The Cost of Feeding Fowls.

Many people use the argument,
for foregoing the keeping of poul-
try, that the fowls eat too much.
This reasoning is on a par with
that of the farmer who says his
business does not pay, while, at
the same time, himself and family
are comfortably provided for from
the income of that very non-paying
business. What reasonable men
ask for in these days are facts.
Now, we will record it here that
one bushel of corn, or its equal in
some other feed, will produce
nearly nine pounds of live poultry,
or ten pounds of eggs. To place
low market value on these
articles, we will say that poultry
will never bring less than twelve
cents per pound, which amounts
to one dollar and eight cents for
the corn in meat, while ten pounds
of eggs will bring at a low average
one dollar and seventy-fve cents,
Of course prices for both grain
and poultry products vary with
localities and in different years in
the same locality, but we are at
tempting an average estimate. We
have known fowls to bring twenty
cents live weight, and turkeys
25 cents, and we have also known
fowls to sell for three cents and
turkeys for four and half cents
live weight, but these are extremes.
just so corn has sold in some To-
calities and during some years at
eight cents a bushel and at other
times and places in this country
it has brought s1.0O per bushel
and upwards. But when and where
grain is high eggs and poultry
tiese are high, and "vice versa"
SO it is as broad as it is long.
The feed which brings the
greatest supply of eggs is the
most economical material with
which to supply the flock, with a
view to profit. Many breeders,
with these facts before them, will
persist in feeding corn, as it is
convenient to get and fowls like it
and they complain that their hens
do not lay as well as they ought.
You cannot expect a wooden mill
to turn out goods by the simple
supplying of wool, although that
may be the staple article used in
the goods, and though corn is the
staple food for fowls in this coun-
try yet they will not do as well fed
wholly on corn as they will if
supplied with a reasonable variety,
which shall keep them busy, like
IN epicure going the rounds of the
of morning, to select the
best of everything that may suit
his fancy. Those clever hens in
The flock that will follow you all
about the premises are not lazy;
hey perform the part of active egg
iactories every day. Poultry Farm.

NECESSARY RAILROAD MOVE.
AfENTS.

TINS GAaETrg's special from Albu-
querque contains important railroad news
which is in the direction OF predictions
made by this paper. A few weeks ago IL
was declared in these columns that the
81. Louis s San Francisco railway was
going to extend It's line from its present
terminus at Tulsa, on the Canadian river
In the Territory, to a connection at Albu-
querquc with the Atlantic s Pacific. The
Albuquerque dispatch published yester-
day stated that a contractor had given
out, on the authority Of the president of
the ST, Louis 6 San francisco, that work
will Immediately be resumed on the Red
Fork, Indian Territory, division OF the
Atlantic 6 Pacific, and that at least 200
miles are under contract TO be completed
this season.
Fort Worth has a keen interest IN this
news, for IL means much to her. Two
hundred miles added TO the st. Louis &

There are few men in Louisiana who
are employed in making sugar. The Nor.
rlson bill reduces the tariff on sugar
about 20 per cent. That is, 1t relieves
the consumers ofsugar from the payment
of 20 per cent. of the tax at present
imposed upon that article. The Louisiana
sugar.growers raise the customary cry,
and threaten ruin and havoc to the coun-
try II their profits are molested by law
which gives cheaper sugar to the coun-
try. They put themselves on one side, a
few thousand in number, and the con-
sumers on the other, some fifty or sixty
millions, and they say, You pay tribute

During the year 1885 there were inn
ported to this country 2,54s,2l0,53
pounds OF sugar, generally of cheap
grade, such as is used among the common
people. They paid for this sugar an en-.
hanced price of over $2O,OO0,oOO on ac-
count of the tax levied upon II for the
protection of the Louisiana sugar-pro-

ported Is evidence that the productive

A state Paper, SO to Speak.

The Dallas Morning News couldn't
stand out any longer on the state fair
projecs; the pressure was too great from
the business men OF Dallas for 1t to treat
a home enterprise with silent contempt.
1t begins this morning in the shape of a
letter as the entering wedge, so to speak,
TO its editorial columns, but the editorial
correspondence either willfully or I'M
knowingly committed great blunder.
The movement has been on foot for much
more than three weeks, and publicity was
given it in the papers long before that
time. 1t would be very ungracious
step for the Dallas Morning News to at.
tempt at this late hour to take up home
enterprise long ago foated as something
new. The boot-blacks on the streets
will laugh at the attempted imposition on
the peoples information. The Dallas
Morning News cannot, though it would
like ever so much TO, refrain from favora-
Bile comment ON an enterprise that has
the backing of the foremost men of Dal-
las. VIII 1t not be straightforward

the Panhandle. when that road gets in
the Panhandle, the Atcbisop, Topeka &
Santa re will be there TO divide with It
the cattle traffic. Even II the Atchison
road had not already had in view an cx-
tension TO the Panhandle, this move OF
the st. Louis road would compel 1t to
take such step. Now IL cannot afford
not to build there To neglect such an
opportunity would build up It's rival at its
expense, by giving to that rival the car
rying trade Of thousands OF cattle from
the Panhandle to market. In self-de-
fcuse It must build; and there win soon
be Witnessed race between these roads
to reach the coveted territory first
With these roads In the Panhandle, or
either OF them, the Fort Worth & Denver
must at once go on to connection with
them. While II remains at Harold the
cattle north OF that point viii be driven
to the stock-pens Of the Kansas City or
the St. Louis road Whore formerly
thousands OF beeves were shipped over
the Fort Worth & Denver 70 Fort Worth,
and there transferred TO the Missouri
Pacific in order to reach the Northern
markets, they would, upon the compile
zion Of these roads to an accessible point,
be driven to that point and there shipped.
BY building TO a connection with these
roads, the Fort Worth & Denver not only
can hold its trade, but can largely add to
1t; for thousand, of beeyes from South |
Texas going to the Kansas City or Chi |
cago market will come TO this city over |
the Southern roads and be transferred to |
the Fort Worth & Denver, by which they |
can make connection with the Northern |
roads. Thousands of Southern Texas |
cattle that go to Kansas City or Chicago
by the Missouri Pacific will then 20 by
the Fort Worth & Denver and the Atchl-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe.
Thus it Is that the extension of rail-
road from Tulsa in the Indian Territory
to the Panhandle will have so important
effect upon the fortunes of Fort Worth.
Its indirect result will be to give us two
more rail outlets to the Northern mar
kets, to add several hundred miles to our
railway connections, and to extend our
trade over an immense terri.
.ory that we cannot now reach.

Special to the Gazette.
ABILENE, TEX, Feb. l9.-Three trains
OF eXcursionists passed through Abilene
TINS morning on their way to FL Paso to
attend the sale of property at that
place.
It's rumored that Abilene is soon to
nave stock-farm, as two gentlemen OF
waco, President Moran of the company
and Capt. Elgln,wil both be in Abilene in
a lew days to look out suitable location
for their farm. The stock to be put on
Inc iarm by this company includes some
OF the finest draft horses and fastest
trotters and racers IN the state, which are
valued at $4,000, including the entire
STOCK. II Abilene has got any "git up
ana GIT about her, now is the time for
her TO show IT, for her reputation as the
most enterprising little city in the West
cannot and must not be lost by failing to
secure the stock-farm so favorably
spoken OF for this place, so ''trot out
do.
A very large crowd attended the races
yesterday to see the race between the
rant hlly, at this place, Brown Kate,
N0AShhuh WY anu nluB6lB May
from Baird, which was won by the Paint
hlly In quarter-mlle dash. A great
deal OF dissatisfaction was expressed by
the parties in charge OF Maggie May, as
there was misunderstanding about the
signal to start, which gave the Paint a
large advantage and Maggie May was not
allowed to run. Several hundred dollars
changed hands, and the race is TO be
made up for Saturday, between Maggie
May and the Paint, for $500 aside.
The case against Lon Morris, men
toned in The GAZETTE few days since,
was dismissed by the judge yesterday, as
there was no evidence to show the slight
est intention of theft, which he was
charged with, and he now enjoys the
