THE HOG IN THE PANHANDL8
All the Porker Wants in that Seo-
tion Is a Fair Chanoe.
The Barber
Col. Lanbam stated to friends
that he would be inaugurated in a
Prince Albert suit of clothes made
Jby woolen mills at Waco, and that
it was-bis intention to wear a silk
bat presented to him by Washing*
ton friends. . ; .
While most everybody in the Pan-
handle is crazy over cattle, a fe*
facts concerning hogs might well b«
.worth considering. S. E. Edwards
of Seymour expects to make a profit
of $5000 or $8000 from his liog
ranch. No such profit could bfl
made on cattle with less than ten
times the investment. He says:
"The old theory that forests and
6wamps, with plenty of mast of va-
rious kinds, are necessary to success-
ful hog raising, has long ago for-
tunately been exploded. Such con-
ditions, time and experience, are no
more necessary to hog raising than
to the successful, raising of cattle,
horses or stock of any character.
"Hogs can be raised as success-
fully and profitably in the Panhan-
dle of Texas as in any other portion
'of the state, or anywhere else, foi
that matter, and as they are abso-
lutely free from cholera in this por-
tion of the.state, the chances are
really more favorable here than else-
where. The only obstacle in the way
'of a man with limited means in this
open prairio country is the necesJ
laary expeni ~s that he is put to in
shaping up for the business, but to a
greater or less degree he will en«v
counter liis expense anywhere. This
includes houses, sheds, pasture
fences, boar lots, farrowing pens,
etc. My experience and observation
teach, me tliat, like all other enter-
prises, to embark in the hog bus-
iness without first preparing for it
will inevitably result in such dis-
couragement that the rverage marl
will give up in disgust, and resolv<
to himself that there is no good in
a hog, anyway. On the other hand,
those who have made proper prepa-
rations have found the businesi
more or less remunerative from th/
start.
"The writer was in Mexico ih
1896-1897, engaged in importing
and dealing in corn from the United
States, and was forcib'y impressed
with the idea of a hog ranch, aftei
6eeing a number of Americans in
•that country who were making con-
siderable money out of the business
iThey raised and fattened their hogi
on ribbon cane, and, notwithstand-
ing they figured on an annual.loss oj
50 per cent, from cholera, they weri
rapidly growing rich at the business.
1 concluded that in this country
where disease in swine is at the min-
imum, and where chol'-ra is abso-
lutely uaknown, and where we hav<s
our wheat, oats and dry pastures td
graze them on in the winter, and
Sorghum, natural grasses and weeds
in the summer, we ought to succeed
as well as they did in Mexico and
on my return home in the summei
of 1897,1 started a small hog ranch,
which I have kept steadily increas#
Ing until now I am running mow
than 1000 head of stock hogs,
have about sixteen miles of ho,)
fenee, cutting my farm and most o|
the pasture np into sections of 10()
acres and less. By this method 1
am enabled to keep the herd divided
. as I may desire ar-d pasture them tc
the best advantage, using certain
pastures for the different classes oi
bogs. 1 find that there is no better
pasture, and, in fact, no bettei
straight feed than green wheat; I
now have 300 feeders that I am
holding on a hundred^acre wheat
field, and am only feeding them iq
addition, a wagon load of pie oi
stoclc melons each day, and they art,
gaining very rapidly in flesh,
have a sixty-acre pea patch, whicl
was planted the last of July, and ii
rainy, muddy weather I turn thesi
300 hogs on that, As soon fts it ii
dry enough I run them back to th<
vheat. My principal feed consisti
of sorghum, Kaffir corn and mik
maize. These are certain crops ir
this country, and all yield abund-
antly. I planted this year, during
the last week in July, 100 acres in
dwarf milo maize and have it in
shock now. I am confident that 50
acres of it made at least 5000 bush-
els; on the other 50 acres I got a
very poor stand, yet it made about
3000 bushels. This I will feed to
•teers and have hogs follow them.
/UCIi oropS as sorghum, Kaffir corft
hid maize plant in drills and culti-
vate and harvest with an ordinary
torn tow binder.
"I feed my hogs plenty of com-
hon stone coal, salt, charcoal and
ralphur, and use Beaumont oil aa
l dip, which effectually rids them of
ficka, lice and mange. They should
4e dipped at least twice a year, so as
lo keep them clean and healthy.
''Should the market remain a*.
Jiigli as 5 cents during the next
Iwelve months I shall expect a net.
profit of from $5000 to $8000 from
my hog ranch.
"There is no better opening for
i poor man with a limited capital
than the hog business in the Pan-
handle of Texas, and if he thinks
lie might fail in a crop to feed them
>n, let him listen to my experience
with the pie or stock melon this
fear. I planted a ten-acre piece of
rod, which was growing corn, in pie
melons, and from this field I have
gathered, stacked and fed some 60,-
!M)0 melons, and there are still on
fhe ground some 25,000 more, and
they are an excellent feed for swine.
"Fow, in conclusion, I want to
lay that to the lazy man the hog
business is not a very inviting field.
They require a great deal of atten-
tion and it takes a hustler to meet
ill their demands, but when fairly
lnet there is no business in this
country which pays a better divi-
dend on the money invested."
Conservatism In Cotton Milling.
The Post would not be understood
is in the slightest degree discourag-
ing the cotton mill movement. All
things CO"- idered it does seem that
the industry ought to pay in Texas;
4nd there is no doubt that some of
the mills in this state are paying,'
while the continuation of the others
(ndicates at least that they are self-
lustaining.
But cottcn milling is a bu9-
(nesa requiring in the first place
experienced busir.es# management,
tt is too much to expect that
the home merchant or banker
or planter can make it pay be-
cause he has made Lis life busi-
ness pay. Especially in a new coun-
try and under untried conditions the
highest skill of direction and manu-
facture should be employed, for with
the most rigid economy there must
ie some waste at the start, not to
•nention the expense of introduction
and establishing Falling relations.
The mills of the eastern states have
oeen developed through generations
jf Yankee thrift, and many of those
if the other southern states have
been established by the same expe-
rienced operators, Texas mills,
therefore, must count upon the yiv-
ilry of olosest economy in cost of
manufacture.
In tha second place, the nature
)f the business fixes wages at a low
seals. Much of the machinery is al-
most automatic, and the simplest in-
lelligence is sufficient to operate it.
Such labor, 6t course, cannot be
iiigh priced. The question is, will
Ihe section in which a new mill is
}o be located furnish such labor?
&.re the opportunities in other call-
ings, in agriculture and in the local
industries already established, such
lhat operatives can be secured at
foiton mill rates?
In a riojt agricultural section thw
londitiona are somewhat adverse, for
ihe reason that the ftmily group
rhich makes the Ideal cotton mill
tervice can find comfort in renting
t farm. In poorer agricultural com-
munities farming gives such scant
returns that even low wages are pre-
ferred. Still, even in rich agricul-
iural Texas there will be found in
nost towns and cities a certain num-
ier pf persons who for one reason
>r another will n^t gq tq the farms,
ind these may furnish a sufficient
>porative force for the cotton mill*.
These are some of the problems
vhich each community must deter-
aiiajje for itself. If they are favor-
ibly solved, cotton mills will pay.
tf not, local energy and capital
jhould be directed in other chan-
iels.—Houston Post.

Representative Sheppard Introduce®
a Bill of Much Importance.
"Washington: Representative Shep*
pard has introduced a bill enlarging
the work of the division of statistics
in the department of agriculture. The
bill provides that government statist-
ical reports shall hereafter include sug-
ar, rice, fruits, vegetables and all oth-
er agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducts of commercial importance. The
rice, fruit, vegetables and truck Indus-
tries have become so important, and
especially in Texas, that Mr. Sheppard
believes that they should have recog-
nition and assistance in 4his way from
the government.
The bill provides that state statist-
ical agents of the national government
shall devote their entire time to the
work, and also provides adequate sal-
aries for them. It also provides that
the government shall make special bi-
weekly reports on cotton, corn, wheat
and oats, such reports to be posted con-
spicuously in the pos-Alices for the
information of the people. The ob-
ject of the provision is to give the
farmer accurate knowledge of condi-
tions affecting the principal products,

Kansas City, Mo.: The sixth annual
convention of the National Live Stock
Association adjourned Friday to meet
next year at Portland, Ore. Before ad-
journment all the officers were re-
elected, and the initiative was taken in
a systematic legislative campaign
against the proposed packinghouse
merger. Hon. William M. Springer,
general counsel of the association, in a
spirited address, outlined a bill which
he said was merely an adaptation of
the Sherman anti-trust law and the
Hoar bill now pending in the senate.
President Springer said that if tbe
proposed merger was ever consuin-
mr.ted the N#tional Livestock associa-
tion would string packinghouses from
Chicago to San Francisco. In response
to an appeal from the executive com-
mittee for a legislative working fund
$7500 was subscribed in less than thir-
ty minutes.
The officers are: J. w.t Springer of
Denver, president; John M. Holt of
Miles pity, Mont., first vice president;
F. J. Hasonbarth of Salt Lake City, sec-
ond vice president; George L, Gouldlng
of Denver, treasurer; Charles F. Mar-
tin of Denver, secretary; Fred P. John-
son of Denver, assistant secretary.

Baird: With rain on the night of
the 13th and 14th and all day on the
14th and again on the night of the 15th,
Callahan county is coming to the front
as a wet county. Callahan was not
represented ajt the boll weevil cpnven-
tion, and though some fioll weevil were
reported la the county last year, farm-
ers are not taking any precautions
against them this year. The idea
seems to be to plant enough to feed th©
weevila and have plenty left.
Engineer John C x Killed,
Texarkana; A rear-end collision
took place on the Cotton Belt between
two freight trails eight miles west of
here at Rattlesnake Hill Friday morn-
ing with disastrous and fatal effects.
Engineer John Cox was instantly
killed, his neck being broken, and
Fireman Smith sustained dangerous
and perhaps fatal injuries. Brakeman
Harris was also badly though not dan-
gerously hurt. Sventeen cars loaded
with general merchandise were totally
wrecked and subsequently took fire.
Tbpse will perhaps prove a total loss.
Pallas; Michael Madden, & fireman
OH- a Texas ^ and Pacific eastbound
-freight, was killed accidentally Thurs-
day afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock
near Arlington. He was about 36 years
old. It is s*id that the fireman was
leaning out of the cab window when
the train passed the water tank near
Arlington, and the heavy water in-
jector struck hi^ head, caving in the
skull and killing him almost instantly.

Beaumont: Michael Creagh, aged
about 30 years, fell Thursday afternoon
and struck his head against the con?

everything was done for him that
could be done, but death resulted at S
p'clock in the afternoon.

A Very High
Compliment to
"THE TEXAS
RAILROAD"
I
N a business letter to General Passenger Agent
p. J. Price, of the International & Great
ijjoftherp gystepo of Te$as, on piy ^etprn
from Europe, t was pleased to rein&rfc that I had' not riip
acros.8 any railway ip Britten, frermapy, Rnssia, Switzer-
land, Italy or France that excelled the 1. £ pr. N. in tbe
solidity and smootbnegg of its track, or the beauty and
comfort of its new coaches—the company's own make at
its Palestine shops. "If you had said that, in The 400,"
replied Mr. Price, "we should have considered it a very
notable compliment." I am yery glad to repeat it in The
400, and to also reiteraie what I said of the I. & G. N.
equipment in the May numbtr—that it is not surpassed
and seldom equelled by the older and richer railroads in
tbe North and East. This is remarkable, in view of the
age and population of Texas, but 1 claim to be a judge."—
