Practical Poultry Raising
BY H. B. SAVAGE, BELTON, TEXAS
It has been my privilege, profit
and pleasure to have been con-
nected with poultry culture in
its various branches for the past
forty years, and what I shall say
in the brief time allotted to me
will be based on experience
gained down the line of these
years. The most valuable ex-
perience one can have on any
subject is that gained by and
which has been hammered out
by the hard knocks of experi-
ence. In the limited time I can
not go into any great detail, but
will rush through, touching the
amount of money being paid out
for poultry products, ought to
make the farmers of this country
“sit up and take notice.”
TURKEYS, r
What we have said herein
about chickens applies also to
turkeys for market. Last sea-
son turkeys sold on the market
wholesale, at from 10 to 15 cents
per pound live weight, and it is
no trouble at all for a farmer
with range to raise a flock of
Bronze turkeys, the hens weigh
from fifteen to twenty-two pounds
each, and the gobblers from
twenty-five to forty pounds; or a
flock of White Hollands in pro-
portion, they being a smaller

Mrs. S. A. Reams left an eight-

her home place just across the
creek beyond the Chestnut street
bridge. The peach crop this
year is a wonder.

Mrs. Holmali and Miss Lee makb

almost every summer and are
loud in their praises of the waters
here, from which they receive so
much benefit.
Uncle Frank Gholson, of the
upper end of the county, spent a
day or two of the past week here,
having come to visit his old com-
rade, Col. N. A. Taylor, with
whom he served as a ranger
nearly sixty years ago. The
gentlemen had not met for 59
years, and it was a. great pleas-
ure for them to get together
again and recount the scenes
and incidents of former days,
when their lives and the lives of
their countrymen were in danger
from the invasions of the Indians
almost every day.

One thing bear in mind, you
must not expect to get the best
out of your fowls there is in them
if they are neglected and allowed
to roost on trees, fences, wagon
wheels and tongues, etc., during
cold weather, such a method
means no eggs and then your
revenue ceases.
The time for cheap eggs and
chickens has gone in Texas, nev-
er to return, except, perhaps, to
those who still hang on to the old
scrub hens, and market what few
eggs they get without any con-
sideration whatever, as to size
and condition of eggs offered for
sale. Sort all eggs before you
send them to market and keep
the small and illy shaped ones at
home for your own use. You
will get a much better price for
what you sell. The enormous
There has never been a greater
demand for grass and water for

than that which exists right now.
Water has failed in many of the
tanks and all the others are get-

short everywhere. However the

creek is in fine condition and is
able to assist his neighbors in
their time of need.

Some people may think The
Leader a little “cranky” about
hogs, but believing it is the
cheapest and easiest source of
meat supply, it has made.it a
point to “ding dong” the raising
and caring for hogs for some
years. The railroads of the state
are taking up the matter, and
educational trains are becoming
fashionable. Through Mr. Gar-
rett Dobbin, colinization agent of
of the Santa Fe, The Leader is
pleased to learn that a “hog-
demonstration train” will be run
over the Santa Fe, and that’ it
will be here on the 19th of this
month. This train will carry
pedigreed stock of the various
breeds and finest quality, and
there will be experts with the
train to tell about hogs and hog
raising. In his letter, Mr. Dob-
bins says: “We are quite anx-
ious that everyone take advan-
tage of this and we hope to sefe
the farmers in every neighbor-
hood at this train. Hog raising-
means money-making both for
the farther and the railroads.**
In the circular announcing the
dates, Mr. Dobbins says: “Please
be at the station promptly with
your hog troubles and questions^
You may never again have an-
other such opportunity to learn
how to make money.”

There are some unsightly
places in Lampasas, publie
places, that need attention. The
attention of The Leader has beet
called to the west side of Live
Oak street, between the square,
and Second street, which is seers
by almost every visitor* and ie
said to be in a very foul, filthy
and unpresentable condition.
Somebody ought to clean it and
clean it thoroughly. Do it now.
