Panhandle farmers and the results
Of which are of real value to every

bought from local farmers, Feed
ing began January 1, 1907, with the
steers weighing LIS pounds, and
continued for eighty-five days when
they were shipped to Kansas City
and sold to Morris & Co,
The cattle were in two lots of fifty
each. Lot No. we're fed on a ra-
tlon of twenty pounds ground kaffir
corn and five pounds cotton seed
per day with kafrir corn fodder for

Lot No. . was on a ration Of TWEEN
ty-two pounds ground kafflr corn and
three pounds cotton seed meal with
the same roughness. During the
thirty days this lot showed gain
per head Of ninety-one pounds.
Lot No I weighed at Kansas City
t.249 pounds and sold for $500 per
cwt. Lot No. weighed l216
pounds and brought $5.15. The

History of the Association.
The history and organization Of
the association, as given in circu-
lar gotten out by the association, is
as follows;
On September I, 1899, in Cana
dian, Texas, there we're gathered
twenty-seven stock owners operating
north of the national quarantine line
in that vast section Of country known
as "tho plains" and adjacent dis
tricts. These gentlemen had recog-
nzed the fact that great mutual pro-
lection and benefit might be OBJ
tanned great assistance rendered
each other and an avenue opened by
means of which they could keep
abreast of the times, IL they we're to
associate themselves together in an
organization distinctively their own.
In consequence OF their timely ef-
forts to create such an organization,
the Panhandle Stockmen's associa-
zion was born in Canadian, Texas,
on the ddte named above, Tom
Connel, of Lipscomb county, Texas,
was elected its first president, and
u. II. Brainard, of Canadian, Texas.
was chosen secretary and has so
faithfully and proliciently filled the
office, that he has been retained
since the date Of organization. The
association has, over since its In
ception, been extremely popular, and
from the initial membership of TWEEN
ty-scven 1t has grown until now its
rolls show the name of nearly every
progressive stockman in that section
of country which It is intended to
cover A constitution and bylaws
was prepared BY w. ], Todd, Cleye-
land Coffee and +. A. Maltsborger
as committee appointed by Pres
ident Conncl at the time of organi-
cation, and adopted.

stood for conviction from the first,
made some remarks which we're re-
sented by the four men who voted
for acQulttal. While at breakfast
that day Juror steele approached
Pfaff and demanded an apology
which Ptaff refused TO make. One
word led to another and when Steel
shook his fist in Pfafrs face and
threatened to pummel his head,
other jurors interferred and pre-
vented further trouble. ,r,.ssi,,. -.
