A Hesperian representative
visited the oil mill yesterday af
ternoon, that institution about
which so little is known and said,
but which is beyov.l doubt the
biggest thing in North Texa*
When it is said that "the oil uiill
has started op" or ' the oil mill is
buying large quantities of seed"
no conception of tl o amount of
business being done there, can be
formed by the gonaral public.
Nor can one form any ide:t of the
hurry and bustle, the roar and
rattle of the machinery, the clock-
ike performance of every duty
without personally visiting the in-
stitution.
When the mill and seed houses
were first built they were thought
arge enough to meet every de-
mand, but recently the company
erected two more, one 60x420, the
other 50x300, and now the storage
capacity is 15,000 tons. Of this
amount there is now on band be-
tween 13,000 aud 14,000 tons and
still the loaded cars are coming.
To crush the immense piles of
seed will keep (he mill running
antil next July.
TTp to the present time the mill
has given employment to 120 men,
but the regular pay roll carries
the names of sixty men frou the
beginning of the season to its
close and when the time arrives to
pay them off it takes Bookkeeper
Barchard exactly two and three
quarter houis to write the checks.
The roll will average $2400
month, every cent of which re-
mains in Gainesville. Since the
mill started up this season over
#5000 has been paid for labor.
The mill is now running at its
full capacity and is turning out
120,000 pounds of product daily.
The oveiflowing seed houses are
in themselves a convincing argu-
ment against a short cotton crop
in Cooke county, and when it is
remembered that this mill has
already this season paid out
#125,000 for seed and unloaded
050 cars one i* almost ready to
swear that the cotton all went to
seed. The mill expects to handle
2000 or more cars before the eea-
son closes.
Just south of the mill is the oil
honse in which are stored the im-
mense tanks. Ihe tanks have a
storage capacity of 80,000 gallons
of oil and that capacity will all be
utilized.
The consumption of fuel at the
mill is not exactly the smallest
item on the expense list. To keep
the ponderous machinery moving
requires ten tons of fuel every
day.
To show how rapidly work is
performed about the mill, with F.
R. Sherwood as superintendent, it
is only necessary to pay that one
of the new seed houses, 50x300
feet, was built and ready for seed
in two and one-half d ivs. ' I had
twenty-five carpenters and fifty
helpers," said Mr. Sherwood,
"and you should h.tve seen us
work. A wagon load of lumber
would come np here and I'd tell
the driver to stand b;;»k ana count
the pieces as we unlo.-.ded. Not a
piece touched the ground and be
fore 'hat wagon conld get out of
the yard every stick was in place
and nailed." With the same nntn-
ber of men another seed house
80x160 was built in three and one
half days. Another fact as re
lated by the good-natnred super-
intendent was the loading of 400
sacks of meal into a car in twenty-
nine minutes.
An average of 150 wagons are
weighed on the company's scales
each day, which is of itself suffi-
cient to keep one man busy from
early in the morning until long
past snpper time.
To go on an inspection tonr
through the mill and watch the
work in the different departments,
is a treat in itself, but the grand-
est sight of all is yet to be seen.
There are on feed at the mill 7500
head of fine beef cattle. From the
second story of the mill one inn
see nothing but cattle—east, north
and west. To those who have
watched them day after day the
big herd is nothing to look at. but
to the uninitiated it is a wonderful

sight. To feed this immense herd
requires twenty t voand four horse
teams constantly hauling feed, the
wagons apparently having a car
load capacity. The cattle arc in
fine condition and will soon bo
ready for the market. From the
company's artesian well is eup
plied the water for the herd and
to do this a separate pomp is kept
going continually. While in-
specting this pump Mr. Sherwood
took occasion to dispute the claim
made that the city was the first to
sink an artesian well "Why,"
said he, "we went after water six
years ago and fonnd it, but the
contractor lost his drill and we
stopped."
The Santa Fe and Katy rail-
roads each have switches running
to the mill, one on the east ana
the other on the west, and to
handle all the cars coming to the
mill is a big job.
Everything abont the place is
on the move. The waste lumber
from the new buildings was yes-
terday being stored away and the
yard being cleaned up generally.

There Is comforc in tho knowl-
edge so often expressed that Dr
ivilmer's Swamp-Root, the gres_t
kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kid
npys, liver, bladder and cverv
part of tuo urinrry passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its won-
