awaken its latent ability among
its farmers is an object lesson
presented in a practical way by
a practical man. Every county
and, indeed, every township
should have a demonstration or
object lesson farm on which pork
making should be thoroughly ex-
plotted in connection with mixed
farming. Boards of agriculture
and Experiment Stations should
co operate in establishing such
farms. Railroads and other
large corporations could and
should be interested in such a
movement.
Hogs are waste savers. A
farm without hogs has many
leaks.
The fall litter should come in
early September, if possible;
therefore the sows should be
bred in May.
Do not put the other stock in
the pig pasture.
Cattle donot relish eating after
pigs, and colts are apt to injure
hogs by chasing them.
Look out for creep holes; the
little pigs will find them.
Fortify your wire fence by
placing boards around the bot
tom. The tighter these fit to
the ground the better.
Swine learn bad habits easily,
and are very cute.

Baptist Baracas Entertain Philatheas.

Last Monday night the young
men of the Baptist Baraca Glass
entertained the Philathea Glass
of the same Sunday School at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. r.
Johnson on West Evelyn Street.
About fifty of the jolly young
people were present and engag-
ed in interesting and laughable
games of various sorts. During
the evening music both vocal and
instrumental was rendered by
some of the tanented members.
The rooms were decorated III
blue and white which is National
Baraca colors while upon the
walls large pennants of both the
classes were pinned. Refresh
ments, consisting of cream and
cake were served. Everyone
left as the late hours came eX-
pressing themselves as having
had very enjoyable time.

J. E. Rogers Writes

A letter written at Belleville,
H., by a former citizen j. E.
Rogers, in which he writes as
follows, We arrived at this
place which was our destination,
we found the country covered
with blanket of snow, ice and
very cold inclement weather,
which continued for several days
after our arrival. The estimated
damage done to small fruit and
grain crops here can hardly be
estimated. When the freezing
weather was on, it made it very
discouraging for a native of Ran
dali County, Texas. For when l
left the Panhandle country it
was very fine, and all that any
person could wish. | have been
here about two weeks, and the
weather is changing rapidly to
warm sultry weather and if it
continues, perhaps it will give
US a hot time in the old town.
/ expect to leave here next
Monday for Nueces Valley, via
Houston, Texas, / expect to close
out all of our land this trip.
When / will start for home, Ran
dali county, Texas, and devote
all of my time to the cause of
selling "Elkhart Autos"

Stock Farming in the Panhandle.

The Panhandle has been Justly
termed the paradise of the
stockman.' Here nature seems
to have conspired for the enrich
ing of the cattle and hog raiser,
furnishing the most nutritious
grasses for the growing of stock
and feed for the finishing of cat
tie and hogs at the lowest cost
of production, together with the
most favorable climatic condi-
tons.
Disease among cattle is rarely
found, and hogs have never been
known to die of cholera. The
present grade of hogs and cattle
now to be found in the Panhan-
die cannot be excelled in the
United States.
A further advantage to be
found here in the raising of hogs
is the value of alfalfa meadows
for grazing during the winter
and early spring. Hogs will do
well on alfalfa the year round
and when finished off on feed
stuffs, such as milo make, kaffir
corn and Indian corn, top the
market.
Notwithstanding it's many nat,
ural advantages for pork pro-
duction, Texas imports or buys
a considerable percentage of the
porcine meat which it uses. 1t
does not so much matter that
Texas spends it's good native
money outside it's own borders
that is commercially permissible
and even wise in a public; the
trouble is that Texas fails of it's
proper agricultural development
by indifference to pork produc-
tion.
An abundance of cheaply and
easily grown feeds, plenty of
fresh pure water, and outdoor
weather during most of the year
make most of the agricultural
Texas quite an ideal country in
which to produce a superior
quality of pork. Not only should
this section produce every pound
of it's own swine meat, but it
should have pork to sell. 1t
should have a large surplus each
year.
1t is so easy to make a living
in country blessed with natural
advantages that the mass of far
mers in Texas do not make the
most of their opportunities.
While many of them are convin-
ced that they could make money
raising hogs, they are getting
along without going into the
business, and SO long as well
enough" satisfies they are not
likely to try new systems unless
energetic means are employed to
interest them. II is not enough
to prove to man, by use of tig-
ures and wordy arguments,
that he can make production pay
handsomely; nothing less than
object lessons will move him.
Show him how, put the evidence
before him, and he will inwardly
resolve to try it.

Austin. Texas to Rebuild Dam.

I
Word comes to US of gigan-
tic undertaking to harness the
Giant Dam to be constructed
across the Colorado river at that
place, work to commence at
once for million. dollar improv-
ment, which is to pay for itself
out of the earnings, thus avoid
ing bonds or taxation. The tur.
bine engines to be installed to
supply city with 5000 horse
power free. Austin citizens are
with this improvement, as they
were with the state capital, it
was done without cost to the tax
payer, it is good system if it
can be worked, with these citizens
it has worked. Now the citizens
are looking forward to the com
pletion of this reconstructed
Colorado river dam, which is
promised within two years, as
a result of the recent vote ratify-
ing the contract.
The proposed structure is to
be of steel and concrete utilizing
what is left of the old dam. 1t
will be 1896 feet in length and
will raise to the heighth of 65 #.
above the low water. 1t will be
provided with sluce gates suf.
ficient to accommodate the entire
flow of the river. Turbines for
generating electric power will be
installed in the body of the dam.
The contract with the Dumont-
Holmes Steel Concrete Co. of
Chicago provides that minium
of 1000 horsepower is to be
maintained at all times, for the
contracting company is to
operate the plant without extra
costs to the city for a period of
20 years, and that all power de-
veloped up to 5000 horsepower,
shall belong to the city. This
will obviate the necessity of
operating the present municipal
power and pumping plant, and
thus saving to the city on the
item of fuel, labor, etc, will be
sufficient to cover the semi-an-
nual payment on the cost price
of the dam.
In other words, the dam is to
be paid for out of it own earn
ings for water, light, and power
service, and not by taxation or
the issuance of bond. A 6,000,-
900 gallon reservoir and filter
ing bed will be constructed
among the hills near by, at a
heighth of 315 feet above the
city from which the water sup
ply will be derived. The former
structure, that was washed
away, was begun in 1890 and
finished in 1893, was built of
granite blocks and limestone
and cost, including powerhouse
and other improvements, ap-
proximately S1,500,000 and was
washed away in 1900.

Turpentine Makers Advocate New Methods.

TEN of turpentining, which ha:
been so destructive of the pine
forests of the South, the much
injurious cup and gutter or cur
and apron system, are evidenced
in resolutions recently adopted
by the executive committee of
the Consolidated Naval Stores
Company, representative as
sociation of naval stores produc.
ers. The resolutions we're as
follows:
Whereas, the experiment made
by the United States Govern.
ment, as is shown by the various
bulletins from the Bureau of
Forestry, as well as the expert
ments of individuals, and the
practical results obtained by the
large number of operators, it
appears that the use of cups in
the gathering of crude gum
yields much larger results in
quantity of spirits of turpentine
produced, and very great in
crease of the grades of rosin, as
compared with the old system of
boxing; and,
Whereas, it appears that the
use of cups is to the interest of
producer and factor, tending to
increase and perpetuate the life
of an industry in which we are
engaged, and to the general good
and upbuilding of which we
pledge our hearty support;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
we, 2he members of the Execu.
tive Committee of the Consoli.
dated Naval Stores Company
pledge ourselves to use every in
fuence at our respective COM
mands toward bringing about as
near as possible the universal
use of cups as against boves in
the production of naval stores.
Resolved further, that we now
declare it to be the policy of the
Consolidated Naval Stores Com
pany to look with disfavor Oh the
boxing of any timber for turpen-
tine purposes in which the Con-
solidated Naval Stores Company
owns any interest.
The Department of Agricul-
ture has established, by expert
ments- that the cup and gutter
system of deriving naval stores
ID yields 30 per cent more pro-
duct than the ancient method;
(2) does not so weaken the trees
physically that they are in dan
ger of being wind thrown; and
(3) leaves the timber in thrifty
condition because it has not been
severely injured by box cutting.
Naval stores production is now
confined almost entirely to the
South Atlantic and Gulf States
chiefly to Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
eastern Texas. with very little
coming from the last-named
State. Southeastern Virginia,
eastern North Carolina and
South Carolina originally yielded
this country's supply. The cen
ter then moved farther South
and long remained in Geogia.
Today the center is in Florida.
Experience of the last half cent
ury has clearly shown in the
case of Virginia, the Carolinas,
and Geogia, that so wasteful and
severely injurious system of
turpentining as the ancient box
method results in eXhausting
the producing forest at such a
rapid rate and in such a short
period as to preclude all posi-
bility of a permanent production
of naval stores under that sys-
tenn in any given religion. Under
so short-sighted a policy and
system, continuance of the in
dustry is clearly question, not
of establishing permanent pro-
duction throughout the regular
ly maintained forest country, as
is the case of wheat and other
