Some so-called useful hints are
amusing, n here Is one from a
French newspaper. It Is a method of
finding the weight Of a pig without
weighing It. and this is how you pro-
coed: Take q tape or piece of string.
and take the chest measurement, then
the length OF the animal from the
shoulder to the tall. Multiply the chest
measurement by itself. then by the
length Of the body and finally by S7.5.
1he result viii give approximately the
weight Of the animal in Kilograms, For
example. II the animal is 1870 meters
around the chest and Lis meters in
length. this would give 1.S9; multiply
1.69 by LIE and we get 1.943. Finally,
multiply this number by S7.5 and we
tget l7o kiios. This will afford a pleas
ant pastime for country folk. especially
~ they try to weigh the hog alive. It
VIII be observed that the author of

IRISH POTATO SHIPMENTS.
5razos County Farmers Getting Good
Prices for spuds.

A reporter for the Eagle had the
pleasure today OF visiting the com
press where the Irish Potato growers
Of Brazos county are shipping out the
first OF this seasons crop. Il was a
busy place as wagon after wagon
drove up from the country and I'M
loaded.
The potatoes are extra fine; large,
smooth and uniform In size and color
twithstanding the very dry spring
yield Is much better than expect.
g. and all the growers are exceeding
~ well pleased
About one thousand bushels have
been brought In and are ready for
shipment. One car was loaded and
shipped out today and Mr.. F. W. Yea.
ger who has charge OF the work Of
shipping. says two more cars will be
shipped tomorrow. He says the pros
poets are good for the shipping TO con-
tinue through all OF next week
The price OF si.00 per bushei that
Is being secured. is much better than
last year. and indeed makes potato
growing very profitable as the yield is
from 30 10 100 bushels to the acre.
The crop is now OF. the land Is in
excellent condition and there is plen-
~ OF time TO raise fine crop OF cot
ton. or what would be better. good
feed crop OF some kind on the same
land.
Our farmers are learning the lesson
Of diyersifcation. they are learning
there are other things besides cotton.
and the Eagle believes we are on the
verge OF great agricultural prosperity
In Brazos county.
