A little lime is an excellent thing to
put in the hogs drinking water
Profit depends as much on the cost
of production as on the selling price.
The good, square walk as gait for
a farm horse Is the most valuable of
any.
The rotation of crops does not call
for more blowing, but less, and more
stirring of the soil.
It is the surplus or increase of price
above the cost Of production that adds
to the prosperity of the people.
The difference between good and
inferior care taker is everything in the
matter of success or failure in cattle
feeding.
In nearly all cases the offspring OF
immature, undeveloped animals is in
ferior to that of mature and full grown
parents.
Where the pungent smell OF am
monia is noticed as escaping from the
manure it may be taken as an indica
ton or loss.
Try to have time to stop and chat
with a neighbOr occasionally; merely a
nod and grunt are not conducive to a
friendly feeling.
Some men never have money to spare
to buy clover seed or to do thing with.
Perhaps they invest their money in
something that pays better, but it is
very doubtful.
In one respect the stories we hear
about the creamery trust and the grain
growers combine are like most of the
bad stories we hear about our neigh
bors, they are not true.
The farmer who finds himself over
burdened with work all the time should
stop and investigate. There must be a
screw loose somewhere because no man
was intended TO be Oh a level with a
beast of burden.

Stock Breeding and management.
Another method of cheapening the
| expenses is to use pure breeds and pro-
vide abundant pasturage. Poor pastures
| make poor stock, no matter how careful
| the breeder may be. 1t will not do to
endeavor to bring the stock or herd up
by breeding unless all the conditions
are favorable. The razor-back hog is
the result of poor feeding, and though
man compelled the animal to resort to
scanty heritage, nature fitted him for
the purpose by gradually changing his
form, thus adapting him to the sur
rOundings. We thus know that eli
mate, soil and the growth indigenous
thereto are important factors to be
taken into account, and in the breeding
of live stock farmers should consider
we'll as to what may be needed before
making the effort
The large mutton breeds of sheep
now weigh twice as much as the or
binary common kinds, but in securing
size the sheep have been fed on rich
pastures, where everything favorable
for Improvement has been in their ia
yor, and they have never refrigerated
during single period, but progressed
without difficulty. Hence, if the large
breeds are to be the agents for improv-
ing the common flock, the farmer must
take look over the feeding grounds.
The Berkshire hog would starve if com
PEELED to compete with the land pike
variety. 1t could not exist under the
same conditions, for 1t has been bred
away from that sphere, and it Is of no
| use unless adapted to the place which
is to be it's habitatiOn. The native cow
can exist where the pure-bred animal
| might starve, but this is because she is
| not required by nature to convert a
| large quantity Of food into milk, Sean
| ty heritage has dwarfed her milking
| qualities. and this has been handed
down from ancestry, but scanty herb
| age will not do. The change is up
| ward and the conditions must be
| changed to suit the demands of the
| animal.

Prolific Hen.

Professor GOwell, of the Geological
Research Laboratory of Maine Univer-
sity, has been breeding White Wyan-
dottes for the past year, with the view
of increasing their laying capacity.
He has the record in this respect. He
claims that he has one hen which laid
252 eggs in one year In the month Of
May she laid an egg on every day but
one, and in thirtythree days laid
thirty-four eggs.

Interest in the avocado as a salad
fruit continues to increase. The mar

How They Store Sweet Potatoes.

HOW 1ney store SWEEP
The New Jersey sweet potato house
is a stone building, say 16x1S feet on
the inside, with walls 10 feet high and
a good roof The building is half I'M
foreground and the earth is banked up
around it. There is a passageway
through the center, and the bins for
the sweet potatoes are 6 to feet
square and to 10 feet deep. There is
a door on the south side, with window
above, and a stove is placed inside the
building for use when required. The
walls are plastered, and the underside
of the roof is also covered with lath
and plaster, and the place is thoroughly
weatherproof. A house of this kind
will afford storage room for 5000 or
more bushels.

How Lincoln Heard of Lees Surren-

Mrs. Lincoln had returned to City
Point with party which included SEN
ator Sumner and Senator and Mrs.
Harlan. They made visit to Rich
mond, accompanied by Captain Penrose,
while the President remained at City
Point, the guest of Admiral Porter, I'M
til the Stfh Then, having heard OF the
injury to Secretary Seward when he
was thrown from his carriage in run
away accident, he felt that he must go
back to Washington. He had intended
to remain until Lee surrendered.
We reached home Sunday evening,
the 9th. The Presidents carriage met
us at the wharf. There Mr.. Lincoln
parted from Captain Penrose; he took
the captain by the hand and thanked
him for the manner in which he had
performed his duty. Then he started
for the White House.
The streets were alive with people, all
much excited. There We're bOnfres ev-
erywhere We were all curious to know
what had happened. Tad was SO ex-
cited he couldn't keep still We halted
the carriage and asked bystander:
What has happened?
He looked at us in amaZement, not
recognizing Mr.. Lincoln:
why, where have you been? Lee
has surrendered. Harper

Railroad at PIainview.

Last Saturday the cars official
ly entered Plainview. The Off
Gals of the Pecos Valley, Vice
President Avery Turner, Traffic
Manager D. l.. Meyers and 9th
ers were along.
From all accounts Plainview
made a great time of it. 1t is
said that fully five hundred gaily
decorated vehicles were on hand
to meet the first train" and that
in all at the great barbecue which
followed some four or five thou
sand people were present. Plain
view spread herself, so the visi-
tors say, and feeling like she
now had the world and a down
hill pull, was lavish not only in
the eXhuberance of her JOY. but
also of her hospitality.
From all accounts it was a great
time for Plainview and The News
congratulates her on the success
she made of it.

to your letter concerning what
YOU should do with regard to

soon as you take the oath of of
fee as Senator from this district
that you accept Bailey'S challenge
and resign your Office and imme-
diately announce for reelection.

in my opinion Texas does not
want as its L. 5. Senator one
who is pledged to represent pub

Gin Receipts Increase.

a Brand reporter called at the
gin plant this week to make an
investigation of this years cotton
receipts at this place. We found
the plant in full operation. turn
ing out the feecy staple at the
rate of a bale an hour. The vol
ume Of the cotton crop will excel
anything which has hitherto been
predicted. MIR. Tucker, one of
the proprietors, tells US that at
present there are $50 bales in
sight for this place this season.
which will be no bad showing
when everything which would
naturally work against the crop
j. considered. We learn by talk
ing with those who are growing
the staple that the average this
year will be right about half bale
per acre, which is also a pretty
good argument in favor of plains
cotton. Hereford Brand
The News has, all along. con
tended that cotton will do reason
ably well in Randall county and
AZ further evidence in this di-
rection. the record made in Deaf
Smith county is here quoted
1t win not be denied that a
half bale to the acre in Deaf
Smith county means at least that
much if not more on the same
amount of land in Randall county
and we call that a pretty fair
yield anywhere.
