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.

The range is excellent and thousands of cattle, horse and sheep are to be seen grazing any whereon tins rich pasturcngc and butter,beef, mutton and is veal noyer Oaten than that raised on the Prairie. Milk and bulter in abundance, and bees do remarkable well, where they have so many hiossems]to sin from,, and many an old farmer has honey by the barrell, so it ca.lt almost be snid that this is a land tiiat Hows with milk and "honey. , 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 ed i:i with a sulkey plow,' the plowman 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 Prairies are'rolling and just undulated enough to make fine farms, but are not Well watered, nearly all the drinking water is secured by cisterns iu the winter and springs to do through the summer and fall, there arc no "springs in sonic portions, but'out on the Colerado and head wit es Of the Brazos there arc n grail many nice clear springs and creeks and the water is very good. The stock raisers of a dry summer ov. fall have to drive thcr stock twenty, J,hirty, and event fifty miles to water, the creeks in the Prairie are deep, have lime stono bottoms aim when it rains the water soon gathers in those.crockH and run off, an(5 as-there, are no springs, tho holes and little, lakesjsopn.. dry up.
