FEEDING PANHANDLE CALVES.
A Fair Feeder Will Take a4oo-lb
Calí and in Seven Months
Double Its Weight.
Judge O. H. Nelson, who has had
much experience with Eastern feeders
in handling Panhandle calves, has
the following to say on the subject
which is of very general interest :
Experience of corn belt feeders
who have finished Panhandle calves
and yearlings has been uniformly
satistactory. The business is in its
initial stage as,the future market of
the North Texas breeders will be in
the territory east of the Missouri
river, instead of west of that stream.
There are good reasons why these
well-bred youngsters can be more
profitably handlded than aged stuff
of inferior quality, but it must be
done intelligently. In the first place
they must be in good flesh when pur-
chased. The calf taken from its
dam at weaning time retains its milk
fat and has never been stunted, con-
sequently it is the most profitable
animal of the feeder. These calves,
taken in October and November, can
be well wintered and put on full feed
the following summer, going to mar-
ket at 14 or 15 months old, weighing
879 to 1,000 pounds and score maxi-
mum results for the feeder.
A fair feeder will take, a 400
pound calf and in seven months dou-
ble its weight. A good feeder will
do better than that. A grown steer
will consume at least half a
tie and they will'be made better
right along, a growing feed-lot
demand being the inducement.—

Citizens' Meeting.
At 11 o'clock sharp Tuesday
morning, a large delegation of the
subscribers to the gin company met
at the court house and elected di-
rectors for the ensuing year. The
very best of feeling prevailed and
there was no difficulty in finding men
in whose hands all were willing to
place the destiny of Hereford's first
cotton gin.
The following were unanimously
elected; D. R. Gass, G. L. Abbott,
T. J. Graves, F. Herrón and C. S.
Garrison. After the meeting had
adjourned, the board held a session
and elected D. R. Gass, president;
G. L. Abbott, vice-president and
general manager; T. J. Graves,
secretary and treasurer.
As yet it has not been definitely
decided for what amount the com-
pany will capitalize, but the matter
will be disposed of right away and
then a charter will be applied for.
A Dead Town.
Following is Rev. R. H. H. Bur-
nett's idea of what it takes to con-
stitute a dead town:
A town that never has anything
to do in a public way is on the road
to the cemetery. Any citizen who
will do nothing for his town is help-
.. t0 the grave. A man that
bushel I"cuss" his town furnishes the
of corn each day on full feed ; a calf co^n- The one who is so selfish as
seven months old will not eat more |t0 ^ave no *ime ^rom his business to
than a peck. An aged steer, on I g¡ve t0 cltY affairs 13 making th<4
which tne feeder has placed 300
pounds added weight will have eaten

double what the calf has to secure
the same gain.
Calf feeders are the only ones in
the business during the past two
years who have made a dollar.
• Last year 30,000 Panhandle
calves, yearlings and two-year-olds
were sent into feed lots east of the
Missouri river. This year the num-
ber will be increased. Once the
feeder makes a test with these cattle
he becomes firmly wedded to the
idea. When ready they are the
stock that enjoys competition in
stock yard circles. Heavy cattle,
even if choice, are not always popu-
lar with buyers, but handy-weight
stuff provided the necessary quality
is there always fill the bill. This
week on the Chicago market, buyers
have traversed the alleys with orders
for fat yearlings that they could not
fill, simply because the stuff was not
there.
Of course, these Pannandle cattle,
while good, are open to improvement.
As the demand increases, they will
be made better. Hereafter the crop
will be dehorned and the heifers
speyed. Hundreds of small ranch-
men are going into north Texas and
beginning breeding. They will get
more for goad calves in the future
than thS^U'erage yearling has
brought in the past. The essence
of all things is a better grade of cat-

The man who is always pulling back

bouquets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy and selfish as to be

the funeral and sings the doxology
