potatoes will produce 400 bush-
els per acre and onions 200 bush-
els per acre. This is equal to
$200 per acre putting onions at
one dollar and potatoes at fifty
cents per bushel. Potatoes gen-
erally bring one dollar per bush-
el on the local market.
The city authorities are hav-
ing a test well sunk near the
bank of the creek adjoining the
pump house; the purpose being,
should they obtain a good sup-
ply of water, to enlarge the well,
have it cemented and the walls
built above high-water mark in
order to prevent contamination
from the creek or other sources.
This is a move in the right direc-
tion and it is hoped that this
scheme for obtaining pure water
may be rapidly pushed to a con-
clusion.
While the country is not exact-
ly overrun with Mexicans there
are more of them in this section
than have been seen * here for
several years. Some of them are
men of fine character and all of
them are useful. Such work as
shearing sheep, clearing land
and certain work in railroad
building can be done by these
men at prices which “home tal-
ent” would spurn. Pay day on
the railroad work always brings
many of them to Lampasas, and
their trade is eagerly sought by
the merchants in all lines.

Rule Review.

enjoy it with him. The guests
were Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Cowan
and daughter, Alma, Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Jordan and children, Mr.
and Mrs. C. E. Martin, and Mrs.
B. F. Martin. Mrs. Smith was
assisted in serving the dinner by
Mrs. Ed Jordan, and everyone
present pronounced the repast
superfine. The crompgjiy en-
gaged in social games and con-
versation until a late hour, when
they dispersed, declaring that
they had spent a most enjoyable
evening and wishing Mr. Smith
many happy returns.
W. A. Marcee’s team ran away
again Saturday morning, the
breast-strap breaking, throwing
| the driver, Jim Phelps, out and
bruising him up considerably,
wasting some groceries, tearing
the pole out of the wagon, but
not doing any very serious dam-
age. The sheriff and several
others on horseback gave chase
and overtook the team at Sul-
phur creek.
What’s the use of pulling a
thorn when you could pluck a
flower? What’s.the use of climb-
ing rocky paths when you could
travel smoother roads? What’s
the use of stumbling along, hesi-
tating on account of troubles,
when a little energy would put
you beyond such? What’s the
logic for being a knocker when
you could be a booster? Pessi-
Weather Report.

Hogs Fattened By Grazing Alfalfa. -
What alfalfa will do \fetr hogs
was demonstrated by a lVad of
hogs sold on the Fort Worth
market by P. L. Wall of Kiowa
county, Okla., a few days ago.
The carload averaged 200 pounds
and sold for $5.85 per 100 pounds.
The hogs were bought by Wall
sixty days previous, when they
averaged in weight only ninety
pounds. They were run on alfalfa
and fed short on corn. Speaking
of hogs and alfalfa, Mr. Wall
said:
“I am a great believer in al-
falfa, and if we get rain up my
way I will double my acerage in
it next year. I made a test of
feeding alfalfa to hogs some time
ago in this manner. I took four
pigs from a litter and gave them
the run of an alfalfa pasture,
with no other feed eXcdpt* a small
amount of corn. At six months
and nine days old they averaged
215 pounds. These were regis-
tered Durocs and were said by
everyone who saw them to be the
best hogs ever brought into that
country. They gained over a
pound a day for 189 days.”
