That Paper Mil. Again.

EDTToR FREE PREss;--In looking over the
columns OF your last weeks issue. SEE
that writer signing himself "Citixon" asks
for definite information on the paper mill
matter, which We hope will be given by the
parties who have this matter in hand
In reading Citizens article one is led to
the conclusion that with our natural adyan-
tages aud tho profit claimed to be in the pa
per trade, that he, Citizen. is opposed to CIV
ing aid to any such enterprise; in this
think Citizen is mistaken, for in giving aid
10 manufacturing projects wc are certainly
benefitting ourselves ~ well AZ tho enter
prise; there certainly can be no mistake ON
that point
No person will deny but what the erection
of n paper mill here would be the means OF
bringing in great deal of tradoto our town.
WHY il Il that all towns in Texas give do
nations 10 railroads? Take Dallas and Fort
Worth for instance, each Of these places are
railroad centres and trade centres, stu each
place offers inducements TO oil railroads that
will come their way, and not only railroads
but also 10 other enterprises.
Take the case OF tho little town OF Honey
Grove, in North Texas, on the line of the
Trans Continental Railroad. This town Of
fers honus of $4,000 TO the Gulf, Colo
RADIO & Santa Fe to come TO them. Now
will any man say that II is a mistake on the
part of Honey Grove, will they not make
il paw them? Most certainly they will
Again, Citizen says If some practical pa
per man will come TO San Marcos and
demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that
~ per cent. per annum can be made on the
investment. there can be found home capt.
tai to build the works.
This shows that Citizen has faith in tho
moneyed men of our town, but If he is so
sanguine and sure that capital can be raised
at home for this purpose, why is 1t that
said capital has not taken hold of the mat
ter before this? The people Of San Marcos
know our natural advantages, for 1t is tho
first thing q stranger hears when entering
our town, and the last when leaving.
Paper making is not the only thing that
could be done in San Marcos. There are
many other things equally as profitable to
make, and some of which would be bound
to follow the paper mill enterprise.
In conclusion let me say, let us do as all
live towns do, viz: Show capital what we
have and what we will do, and then the
capital will come, and not do rs Citizen
asks them to do--to come and show US.
Yours truly,
GAN MApcos

HOW TO MAKE HENS LAY.

How | make fowls lay. Take
eight quarts of water and two tea
spoonfuls of red pepper, and put in
a kettle; when the water boils stir
in enough bran and corn meal to
thicken it, and take some orse-rad-
ish, chop it up fine, and put in with
the root and let it boil an hour We
hear a good deal of complaint from
other people about not getting eggs,
so ask them to try this and feed
once a day; about one handful of
this feed to one hen, and they will
get plenty of eggs. Charcoal is
good for poultry, SO is corn burned
or charred on the ear, SO as to keep
its shape, is excellent. 1t must be
mixed up in soft feed, and to get a
yellow yolk / will tell you, young
and old breeders, take red beets,
cook them for your fowls and feed
them, and in two days you can
can see the change; the yolk will be
as yellow as gold. One of the
most important things in feeding
poultry, yet too often neglected, is a
supply of good, pure drinking wa
ter, and a fowl drinks every ten or
fifteen minutes, especially in hot
weather. Impure water is one of
the worst sources of disease. Chol-
era, for instance, is in all prob
ability often due to the drinking of
water that is not pure. Snow wa
ter will reduce flesh as rapidly as a
sharp attack of diarrhea. The best
thing is to have a stream of running
water. A few rusty nails in water
is good, or a few drops of the tine
ture of iron every other day. The
vessels must be kept clean, and wa
ter should be warmed in winter for
fowls, as it is better, as it does not
chill them. This | have tried and
found it is far the best, and your
hens will do better. Fowls should
be kept dry in winter.

CORN FOR ENSILAGE.
For the Progressive Farmer.

For the Progressive Farmer.
Replying to an inquiry from a
correspondent, addressed to The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER, as to Dr. Benbow's $
method of cultivating corn for ensi-
lage, the DR.. answers as follows I
In reply as to kind of corn | use
for ensiIage, plan Of seeding and cul-
tivation, fear your intelligent far
mers will laugh at my rough man
ner. First: own a small country
mill where | take toll from all sc1ts
of corn, and it is out of that mixture
| get my seed-no science in that,
you see. . .s....
| plant in drills, about three and
half feet apart and try to get one
stalk in place, about eight inches
from each other-each stalk ought
upon good ground (and no other
kind of land is fit to plant corn on
for ensilage) to weigh three pounds,
when the shoot begins to silk, at
which time l think the best to cut,
but as some of such vast variety
of seed will be much further ad-
vanced than other stalks, part will
have well-matured roasting ears,
which suit hotel wonderfully well.
The corn is good at all times, from
the time it gets up to where we
would cut it for soiling, up to the
time Mr.. Garrett, of Halifax, uses
his, which is after the corn is hard
enough to save. 1t is good for ensi-
lage all along and will make food
the cow relishes
Most scientific men / have read
after tell me that there is more real
nourishment in any vegetable when
in bloom than at any other time,
the same thing 1 think applies to the
animal kingdom as we'll as the vege-
table, though you did not ask me
about that matter, and being SO full

ter answering your inquiry, for fear
may advise all good citizens and
especially those protesting to be
Christians to'back up their prayers
for the abolition of the liquor traffic
by their votes for party pledged
to the cause and against the two
old parties who have fostered the
traffic since their organization.
The corn when put into the silo
should be cut up into lengths to suit
the views of the owner, inch to as
long as he wants it. 1t can be kept
whole though that system is very
