A LAND PRODUCING
TWO CROPS PER YEAR
Marvelously Rich; Enormous Yield;
Farmers Flocking In.
Brownsville, Tex., Feb. s.—Browns
▼llle is the southern terminus of the
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail
way. This line was completed in 1904,
and has opened up to development a
( Bection of the richest and most pro
ductive land to be found anywhere in
the United States —California not ex
cepted.
There is no more fertile region in
•11 this broad land of ours than that be
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande.
None will produce a greater variety of
•fruits and vegetables, or produce them
more abundantly; and what counts for
more, the Gulf coast country will pro
duce them at times when no other re
gion can. Two crops per year of the
staple vegetables is the regular pro
gramme. And yet up to the fall of
1904 comparatively little was known
of this marvelous fertility. The re
gion has heretofore been given over
to cattle raising—ranches of thousands
of acres—thus tying up all this vast
natural "Winter Vegetable Garden" un
der the merciless hoof of Texas beef
producers.
But this is all changing and chang
ing fast. Eastern and northern farm
ers and fruit growers are flocking into
this country. Towns are springing up
—ranches have been cut up into farms
—on every hand is the evidence of a
:tew era of prosperity and of develop
ment along the line of extensive irri
gated farming.
There is an underlying sheet of
clear artesian water which has been
tapped by hundreds of wells, and more
are being sunk daily. This provides
a never-failing source of supply for the
one element needed to make this coun
try a veritable garden, and there are
those who predict great things for this
Gulf coast of Texas. I am advised
that 16 car loads of people were
brought down from different points
lalong the St. Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico railway by the Rock Island
trains alone on January 15, which was
the date of a low-rate excursion.
At this pace the country bids fair
to be peopled in short order. And all
It needs is people.

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER,
Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.
Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
In her attempt to climb the highest
of the Andes, beaten not by the moun
tain itself, but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con
vinced that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
As it was she reached a height of
18,000 feet, being then about 2,000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt. One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they ap
proached the top of the mountain, of
which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband
oned.
FEARFUL BURN ING'SORES.
Boy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In
flamed—Cured by Cuticura.
"I wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery I passed with
my son. As an infant I noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger I put liiip under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, inflamed, and badly swol
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When I think of his suffering,
It nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could bo heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. I had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could I sleep.
One doctor told me that my son's
eczema was Incurable, and gave it up
for a bad job. One evening I saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
ful Cuticura and decided to give it a
trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment
Is worth its weight in gold, and when
I had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time I had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin Is as fine
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

A CHEAP GREENHOUSE.
Structure That Will Prove Adequate
for the Small Business.
This greenhouse was built for the
purpose of supplying a country town
with cut flowers, but later young
plants of tomatoes, cabbage and cauli
flower were grown as an experiment.
These proving successful, many vege
tables were grown and put upon the
home market, some time before the
gardeners had sowed the seed.
This greenhouse is perhaps larger

of Orange Judd Farmer. The main en
trance is from the south, there being
two walks two and one-half feet wide,
each extending the length of the
house. At the north end of the walk
is a door and window opening into
the furnace room. This window fur
nishes all the air for the furnace
room during cold weather. This fur
nace room is 7xlß feet and has an
outside door. The pipes extend
through the house from the furnace
under the center bench and back j
again to the boiler. The center bench '
is six feet wide and two side benches
each three and one-half feet wide.
Some 840 feet of lumber was. re-'

Orchard and Garden,
Fight the scale or cut your trees
down.
How many apples have you eaten to
day?
Scions for grafting purposes can
be taken at any time during the win
ter, or while in a dormant condition.
They can be wrapped In wet burlap,
packed with moss, or boxed with old
sawdust or excelsior.
We must grow low headed apple
trees so that we can spray and pick
the fruit at least cost, says a corres
pondent of Farm and Home. I advo
cate to start a head nine in from the
ground and keep the tree low so that
the fruit can be picked with a 12-foot
ladder.
Send in your nursery order before
the rush.
Too much land is the bane of many
small fruit growers.
Be sure to have u. full crop of
nursery catalogues. Write for 'em.
Keep an eye on the strawberry bed.
If winds blow the mulch off in spots,
jeplace it at once.
Be prepared to adopt the valuable
practical advice which is given so free
ly by neighbors and practical fruit
growers.—Farm Journal.
Heart of the Apple Tree.
It is quite a popular impression that
the heart of the apple tree is essential
to its well-being. Yet it is known that
the heart is but dead wood and plays
little part in the life or usefulness of
the tree. It helps to keep the tree
upright and gives strength t jit after
the wood that composes the heart has
ceased to perform cellular work. The
strength given by the heart is valua
ble when great windstorms sweep
over the orchard; for without the
hard wood In the center of me tree,
it would bend and break. It is often
noticed that hearts of apple trees rot
out, and the trees goon bearing as
if nothing had happened.
Fruit Tree Whitewash.
T.ast spring 1 made a whitewash for
apple trees with water in which to
bacco stems and refuse tobacco had
been boiled, using the usual amount
of lime required to make a good thick
coat 011 the trees when applied. The
effect was beyond my expectation. It
made the bark look sleek and healthy,
even on trees that had considerable
moss on them, also the insects were
destroyed on most of the trees. To
spray an orchard thoroughly in early
winter and again in the spring with
the above whitewash will, says Farm
and Home, at least hold many insects
!n check.
