every paper in Texas has taken up the cry, and
py constant hNmmering away at tho subject
nave aroused the stockmen and farmers to the
importance OF raising hogs in order that bacon
shipped from Kansas City. st. Louis aud Chi
cago. 1t did not take long to convince the
people OF the great benefits TO be derived by
adopting the course suggested by The GAZETTE
and the other papers in the state and already
there are signs OF what is being done all over
the state. AZ the time the papers first took up
TINS matter there were not enough hogs in Texas
TO make bacon for ne-tenth of the population
and even DOW there are not enough for
one'htth OF the people, but the leaven is work
ing and the time is near at hand when this state
VIII have hogs to supply the home demand and
to ship to other states.
AS result OF the good work that has been
done two immense packing houses are now be-
ing built in the state, one in Fort Worth that
will have capacity for handling 1900 hogs per
day and another large one at Dallas. These two
Institutions will want hogs this year and will no
doubt buy all that offered them. A new
market will be-indeed has already been-cre-
ated that will not only keep Texas money in
Texas, but will bring wealth from other states
The Farm and Ranch, one OF the leading REri-
cultural and stock papers in the state, speaking
on this important subject, has the following TO
say:
fare the farmers in Texas bearing in mind
the present and prospective attitude of the hog
quest onr 1t is to be presumed that they are
not unmindful of thing closely connected
with their temporal prosperity. 1t may not,
however, be out of place to remind them that
future which will exceed the probable supply.
This alone will insure ready market a. fair
prices for all that be raised. There are n
number OF good and sufficient reasons for the
belief that Texas is destined soon to become a
large producer of hogs. The climate Is admir-
ably adapted TO the healthy growth and fecuIl-
dity of the gentle beast; soil and climate con-
spire to produce suitable food for hogs at small
cost. and in great quantity There is no other
thing necessary but acumen to see all these
things and the industry to do them. Already
intelligent breeders are establishing themselves
in business in different parts of the state, and
are eparing to meet all demands for breeding
stock. There Is question to the profits OF
hog raising in Texas; and il be prosecuted
with less outlay than any other branch OF stock
farming. The hog raiser does not have to feed
and care for his stock two three years before
it is ready for market. but pigs dropped in Feb
ruary may be in the pork barrel, and their value
II the farmers pocket before Christmas.
The extensive packeries now in course Of cree
ton will insure demand for all surplus. and
others will be built as the supply of raw mate
rial increases. Those farmers who go system
atically to work to produce hogs, and do it
soon, viii be that much ahead of those who
wait wee. -

JAILED IN DEFAULT.
Mrs. Taylor, for Attempt to Murder Her Hus-
band Near Quanah, Has an Examining
Trial-Tny lor's Condition.


Correspondence OF the GaZeNle.
4uAEAH, TEX, Sept. 6.-Mrs. ]. Fl. Taylor,
who was arrested by Sheriff Gibson last Monday
evening at her lhome, one and one-hah miles
from Quanah, on a charge of completely in the
attempted murder Of her husband while he was
asleep in bed on Thursday night of last week,
the weapon used being an AK with which the
victim was horribly cut in the face, Twas brought
before Justice Duncan, sitting as an examining
court in this city last evening.
Throughout the examination Mrs. Taylor was
CIcee IIngly frank and outspoken, and con-
iessed to having used the weapon uTon her hus-
hand, but insisted that she struck him with the
back Of the Ak after he had been chopped in the
.sce with the weapon by his own daughter,
gIr between fourteen and fifteen years of age.
This charge the girl vehemently denied, but cor
rUborated Mrs. Taylor's statement OF harsh
treatment of the family by Taylor, and hence
the conspiracy against him and its dreadful re-
suits The examination revealed a horrible
condition OF domestic affairs within the Taylor
family, too disgusting to be reported IN detail
and almost beyond belief.
In default of 5000 bail Mrs. Taylor was re-
mauded to Jail, and the charges of Mrs. Taylor
against the girl will be examined by Justice
Duncan next Monday. All of the other parties
arrested in connection with the case have been
released but The authorities still diligently
in pursuit Of information.
During the past three days Mr.. Taylor's con-
ditiou has rapidly improved, and the physicians
are now quite hopeful Of his recovery.

Believe no cheap and stupid false
hood that will be published by other

with the same old show that you have
seen so much that it has become an eye
sore. The only big bran-new show COM
ing to Fort Worth Wednesday, Septem-

not its equal. II costs very little-fftY
cents per bottle-and who would be with

First Texas Road to Tap the Mex
lean Pacific.
ST. MAHY's, TEX, Sept. 2, 1890.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
A letter received here under date of
August 1 from La Logia on Topolobam-
DO bay, written By lady who formerly
resided here, and who went to that
section some five years since, contains
the following, which may be of interest
to some of your readers, and especially
those interested in the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande road:
''Mr. Owens has been granted new conces,
sion for the Topolobampo and Texas railway
which embraces a system Of railroads, tele,
graph and telephone lines about 1900 miles longr
which will be aided by . subsidy of 81, 800 Pc
mile in bonds bearing per cent interestr
Probably Mexico has never granted 10 any othe
man what has in this instance been given to Mr.
of colonists to sinaloa. he then goes to New
York to meet the managing directors OF an En-
glish syndicate which has contracted with MIN
to build the railroad from Topolobampo TO the
Texas frontier"
The above, which may be regarded as
reliable, indicates that the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande may be the first Texas
road to tap the Mexican Pacific shore.
You are at liberty TO use the above ex-
tract any way you see proper.

There is No Reason Why There is Not Money

to be Made in Cattle.
Notwithstanding the fact that at times the
beef cattle industry has blue outlook there is
no good reason why there should be stampede
by every body to get out of it. 1t is stampedes
that overstocks the markets and sends prices
down to bedrock. Many have sold cattle when
they should h ave kept them at home, and have
got such poor prices that others would think the
market !. going to get worse all the time, and
they too would rush their cattle on a sinking
market, helping force prices still lower. This
sort OF thing has been going for some time,
and the result is that cattle have been decreas-
ing, the number of cattle per capita being less
than it has been for years. In view of this fact
it is evident that the prices of beef cattle cannot
be kept down much longer, and now is the time
for stockmen to freeze to their herds. The
sources of free range in Texas and in the West
ern territories have been weakening for several
years, the low prices mentioned being
the cause of it. Not only have range cattle de-
creased, but the aggregate number Of cattle
held by farmers though out the country have not
increased to any extent. The following table
viii show the number of mich cows oxen and
other cattle in the country during the years in
dictated, in the hands OF farmers:

The High Price of Corn Should Not Deter
Farmers from FattenIng Hogs


The National Stockman takes 4 sensible view
CIthe future of the hog market and argues that
Il corn be high the fat hog will have value added
TO him. The StoCkman says:
If there is any class of farmers in the coun-
Try who should quietly keep on in the even tenor
of their way without making any material
change in their business, 1t is those who pre-
pare each year to place on the market small
number OF well iattened hogs. 1t has seemed to
some extent likely at different times in the last
few years that hogs were about to take a great
eight or ten years would be changed into a
periOd OF loss in the business. This, though,
does not longer seem probable. The present sea-
son s very heavy marketing of hogs has not been
followed by such a decline rs would have been
expected had the total Of the seasons marketing
been foreseen. The conditions surrounding
the hog trade are materially better in several
particulars than they have been tor some time.
While prices for fat hogs are not at this time
Just what il is desirable they should be. never
Iheless they materially better, relatively,
than those for cattle; and We see no reason for
anticipating that they will be any worse for
some time TO come than they are at present. If
the corn crop should turn out seems
probable-qulle short in many parts OF the
enhanced in value, with the probable conse-
quenCe OF adding greatly TO the expense of
making pork But this need not deter pork
ralserS from going on as usual. If prices of corn
are greatly changed there must be a CORES pond
ing change in hogs. II corn must be added for
ripening stock il will not be bought for that
purpose unless prices can be obtained which
atoCk-raiser is in no small degree promising at
this time, and by no means the least pleasing
outlook is for those who will we'll manage the

prey to the flames. The Byzantine church, in
