
that for your fat cattle waiting for the
supply. As for that, though, there has
never been a time when fat stock did
not find ready sale, but now we have
the expense of getting to market great-
ly minimized, an item of no little pro-
portion.
Reverting to the matter of feeding
cattle some one may ask if there is
money to lie made in feeding cattle,
why is it that most of the big feeders
are losing money this seasonf It is
simply because most cattle feeder* are
speculators, and last year, floating on
the crest of a temporary boom they
paid extravagent prices for cattle. They
use borrowed capital, for which they
pay a good rate of interest, they buy
all of their feed, paying freight charges
on the same either in the seed or meal,
or even when they use corn they pay
freight on their cattle to the feeding
ground and again to market, and are
at the mercy of the buyers, for when
this feed and purchase money time
up they have to ship regardless of
prices. If they get an extension on
their pa| r it costs more interest, more
expense for feed and a greater risk
generally. It is not the big operator
who makes money, feeding either cattle
hogs or sheep; nor, as said before, does
tbe future of this industry lie with
them, but in similar holdings, distrib-
uted over a great number of people,
must this business be conducted if it
is made profitable. Il is not probable
that this condition will lie brought
about in a day, but we should, as eir
cunistaoce* permit, gradually take ad

say tyvo head for every
three of steers, as oftimes the increase
in the hogs will pay for the feed, leav-
ing the added weight in the cattle clear
proht. This plan has been found fo
work admirably wherever tried, an.l
there are dozens of farmers in this iut
mediate section who have more feed
than they can use, and who if right at
this season should begin the feeding
of one or two cars of cattle and half
the number of hogs would realize from
50 to 75 cents a bushel for their corn
at the time the stock would be put on
the market.
Probably, Mr. President, the biggest
fallacy indulged in by a majority of
Texas farmers is that it is necessary to
have a superabundance of corn to put
stock in a marketable condition, but
while it is true that nothing has ever
been raised to take the place of corn in
putting the finish on stock for market
it does not foil, w they must eat it all
the time. It would be equally as reas-1
onable to say that a man must eat corn
bread every day iu the yenr in order to
be healthy. In this very particular
have we the advantage of the other
statos, us we can supplement and ef-
fectually aid the effect of corn with
muscle and bone developing forage
crops, such as sorghum, millet, rye,
oats, wheat, barley, kaffir corn or milo
maize, thereby reducing the cost of
feeding and producing lietter results
than with the single feed of corn. The
successful feed farmers of the North
never depend on corn alone and their
opportunities lor providing other prov-
ender is much more limited than our*.
I saw 2000 head of steers on n full feed
of mangelwurzels not long since, aud
they were doing well. As said in the
outset, I believe stock can be raised
and fattened in Texas cheaper than in
any state iu the L'nion.

your kindly thought for the few ideas
I have jumbled together, as for lack
