Wlmt I wish to Impiem upon the

hope to nccompllNh as much In the next
twenty-live years. Still there Is plen-

You may wonder what typo I con-

may not wnste much feed but ho Is
sIurbIhIi weighs llttlo and would ex-
terminate the breed If continuously
used for breeding purposes. Tlio Ioiik
lean and K"tuit hoc In my opinion Is
n poor and wasteful feeder lequlrbiB
too Ioiik u time to market.
Tlio Tiumtorlli I'Ik.
Of nil breeds Introduced to this coun-
try the Tamwofth most nearly resem-
bles tlio primitive type of Iiok In leiiKth

Ga.ettu. Fanners of tlio corn belt
look with no llttlo ileKicii of curiosity
on these reminders of the primitive
Iiok. of these hukkosIIous of the "elm
peelers" of the pioneer woods. Hut
they find their place In the economy
of porcine production. Widely ut va-
riance with Improved type of tho lard
hog and with the modern form of tho
Berkshire the Tmuwortlm have suc-
ceeded In winning the high favor of the
etirers of bacon as their length and
depth of sides their light waste their
large proportion of lean nsl meat to
fat make them very attractive to pack-
ers who inako n speciality of bacon

How to Uutrct Hiinvln.
When tho buyer suspects that it
spavin large or small Is present yet
llnds lameness absent possibly duo
to continuous exercise or some pre-
ventive mensuro adopted for the occa-
sion ho can speedily ascertain whether
It Is Indeed present by a simple test.
Hnvo an assistant lead the horso out
to hnlter and prepare to trot him In-
stnntly nt the word "do." Now lift up
tho foot of tho suspected hind leg and
hold It as eloso to tho horse's belly as
possible for ft few minutes. Suddenly
drop It and Immediately trot tho horse
when ho will for tlio llrst few steps or
even rods go Intensely lame but soon
recover. This Is nn unfailing test mid
Bhould be practiced In every case where
there Is the slightest suspicion of a
spavin. Dr. A. S. Alexander In Na-
tional Stockman.
Wintering HIiimi.
Good comfortable roomy sheds nro it
necessity where sheep nro to be win-
tered. Tbeso need not bo exponslve
but should bo well ventilated free
from drafts and situated on dry
ground soys Wool Markets and Sheep.
A lnrgo open yard apart from that oc-
cupied by other nnlmnls should bo
provided for exercise. Too much con-
Ilnoment In overwnrm or 111 ventilated
6tablcs Is fatnl to success with sheep.
On tho other band coinfortiiblo quar-
ters regulnr nnd liberal footling plen-
ty of pure water and it sutllclcncy of
Bait will go far toward Insuring their
successful wintering and it strong crop
of lambs In tho spring.

A broad minded Hdltor.
Tho Sterling News Record man
gives expression to his feelings on
un important local question in
tlm following way:
This town is without a proper
hull or oilier suitable place in
which tlm young people of this
community can hold their enter-
tainments Tho churches huvo
closed their dour against them
the school limiM' in no longer ten-
able unci now it is asserted there
is a sentiment in fuvorof shutting
them nut of the court house.
While we aro not in favor -f
turning any of these pliices named
into a dance hall or other thing
t hut is militant to church rules
yet in our humble opinion if our
hoys and girls want to have ti
concert or other entertainment
that is of u moral and olevuting
nature wo bay that your church
your school house or court homo
ih norm to good for thorn to use
for the purnoso.
If you oppose us in this viow of
tlm situation from u Htundpoint
H I' A ...... !...
ol religion wo want to niiy uii
your opposition along this line
does more to build up tlm tiaiice
the card table and other things
that might lead to evil than all
tlm concerts in Christendom
Your onnosition in this begets a
contempt for a religion that shuts
out the innocent pleasures of life.
Wo hold that God Almighty
in-ver intended that girls and hoys
hhould not have their fun and in-
iinceiit ainusonipntH and ho who
fci-Ub to deny them this boon is u
Htumbling block to progress and
humanity. Then it is up to the
parents to direct the amusements
of their girls anil hoys into such
channels that will elevate them
both mentally and morally and
thereby occupy tlm imo that
would otherwise bo Hpent in ac-
quiring vicious luihits and morbid
tastes.
You cut a hoy uway from the
society of his" fellows and by
brutal" forco compel him to re-
main in a home that is devoid of
tho means of his amusoment
never let him go anywhere except
to your church and Sunday school ;
never let him hear any music hut
that of the churchorgan and the
cracked voice of boiuo old hilly
goat that thinks he cun sing;
nevor let him heur the soul stir-
ring strains of a hand or an or-
chestra: or he thrilled and exalt
ed by tho sounds of eloquence
and ho will bacome a man who is
soured against all his I'ellofvinen
and will go through the world a
miserahlo croon horn who has
missed tho sunshine of life.
If you oppose the commendable
wishes of these hoys and fgirla
through motives of economy wo
beg to inform you that the advo-
cates of their cause have dug deep
into their pockets to help build
these houses and it is nothing
short of shomeful meanness in
in you to usurp the fruits of our
hard-earned money and shut us
out from tlm enjoyment of that
for which we have dearly paid.
If your house is damaged they
will pay the full measure besides
there will ho plenty of houses
when you are dead und in a place
where' money don't make the
'mare go" and ice water is an
unknown quantity.
Wo say throw the doors open to
the girls and hoy and go in with
them yourself and help develop
the minds und mold tho sonti-
mont that will make the world
brighter and hotter. Lay down
your prejudice and take up tho
liberal views of common sense
and progress or the wollsof these
huildings will stand as so many
whitened monuments of your
moani.ois and superstition.

Mrs. Will Smith of Comhill

sister Mrs. I. A. Stafford who is

A Safe Cough Medicine for Children
In buying a cough medicine for

valuable for colds croup und whoop-
ing cough. For snlo by all druggists.
SIZING UP YOUR MEN
Their Wty ol Antwerinit Queiliom
Olltn Kelp
One thing Unit helps you keep track
of your men Is the habit of nsklng
questions. Your thlr-t tor Informa-
tion must fairly mnke your tnimuo loll
out. When you ask the head of the
canning department what we're net-
ting for two pound corm-d beef on the
day's nun kt't lor (-miners mid lie has
to ny. "Walt n minute and I'll llgure
It out." or t 'ii'ti to ono of l.ls boys nnd
ask. 'Hill what are twos netting ut':"
lie Isn't sitting close r 'High to Ids Job.
ami perhaps if 111!: were in Ills chair
he'd be holding It In I is lap; or when
you ask the thief eiiKlucer how much
co.'il we burned this mouth us com-
pared wllh last and why In thunder
we burned It. If he has to hem and
haw and sny he hasn't hud time to lltr-
lire It out yet. but he thinks they wete
runnlii'.- liotl benches In the p.tckhig
house most of the time and he guess
t-s this and reckons that he needs I
get up a little more steam hlmsi-lf. In
short whenever you find a fellow that
ought to know every minute where
he's at. but who doesn't know what's
what he's pretty likely to be It. When
you're dealing wllh an animal like tho
American hog. that carries all Us
profit In the tip of Its tail you want
to make sure that your men carry nil
the latest news about It on tho Up of
the tongue.
It's not a bad plan onto in awhile
to checl; up the tacts and llgutes that
are given you. I remember ono light-

Held for his talents when I asked him
one day how the hams of last week's
run had been averaging in weight.
Answered like a streak but It struck
me that for hogs which had been run-
ning so light they were giving up
pretty generously. So I checked up his
llguies and found Yin all wrong. Tried
him with a dllTerent question every
day for a week. Always answered
quick and always answered wrong
round that ho was u baseball rooter
mid had been handing out the batting
nverages of the C'hlcagos for his
answers. Seems that when I used to
see him busy llgurlug with his pencil
he was working out whero Anson

WEST TEXAS FACTS
Answering n Correspondent Concern-
ing the Advantages nnd Oppor-
tunities Existing Here.
Mrs. K. 0. Fitzgerald of this
city is in recoipt of a letter from
ii bulv in Xnsbvillo. Timid. wlin is
. ..... - .. .- . ijv
deeply interested in Sun Angelo Nk
and West Texas. Mrs. Fitzgerald E
has requested that the lady's Qu
questions he answered through
the columnsjof The Press. Tholpfi
questions are these of tho corres-;
pondent. Tho aiiBwers are made ' 5
by this paper. !$i
1. Do you consider San Ange- c
lo and the surrounding country 'rv
healthy? 1 7$
Mrs Fitzgerald requests thnti5fe
this question he answered in her
name and in a pronounced aflirm-
ative. San Angelo is situated
1000 ft. uhove sea level and is
known all over the I'nited .States
as a health resort. Sufferers
with tuhorcolosis come here Irom
a score of states some finding re-
stored health others prolonga-
tion of life while others go hack
to tlio or aro carried "in tlio bag-
gage coach ahead." Very few
who come before tho disease has
reached too late a fctago fail to
improve.
J. Is there malaria and chills?
I'sually ono who como3 from a
lower altitude has what ever ma-
laria there may he in the system
drawn out during the first spring
or summer. After that none
!5 What kind of water do you
use?
Wuter of the Concho river fed
by tho dourest of springs which
exist all along its course.
1. Do you think it a good
funning country?
For the past three years farm
productions hnvo steadily increas-
ed. Now a number of large
ranches hnvo heon cut up into
farms and as gocd crops on tho
avorago are raised in this Bection
as can ho found in any state.
5 Is thoro rain in Bummer and
tho streams afford water for stock?
Some summers there n cry of
'drouth." In other years one
frequently feels the need of a
shower. The streams are over-
lastint; 1). Is tho school system good?
San Angelo's schools aro firmly
established and uro iilliliated with
the University of Texas. No hot-
ter schools exist in the state.
7. What protestant churches
do you have?
Methodist Episcopal Mothod-
ist I'rotestnnt Baptist Episco-
palian Presbyterian Oumhorlund
Presbyterian Christian (Discip-
les of Christ) Christain (Firm
Foundation.)
S. IIdw about society? Is the
Sahhath observed?
San Angelo socioty ranks with
that of any city on earth. Tho
Sunday law is observed and tho
people aro good as good as hu-
man naturo is capable of being.
San Angelo peoplo tire human.
Nono of thorn have wings bo far
as known hut a hotter nor moro
hospitable peoplo exists on the
globe.
9 Do you think ono can do
hotter hv moving from the old
Btates to Toxas.
There are many examples.
Somo improve their circumstan-
ces others do the opposite. It is
largely within tho power of one-
self. Tho opportunities are here
by tho thousand if ono is ready to
take advantage of thorn.
10. Is tho Boil of the school
laud which can bo bought from
tho state ri'jh and is it forest or
pruirio.?
Roforred to tho real estate deal-
ers of San Angolo.
11. What about those hot
winds that burn up crops and veg-
etables? The editor of this papor has
lived in San Auuolo foursummors
and in that timo has booh ono hot
wind which did but little damage
to crops. It would not be to tho
intorest ot rue rress or to any
real ostato mnn to give misin-
formation concerning this oity
and section. "Briof facts con-
cerning San Angolo and tho Con-
cho Country" nro complied by
those who would not knowingly
oxaggerato. If tho Nnshvillo lndy
will como to San Angolo she will
remain. Thoro's not anothor
town on oarth its sizo as good
ns Snu Angolo and thoro's
no Boction of tho wido world so
full of opportunities for tho jndi
clous investor as "tho groat Con
cho Country."
