A Valuable Forage Plant.
F. M. Ramsey has left a potted
plant of the “filaree,” ,as it is
commonly known, with’ -The
Leader, and persons interested
can see it by calling here. Ac-
cording to Mr. Ramsey, there are
two distinct varieties of this “fil-
aree” in this part of Texas, one
which the stock will eat ^readily
at all times, and the fother^upon
which the stock willf feed only
when hungry, or late in the sea-
son. The difference is very no-
ticeable to those who are*| famil-
iar with the ordinary plant, as
one has leaves scalloped, while
the leaf of the other is almost
solid in texture. Mr. Ramsey
furnishes The Leader with the
following in regard to this plant:
' The plant belongs to the ge-
ranium family and is known to
botanists as erodium cicutarium
the common name alfileria or
pin clover. It is an exotic but is
now naturalized over a large
part of the southwest. It is found
from Central Texas south to
Mexico, and west to the Pacific
coast. It is entirely hardy here
and grows and blooms alljjwinter.
It is one of the best and most nu-
tritious forage plants known.
Stock select it in preference to
any other plant, wild or domes-
tic. Cultivated as a winter or
namental it is a beauty and a
constant bloomer during the win
ter. It is a biennial and dies in
April.
“The other species native here
—erodium texannum—is very
abundant but not relished by
stock until it begins to mature,
and in that stage makes a fine
feed.”
Each variety of this plant
comes up in the fall, and dies in
the spring. Like rescue grass it
is a valuable food for stock, and
so far as The Leader has been
able to learn, has no objection-
able qualities such as taking the
fields and injuring thejcrops. It
grows largely upon the ^unculti-
vated land and stock ^will eat
either variety when matured, but
this particular plant which Mr.
Ramsey brings is sought after by
the stock at all stages. It would
be well for farmers and stock-
men to learn the difference in
these plants and try to care for
the most valuable of the two.

BALLINGER
LAMPASAS
TEAGUE
The past week has been fine
for those who had a few hogs left
over that had not been killed,
and many took advantage of it to
put up the last of their pork. J.
T. Smith, of the Lampasas river,
followed his usual plan and
brought about a hundred pounds
of trimmings which he had made
into savory meat and supplied a
“long felt want” in the bosoms
of some of the city people.
After an examination of sever-
al fields, this writer dare^to ex-
press the opinion that none of the
fall oats were injured by the cold
weather, and only those volunteer
oats which had begun to make
joints were injured, and possibly
they will again show signs of life.
A good rain would help all kinds
of crops.
Rev. John Hudson died at his
home in Round Rock, William-
son county, Monday, February
23, at the age of 83 years. He
had been a minister in the Cum
berland Presbyterian church
more than half a century, travel-
ing largely over this part of the
state and was well known in
Lampasas county, where he often
officiated in former years. His
son, Lewis Hudson, of Goldth-
waite, and his wife, passed
through here Thursday on their
way home from the funeral.
The cold spell has left yet a
time in which trees may be plant
ed and do fairly well this year.
If you have not planted trees and
shrubbery, send your order to
the local nursery and get what
you need and plant them at once
Do It Now.
Road Overseers For 1914.
Mrs. H. A. Montgomery, who
with her husband occupies the
Leverett home, met with an ac-
cident in front of The Leader of-
fice Wednesday afternoon, fall-
ing from the buggy and striking
her side and left shoulder against
the curbing of the sidewalk. She
was quite faint for half an hour
or more from the shock, but re-
covered sufficiently to be taken
to her home, where she is resting
easily and will soon be well. The
jolt made her very sore and un-
comfortable, but no bones were
broken.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Tihonght Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: “I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
laking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
1 have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by , young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.
