COUNTRY.
ITS POSITION ASD BOUNDARY. .
Occupying a central position in
the great State of Texas is the
"Abilene Country" known a few
years ago as the favorite hunting
grounds o the Comanche Indians
but whicn is now known far and
wide ior the healtlifulness of its
climate the productiveness of .its
soil and the energy and intelli-
gence of its people.
The far-famed valley 01 the City
of Mexico contains no richer land
than the Abilene Country open-
ing out for nearly a hundred and
fifty miles to our south and for an
equal distance to the north and
from forty to fifty to the cast and
to the west of the city of Abilene.
The lands are rich and the soil is
deep and "productive. It is from
this scope of country that the rich
lands of the Brazos and Colorado
in Southern Texas draw their fer-
tility from the annual rise of the
Brazos and Colorado rivers which
How through this district. But
unlike Southern Texas the Abi-
lene Country is absolutely free
of malaria. An empire of itself
might be founded and prosper on
this magnificent domain which is
much larger than many of the
States.
SOCIETY IX TIIE-mi.EXE CDUXTUY.
ItJias been but a 4ew years
since the wild Indians reigned su-
preme master of this entire conn
try. With the. first whistle from the
railroad engine 1 1 years ago. the
Indians departed lor more se
cluded hunting grounds. The cit-
izens of our country are intelli-
gent law-abiding liberal minded
and progressive. Schools and
chinches are well attended and
public improvements and enter-
prises receive hearty encourage-
ment. The benevolent societies
of every kind among them the
Masons the Odd Fellows Knights
of Pythias Knights of Honor
Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion etc. have larjjfe memberships
in all our towns and villages and
are in a nourishing condition.
We boast ol a community equal
to any in the v. odd in intelligence
integrity and all the virtues that
constitute the true man.
We observe with pleasure the
coming ol all good people to our
community and with true western
hospitality we extend to all such
a hearty welcome.
CLIMATE OF THE ABILENE COUNTRY.
The normal atmospheric pres-
sure for this section (about .1800
feet above sea-ievel) is equal to
the weight of about 28.12 inches
of mercury or a pressure of about
thirteen pounds to the square
inch. Southerly winds prevail
with an average velocity of about
nine miles per hour and such a
thing as a calm sgcldo'm occurs and
storms and cyclones are seldom
known in this section.
Our atmosphere is pure and
free from all the germs of disease
which infect the atmosphere of so
great a part of the United States
from the fact that in reaching this
section the breeze passes over no
bodies of stagnant and fermenting
water from which to gather the
poisons so readily absorbed but
passes over running streams of
pure fresh water from which its
moisture is obtained. Xo coun-
try not even the Pacific Slope
can boast of a better climate than
we have. The climate through-
out the year is delightful with
neither extreme of heat or cold.
The thermometer rarely indicates '

a temperature below twenty de-
grees above zero seldom above
100 degrees Fahrenheit;the evapor-
ation on account of the continu-
ous motion of the air in this alti
tude is so great that 100 degrees
is not as oppressive in this cli-
mate as 80 degrees of heat in oth-
er altitudes. The nights succeed-
ing the warmest days we have are
always cool and refreshing. Those
who have lived here longest are
most enthuilastic in their praises.
Here evajfeation performs the
part of f&'reat hygienic factor
in the Knination from the
system of Vsn things not needed
for nutrit A .and which tend in
any way tonear down the consti-
tution. Tls climate ie especially
suited to those affected with pul-
monary troubles diseases of the
kidneys etc. All organs of excre-
tion are rel? ved of a great deal of
work under this climate which
they have to" perform under near-
ly every other climate in North
America. Not only those in ill
health should seek so healthy a
section but those strong and
hearty should come and enjoy a
salubrious climate which relieves
that dull stupid feeling experi-
enced in so many parts of the Uni-
ted States and which gives both
mental and physical activity audi
energy to the human system.
Sunstrokes yellow fever and
malarial diseases are unknown.
Parties coming here with asthma
catarrh or pulmonary troubles are
soon permanently cured.
RAIXEALL.
As shown by the United States
Signal Service first at Ft. Concho
and afterwards at Abilene for a i
period of ten years averages 20.20
inches. The months average as
follows: January 1.02 inches:
February 1.07 inches; March 1.4C
inches: Apr. 2.10 inches; May 3.7-1
inches; June 2.70 inches; July
3.20 inches; August 3.10 inches ;
Sentember. 4.10 inches: October.
2.04 inches; November 1.12 inchi
es; December 2.0S inches. From
this report which is from the of-
ficial records it apppears that the
great rainfall is during the months
in which it is mostly needed by
the farmer. (See table elsewhere.)

The country Is for the Mil part a

ample timber for firewood and
fence posts. The soil and Jay of

chinery which is in use all over

acres or more.
The entire State tax is only
22 1-2 cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property and the Coun-
ty taxes of all kinds do not exceed
fifty cents on one hundred dollars
valuation. The titles to our lands
emanate direct from the State are
simple and easily understood. The
most of the land has passed into the
hands of private parties but ow-
ing to the fact that the titles
came originally from the State and
that our land laws are very simple
there is no difficulty in obtaining
perfect titles.
The public school lands are sold
to the actual settlers at $1 per
acre for lands away from perma-
nent water courses and at $2 per
acre for lands bordering on per-
manent water courses. The land
is sold on forty years time divid-
ed into forty equal payments to be
paid annually with live per cent
interest but a failure to meet any
of these payments does not forfeit
the right to the land provided the
yearly interest is paid and besides
the purchaser has the option of
paying the whole at any time.
EXEMPTIONS.
By the Constitution of Texas
the homestead of a family not in a
town or city is made to consist of
not more tlian two nunareu acres

more parcels with the improve-
ments thereon. The homestead in
a city town or village consists of
lot or lots not to exceed five
thousand dollars in value at the
time of designation without refer-
ence to the value of improvements
thereon; provided the same shall
be used for the purpose of a home
or as a place to exercise the call
ing or business of tnt head of a
family. The homestead is pro-
tected from forced sales for the
payment of all debts except for
purchase monej taxes due there-
on or for work and material used
in c o n s. t r u c 1 1 n g improvements
thereon ; and in respect to the
last the contract for work
and material must be with the

STOCK.
Cattle horses mules sheep

ago constituted the principal
wealth of our country. The mag-

with the rich nutritious grasses

kinds of forage crops can be raised
makes this one of the finest
4'far-
face mer-stock countries" on the
of the earth.
As fine horses and mules as the
blue grass regions of Kentucky
can produce are raised in the Abi-
lene Country. It is Nature's home
' for stock of every kind. Incident
; to farm stock raising is Dairy farm-
ing which has proven very lucra
tive in this section.

BUILDING MATERIAL. ETC.
Good clay for brick and ex-
cellent atone for buildingare found
everywhere. Besides lumber from
the pine regions of Eastern Texas
is brought into- the cduntry and
sold at current rates elsewhere.
Barbed wire is used for fencing
and cedar and mesquite trees are
in great abundance for posts.
PLANTING SEASON.
The mild winters generally ad
mit of corn planting in February
and March and cotton in April.
The most of our wheat is sown in
fall and harvested in May so that
flour from new wheat can be de-
livered in Northern or Eastern
cities fully six weeks in advance of
flour from the older wheat growing
States. Oats are sown for the
most part in January February
and March and harvested in early
June ; but winter oats sown in the
fall do well. Sorghum millet and
other forage crops are planted al-
most at pleasure of the farmer.
Field work can be done at all sea-
sons of the year and a loss of
thirty days from out-door occupa
tions on account of heat cold or
rain in any one year would be an
overestimate. During the cold
bleak winter months when nearly
all the farmers of the Northern
and Eastern States are busy m
the effort to keep cold out and
their stock from suffering by con-
stant attention and feeding out
corn hay and other fodder gath-
ered during the summer the far:
mer in winter here enjoys mild
pleasant weather and his flocks
and herds are in good condition
ieeuiiig on tne prairie requiring
only a little feed during the cold-
est spells which only. last four or
five da.vs at a time.
MAKKETS FOR FA KM PUODUCK. LIE
siuuh tic.
Food products such as corn
wheat and cereals of all kinds
bring better prices in the Abilene
Country at all times than are paid
in the Northern markets. Owing
to the great influx of immigration
as well as the great number of per-
sons engaged in the wool growing
and cattle raising to the west the
home demand for food products is
far above tin? supply. If there
should be a surplus the mining re-
gions of West Texas New Mexi-
co and Arizona will consume all
of it at good figures.
There is a home demand for
good mules horses ad cows rais
ed in the Abilene Country while
he wool beef cattle etc. are ship-
ped from the City of Abilene to
Northern and Eastern markets.
SOME ADVANTAGES TO THE FAKMKK.
The farmer in the Abilene Conn
try can plow nearly every month
in the year. lie has four months
time in which to sow spring wheat
barley oats and rye; four months
in which to plant cotton; three
mouths in which to plant corn.
The farmer can produce of the
