U. Z. Rand went out hunting
one day this week on his favor
ite horse which he is of the opin-
ion will not run away when the
reins are only thrown on the
ground, as all well-trained cow
ponies should do. However, it
happened that the horse ran
away, leaving Mr.. Rand to walk
home in the dark. When the
riderless. horse came to town,
several parties, thinking that
something serious might have
happened, went out in search.
In the meantime Mr.. Rand ar
rived at home and then the
searchers had to be rounded up,
which took some time, and it
was near midnight when they all
got home.

Some people imagine that this
part of these United States will
grow nothing but sagebrush and
rattlesnakes, but if those people
were here this week they would
see the different gardens around
town which abound with good
and solid vegetables of every sort
and description. The several
ranches on the river have for the
past month been producing gar
den stuff galore, which finds a
ready market among our tami-
lies They are also right here
in town several trees that are
loaded down with fruit. 1t
might be good idea when plan
ting trees in the future to plant
fruit trees instead of shade trees
as has been done in the past.
Those that took the time and
trouble, which amounts to very
little and is a pleasurable occu-
patton, to plant small gardens
in their yards, report the best of
success.

p. Jordan of the Texas National
Guard had a very exciting experience
while in jamestown several days

more than charging battery would
have done. He was out at Balloon

big balloon 81 for the privilege of
going up 900 feet in the balloon,
this being the limit. Two other
young men were with him and when
| the balloon reached the limit it pull
ted out the staples and started on
! upwards, drifting towards Blue
Ridge mountains. Major Jordan witt
great presence of mind pulled tn
, valve rope. allowing gas to escay
and thus let the balloon down. I
did this several times and land
safely, but the experience was

! ing expenses for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, and some very interest
ing statistics are shown. BY mistake
! the figures for the Texas and Pa
cific are given for the entire line AM

| i've of the Texas and Pacific figures,
are as follows:

vious year s4,597S73.S5, 26.S2 per
cent: gross earnings s100,025,7S0
So, net increase s21,SS1,S25.35 or
about 2S per cent over the previous
year
In gross earnings the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe shows the great
est amount as in passenger and
freight earnings The Galveston,

Experiments Prove 1t Pays to Buy
Standard Quality.
Following are deductions from
tests carried on by the West Virginia
Experiment Station:
Fifty White Leghorns were COM
pared with fifty mongrels for one
year as to cost of food and egg pro-
duction, ordinary care and attention
being given them such as they would
receive on the average farm.
In addition to skim milk used to
moisten the mash the Leghorns con-
S5.3 cents, and the mongrels con-
sumed 66.S pounds of the same ma
teria!s costing 90. cents.
Daring the year the Leghorns laid
1863 eggs worth 1925 per hen, and
the moagrels GEL eggs worth $1.78
per hen.
The Loghorns gave a profit over
mongrels a profit of Sc cents.
The mongrels gained in weight
one round per head more than the
Leigh orns. If this increase in weight
is taken into consideration then the
LegEorns gave a profit OF 40 cents
per hen more than the mongrels.
Tie highest prices for fresh eggs
usually prevail during the months of
November, december, January and
February. During these four months
the mongrels laid only 364 eggs and
the Leghorns 1,029, or practically
three times as many.
