The Weather.

Since the time of1.going to press
last week the weather was beautl-
full, balmy and springlike but Tues
day evening and night we had an
other taste of winter in a binding
drifting snow storm from the north
ern regions in which the mercury
fell below the freezing point. In
places about town the snow drifted
in piles and in all kinds of fantastic
shapes, some of them being five
feet in depth and firm enough to
walk on. Wednesday a rise in
temperature and thawing again and
today, Wednesday, spring weather
again prevails.

j. L. Francis killed a little
plains pig last week that weigh
ed only 600 pounds. Another
8 months old shoat weighed net
215 pounds, fattened on kaffir
corn. S. B. Davis killed a pig
Just 10 months old that netted
240 pounds, and yet you cannot
raise hogs,-we guess not. They
were fattened on plains feed,
too.-Silverton Enterprise.
A very good showing for any
country and lots of Randall
county folks could tell the same
tale or even better. Indeed the
complaint of our butchers here,
who get their supplies from the
country round about, is that the
hogs are not only too big but
also too fat.
