INTENSIVE FANMIN6
MOST PNOFITAILE.
It Menu Science and System « Com-
pared with Ne«li«eece and Confu-
sion-Better Yields, Better Quality,
Better Profits.
The fact that intensive farming
is the most profitable farming is
proven by the fact that it is the
only method by which the man
who farms land valued at $50 to
$300 an acre can make money,
especially if the land belongs to
another. This is done in innum-
erable instances, as, for instance,
near the large cities and in the
denser populated sections of this
and other countries. If intensive
methods ol farming can be made
to pay on land of the value sug-
gested, they can of course be made
to pay on land proportionately
lower in price.
A campaign has l>een inaugu-
rated by The Galveston-Dallas
News for the purpose of impress-
ing upon the people of Texas and
the Southwest generally the im-
portance as well as the satisfac-
tion and profit that are the results
of intensive farming. For many
years The News preached in sea-
son and out of season the necessi-
ty for the diversification of crops.
The press of the State generally
took up the slogan, with the result
that the farmers of the State are
much better off than they other-
wise would have been.
Intensive farming necessarily
includes diversification, as The
News has stated, for the reason
that to intensify it is necessary to
grow as many crops on the same
land in a season as possible. This
of course necessitates the planting
ol diffeient crops; so that diversi-
cation is a part of the intensive
system of farming, and intensive
farming means simply the i>est
farming. Or, as The News de-
fines it, “Getting the largest
yields and greatest profits from a
given area of ground at the small-
est cost.”

A Mutker’s 0«»oti#u.
The Ottawa (Ills.) Free Trader
contains the following:
Recently, they have been inves-
tigating matters in the Texas state
penitentiary, and the inhuman
treatment accorded prisoners there
and a mother’s love had a strange
inning during the investigation
recently made by the legislative
committee inquiring into condi-
tions at the Calvert coal mine.
One of the prisoners, a youth of
tender years, showing both unus-
ual intelligence and refinement,
stated that he could not produce*
the daily quota of coal, seven tons,
and that in order to escape the
lash his mother had sent him
money which enabled him to buy
some of the excess output of the
stronger prisoners. Another pris-
oner stated that he had done the
same thing, but was unwilling to
state who gent him the money.
There is, perhaps, nothing in
the history of penology that shows
greater depravity on the part of a
goverment than is indicated here.
According to the methods em-
ployed, the boy would have l>een
lashed by the guards, lashing be-
ing the punishment for lazy con-
victs, and such the individual in
question would have been con-
sidered.

The following is taken from the
Geary, (Okla.) Bulletin:
Mr. T. J. Fox, a prominent
young business man of Coving-
ton, Okla., was married Tuesday
evening, at 6 o’clock, to Miss Alta
Mercer, the charming (laughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Mercer of
this city, by the Rev. Father
Shaffer of Union City. The cere
mony was jierformed at the faini-
ily residence in the presence of «
few close friends and relatives
John Fox, of Denison, Texas, a
brother of the groom, was best
man, and Miss Marguerite Wolge-
hugen, of this city, was brides-
maid.
The groom is a young man of
sterling qualities and is held in
high esteem by everyone here
who made his acquaintance while
lie clerked in the dry goods house
of J. J. Cuff. A few months since
he resigned his position here and
started in business at Covington
where he is making a great suc-
cess of his venture.
The bride has grown up in this
community and, has the respect
and confidence /of all who know
her. She is a clever little woman

A great many town people, with
a hankering after rural life, la;
come jxissvssed with a belief that
given a small spmee and a few
hens they can enter at once ut>on
the enjoyment of an assured and
steady income. They seem to ex-
j>eet that while they are lying alas!
in the morning, faithful biddy wil
jump from the roost, dig herself u
worm or two, and then go alx>ut
the day’s business of laying eggs.
Homebody has told them that a
hen lavs one egg daily, and they
figure it out that if one hen lay
365 eggs in a year, fifty hens will
lay 18,250 eggs in a like period,
and thus the avenue to comtort
and affluence is brought into plain
sight. By and by these enthusi-
asts learn that a hen takes her
own time in shedding her feath-
ers, and that when she is engaged
in that, and tiie business of grow-
ing new ones, she goes out of the
egg business for a matter of over
three months, to say nothing of
her frequent lazy days in her egg-
laying period.—Ex.

ecting the weal or woe of Denison

prominent jmrt. He was not only

statewide reputation. He held
many important offices which
came to him without his seeking.
He was a man of splendid intellect
and philosophic mind, and as a
legal adviser lie had few if any
BUjieriors at the bar of North
Texas. Every meml»er of the
bar respected, admired and loved
him ; resjiected him for his integ- j
lty, admired him for his ability]
and wisdom, and loved him lie-
cause he was a man full of the
milk of human kindness.
Col. Foster leaves a widow and
the following children : Mrs. R.
8. Yancey of Dallas, Mrs. \V. S. j
Faires of Denison, Mrs. Kennedy
Rodgers of Chicago, R. C. Foster,!
Jr. of Denison.

County, ip 1834, and was gradu-
ated in )aw from Cumberland '
University at Lebanon,Tenn. He'

a member of the Kansas Constitu-
tional convention in lfltiO, and
served three terms in the Kansas
Legislature in the lower house!
and one term in the senate.
In 1876 he moved to Denison
as attorney for the Missouri, Kan-
sas and Texas railway. He en-
tered a law partnership with Judge
A. E. Wilkinson, now of Austin.
He was twice u menilxr of the
Texas legislature from 187K-82.
