Dairy Worth Whites.


it is estimated that the cost Of
keeping cow is about $50 a
year.
A well managed dairy furn-
ishes more and better fertilizer
than any other branch of farm
ing.
If you don't know how to run
dairy it is a good plan to at
tend an institute, or become as
sociated with a practical dairy
man.
A good COW should average
300 pounds of butter a year.
Governor Hoard's COWS averaged
425 pounds of butter each last
year.
Dairy farming is the most
PORTABLE, and when there
ceases to money in it, it is the
fault of conditions and not of the
dairy nor the farm.
Probably there never was a
better time for dairying than
now. Prices are good, the de-
mand is unmet. There is plenty
of room for good stuff.
Butter keeps better if it is kept
from exposure to the air. The
cooler and less exposde to the air
the longer it will keep, and the
fresher it will taste.
Boys cannot do some things
that men can, but are very help
full in their place and in their
way. If managed right, they can
be made very useful.
Cow-pea vines are one of the
most valuable feeds on the dairy
farm. They are easily raised,
and while producing some of the
best feed, they make the soil bet
ter upon which they grow. While
growing the vines for hay, it will
pay to reserve some for seed for
planting and for sale.
Prices of dairy products have
been advancing from year to
year, until now choice dairy but
ter is retailed at 35 cents, and
quoted at 80 cents wholesale. A
good COW will make 800 pounds
of butter year, or more. This
would amount to $50 for butter
only. There should be a fine mar
gin in tbs.
There is great difference of
opinion as to whether cream
should be sweet or sour when
churned. A writer before me
says: "Churn as soon as the
cream is sour, and properly
mixed. Some, no doubt, will
differ with me in this idea, j. e.,
that butter is butter, and will
keep better if the cream has be-
come sour before churning,
than if churned sweet"

Taft and His Texas
Brooches.

"a pair of pants made from
a billy goat" That is the offer
ing Texas sends to Secretary
William Taft, son of destiny, and
possible future President of the
United States. These trousers
were made from cloth manufac-
tured out of mohair or goat
wool, a six months growth
weighing ten pounds, clipped
from the finest Angora billy
ever bred. @Last week these
trousers were presented to Sec
rotary Taft by Colonel Cecil
Lyon, leader of the Republican
party in Texas, as a token of
esteem in which the Republican
nominee for the Presidency is
held in the Empire State of Tex
as.
The story of those trousers,
"made from billy goat" is an
interesting story of Texas in
dustry and energy. The mohair
was cut from admiral Togo"
a Texas three-year old, bred by
Frank 0. Landrum of Montell,
in Uvalde County, not far from
San Antonio. Frank Landrum
is one of the famous Angora
breeders of the world. "Admi-
raj Togo was sired by Dick"
who was imported from South
Africa, and won first prize at
the st. Louis Exposition. His
mother was Lady Holiness"
who won the Kansas sweepstake-

But conditions have changed
within the last two years. The
speculator and real estate agent
has been abroad in the land.
Many large ranches have been
purchased by the speculator and
the work of subdivision is pro-
crossing rapidly. Very soon
the great herds of cattle and the
cowboys will be thing of the
past. The cattleman and large
land owner will have reaped
their reward and will be enjoy
ing the results of their past eff
forts.
Now, then, with the passing
and dismemberment of these
great pastures comes the man
with the hoe" and with his COM
ing the praiie sod is turned, the
mesquite brush disappears and
in their place, white fields of cot
ton, ripening fields of corn,
rice, alfalfa, sugar cane and oats
appear. Immense crops of on
ions, cabbage, Irish and sweet
potatoes, tomatoes and many
other vegetables are grown in
the winter and early spring
months and bring from 500 to
$500 per acre, and in some in
stances more. Sugar cane is
grown in large fields that yield
from 500 to 5000 per acre. AL
falfa will return from five to
eight tons per acre, selling read
lily at SIS per ton. Rice land can
be purchased for $40 per acre,
where this years crop on adjoin-
ing land yielded returns of from
$50 to $75 per acre.
Now, right here, we wish to
correct prevailing opinion that
rice is grown on low, submerged
lands, subject to annual over
flows. Such is n otthe case in
Texas. 1t is generally grown
where the water for irrigation
is pumped from wells or from
streams on the land.
The fruit grower has also put
in an appearance and orchards
of oranges, lemons, figs,
peaches, pears and pecans are
being planted, some of which are
already bearing and producing
satisfactory profits. Strawber-
ries are shipped from some sec
tons in carload lots, and some
growers last year sold as high as
$500 worth per acre. Canning
factories for figs are being es-
tablished, and ere long Texas
canned figs will be shipped to
Northern cities in trainload lots.
They are grown with the utmost
ease and certainty, and begin
bearing the second year from
planting. The California grape
grower has put in his appear
ance in the Brownsville country
and has commenced planting
large areas of the finer varieties
of table grapes, with the expecta-
ton of placing them on the mar
ket several. weeks earlier than
from California. Oranges are be-
ing grown as far north as Hous-
ton. This year, in nearly every
part of the beautiful city of Vic
toria, might be seen orange trees
loaded with their golden fruit.
Old-timers, always skeptical, are
now planting orchards or orange
tees.

In Treating the Cattle Oil Is
Poured Over the Water.
Then the Long Horns Dropped
in Pool With q Splash.

Chanute, Aug. 21.-Crude oil was
shipped from Chanute this week to be
used by the federal government in
stamping out an epidemic of Texas
fever among cattle in Arkansas. The
OIL was furnished by the kansas Re-
inning company. Three cars of bar
relied oil were sent out. They were
consigned to the agent of the federal
bureau Of animal industry.
This Is the first time. so far as ia
known, that such oil has been used
in the effort to stamp out an epidemic.
The Kansas company makes a busi-
ness OF supplying the government with
oil for its dipping stations on the
quarantine line. At these dipping sta
tons all stock II unloaded and given
an oil bath to kill the ticks which
spread the fever.
The oil which was sent to Arkansas
however, goes to district where the
fever injection has developed and
where the government Is trying to
suppress 1t. Oil of a heavy gravity is
used. That which was sent to Arkan-
sas came from the heavy field several
miles west Of Chanute. 1t was of "a
degrees gravity. The oil which was
furnished the dipping stations on the
quarantine line last spring was Still
heavier, and r. w. Fem, who has
charge Of this part of the business fol
the refining company, had hard work
getting oil low enough to meet the re-
Quirements. He managed to come
across some which had been in tank
age long. enough to have evaporate6
all its lighter properties.
In treating the cattle, the oil i.
poured on water so as to form a COW
ering, and then the cattle are dropped
into the pool. The oil catches then
going and coming. They are dropped
in with a splash which puts them un-
der. horns and all. Some of them
come up fighting mad.
