al utility. He contributes more
toward the progress Of the coun-
try than any other animal. Du-
ring the past quarter OF n century
he has given away more than
half of his occupation to the
cause of science, scientific dis
coveries and inventors, which
are now operating in territory
that once belonged to him, yet
despite this, he has held his own
in value and is prime factor in
in the high cost of living and can
be raised in Marion County as
cheaply as anywhere in Texas
The bray of the Texas mule
| is heard around the world, for
wherever he goes he Justify
sings in unmistakable voice the
praises Of his native land. He is
the most serviceable animal on
the farm; worth in value twice
as much as the horse and six
times more than the steer and
can be raised with less cost and
trouble than either. Marion
County offers great advantages
for mule raising.
The Texas steer fills the larder
of the civilized world, provides
boots and shoes for the rich and
poor of two hemispheres and no
Texas product is 50 well and ia
vprably known. Marion County
can hold her own with any spot
for cattle raising.
| The dinner bells of the nation
ring out the praises of the Tex
as hog and he is diligently
sought after by the consumers
of both continents. AS reve-
nue. producer he undoubtedly
excels any other animal on the
globe, and enjoyes the distinction
of being the only animal that can
swell bank account by empty
ing u swill barrel. The hog is
the most prolific of all domestic
animals and has so densely popu-
lated the rural districts and his
rapid approach has so alarmed
city councils that numerous or
dinances have been passed pro
hibiting him from entering the
limits, yet when he comes to
town properly dressed and bak-
ed, this ordinance is quickly re.
pealed Marion County is one
Of the best hog producing coun.
tries that can be found any
where. Here the animal fattens
economically under natural con
ditions.
| The sheep is the greatest poll
tcian Of all animals and has
been mentioned in the platform
Of every political party. His
| flesh is the purcst Of food; his
| fleece makes the finest of raj
ment and has clothed mankind
since the creation of the world
and Notwithstanding his power
| full rival, king cotton" he has
held his own and today is worth
more on the market than at any
time during the past half cen
fury. Marion County, with her
hills and fertile bottom lands, af-
fords cheap grazing and the mild
climate is just theithing for sheep
raising and wool growing,
The Angora goat, like the
sheep, has entered every politi-
cal campaign and in number
of elections his snowy white
fleece has been the paramount
issue and has been listed in the
| tariff schedules of every nation
of the globe. He possesses three
distinct, unfailing sources of
revenue, food, clothes and re-
production. The Angora goat
yenison is of delicious flavor and
| is a popular food in the north
ern ana western states, from his
| fleece is made the mohair cloth
| which IS so popularity worn du
ring the summer months. Mr..
| u. f.. Hussey, one of our valuable
citizens, has had considerable
experience in raising these ami
mails and has ordered $50 for his
farm West of the city. He states
that their wool is worth one
third more than the sheep and
they can't be beat, even by man,
for clearing underbrush aud
is a firm believer that Marion
County affords more facilities
and is better adapted for raising
Angora goats than any spot in
| Texas.
