There are 100000 of people in Texas
Allowing five persons to the family. there are
2Oo,OO families in the State. 1t is a fair est;
mate to say there is an average of one dog &c
each family, and there are in Texas 200, OOl
dogs. Now 1t Will take as much to feed dog
one year as will feed and tatten two hogs.
which, at the end of the year, Will weigh
each 200 pounds; and what is fed to all the
dogs III the State, in the course of a wear.
would produce S00O0,O00 pounds OF pork,
which, at SIX cents per pound would be
worth ST, 100000
ms suD Is more than three times the
amount paid by the State for school purposes
each year, and more than Texas, Louisiana
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee,
Arkansas and Missouri, all put together. pay
for the support OF the gospel.
1t is safe to say. that one out of every four
OF these Texas dogs, will in the course of the
year, each, destroy one sheep, making grand
aggregate of $4,000 sheep destroyed. Now the
whole value OF each sheep including the
wool, mutton and natural increase for one
year, Is worth at least six dollars each, making
an additional cost to be added to
the dog list, of $500 600, and the eggs and
chickens destroyed by them will amount to
SlOO,0OO which added to the 81 500. 600
makes grand total of s., 200 OCO, as the cost
OF feeding the dogs of Texas for one wear
This amount would have paid the Interna

State about one million dollars which orr
wise Legislature spent, at eight dollars per
day, IN katy-did and Katy.didn't dis

amount necessary to pay the Governors

sui have been money enough left to have

twice the amount for both frontier defen %

propllated by the Fourteenth Legislatures |
and still there would have been enough left
to pay the whisky bills, as large as thew are
of all our legislators, and let us have no
more law-makng for the next ten years, and
