GROW HOGS AND SELL 'EM
A FORTUNE CAN BE MADE
Such Is tho gratis Advice of Ed RIs-
tcr Stock Raiser of tho Big
Springs Country.
From Tuesday's Dally: ""
L Ed and Will Rister of Big Springs
spent yesterday in Abilene leaving
for their home on tho delayed 5:42
westbound train. They had recently
returned hero from Fort Worth after
disposing of three cars of cattle at
good ifrlces. A
Ed Rister stated they found tho mar-
ket at Fort Worth active with the de-
mand far In excess of the yield In live-
stock. He is a firm believer tlmt hog
raising is the only money maker In
West Texas.
"While I was in Fort Worth' ho.
said "I saw one man bring a car of
thirty four hogs into the market. Five
minutes after he had announced for
sale he bad closed a deal which
brought him five hundred and fifty
dollars for tbd lot. The market that
day hovered from eight to eight dol-
lars and ten cents per hundred pounria
"I believe in tho Big Springs coun-
try fortunes can bo made on hogs
Tor I am posltlvo the market will not
suffer a decided drop during tho win-
tor. Every buyer wants hogs hogs
hogs; nothing is heard but hogs and
tho supply is far in decrease of tho
demand."
