"Mary Crockett" the First Cow Reg
istered in Crockett County.
From ozona West Texan.

from OLoha west IeXun.
Fayette Schwalbe, Crockett
county's fine Durham breeder, has
the distinction of owning the first
COW brute ever registered from
Crockett county. MARY Crock
EFT" is a heifer yearling and is u
beautiful specimen of the Durham
breed. Mr. Schwalbe is enthusi-
astlc in his advocacy of the value
of fine stock and backs up his
convictions by raising stuff of the
finest kind, and, as n result, he
has biooded cattle that can scarce
ly be beaten.
If everything works favorablv
Fayette will exhibit some Of his
fine cattle at the San Angelo car
nival next fail, which we are sure
will compare favorably to any
that may be on exhibition there.
The Texan congratulates Mr..
Schwalbe on the marked success
he has met in the fine stock in
dustry, and we express the hope
that other Crockett county stock
men shall follow his example, for
fine stock is the hope of this
county-fewer but better stock.

PLUM PUDDING IS FOOD.

In popular belief plum pudding. though
difficult OF digestion. contains a large
proportion of nut-iment. The London
Lancet" Publishes the analysis made of
two buildings, OF which one was found
TO have a nutrient value" Of g per cent
and the other of 90
It appears that. although most agree
able as an article OF food. plum pudding
IS not quite so concentrated a form OF
diet as has been supposed. and conjec-
lures that II yields az much sustenaEce
as beefsteak are certainly not supported
by its chemical composition. The
amount OF heterogeneous matter Is only
moderate. and Il must be remembered
that IN calculating the nutrient ratio
and value all the nitrogen has been as
sumed TO be albuminoid. Probably the
true albuminOids and consequently the
food value are slightly lower than would
appear from the results; also tho per
centage Of water Is rather large, and
the qualities Of the remaining compo-
nents are proportionately Icssened.-
