General Stock News 1
First premium of the Ft. Worth
Fat Stock Show for best carload of
hogs, 200 pounds and over, was
awarded to Ed Edmondson of New-
ark, Texas. They were sold to
Swift & Co. at $7.55.
Reports from the ranges indicate
that cattle losses to stockmen of the
Indian Territory as the result of the
recent blizzard have been heavier
than was expected. At least 40,000
cattle perished in the territory.
Statistics show that the number of
horses in the United Slates increased
28,000 last year. Owing to the
fact that iiis services were badly
needed in South Africa, the mule
failed to make as good a record.
A tract of land 125 miles long by
100 miles wide in the state of Sonora
in Northern Mexico, was lately pur-
chased by New York capitalists.
The tract will be fenced and con-
verted into the largest cattle ranch
in the world.
In the roping contests at El Paso
during the recent Cattle Raisers'
convention Robert Conley of Mid-
land roped and tied a steer in 21}
seconds. This is seconds better
than the best time ever made before
and established a new world's record.
At the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show
63 head of Herefords were sold at
auction, the average price being
$161. John R. Lewis of Sweetwater,
who bought the bull Royal Choice
for $510, paid the highest price of
the day. He also bought the cow
Queen Bess for $220.
One of the largest horse deals
that has been recorded in a long
time was closed at El Paso last
week when Oliver M. Lee, of Ala-
mogordo, N. M., sold to three gen-
tlemen from North Dakota 1025
head of good range horses. These
horses were considered the best
large herd of ranch stock in New
Mexico. All of them are young
and have never been broken to use.
They will be driven overland from
Roswell, N. M., by the old northern
trail to Dickerson, N. D.

space. Much ot this is rtaily harmful read-
ing. It is the aim of the Semi-Weekly

The farmers' department Ins hslped
many. It is not the theory of farming writ-
ten by college professors and others up
north on conditions that don't fit Texas. It
is the actual experience of farmers here at
home who have turned over the soil.

The Brand you should be. It is helpful to
the best interests of your town and countv.
For $1.75, cash in advance, we will mail

"But Where to find that happiest spot
below;
Who can direct, when all pretend to
know? —Goldsmith.
Many are satisfied to live in Northwest
Texas, having proved the value of the land
in this region as a good Crop Raiser. Not
only Cattle, but Wheat, Cotton, Coin, Feed-
Stuffs, Cantaloupes, Garden Truck and Good
Health flourish here—in a district where
Malaria is impossible and very little doing
for Jails and Hospitals.
Land, which is being sold at really low
figures—tho the constantly increasing de-
mand is steadily boosting values—is still
abundant; and Farms and Ranche i of all
size very happily located, are being pur-
chased daily.
We will gladly supply al! askers with a
copy of a little Book published by the North-
west TexE.ó Real Estate Association, which
contains an interesting series of straightfor-
ward statements of what People
Have Accomplished along the
line of

N. B.—We find our passenger patronage
very gratifying. It is necessary to run three
trains daily each way as far as Wichita
Falls, and two clear thru. We continue, the
year round, the excellent Class A service
that insures the prefiycoce of Colorado and
California Tourists, Winter and Summer.
By the way, we offer now more than half a
dozen routes to California, the newest being
via. Dalhart (also good for Old Mexico),
with first-grade Eating Cars all the way.
We tell a Home-Seekers ticket, good
thirty days, at one and • third fare the round
trip, allowing stopovers at Vernon and points
beyond, both ways.
