1t must not be understood that
the News in clipping from ex-
changes vouches for the truth
of what they say, Far from
this, it often happens, that we
disagree with them widely and
especially so when editorial
opinions are expressed. Under
our general exchange head the
idea is to tell what our neigh
bors are talking about and that
is all.

Randall County Hogs and
Alfalfa.

The proprietor of the News,
has in times past, frequently
heard of good hogs and plenty
of them in the Plains country,
but he always had his doubts
about such stories until brought
face to face with the facts. They
are here and made too without
a grain of corn. Not, that corn
will not flourish here, for it does,
when planted right and given
proper attention, but because
other rations, more prolific,
answer every purpose and at a
less cost. The hog does ex-
tremely we'll here, not being
subject to many of the diseases
clinging to his tribe further east
and south. This is evidently a
tine country for hogs and the
wonder is, when the cost of
making pork per pound here is
considered, why more are not
engaged in the business. The
FIT. Worth Live Stock Reporter,
of last Friday, speaking of a
shipment of these no corn hogs
from Roswell, N: NJ. says:
alfalfa hogs topped the
market today. They were ship.
ped in from Roswell, N. NJ, by
Curtis Chisholm. There were
two loads, 1913 head, one load
averaging $50 and the other 1885,
both selling at Sc 05 to Armour.
This is the highest price paid
on the FIT. Worth market since
the 3rd of June. when sc. 10 was
paid for 254 pound hogs. The
market is quoted at 5 to 10c
lower than at that time. 1t is a
strong testimonial TO the quail.
ties of alfalfa as a hog feed,
that these hogs should have
sold at such price, topping
good cornfed hogs from Okla
bona.
They were about 10 months
old, raised on alfalfa and finish.
ed on kaffir corn. This is the
cheapest feed that can be put in
a hog, and, as is shown in this
case, the best.
The country about Roswell is
turning toward hog raising. 1t
is 10 the arid belt, and Indian
corn is not thought of as a crop.
Alfalfa, kaffir corn and milo
maize are the field crops. With
such feed hogs can be raised in
successful competition with the
great contrasting states.
Texas has millions of acres of
land that can produce big crops
of alfalfa, milo maize and kaffir
corn, and on this feed raise
enough hogs to keep the Fort
Worth packing houses running
to their full capacity every day
in the year. Our farmers are
losing money as long as they do
not adapt themselves to their
surroundings and furnish hogs |
for this market raised on the
cheap food that their lands will
produce.
Randall county can and does
produce all of these things-al-
falfa, kaffir corn and milo maize
in abundance, and at far less
cost, investments considered,
than does New Mexico. In New
Mexico alfalfa must be irrigated;
here it grows and produces well
without irrigation. In vicinity
If Canyon City are several al
falfa farms and thousands of
acres more could be put in with
n five miles of the town. AS
he News sees it the hog man
,ould not helm but do we'll here.

-Four Applications for Licenses.

Up to yesterday the commissioners
had received four applications for Ii
censes. They did not say how these
We're divided among the several classes.
The board has not decided on any limit
within which they will receive applica-
tions and will probably receive applica-
lions until the full number of licenses al
lowed by law in this town is granted. 1t
is thought that there will be ten or a
dozen applications. 1t was reported on
the street yesterday that both the Wind
ham and the Rockingham hotels are
pushing vigorously for both first ano
second class licenses. If their petitions
are granted four of the six available Ii
censes will be disposed of. The com
missioners have not yet decided wha
the fee for a first class license will be.

considerable guessing going on as to
what is to be done with the electric plant
which he purposes to establish at Drews-
vile. lie has recently b, en- purchasing
some farm land which he expects will
be Hooded when he gets dam in. 1t is
understood that he is going to put in
quite an extensive electrical power and
will furnish light and power to Alstead
and Walpole. lie has also said that he
contemplates establishing manufactur-
ing plant in Walpole village. Another
story is to the effect that he will put up
plant to manufacture electrical sup
plies at Cold River. Mr.. Amory does
not always tell what he intends to dc
and this makes the guessing all the more
vigorous.

The state has lost valuable citizen
and the ministry a bright and shining
light in the resignation of Rev. John II.
Reid of Bellows Falls, to assume the edi-
torship and management of The Walden,
n. Y, Citizen. During his pastorate the

nancially as well as spiritually. He takes
up the newspaper business with every
requisite required to make it success
Through his newspaper he will speak to
larger congregation each week and his
sphere of usefulness win be greatly ex-
tended. We congratulate the people of
the enterprising village of Walden on
having him for citizen as his influence
will ever be on the right side. He says
in his announcement in The Citizen, that
he will conduct it on broader and more
progressive lines and make it loyal to
the higher life of that community. The
best wishes of host of friends in Yer
mont go with him to his new field of
work.-Middlebur Register.

at st. Agnes Hall. The following is a
brief extract from the obituary notice
which appeared in the st. Adams Mes
senger:
Mrs. Anna Maria Forbes Brainerd was
born in Windsor November %, 1871 and
belonged to a prominent old-time family
of that place, being the granddaughter
of Gen. Abner Forbes, one of the lead
ing men of Vermont in his generation
Her mother, Katharine Tucker Camp
bell, came of a family conspicuously
| identified with the Episcopal church in

ter of the late Hon. Edward Raymond

of st. Pauls, Windsor, and a member of
the standing committee of the diocese,
granddaughter of DR.. Samuel Cutler, the
founder and first senior warden of In

Lawrence Brainerd, I'd, of St. Adams, by
two daughters, Miss Louisa Brainerd of
ST. Adams, and Mrs. Robert Alexander
Gum, Jr., of New York, and by one
grandson, R. Alexander Gum, 3d. In

Vermont granite to be used by the state
of Pennsylvania in the erection of the

the company's quarries in Woodbury. and
they have from three to five years to fill

dent, George II. BicBford of Hardwick,

THE COTTON MARKET

Cotton much quieter this week, and
has lost from to / from the advance
OF last week. This is caused by a
natural reaction from so much cotton
coming on the market. At this writ
ing, (Friday morning,) the market is
much tirmer, and looks as IL it were
going higher. 1t seems like the big
spectators have control OF the market,
and intend to put it much higher the
balance OF the season. The range of
prices this week have been from
1Os to IL cents, high grade staples
bringing from IL to Is cents. Grena-
da market is certainly on the boom,
and we are getting cotton from all
sections OF the country, as we are pay
ing the highest prices OF any town in
the State. We hear OF other towns
paying lO3 to 1Os cents, while we are
paying lOs to 1Os cents.

This was only the forerunner of a
cold wave which reached here later,
and the likeness Of which seems in
clined to remain. This present cold
snap is decidedly the severest expe-
rienced here, the temperature being

j. E& I-5S ii
It is less than Il week now until the
day set apart by the President of the
United States and by the Governor of
the State, for the people of this ma
tion and OF this State to offer to the
Most High, thanks for the many bene-
fits received at His hand during the
past year. This custom has been in
| vogue since the time when the memo
ry Of man runneth not to the contrary,
yet, not in all these years have the
people in general had greater cause to
be thankful than at present. The
people, as a rule, have enjoyed a sea-
son Uf extremely good health. The
soil has produced abundantly to the
hand Of the planter, and the weather
conditions have been suited to the
gathering of his crops. The prices
paid for the products OF the farm
have been exceedingly good, which is
responsible for the buoyant spirit in
trading circles that is noticeable
among our merchants. The farmer
is marketing his cotton at extremely
good prices and is enabled to better
furnish his family and household, and
to pay off old scores. We are informed
by our merchants that old debts Of
years standing are being settled off,
and as the farmer is benefited just in
proportion is the merchant and all
lines OF business benefited. Truly.
the people OF this community have an
abundance for which to be thankful.
