TEXAS HOGS.

Indications that Speaks Well for the Future
OF the State.
1t is no uncommon thing now-a-d days
to hear stockmen asking where good
hogs for breeding purposes can be had,
and the favorite breeds sought after are
Berkshires, Poland China and Jersey
Reds. A few years ago there were but
few people, comparatively, in Texas,
who took an interest in the hog business,
the popular belief being that it was not
profitable TO raise them. but now there is
q widespread desire among Texas farmers
and stockmen to make their own bacon,
quit paying tribute to Kansas City and
Chicago smoke houses, and they are GO
ing to do it.
Stockmen claim that hogs can be fat
tened for almost nothing in Texas by
letting them follow after corn fed cattle,
the waste from the cattle being suflicisake
for that purpose. In putting hogS@n
with corn fed cattle it should be looked
TO that too many hogs were not put in.
As a rule that should be followed there
should not be allowed more than hog
and a quarter to each head of cattle.
Some claim that hog and a half is not
100 great, but il is the observation of
those who have tried it that in the latter
allotment the hogs do not do so we'll, it
requiring considerable grain feeding out
side of what they get from the cattle to
put them in good shape.
well known stockman, talking on
the hog subject to q GAZETTE reporter
yesterday, stated that he believed tbs
number of hogs in Texas by next winter
would be more than double what were.

and l am convinced that more credit is
due the Fort Worth GAZETTE for this
than anything else. Other papers have
in the past advocated, bt different times,
hog raising and bacon nakiug in Texas,
but they did not stick to the subject long
enough. THE GAZETTE took it up at th&

The result of the experiment in feeding
swine at the Michigan experiment sta
ton goes TO show that the greater profit
is in early maturity. Feeding hogs
through nearly seven months will be
found quite too costly for the average
farmer. Nothing of the swine kind, ex-
oept breeding stock. should be per-
mitted to liye longer than twelve
months. So, too, with cattle-thirty
months TO three years should be the
limit.

MARSHALL, Ten, June 29.-Further
information regarding the shooting be-
tween George Munden and his wife 8
nephew, Sam Burnett, in this city yes
terday is to the effect that the difficulty
was brought on by Munden refusing to
allow Burnett to enter his (Munden 's)
house Sunday and get something for
Munden's married daughter who lives
about two blocks from her father. An
eye witness by the name of Weloh claims
that Munden walked across the street to
where Burnett and two others were
standing talking; thai he (Munden) had
his head down until within a few feet of
them when he stopped, placed his hand
in his bosom, drew his gun nd said:
care you ready, if not, get
ready quick and fired two shots be-
fore Burnett drew his gun. Burnett's
gun snapped ice before it would go
off at ALL He was struck with one So
caliber ball just below the stomach. The
ball ranged around and downward. 1t
is now thought he will get well. Mum
denis wound is from 41-caliber ball
that entered his left side. ran around a
rib and was extracted from the back.
Neither of them will die. Munden is in
Jail. Burnett it is thought shot three
times and his antagonist twice. Burnett
will not make any statement at all.
Munden will say nothing except that
Burnett fired the shot that struck him
before he (Mundeu) could draw his
weapOn.

fat they may get on the grass, there will
still be room for profitable feeding OH

should begin now to arrange for the stop

he goes into the hands of the slaughterer.

Tebs&Gv.

The amount OF tobacco annually
consumed in tho United States is
estimated by an apparently scompe-
tent authority at 310,000,0 900 pounds.
Seventy million pounds are utilized
in the production of domestic cigars;
222,O00,O00 pounds of chewing and
smoking tobacco are consumed;
100000 pounds are used in the
manufacture of snuff; 100000
pounds arc required i'll the produc-
ton of cigarettes; and 100000
pounds of cigars arc imported. This
would make an average annual con
sumption Of five pounds for every
person in the country. But as not
more than onc-ffth of our popula-
ton use tobacco, it follows that those
who do, consume, on an average,
twenty-five pounds each per annum.
Opinions differ as to whether this
article should be designated luxury
or a necessity. In speaking of the
cost of the tobacco habit, an exchange
says:
If the tobacco users Of the United
States would abstain for a period of
two years from the chewing, smok-
ing, and snui'f-taking habit, and place
the money they would spend for to-
bacco in that period in common
fund, there would be enough money
in the fund to almost wipe out the
entire national debt, and five years
abstaining would give the head of
each family in the United States
enough money to invest in an eighty
acre homestead farm in the far West
crn States and Territories; or it
would give us a navy of fifty first
class war vessels, fully equipped, and
create Il fund that would man and
maintain them and the Navy Depart.
mcnt for Il period of ut least twenty
five years. 1t can thus be seen what
is the magnitude of the tobacco trade
of the United States, and what Il
multitude of dcvotccs are willing to
pay annually for n habit which gives
them so much consolation and com
tort, II nothing clsc.-Ihe Price
