THE TEXAS FARMER FREE.
Improved Breeds and Methods Have
Relieved Him From the Mortgage.

Chickens, hogs, turkeys, improv-
ed stock and a thousand things
that every farm ought to have on
it, and which all farms have on
them except i'll the South, have
brought the Texas farmer out from
under the killing weight of the
mortgage. Only a few years ago
there was no great market for such
thing in Texas. State Press re-
members that about seven years
ago he was talking to a bright
country woman on the subject of
Investigation as a means of help
ing out the woman on the farm.
She replied that if chickens and
such things were raised no market
could be found for them, or rather
no market could be found in the
State in which they would bring
what it cost to raise them. The
reason there was no market was
simply that the people did not Of
fer such things for sale as a pro-
duct from which to make money.
In other words, they created no
market. As soon as they commenc-
ed to turn their attention to rails
ing the things mentioned the peo-
pie in the towns and people beyond
the State lines wanted to buy.
Agents of big concerns in the
North went about buying up all
the chickens and turkeys they
could find. Now the turkeys, the
chickens and the eggs have come
to be considered by the farmer
worth while, and as valuable in
their line as cotton in its line No
longer do we hear six bits" as a
standing price for a turkey, but
that fowl is sold by the pound. 1t
has taken its place by the side of
the steer and other animals which
are sold i'll the market by weight.
We have advanced. State Press re-
members when in South Texas,
where he lived, a steer brought
$40, 10 more or 10 less, and that
without reference to its weight.
Cattle then spread in droves over
all the prairies, and there were no
fences to interfere with their drift
ing. But it required only a short
time for this condition of affairs to
change. Fences came, and breed
ing up was the rule. Cattle sold
according to their size and other
merits. The turkey and the chicken
have come TO be sold by the pound. |
That is making them articles of
trade. At Wills Point a short time
ago a man drove turkeys to town,
as he would drive beeves, and sold /
of his raising $500 worth. There is
a turkey ranch started in South
west Texas in which thousands of
dollars have been invested, the pur 7
pose of it being not only to raise
thousands OF turkeys, but 10 raise
the most improved stock aud for
the purpose of getting the best
prices. Turkeys bring, in neary
all the large towns now. l23c on

the hoof' and 15c dressed. The
birds, if in good condition, ought
to weigh at least fifteen pounds,
dressed, and this would make one
worth SIPS. The bronze turkey
averages more than this. The mar
ket can never be glutted with this
fowl, since the demand in the North
is growing every year. Dallas

CONDENSED STORIES.
The Amusing Mistake of a HOspitable
English Butler.

London society folk are much
amused at a recent misadventure of
Lord Newton-Butler, who is a dig
nifed man of rather stiff carriage
and who is himself responsible for
the story.
1t was a musicale at home in Bel
gravia, to which the lord was invit-
ed, and, it being a rainy night, he
wore a felt hat and a long water
proof coat over his evening dress.

How Uncle Sam Lcvies Taxes

One striking feature Of the interua a.
revenue laws is that they never look
to quality or value, but always to
quantity. The tax on 1000 cigars i.
50, no matter whether they are Pitts.
burg >togles or the Key West brand
whose retail value is, say, % cents
each. The tax on a Pittsburg s,ogy
is about one.ifth of the retail value:
it is less than one.eightieth the value
Of the Key West cigar. The country
plowboy who comes to town Saturday
afternoon and invests 5 cents in a
package containing three Old Virginia
cheroots. pays as much tax into the
treasury of the United States inl m ak.
ing his purchase as does the fellow
who buys three cigars for 81. The
tax on the cheapest twist tobacco is s
cents a pound: it is the same on the
best grade OF fnecut. 1t Is about oue.
third the retail value Of the twist: it is
about one.twentieth the retail price O..
the tinecut. On a barrel OF common
beer worth 81 the tax is 81: on a barre!
of the best grade of ale, porter or beer
worth S12 the tax Is still 81. The IN an
who buys a quart OF Georgia whisky
for 50 cents pays p. cents for the
whisky and 27t tau. A quart of eight.
year-old Kentucky bourbon, worth at
retail $3.50, has paid but PIT cents
tax, the other 1922. being the value
Of the goods ove aud above the tax.
The negro frequenter of the New Or.
leans "honky.tonk" pays as much
tax to the government in the purchase
price Of the 'booze" consumed by
him in a night Of wild debauch as
does the swellest New York)Imillion.
aire in an evening spent at his club.
"Pale death enters with impartial
step the cottage Of the poor and the
palaces OF the rich Likewise the in
revenue tax.gatherer, equally
as certain as death, makes his de-.
N lands or the rich and the poor. But
he comes in such . way that he Is not
recognized, and not n time in every
million does the man who bears the
burden of the tax know when he is
paying it.-National Magazine.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1906-08-22
BOmbarded BY kilograms.

The biggest telegraphic lombard
ment ever fired on congress was tina
drawn out BY the campaign Of the
railway employees to defeat the anti
pass amendment in the rate bill. Ter
thousand kilograms we're poured il
through one company in less thar
t%wenty.four hours.
The tolls expended on the telegram;
were estimated at sl5, 900. The com
pany did not have operators tc
handle the business and SEM urgen'
calls for assistance to Philadelphia
aud Baltimore.
Practically every member Of the sen
ate and house received kilograms
One received 300.
The bombardment was arranged BY
the lobbyist of the railway employees
He had been stationed in Washington
all winter watching the rate bill
When he realized that all railway
employees would be obliged to pay
fare he wired all branch chapters te
get busy.
The kilograms were of all sorts
Some were brief and polite. Others
were long and argumentative. Still
others were threatening. They fell or
congress like a plague, and the states
men looked more worried than they
have looked for many months.
