Austin, Texas, Dec. 12.-General At

morning and has been in consultation
with the companys local attorneys all
forenoon. It is believed that he is
here for the purpose of preparing a
motion for a rehearing, as that is
about all that can be done by this de-
PENDANT company at this time, as the
state has headed it off on all sides.
1t is too late now for the defendant
to do any material damage, as the
state and federal courts have already
disposed Of the receivership matters.
State Receiver Eckhardt is expect
ing to assume control Of the com
pany's affairs within the next few
days.

day that the machinery had been put

SOUTHERN LEAGUE MEET
Club Owners of the Southern Base.
ball League Are Satisfied With
Results of Past Season.
Special to the Herald.

Gpecldl W TIE I1eIdlu.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 13.-Pleased with
the results of the past season and
satisfied with the outlook for the COM
ing year, the club owners of the
Southern League are gathering here
in anticipation of their annual bust
ness meeting tomorrow. Everything
points to a harmonious meeting, al
though it promises to be far from
dull. More than the usual amount of
business is on the slate for consid-
Grafton and action.
The sentiment expressed by the
magnates already here indicates that
the election of officers will be of an
almost perfunctory character. Presi-
dent Kavanaugh is slated for re-
election. A contest may come over
the selection of a vice president to
succeed Lowry Arnold. Baugh of Bir-
mingham and Coleman of Memphis
are both mentioned for the honor.
Some of the disputes and squabbles
growing out of games last year will
come up before the meeting for final
settlement, but no serious difficulty is
expected in clearing everything up so
as to give general satisfaction.

woMAN's PERILoUs TRIP.
Miss Hall Will Go Down the Colorado
River In a Skiff.

Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 12-Charlotte
NJ Hall, historian for Arizona and as
sociate editor of Out West Magazine,
is preparing to make journey down
the treacherous Colorado river in a
sl1iff, accompanied by lone, Indian
guide. She will make the trip for the
purpose of studying the river from a
scientific standpoint and will take her
time in completing the journey, prob
ably being cut off from civilization
for several weeks.
She will make the start from her
home in Prescott and cross the terri
tory on horseback to Ehrenberg,
studying the habits of the Colorado
Indians en- route. Then she will start
down the river and make observa-
tons as far as Yuma, where she will
disembark and will be rendered a re-
ception by the club women of that
place.
Miss Hall is accustomed to rough
ing it, and during the progress of the
fight TO regain control of the Colo
radc when it broke over its banks and

Neither the attorneys for the oil

WINTER FEEDING OF HOGS.

| Hogs will do very well on green
corn fodder OF corn in the stalk until
the leaves and stalk becomes quite dry,
when 1t is better to feed huSked corn.
When this is begun, it will certainly
pay to feed some of the concentrated
foods, such as tankage, oil-meal and
mill stuffs.
Right here is where many persons
fall down in their efforts to raise and
fatten a good bunch Of hogs. They
do not furnish material for the build
ing UP Of lean meat and bone, and
consequently their hogs fatten, but
finish up around $50 or IT'S pounds,
whereas they should make little
more growth and attain a weight in
the same time of 200 or 225 pounds.
While one is feeding snapped corn,
1t is very important that the hogs be
supplied with mixture of charcoal
and salt. You will find that their APP
petites will be very keen for substances
Of this character, and this being true,
it will be highly profitable to feed it.
Watch them closely and see that
they are not bothered with worms,
and if they are, do not delay using a
good worm powder. 1t is an excellent
idea to use a coal tar produce occa-
sionally in the slop.
Ordinarily two or three tablespoon
fuls to pail win be about all that
will be consumed. However, when hogs
reach the age Of five or six months,
it will not hurt them If it is made a
little stronger than this. The only
question is. if you get it too strong,
they will not eat 1t.

WORK TO DO IN WINTER.

Winter has many days in which a
farmer can do little, and there is so
much to do on our place that l can
not find days enough in which to Go
them.
Every load Of manure hauled out,
brings larger returns. Start in GER
tain field that is thin, and you will
be surprised at the acreage which may
be covered. Every acre properly en-
riched will increase the corn yield ten
bushels per acre the first year, and
this, at the present price, makes 5
per cent on seventy and seventy-ive-
dollar land.
Last year hauled in one 14-acre
plat of thin land, and l now have a
good, big fifty bushel-per-acre land.
The winter gives us an excellent
chance, also, to be in the shop and
repair farm machinery, also to build
coops and houses for the spring brood,
examine the box stalls for the early
COW or mare, and hundred other
things may be done.
Another important thing is to have
plenty Of good posts made to use on
the farm the coming year. How often
do we see farmers stop right in the
busy season to make posts and re-
pair fences, let alone building new?-

Care of Milk for Creamery, Cheese
Factory or Shipping.

The Cow-The first essential for
good milk is to prevent the dirt get
ting into the milk. 1t takes but a
moment to brush the udder and nearby
parts just before milking. 1t is even
better to wipe them off with a damp
cloth, as the dust will then adhere
to the damp hair, rather than fall into
the pail.
The milk should be removed from
the stable as soon as possible, as it
absorbs stable odors very quickly.
Strainers-With the best of care
there will be some foreign matter fall
into the milk, which a strainer will
remove A fine wire strainer is better
than none, but two or three thick
nesses of cheese cloth, If properly
cleaned each time after using, is one
of the best strainers available. The
strainer cloth should be rinsed in cold
water, washed clean in warm water,
scalded and hung in the sun If pos
sible.
Strain and cool by placing the can
in cold water and stir few times
within the first hour. Use a Their
mometer enough to know whether the
milk gets too cold or not. If necessary,
change the water. 1t should be down
to so degrees f. at least, and the near
er 40 degrees, the better.
It is getting the milk cold which
counts, not putting 1t in the water.
A can of milk will cool faster in water
lat As degrees than in the air at 35
degrees.
Keep tight covers off the cans while
cooling. to allow escape of animal
gases and heat. There is no objection
to light cloth cover to keep out dust
and flies. Be sure the air is pure
where the milk Is exposed.
Do not mix warm milk with cold
as it will sour both very soon.
