HOW PEANUTS PAY.

Bryan Eagle, BrazoS County reeds to
raise more peanuts and hogs. The short
age OF hogs and cattle appears to he very
pronounced in this section at present.
RrazoS County, like all other counties,
ought to raise her own corn and meat.
Without this is done by any county, Just
about as much money will go out OF Il tor
feedstufis as comes in from cotton. The
cotton crop is made valuable to the grower
BY the meat and bread produced on his
farm. ANY one who will take time and a
pencil can figure out this Truth. hut
Brasos County ought no, only to do this
because OF the money directly saved by 1t,
but should do il in order to foster the
diyersi6ca,ion spirit. Only a few days
ago State Press saw on freigh, train,
which had been placed on a siding IN
Dallas. four large peanu, threashers.
These had been brought TO Dallas for
distribution in Kaufman, Lamar and one
or two more counties. The people in
these counties had at last ascer,ained that
there was no more profitable crop than
peanuts. They had planted many acres,
and these ,hreashers were bough, to take
care of the crop. Texas can and does
produce as fine nuts Of this kind as are to
be found in the world. The nut has be-
come a staple and is used all over the
universe. The price is high. when the
amount of labor required IN producing
them is considered. After a field OF the
marketable nu, is threshed there is enough |
lief, OF the smaller nu, to faiten hogs with
out once going TO the crib. In East Tex
as the peanu, vine is made into hay, and
horses and cattle thrive on il. There is no
crop like the peanu, crop TO 60 long ways
and be valuable as /, goes in every way

shouting like bunch OF Happyhamme''
ON a hay ride since they took couple OF
games from Bryan the past week ahu
their ioy is particularly uneonhned because
Handsome George Mcdonald was IN
the box for the las, game. As the Eagle
understands il. George cant help being
handsome any more than he can help be-
ing a good pitcher. and the fact that ne
loses a game once in while when the
conditions are against him. as in this in
stance, is no discredit to him. Na'aso'a
and Bryan have played hve games, Nava-
sofa winning three and Bryan two. Bryan
has visited Navaso,a twice and Navaso'a
has been here once. Now, II Navasota is
no, "skeered" OF Handsome George

TAMWORTH SWINE.

Mr.. X. ]. swancoa, tells the Eagle that
after considerable correspondence with
breeders in Texas. Tennessee, Kentucky
and Ohio he has secured NJ. Duke II for
the head Of one OF their herd. He took Isl
prize a. the Kentucky and Tennessee Fairs,
1904, for hes, boar of any age and Is, prize
for hes, boar year old.
As far as he knows this is the first Tam
worth brought into 8rafos county, and
hog raisers will be curious to know IL they
are superior to the Berkshires or Poland
Chinas which are generally very popular
with the farmers. The Tamworths are
said to be prolific. thrifty and superior for
breakfas, bacon. This breed originated a,
Tamworth, England, on Sir Robert Peel's
estate. There was a borrow slaughtered
in England. some time since that weighed
1907 pounds. and il is no unusual thing
for boars to weigh 1000 pounds and sows
form 900 to 900 pounds.
