Home Boys Making Good.

The Healdton, Ranger Oil Company
composed of Fred Williams, Ed Sand
lin, Henry Pennington and other Carter
county people, owning $50 acres oil
leases in Texas, has given drilling
contract covering 50 acres in Eastand
county to the Drillers Oil < Gas Com
pany. The company's first we'll had a
sand ut | 500 feet that would make ~
barrels and the well Is now drilling at
something like $500 feet. This test Is
near the Perkins well which came in
at from 5000 to $4,000 barrels. and other
big wells are located near by. The
shallow sand makes the test more inter
esting and the local boys are very hope
full of Il big strike. The remainder OF
the acreage owned by these people Is
located near Cisco.

LIVE STOCK AFTER THE WAR

II s estimated that Europe's supply
OF domestic animals has been reduced
by one hundred million in the past
five years; but Americas supply has
slightly increased. For years to come
Europe will be obliged to come to
America both for breeding stock and
for meat, and this factor alone will
keep the price of stock and of meat
at a high level. But that will not OF
itself suffice to make the live stock
industry profitable in America.
When cattle, sheep and hogs picked
their living from wild land. their sale
| price was almost clear profit. Today
the land that produces butter, cheese
and meat is selling at from one to
three hundred dollars an acre. The
COW that occupies two acres of this
valuable land has a land rem bill TO
pay of about thirty dollars a year with
something added for the tax collector.
The fat steer that occupies this land
for two years must be of extra quail
ity, IL he pays his rent and a profit
beside. II he takes four years to
make his beef, as his forbears did for
ty years ago, he is a hopeless bank
rupt before ever he reaches the mar
ke.
An, nrina a nm InnUnr offnrd m
raise scrub animals. II has been
proved that the half-breed beef ami
NAL will make the same weight in
three years that the scrub does in
four; and that certain early maturing
varieties of pure bred beef cattle will
cut a year off that. The shorter the
life term OF the beef animal, the
smaller the rent bill. Baby beef is
now sought instead of the Ok beef of
our fathers.
The same principle applies to the
cow that produces but little milk.
The dairy COW must pay in milk for
bran at forty dollars a ton, as against
the same feed at eight dollars in our
fathers day. Scrub stock is too poor
to pay this price for board, nor a
every cow called pure bred" do it.
The raising of profitable live stock
today is a matter not only of good
blood, but Of good management and
good judgment.
The American horse industry is in
a similar condition. The war took an
enormous number of horses that
would have been Improbable for any
other purpose. The typical artillery
and cavalry horse cannot be raised at
a profit on two hundred dollar land,
and i'm times of peace a few animals
of this type fill the normal demand.
A few we'll bred light horses will al
way be needed, but the horse of the
immediate future, and the one that
seems to be the most permanent type
Is the well set up animal weighing
from sixteen hundred to two thousand
pounds. Such horses may be raised
by horse-wise men at a profit on the
most valuable farm lands So may
baby beef, and the big producing COW,
and the model lard and bacon hog
and the ideal dual purpose sheep. But
all these profitable animals have long
pedigrees as well as long values. The
days OF the nondescript. accidental
domestic animal are over, and the war
has had its part in ending them.
