Hog Raising In Western Texas.

A citizen of this county, as we sup
pose. writes from Onion Greek to the
Lockhart Echo, as follows We COM
mend what he says to the considera-
ton Of our readers.-ED. FREE Press.
Texas has greater facilities tol rails
ing meat than any other State in the
Union. And still she buys yearly a
great amount of bacon shipped from
the North This is sending monty
from the State that can be prohtably
invested at home. True Texas ships
yearly a great amount OF beet but
this is no argument against raising her
own hog-meat and also some to sell.
1t may be said that outside the TIM
bered districts where there is plenty
mast, that we cannot compete with the
Northern States, we cannot produce
food for them as cheap, This is a
great mistake. Texas can produce
corn, potatoes and turnlps. equal 10
most any Of them. Besides she has
plant, viz: the Sugarcane, which they
have not, this plant is excellent hog
food, easy raised, will make two crops
year. Hogs will do fine upouit sew
en- or eight months in the year.
Far from confining hog raising to
the mast regions, | believe ere long
that the majority OF our meat VIII be
raised upon the prairie farms, in pens
and pastures where they can be tendcd
to properly, led and improved With the
best stock OF the country. Have
pasture hog proof, adjoining your Held,
plant Sugarcane next to it, convenient
to cut aud throw over to them. ln the
fall separate the hogs You WISH to fat
ten for market and home consumption,
feed them u corn. In fact the day is
not far distant when all kinds ol stock
will be kept and reared in pastures, hes
the portions that are devoted to agri-
culture
Since corn cannot conveniently be
transported to market, it will not pay
to plant a great amount OF it expressly
for the market, but you can raise 1t
proftably, you will convert it into pork
and bacon by procuring hogs and iced
ing it to them you can always sell it at
paying rates.
The farmers OF this county should
manage some way TO make grain raising
profitable, for cotton can no longer suo-
ceed in supplying all Of the wants Of
the farmers, as it used to do. when they
could get from fifteen to twenty cents
per pound for it.
We should pay special attention to
the improvement of our stock, fine
stock is comparatively cheap now, SO
now is the time to strike.
The man that has the foresight to
see these facts first. and the enterprise
to grasp its privileges first, will be the
one to profit by them.

TIE NATIONAL PARTY.
Address of the National Central Committee
to the People Issued December
Z IQIQ

The Central Executive Committee
of the National Party, recognizing no
east. no west, no north. no south. but
Il complete union. address you as the
people of one nation animated with
like hopes. desires, purposes and
proper ambition. and suffering
alike the dire effects of cause that
reaches all parts OF our common
country, depressing all productive in
dustries and paralyzing all legitimate
commerce and enterprise. Every
section of this our common country
would be alike beneiicially effected ny
the adoption and enforcement OF the
economic principles on which the
National Party is founded to establish
the only just rule Tor the government
OF Il civilized people. viz: That each
individual member of society shall
retain and enjoy the fruits of his own
toll unimpaired by unjust and unequal
class legislation. We earnestly and
fraternally call your attention to the
following facts:
First-The National party. rs n
factor in national politics. dates its
organization from the nomination ut
indianapolis. on the 18th of Nav.
1876. of that noblest of patriots ANA
philanthropists. Hon. Peter Cooper.
rs its candidate for the Presidency.
In November of that year. 1876, il
l,ollei for him $3.50 votes.
Second--The National party. con-
tinuing the process of organization.
IN two years increasing its votes To
| Isl. 900.
Third-This great increase in the
National vote is unprecedented in the
history OF political parties. hut it falls
far short of the real strength of the
principles advocated by the National
party, or of the hold they have
already taken upon the popular mind
and heart. We ID not include where.
rs In Georgia aud other States, there
was no National nomination. but the
contest was between Republican or

EXPl CS!ON OF PIT LSBURY'S ANCHOR
ELL /.

MINNEAPOLIs, Dec. 0.-At $40 last
night a fire al,rm was sounded from
box ii, occasioned by fire IN the
Anchor Touring mill, owned by G. n.
Pillsbury & Co.
The Anchor has eleven run OF stone.
and is one OF the best and most thor
ougnly equipped mills in the city.
The fire occurred III THIS way:
About s o clock Nels Munson, one OF
the millers, discovered that one OF
the Ell yators which conducts the
-four from the lower basement to the
middlings purifiers III the upper story
of the mill WAS clogged. lie took Il
lantern and proceeded to the base
ment for the purpose Of removing the
obstructi0n Arrived III the base
ment, he took the precautlon 10 place
his lantern some fifteen feet removed
from the elevator. where the difficulty
was, but placed it directly i'll front OF
the door opening into the elevator.
Removing the obstruction he started
the elevator once more, when u great
puff Of -four dust came ont OF the
open elevator door, reaching to the
lantern, when sWh,tf ana there WAS
at once an explosion, similar to the
great one last spring, only smaller
unaccompanied with its disastrous ef-
fects. Munson WAS badly burned
about the head. hands and face, but
not dangerously. lie Immediately
stopped the mill and he, together
with Yheo. Barthoff and w. W..
Snith, Immediately turned on the
water and trleG 10 pat the flames out
with the hose. 1t was no use, how
ever.
The danes ran up all the elevators
and then the entire interior Of the
mill was soon on fire. The alarm was
Immediately sounded and the entire
fire department of the city were ON
the ground With all speed, but with
all their efforts it WAS Impossible to
STAY the flames At ID . clock the
flames were at their hei3 and 1T was
thought very prob tble that the North
Star wooden mills and other surround
ing buildings were in danger, but at
this time it is hoped and expected
that the flames will be confined TO the
Anchor mill. The mill was erected by
Eastman, Gibson u Co. about SIX
wears apo, and sold to e. a. Plllsbury
& Co. four years ago, Tor @io,oUO,
though many improvements have
been made to The mill since, including
one additional run of stone, making
twelve in all.
To-day, according to Mr. Pillsbury 5
statement, the mill is worth fully
$75, 900. One hundred barrels OF flour
were in the mill ut the time OF the
fire, thirty OF which were saved.
There WAS also III store III the mill
about Is, 900 bushels of wheat, all ol
which is lost.
INSURANCE.
The mill WAS insured for S4l 900
and the stock of wheat and flour tol
$4,000.

views in regard TO the rumor
that u movement was on foo,

small amount of money to lock up a
million of gold. If. by doing this.

points, Il large profit would accrue to
brokers. The action of the clearing

be reversed. Many banks in the late

ING RdILWI VS..
From Glenco Register December 6. |


Mr.. Matt. Marsh. Of this town, has
laid upon our table Il letter from his
nephepw, Mr.. Henry tanners, who is
now in Minneapolis. Before leaving
Glencoe he had offered his wheat for
sale in this town. All he could get
offered was SO cents per bushel. He
took the same wheat to ChaSka, where
the testers made it weigh "A IL lbs,
grade No. 8, price offered, 40 cents
per bushel delivered in Chaska. Two
others in Chaska tested the same
wheat and made it weigh 54lbs., and
offered 81 cents delivered in Chaska,
or so cents on the cars in Glencoe.
lie then took the same wheat to
Minneapolis, had it tested by Mr..
Anderson, agent for the Millers' As
ISOLATION, who made it weigh 81 10
lbs, and offered him 50 cents per
bushel delivered on the cars in
Glencoe. II cents per bushel more
than our dealers will offer him.
Mr.. Marsh was in town Tuesday to
engage cars in which to ship the
wheat, but found them all engaged
for week ahead, and this is the
difficulty that the farmer always
meets with when he attempts to ship
his wheat on his own account. The
cars are always engaged Tor "a week
ahead.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
New York Sun.
There is an alarming growth of
pretty crimes, us well as larger ones
in this city. Not for many years--if.
indeed. ever--have there been made
public SO many swindling and con-
lidence operations, thefts by sneak
thieves, burglaries by masked men,
defalcations and receptions in bust
ness circles. The insurance men say
| that incendiarism is praetised to an
extent not before known. The
police tell of the increase of gaming
houses, in which clerks and persons
having moderate salaries may stake
n few dollars or cents. More lottery
tickets are sold, ana there is more
disposition to invest money in chance
speculations. Betting upon races
and upon contests in which strength,
skill or endurance turn the scale is
more common than in other years

whatever Congress Is going to do with

out delay. 1T would be better for the IN
tcrests OF the tohacco manufacturers that
Congress should sas Mt once that It will not
change the law than that business should be
paralyzed for months whilst that body is
endeayoring to learn its own mind in regard
to the matter. The tax ought unquestion-
ably to be reduced. 1t is Il burden upon
the tobacco trade the like of which IS not
borne by any northern industry or arti-
Gle OF commerce. It destroys much OF
the business which |, processes only
