grain is no novelty and was cul-

1596' It was introduced into
this country long before the ar-
rival of the Mennohities who
have been credited with being
the first to plant it. The grain
is constantly coming up before
the public under new names
such as Egyptian corn ivory

that it is easier of cultivation
than othtr grains iutsavs it is

ease with which it can be cook-

green corn and the plant which
sometimes attains a height of
seven leet is covered with a

Mr. Chambers oneofthepro-
prietors of the Austin flour mills.
has been in town this week.
Mr. C. is a man of enlarged
views and has the true spirit of
progress. He says that at his
mills they can make a. high or-
der of flour from the .Nicaragua
wheat This wheat- is rust
proof and can be-raised all ove
iexas in the Jowland and up?
land forests as well as on our
prairies. They will buy all that
may be raised; hence this here-
tofore almost profitless species
of grain will become a fortune
to Texas.

A correspondent of the Kan-

hedges. The spring is the prop-
er time to put hedge down but
not the -proper time to trim it.

I have a friend who has been
in the hedge business for over
eighteen years. He fells me

Plow the hedge-row in the fall
then in the spring. Before set-
ting rcplow it thoroughly. Set
the plants six inches apart be-
ing careful to obtain good hedge
plants and freshly dug. Trim
them well for three seasons and
during spring of" the fourth sea- j

the vast amount of injury that

generation those who are to
