Freight Wreck.

One of the worst wrecks in
the history of the Shreveport
Division of the Katy occurred
two miless East of Hughes
Springs about & o'clock Friday
evening August 23rd when II
freight cars, eight loaded and
six empty went into the ditch,
The track was torn up for a dis
lance of about 400 feet. Three
of the cars were so badly torn
up that they were burned
Car repairer Il. l.. Wilson with
his wrecking crew had the track
cleared by 1890 that night and
Road Master d. Taylor had the
track relaid by $50 next morn
ing. The wrecking crew from
Greenville came down Saturday
to assist in picking up the wreck
ed cars. Conductor Burt Spauld

Owner In Amount Of Pork Yielded.
The results OF different treatments
Of hogs came to my notice last spring,
when neighbor sold two average pigs

These two pigs dressed between 80
and 175 pounds each when about seven
months old
The pigs that had not been sold and
out OF the same litter were allowed TO
run on pasture. and WHEN corn was
ready to feed they were fed enough
corn to put them In pork condition.
but when slaughtered at about the
same time as the other two they only
weighed si1ty-iive to seventy pounds
each There was IA difference OF nearly
100 pounds between these we'll fed
hogs and their mates not so fed, and
1t was wholly due to different treat
ments. 1t f. easy to SEQ which was the
more economical pork producer-the
well cared for hog or the one which
got enough feed to barely live until
fattening TIME The difference In value
was almost SO, as pork sold at 10
cents pound here last fall. The two
well cared for hogs did not eat near
SO worth OF feed from the time they
they were slaughtered

There is fine showing for oil

These Powerful Factors in En-.
pite Building Active in
Texas.

The greatest achievement in hui
man life is 10 raise child. We
have in Texas approximately one
million children under seven years
Of age and one million of scholastic
age.
The stork is a popular bird
among Texans. We have the larg-
est families of any State in the IN
ION, and there is a child born every
Tour minutes in Texas. There are
10000 births and 1874 deaths
per annum.
The stork is a splendid bird. but
too slow for development work. 1t
would take it two generations to
Double our population. 1t must be
said, however. to the credit of our
Legislatures, that so far they have
never attempted to regulate or re-
strain the flight of the stork.
Our immigration agents travel
more rapidly than the stork. There
are $4,000 people moving to Texas
annually who remain here perlna-
aently, and these people bring with
.hem Sl99, 100000.
The immigration agent as a de-
aehper, has many advantages over
The stork. The natural born citizen
brings no property into the State;
n fact, We have just seen that 80
Der cent of our native citizens leave
he State and take property away
With them. 1t is II or Is years be-
'ors child becomes revenue pro-
duceY, and during this time he is
M expense; but when the immigra-
Ion agent moves people into the
State, they bring property with them
md they immediately become reve-
lue producers. We must look to the
immigration agent to rapidly in
'reAse our population and wealth.
The immigration agent selects
The very best citizens on the globe
men who have the business ability
% soc our remarkable opportunities
or Development and the courage to
take advantage of them, while the
'tork works Unfortunately: and
when We lock oyer the State and see
So OF our native citizens leaving the
State each day, taking property away
with them, as well as failing to take
advantage of our magnificent oppor-
tunities. one is inclined to excIaim
what foolish bird"

A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin Of q Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.

Nine master masons who We're en-
gagged in building a citadel in the time
OF the VoivOid Neagoe found on re-
turning to their work each morning
that the portion of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
en- to pieces during the night and was
lying In heap Of ruins In the ditch
Manol Of Curtea, the head mason, In
formed his comrades one morning that
q voice from heaven had warned him
In his sleep the night before that their
labors would continue to come to
naught unless they all swore on that
very morning to immune In the struc-
ture the first woman, be 1t wife. moth
er, daughter or sister. who should ar
rive with the morning meal of one or
either Of them. They all took the oath,
and the last man had hardly been
sworn when Manors own wife appear
ed, carrying her husbands breakfast
The oath was kept. and the woman,
known In the legend as Flora of the
Fields" was murdered and her blood
and flesh incorporated with the wall Of
masonry.
A curious practice Of the bulgarian
masous Uhe above scene is laid in Bull
garia), which survives to this day. tes-
titles to the vitality OF the legend. To
insure the solidity OF the house they
build they measure with a reed the
shadow OF the first person who passes
after the digging Of the foundation
has been completed. When the foun
dation is commenced this reed Is buried
under the first rock. usually the corner

beet pulp, especially when fresh roots
were not available. Her grain ration
from the first was gradually increased
10 twenty-five pounds or little more.
but later reduced TO as low as nine
pounds per day
As near as can be estimated. the av-
erage amount of grain fed was twelve
or fourteen pounds daily She also re
ceived, when ii was available. green
corn with the stalks and also green
clover and any other green feed that
might be available including feed
from the pasture.
A COW Of fair qualities produces four
gallons of milk daily. She IS not worth
keeping for a dairy unless she will do
this, and remember 1t takes no more
feed, room or labor for one giving five
gallons than for one giving three or
four
This reasoning applies with equal
force to other kinds Of stock. but more
particularly horses and swine 1t re-
quires only little intelligent care In
selection to raise a horse that will bring
$3.50 to $500. whereas $50 to 5000 Is
the price OF an ordinary animal The
feed blu Is not a dollar more.
In raising cows breeding and selec-
don will produce animals that will
earn 500 to $50 Il year or that will
sell for 500 to $500. while the indif
ferent kind are worth next to nothing
There is the same difference I'm breed
ing hogs. The gain comes chiefly after
the owner has produced something a
little better than ordinary This truism
generally.

The Crop Failed.

The sharp wittedness OF the Rus
sian gypsies Is illustrated by story
told In the Journal Of the Gypsy Lore
Society. A gypsy induced farmer to
Join him In sowing money. promising
a large crop Of rubles. Having first
sown comparatively small amount,
they got back each morning their cap
ital with some addition. much to the
delight OF the farmer. Then they SOW
ed big sum and got back-nothlng.
The farmer began to blame the gypsy
for advising him to SOW money. The
gypsy answered. "Well. it's nobody's
fault that there was u sharp frost ear
ly this morning
