CHOICE TEXAS LANDS 
-- 
Rare Chance for Settlers. 
The Railroad System of Texas having developed so 
as to briDg within easy access of good interior and 
seaboard markets the lands granted to the 
HOUSTON &TEXAS CENT! RY.CO. 
It has been determined to offer to settlers the 
Renowned Agricult’l Lands 
Located along the line of the Fort Worth & Denver 
City R. R., beginning with Wilbarger 
County, comprising 
200,000 ACRES 
I n farms of 160 acreR and upward. These lands were 
located by the Company among the earliest, with 
especial care as to soil, timber and water. They art- 
adapted to the growth of cotton, corn, oats, wheat, 
barley, rye, vegetables, orchards and gardens and 
the various domestic grasses. 
.Situated in the elevated and healthy region known 
as the Southern Panhandle of Texas, they possess a 
genial climate, favorable to man and beast, where 
outdoor work can bo carried on the year round, am 
are in marked contrast with regions of early and Jute 
frosts or of destructive “blizzards.” 
Population is fast pouring in. and local government 
is already established, with schools, churches, &c. 
Terms ofSai.e: One-fifth cash, balance in four equal 
yearly payments, with interest on deferred payments. 
For further information as to these and lands in 
adjacent counties, apply to 
J. S. NAPIER, Vernon, Texas, 
(who is prepared to show to purchasers); or to 
r. C. GIBBS, Land Ag’t, Houston, Tex.

STOCKBRIDGE POTATO MANURE USED. 
The special feature in the new catalogue of the Stockbridge Special Complete Manures i s 
the great prize of $1,100 in gold offered for the largest yield of potatoes on one measured acre. 
This prize is offered in connection with the American Agriculturi st prize of $500 for the largest 
yield of potatoes, so that if the prize crop is grown on the Stockbridge Potato Manure, the 
grower will receive $1,100 in gold coin. Tt is is the largest prize ever offered for this or any 
other crop. The Bowker Company also offer $600 in prizt s of $225, $175, $125 and $75 for the 
second, third, fourth and fifth largest crops grown on the Stockbridge Potato Manure. What 
may be expected from this fertilizer is well shown in a trial made at the Rural New-Yorker 
grounds last year. A measured half-acre of run-out soil was planted with poor specimens of 
the Pride of the Valley potato, manured with 850 pounds per acre of Stockbridge Potato Fertil¬ 
izer. According to the Rural's report, the measured balf-acre yielded 200 bushels, or at the rate 
of 400 bushels per acre. It should be remembered chat this was a practical test on a half acre, 
and the result is therefore of great value. 
The catalogue is illustrated with numerous fine engravings of crops growu on these fertiliz¬ 
ers, and the quality of the matter on the gpueral subject of fertilizers may be inferred from the 
liberal quotations we have heretofore made from it .—From the New England Homestead, 
February 9, 1889.
