KELTON

Kelton, May 1.-THE weather is
still dry in this community; rain is
needed badly. Gardens are drying up
and bad stands of cotton and corn
The oat crop will be short when a
good one is needed. There is a good
deal of corn to plant yet. The farm
ers are waiting for rain before they
finish.
The reunion of the old Confed-
crate Veterans of 1914 is numbered
with the things of the past. Jack
sonville nobly did her duty in caring
for them. Everything was well car
ried out. There was a little con-
fusion in finding their division head
quarters. All of them registered at
one place and got their reunion
badges. Heretofore all registered at
their division headquarters and many
did not know there was any division
in headquarters until the reunion was
we'll nigh over. They did not have
near enough tents to accommodate
all. They had some motor cars fixed
up to take the veterans from the sta
tion to the camp free. There was
plenty to eat that was good enough
for one. The tables would seat about
1900 a ia time and a great many did
eat that was not over fifty or sixty
years old. 1t is a shame that men
will sponge on charity of the good
people. left home on Tuesday morn

Of my old comrades and I stopped
over at Savannah and spent the night
and left on the early train the next
morning. We old Vets cannot travel
all night without being wearied and

meeting. Our county was very well
represented. l did not get to take

Spanish fort the last day but the
lateness of the parade prevented me.
We arrived in Union Saturday morn
ing and joined the rest of our Union

The memorial services were we'll
carried out. Hon. Mendel l.. Smith

talk and sumptuous dinner was
well prepared by the noble women of
Dixie, which it seemed every one en-
joyed. Long live the noble women Of

Before Grand Jury.
The grand jury proceedings are be-

Only two witnesses were sent before
that body, however, by the solicitor
these being the two witnesses to the
tragic affair, j. p. Cain, superintend.

solicitor to send any other witnesses

The defense asked that next Wed.

day was tentatively selected as tn.

the defense may later secure contin.

years was to be arraigned Yesterday
IL Is safe to say that the court room
would nave been packed.
The interest in the trial is intens,
and large crowds are expected to at
tend next week.

SHEEP FEEDING IN BARTON.

Some years ago Frank Wood, of
northeast of town, became imbued
with the idea that there was
money to be made by buying New
Mexico sheep and fattening them
for market at this place, and I'M
'dOubtedly his idea was a success
full one for he has followed the
industry each winter since that
time. AT the present time he and
his brother, John, have over eight
thousand head on feed having
purchased them some weeks ago,
and the sight of such a flock is an
interesting one to the people of
this vicinity. Moses Bros. & Clay
ton are other StOckmen who are
following along this line and are
finding it most profitable indus
try, and at the present time have
a flock of five thousand head on
their place at the east edge Of
town. With the abundance of al
falfa and other forage feeds in
. this section, and the ease with
which a large flock can be han
died, the industry of sheep feeding
promises to be one of the big win
ter industries in this section in
the future.

MAKING GOOD BEEF.

Will Stanley, of northeast of
town, one of the big cattle feeders
of this part of the state, has his
usual big bunch of fine stock out
at his place this year, and they
are a sight worth seeing for any
one who appreciates looking at a
bunch of good cattle. He now has
something over 300 head on feed,
about 225 of which are two year
old steers, and the balance cows
and calves, and all are in fine
shape and taking on fat rapidly.
The Stanley place is ideally To-
Gated for a feeding establishment
being situated on the south side
of the creek where it is protect
ed by the timber from the storms,
and everything about the place is
fixed in fine shape. The pens are
commodiouS and substantial, and
the feeding troughS are located
so that all of the feeding can be
done from outside of the yards
so that the stock will not be dis
| turbed. He has two big SilOS on
his farms, one with capacity Of
400 tons and the other of $50 tons
and both are filled with good corn
and cane Silage. Each animal re-
ceiveS about 80 pounds of the
Silage per day, and also about two
pounds of cottOnSeed meal and
molaSSeS cake, and also all Of the
good alfalfa and fodder they will
clean up, and on this ration they
are putting on fat in good shape
The steers have now been in the
feed lots a little over two weeks
having been on the pasture al
summer. AT the time of beini
put on feed their average weigh
: was SS6 pounds, and by the frs
of the year Mr.. Stanley expects t,
have them weighing cOnSiderabl,
f over 100 pounds each, and the,
/ will be sent to market at that tim
S if the price is right; if not the,
v will be fed until along in Febru
4 ary. Mr.. Stanley has been unit
: lately one of the big wheat far
: merS of the county, but he ha
e now quit this part of the farmin
t industry and devoteS all of his al
tentiOn to the stock business an,
t believes it will prove to be a sure
9 income producer than grain farm
}, ing. Almost all of his land is pu
4 into corn and feed this year an,
f the most of this is turned into en-
: Silage and then fed, and the Out
e come so far has been much NOR
e profitable than wheat farming
: One of the important points in cal
e tie feeding is to always have
n good supply of water, and MI
f Stanley has provided for this b,
: having two storage tanks with
n combined capacity of about 80,
h 900 gallons, so that should any
: thing go wrong with the pump
g he will have an abundant suppl
: for several days. 1t is an interest
n ing sight to see this beef pre-
ducing plant and is we'll wort
anyone's time.

Grand total 1890
The beetS were sold for s. per
ton, and on basis of nineteen tons
to the acre, although The yield
was a trifle larger than that, the
gross receipts for the beets were
$95 per acre, and deducting the
$33.2O expense, leaves the neat
profit of $62.SO per acre. And this
without taking into consideration
too, the fact that the tops of the
beetS are worth a good deal for
feed, and were utilized for that
purpose at the Fort Larned ranch.
1t will be seen that the $62.S0 per
acre net profit will almost pay
two-thirdS of the cost of the land
on a single crop.
