Special Election.

The special session of the leg
islature, called by the Governor
to meet on the 10Th instant, rem
dered it necessary that a repre-
sentative be elected from this
district to fill out the unexpired
term of ]. r. Bowman, resigned.
Following the Governors proc
lamation to that effect, | have
called a speciol election to be
held at all the voting precincts
in Randall County, on the same
date as the paimary elections
are to be held, and the regular
election officers of each precinct
have been instructed to hold
said election. This election must
be held, and the returns made
distinct and separate from the
primaries. All legally qualified
voters, regardless of political af-
filiation will be entitled to vote
at said special election.
The candidates who have so
far filed their names with me to
be placed on the ballots, are the
four democratic candidates who
are running before the primaries
and | presume there will be no
others. The tickets will be
printed and all supplies sent to
the presiding officers at once.
If for any reason the presid-
ing officer, appointed by the
Commissioners Court, fails to
appear on the morning of the
election, or is by any means dis
qualified. then the electors pres
ent should elect a presiding of
ficer. A. n. HENSON.

M. n. Gallagher who has for
the past three months been visit
ing in the southern part of Texas
near San Angelo, reports that
the weather in that section has
been very hot and dry, and the
prospects for crop is not very
promising. He thinks that Ran

He seems to think that the crop
prospects here are the best that
has been for the past four years.

George Reynolds had quite an
experience last Saturday even
ing as he was returning from his
farm southwest from Canyon.
When about five miles out and as
he was driving leisurly along,
the wind blew with such a for
ceso as to turn the buggy over
in which he was riding. George
held the team but the buggy
was damaged some and he was
bruised a little. Georgethought
he sailed like a bi-plane as high
as the telephone pole. 1t was
fortunate for George that the
team did not run away.

COWS, it was discovered that the
best COW in the herd, which held
her place in the herd for four
years, gave three times as much
milk as the poorest COW in each
of the seasons, and that it cost
one tenth more to feed her than
it did to feed the poorest COW.
The lowest cost at which the
! station carried any COW through
the year, for feed alone was
$47.5O. Cows are kept a little
less ($41.OO) at the MINNESOTA
station. And ge here in the
Panhandle of Texas, can keep a
COW for year for $31.00 if we
purchase all of the feed or actual
outlay if we raise it, S14.00.
Thus you will notice that we can
keep a COW much cheaper here
than is done at any of the sta
tions named.
By comparing these figures
with any other portions of Tex
as, for that matter, we find the
odds decidedly in favor of this
country for dairying purposes.
Sorghum is the best and cheap
est forage crop that can be pro
duced for dairy cows. Every
body. acquainted with this por-
tion of Texas, knows that no
other portion of the State will
produce this crop of a quality
that is not excelled anywhere,
it is first class. The reasons for
this may be attributed to the
climBtic conditions which are on
account of high altitude. When
it is made in the lower portions
of the state, on account of the
moist conditions of the atmOS-
phere, it does not keep well,
whereas in the high altitude it
can be put up properly either
during the supmer or in the
fall and it makes a fine forage
feed till another crop is raised
and harvested.
Then again, in making com
parsons with the other places
named and in other portions of
Texas, we find that this country
has a much better climate for
dairying than any of the local.
ties in the states we have men,
toned, as we have not the wet,
cold, chilly winters which are so
greatly disliked by all dairymen,
nor the sultry, hot, oppressive
summers. We have the finest
alfalfa hay grown, We can grow
all of the feed they do, besides
our crops of sorghum, katfir
corn and milo maize make better
fall and winter pastures.
1t has been stated a number of
times that we have better eli
mate, and better and more feed
than is produced in the Elgin-
Illinois district where the land is
rated as worth at $4,000 per
acre. While we can keep cow
much cheaper here than at any
of the places named, but when a
COW produces less than 140
pounds of butter fat at prices it
brings here, is nothing more
than a manure factory, and
should go to the butcher.

The National Education Convention Held in
Boston Last Week. Over 10000
Teachers in Attendance.

Convention was held on Satur-
day. This was the meeting of
the National Council of Educa-
tiOn, which is the general advis-
ory body for the National Asso-
citation, and these meetings we're
held in the old historic South
Church in Copley square, three
sessions held daily.
The first regular session was
held Monday, when some 10000
delegates or more, will register
and be assigned lodging quar-
ters and perhaps as many more
will arrive by the middle of the
week.
Among those most prominent
60 arrive first were President
James Y. Joyner, of Raleigh, n.
c.; Secretary Irwin Shepard, of
WinOna, Mimi; Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, of Chicago; Gov. VIM. w.
Kitchin, of North Carolina.
Something of the size of the
convention may be gathered
from these figures: When the
first days arrival of delegates
and educators were estimated at
ZOO, and it is also expected on
the second day when President
VIM. III. Taft speaks of the
Howard Stadium $4,000 to be
in attendance.
Seperate meetings to be held
during the convention week will
be 75, and the number of halls
and churches that will be used to
hold these sessions in requires
30. Several informal receptions
were held on the first days, and
at places of public interest, spec
ial efforts we're made to take care
/ of association visitors. Mayor
Fitzgerald issued an appeal to
be mindful of courtesies to all of
the visitors.
On the second day and imme-
diately following the formal
opening of the convention of the
National Education Association
at the Harvard Studium the gen.
eral business began.
One of the chief interest of the
active members which developed
at the second days session was
centered in the election of officers
for the nomination of whom a
committee representing the va
riouS states was appointed, and
this nominating committee is to
meet in assembly hall of the
Parish house of Trinity church
on Thursday morning, while the
annual election and business
meeting will be held in Old South
church at noon of the same day.
Candidates. were discussed
early with some vigor, much of
the partizanship being along
geographical lines. Illinois was
strongly backing the candidacy
of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, the
&c hicago superintendent of
schools for the presidency. For
a while the opposition had not
been able to determine upon a
candidate upon which to unite.
DR.. z. X. Snyder, of Greedy
Colo, president of the State Nor
NAL school, was mentioned as a
possible candidate of the Ma
chine" faction, who was opposed
to the independents.
Superintendent Ben Bleewelt
of st. Louis, Mo, who was de-
feated for presidency at the last
election by President Joyner,
was another prospect. On Tues
day President Taft delivered an
address before $4,000 people in
the Howard Stadium. His sub
ject was, The Relations of Ed
ucation to Democratic Govern
ments. He dwelt particularly
to this governments policy In
the Philippines which he declar-
ed was not in varrience with the

The Dairy Industry Of the United States.

book of the Department of Agri-
culture, there were 81, 720, 900
miclh cows in the United States,
and these are worth 1902 ,945, 900
The magnitude of the industry
can perhaps be best understood
when it is considered that these
cows produce yearly about ST.
OOO,O 10000 worth of dairy pro-
ducts.
There is no other branch of
diversified agriculture so impOr-
tant to the progress of commu-
nifty. The fertility of the soil
can best be maintained by the
liberal use of the barnyard man
ure and the dairy herd not only
makes this possible, but dairy
ing is also more remunerative
than other branches of farming
when properly carried on.
Dairying has made more Won
derful progress since the advent
of the modern creamery and the
consumer of butter has not only
been benifitted by being furnish
ed a more wholesome and pala-
table article of food, but the wife
in the farm home has been re-
heved of the drugery incident to
making butter on the farm.
Where formerly the cream was
ripened and churned into butter
ander conditions not conductive
to fine quality in the finished pro
duct and in the majority of cases
by unskilled hands, now the
most of the milk or cream is de
livered to modern creamery
where conditions are suitable to
this purpose of making butter,
and the result has been a won
derful improvement in the quail
ty of our dairy products. AS
the quality has improved con-
sumption has increased and the
progress of dairying has been
remarkable in the last decade.
The perpetuity of the country's
greatness depends upon increas-
ing the production of farm pro-
ducts from year to year, a re-
suit which not only furnishes
our people with food but main
tains the prosperity of our farm.
ing communities. Increase in
production can only ceme thru
improved methods of agriculture
and soil Improvement When it
is considered that the dairy COW
is the foundation for soil improv-
ment and farming prosperity,
her Importance is best under
stood, and interest in her
should not be confined to her
owner. She is an important fac
tor in the development and pros
perity of our country.
PANHANDLE AS DAIRY COUNTRY.
How much does it cost in the
Panhandle to feed COW one year?
tons sorghum, $500, 1000
pounds corn, $500, LOCO pounds
cotton seed, $500; total, 3l.00,
if you buy all the feed.
If a farmer will plant one acre
in sorghum and one acre in corn
and add to this the seed from
one bale of cotton, he will have
sufficient feed to keep a COW one
year. His actual outlay will be
$500 for rent and $500 for cot
ton seed, or a total of $14.00. A
Jersey COW ought to produce, at
very low figure, $4,000 worth
of cream per year. Add to this
the average value of calf at one
year old, and you have a total of
$1,000, leaving net profit, if you
buy all the fead, of $500, and
if you raise the feed, you will
have a profit of 500.

by Professor Hacker of Min
niesota, it takes forty-one dollars
