(o the Rio G?-aud on tho West,.- and thp
Gulf of-Mixipo on the South, and lias-nn
area of 175,000,000 acres. East Texas is,
known- -aafi;th5 '.timbered, porCion hi* this'
State, and is the best watered.^ The SbutH
western, middle, mid ]^?rth^'wTes^crn por
tion of the State is Prairie, an?^onty lias
small streaks pfxtintber bordering along
the creeks and rivers, and is not so wall
watered as the timbered laiid.. It will be
re?dilV" understood that' where a state
includes so ^nuch--territory, tjint there
would bo .every varioty of .goih.wbioh.13
true! of .Texas',, but' I will* veuturo thb
assertion that (there is less poor laiid in
Texas than any'other state in proportion
to its size: The soil in Eastern Texas is
a soft yellow laons, of a sandy natura
with a clay foundation from 1 to 3 feet
beiionth the sUrfnee, easily brought into
cultivation and very,productive, especi
ally adapted to the growing ,of cottop,
tjorn, wheat, oats, rhye, sweet-potatoes,
and all garded vegetables of every kind.
The average in seed cotton per ac re is
fVoriV iO?O'toi'io?p lbs.; and right here 1
will say that such a thing an using ina
nuro ,is jfloycr-thought .of ,here. /Jpe
ifveruge production of corn is from 15 to
30 bushels, wheat 15 bushels, and: I never
linve seeu any country equal,;tliis
swect-pdfatoes. All kinds of fruits do
remarkably well,especially peaches whieh
gr?w and bear abundantly if only planted
on open grotin 1.
The country abounds in excellent
sprinps ofclair, cold, healthful, free-stone
water, whieh bubbles up from almost
every hill .side, ornS good good water ran
be obtained any5 where by digging wells
Only twenty lo forty feet dei p.
The growth that rovers the Eastern or
timbered portion of the State consists ot
hickory, oaks, pirc, dogwood, walnut,
gum, &c., and of the largest and finest
varieties : the nine is known by Carol in
ans a? short-leaf, but hero it is called
rellow pine, it Has as much heart as the
Jarolina pine and is soft smotli grain and
nakes cxcellet lumber for all building
nirposcs^ now Eastern Texas has an
abundance Of; pine," all over il, and the
countries bordering on southern Louis
iunna and Sabine river have an ubund
unco of the long leaf yellow pine; where
the long leaf pine grows the country is
evel ami not so thickly .settled yet, be
cause itr is ? not as fertile as where the
^OPnUy.is^rolliiig... -- ,
The rango for c^tlo \s not as, good its
t was ten years-agOj as tfie uountry settles
up and the forest is-trod .by stdek,? bushes
have"c?fne'up,ahd taken the pTn'co of the
gWSfli woods- that: were eiitirely.opemton
years ago so that tho. wild d/'er could be
?ccn any distance, only the prijniture
growth then standing, is now covered
wnth'a*fliie^'\fiiid-er'grow,th which has in
i'ured :tlr emtj.e.-.lange in the timbered
lortiop where .the country is now thickly
settled.
The face of the country is Un'derlnting
buppgh^to drain well, and'to for in rich
y allies and "bottom lands, but tho re is no
Bcotion or portion, ?' whatever its ' topo
graphy (hat. will riot produce woll, aud a

<t'?\\a Ffairje;portion is tho lioh.'st tract
in the State but has but little timber for
building purposes, but that is remedied
new by the Connection of thos3 lino rich
lands' with our timber, for building and
foncing purposes, by tho recent construc
tion of tho Southern Pacific aud Interna
tional Railroads, that run through our
best pine forest, into those wild, rich,and
beautiful Prairies. The Prairies arc of

Milk and bulter in abundance, and bees
do remarkable well, where they have so
many hiossems]to sin from,, and many an

it ca.lt almost be snid that this is a land

The Prairta is very productive, a better
wheat country does not exist any'where,
from 20 to 30 bushels is ah1 average per
acre, and it is cut with reapers drawu by
horses, thraslica"^y" machinery in the
fields, and when it is planted it is plough

rides on"ins""plow as comfortably as if
seated in a sulky ; lo stumps, roots rocks
or trees to interfere with the plow; from
30 to 75 bushels of corn to the aero are
made easier than 5 bushels in South Car
olina. A fact that the more (ho soil is
worked and the longer it is cultivated the
better it produces from year to year; the
fanners never think of making less than
a bale weighing ?00 lbs to the acre, oats,
rhj'c, barley and hungarian grass grow as
well as any where in the world. The
