Why Jacksboro Needs Anoth-
er Railroad.
The Jacksboro Stone Company
is asking1 for ten empty cars, a
day but can not get them. Risley
Bros. & Company are asking for
twenty-five empty cars daily and
can not get anything like that
number. Both of these compa-
nies have enough contracts for
stone to load all the cars asked
for every day, but they can not
get more than one-half or one-
third of that number; hence the
crushers are “Standing idle from
one-half to two-thirds of the
time for want of shipping facili-
ties.
Jacksboro needs another rail-
road and needs it badly.

from this point are constantly

one car per week, in addition to

mules per head was $98.31. This
also is an increase over previous
years, showing that the strong
demand has raised the market to
a higher level, but it must be ad-
mitted that some of the increase
is due to the better quality, i the nearby towns and the fowls
Since horses-have reached such a! shipped here for preparation for
high figure, more mules have market,
been wanted as a substitute and
many farmers like them for gen-
eral work better than horses.
As a rule the mule has more
endurance. Prosperity in the
south has been responsible for
much of the increased demand,
for the bulk of the farm work in
Dixie is done by the mule. The
high price paid for cotton last
year has put the planter in a po-
sition to spend more money for
improvements and equipment
and hence more mules have been
brought. There seems to be no
immediate danger of the mule
supply becoming excessive.

Prof. F. R. Marshall of the
A. & M. College of says: “An
estimate was made, recently,
of the loss suffered by the people
of Texas who raise scrub stock
instead of well bred animals. It.
was shown that if our cattle were
of the average value per head of
those in Iowa, our horses worth
as much per head as the IllinQis
horses, our average hog as much
as the Missouri hog, our mule as
much as the Georgia or Kentucky
mule, then all of our cattle,
hogs and mules would be worth
about $175,000,000 more than
they are worth now. That hun-
dred and seventy-five million
dollars measures the difference
between our scrub stock and the
same number of well bred stock.
If the farmers and the stockmen
of Texas will take pains to ac-
quaint themselves with these
facts, and then do a little think-
ing on the subject, they'will be
led to a realizing sense of the
enormous losses they suffer every
year by the raising of scrubs.”
