COTTON POISONED
All Experiment and Demonstration.
A Remarkable Difference.

On DR.. J. |. Schumpert's place near
the Fair grounds there was planted to
cotton early in the season four acres of
cotton, two of which were poisoned by
Captain Marston The cotton poisoned
and Imprisoned received the same cultie

offered test through which has been
demonstrated the difference in the
yield of the cotton poisoned and not
poisoned.
Referring, in conversation on the
streets, to this experiment, DR.. Schum-
pert stated that he has at his home the
full data of these four acres, which he
may have published There is a differ
ence of about 500 pounds more cotton
to the credit of the two acres poisoned
against the two acres Imprisoned. He
declares that this experiment and this
demonstration should be satisfactory to
all men who would profit from the adj
vantages of poison when applied intel
ligently.

The interurhan is being built by

BEEF PRICE ADVANCE.
Judge Cowan Predicts This viii

According to Judge s. II. Cowan OF
Fort Worth, says Washington spe-
cial, attorney for National Live Stock
association and the Texas Cattle Rails
ers' association, the country is con.
fronted with unheard of prices for
beef this winter. The special con-
tinues: Judge Cowan gained promi-
hence at Washington in the railway
rate law fight. He was largely instru-
mental in getting that legislation en-
acted. Judge Cowan says the cost Of
living will show continued increase
next winter and points out the cattle
market is now short million head of
cattle.
"The price of beef" he said, will
increase the coming winter to a point
now unheard of, for the demand Is
much greater than the supply"

Mansfield Enterprise: 1t is currently
reported that Mayor ]. c. Yarbrough
will shortly resign his position, and sew
eral conspicuous Sandersites are anx-
ious for the appointment to fill the va
cancy. Now in his last speech here
Governor Sanders said that he always
tried to make good appointments, but
that he always made it a rule to give
the fodder to the mule tht pulled the
plow," meaning that he always appointed
those who helped to elect him. Under
this rule, we are all awaiting to see
whom the Governor considers the
greatest donkey in town, whom he will
lead up to the fodder rack. We guess
the one with the longest ears will get
the job.

sHEEp KILLING DOCS.

The True Democrat: A farmer solved
the sheep-lSilling dog problem thus
After he had lost thirty sheep he built
in the pasture a square pen of logs and
rooted it, but he left big hole in the
middle in which he suspended part Of
sheep. Nearly every morning when
he went to the pen he found one or
more dogs in there, which he quietly put
out of business. In the course of the
winter he caught about forty dogs and
didn't lose any more sheep. Moreover,
he kept on goods terms with his neigh
bors, which is hard thing to do if you
shoot their dogs and go around Dragging
about it.
