midst of the best COW country in the
world many farmers do without milk
or use the canned sort The cross
roads stores are warehouses full of
canned goods of all sorts. A few
cows and few pigs and a few chick
ems would flourish on what is now
wasted on each farm, and the profit
would build and paint and fence the
home plant. The odd part is that
they all seem to know these things.

And what's the difference? We're

by HERBERT COREY.

WICHITA FALLS, Tex. September
22.-'There are two automobiles to
every hog on the farms of this
county"
The shiftIess cusses! That is the
first thought in the mind of the east
ern man who hears so surprising
statement. He Immediately has a
ing into town, hanging their legs out
of iitneys. to arrange for another
loan at the bank SO they can con-
tinue their careers of extravaganza.
He sees them in his minds eye clap
ping another mortgage on the south
forty" SO they can buy a car with
glass windows.
You've been riding around through
this country" said the Texas farmer
who gave me the unofficial census of
automobiles VS.. hogs. How many
cows have you seen on the. farms?
Or chickens?"
Not very many"

But the farmers daughters all
wear silk stockings"
That is true. too. In most states
tHe uduSuteT is sweet anu
wholesome, but she is apt to wear
cotton stockings and what a stage
manager would call practicable"
clothes. Down here in Texas she
seems to get her sartorial hints right
from the Rue de la Paix. Her pumps
are long and narrow and high-heeled,
and her waists are transparent Yet
her shoulders are not sunburned.
Her hats look up to date to me,
too. Not being an expert. 1 cannot
speak with authority, but they look
like the same sort of hats that
come one in a box on 5th avenue.
Last Sunday I rode past a country
church just at the end Of services.
and the young ladies who were
emerging would have passed muster
in any summer resort.
"The Texan farmer is mighty proud
Of his girls" said my companion. He
dresses them we'll"
How They Can Do It.
To dress well nowadays one must
have plenty of money, yet the Texas
livestock which are sure-fire money
makers. The explanation seems to be
that it is so easy to make money on a
Texas farm nowadays that the farm
er does not watch the little things.
The cotton crop-if he makes but half
u Odl0"HclS hin 90 10 Tie acre. onc

or 5.120 acres. Land in his county Is
worth about $S5 an acre, but his prof
its for three years have averaged $21
net.
"I bought an eighty-acre farm for
$50 an acre." said one man. Il was
obliged to hire all my labor, for I
do not live on the farm. This year /
netted $4,000 on sixty acres of wheat"
Then he did what the other Texan
farmers do not do. He tied a wagon
to the rear of his automobile and
skirmished the country for pigs. Here
and there he found one on the farm of
some old-fashioned man who still pre-
fers to cure his own meat rather than
buy it at a country store. He turned
the pigs on the wheat stubble, where
they fattened themselves. The only
corn he fed them was just enough to
teach them to come to the house for
water-just to gentle them, he ex-
planned. But his net profit was $3.50 on
that little jag of hogs"

Sheep Do Well.

Sheep do well, too. Once the only
sheep to be found in Texas were the
Mexicans. which were worth two OF
three dollars a head when they had
been driven as far north as Wyo-
ming. Nowadays the few Texas
farmers who raise sheep go in for
the better breeds. They are justified
in this. for there are instances of $4,000
being netted last year on fiocks Of
100 sheep. Wool brought fifty cents
a pound and lambs were sold to the
packing houses at sixteen to twenty
cents a pound. They usually averaged
about eighty pounds and down.
Yet there are few good looking
farms in this part of Texas. The land
is rich-almost inexhaustible-ant
in the black waxy belt sells as high
as $500 an acre. But the houses are
small. Sometimes they are mere
shacks. Their surroundings remind
one of the cattle ranch of bygone
days. An old wagon or buggy is
sheltered under a jack oak in the
yard, the lawn is a mixture Of bare
spots and ragweed. and the stables
are tumbie-down affairs. The Texas
roads are poor. too, and one ap-
proaches a bridge with circumspec-

About Cows and Milk.

Another man told me that he kept a
couple of cows. He proposed to keep
on keeping cows, though his wife was
worried nearly to death by her neigh
bors coming over every now and then
to buy a teacupfu1 of milk. Some
times the neighbors drove downtown
to the movies. Then they bought no
milk. Yet cows are easily kept in
Texas. 1t used to be the greatest
cow state of them all, you know
Like all COW states. the COW was re-
garded only as the potential mother
of more cows. The typical cowman
never MIXED. Hence milk now sells
at 81 a gallon in Wichita Falls, and
buttermilk at so cents a gallon.
Pigs do well here. too. Cholera has
never been heard of in these parts.
Maize and kaff1r corn and the other
crops which put the luscious lard on
piggie's ribs flourish here like the
bay tree. About all the farmer has to
door all that he seems to do, at
least-is to break the ground, stick
the seed in and scratch it a couple of
times during the season. Ultimately
he harvests its richness. Then he
could, If he would, feed it to pigs
The stubblefields on the wheat farms
would fatten hogs. The winter is SO
mild that piggie rustles for himself
nine months in the year, but the
Texas farmer rarely has a pig herd.
He prefers to buy his pork at Kan
sas City and Chicago packing house
prices.
