II would be safe to say that every
farmer who raised hogs in 1907
made good money.--Hereford Brand,
Every observing man who has
thought much about Panhandle pos
sibilites has come to the conclusion
that hogs thrive better there than
In any other part Of Texas. One
proof OF this, aside from the figures
furnished by the Brand, is the con-
stantly growing receipts OF hogs
the Fort Worth q Denver road to
the local packing houses. While
other roads have shown a lessenlng
of hog tonnage for the year 1907,
the Denver exhibits substantial
gain, Receipts OF marketable hogs
do not double up from country
where conditions are unfavorable
for their production Tho ponbor-
die has all the basic elements for the
production OF hogs in unlimited
quantities-vlrgln soil, salubrlous
climate, pure water a succession Of
succulent forage and grain, Of all
varieties. The Panhandle farmer
who does not have hog surplush to
dispose OF in 1905 will miss fine
