ATrp to. HAOXBLr, TEX1 1o9 Afterd gging y aid pipders, my wife 'baLre pi for a t*ip to Texas. - on the morning of the - 12th inst' We boarded No. 89 and in a short Nvhile we were rolled to the land -of the Far West, Haskelt; Tex. We arrived here on the 15th, and found the home of J. B. Tompkins to be one of delight. They met us with such, courtesy -that it made us feel that we were more than at home. As J.- B. Tompkins.- is a Pickens county boy, it might be interesting to the readers of the S.-J. to know something of his whereabouts and how he is getting along, so I will give the following: J. B. Tompkins first settled in Montague county and accumu lated a very nice home, which he sold for $5,000 and purchased a farm here in Haskell county, which is about 160miles further west. He has 2,800 acres of land, which the people say is worth $30 per acre. It's as fine as I ever saw. It is level, as is all the land that I have seen in this county. He has a big lot of stock-some of the finest mules I ever saw. Jie is breaking four mules now, that will be 3 years old next spring, that wtll weigh 1,000 pounds each. He has 160 head of as fine cattle as can be found anywhere. He says lie doesn't feed them anything only a little sorghum during the cold spell in the winter. and this ap plies to tfie mules and horses. He is not feeding any of his stock now only his work animals. Mr. Tompkins has a nice house in this town, which is the coun ty-seat, .an. which I will later describe. Also I will give to your readers a description of my whole trip, if you so desire. This little place is on a boom. It was only laid off 20 years ago, and remained at a standstill until five or six - years ago. Two years since brought a rail road. Now it is a town of 6,00( inhabitants, with business hous es of every description, fine an( costly private residences, tw4 high schools, etc. I have received an invitatior to visit the high schools, ani will go down to-day to the Soutl Ward school. Will say thes( buildings are constructed of ce ment, blocks and brick, and would be an honor to any largE city or town. Went to church last night, and we certainlyietijoyed it. The peo. ple met us in such a broad soul and spirit that we were delight ed, and sang as in our youthful days and we felt we were a boy again. If this appears in the S.-J. wvill have ir ore to say next time, as space would be too small to write all at once. J. U. GARRETT. Cotton Seed' Meal for Hogs. Make a mixture in bulk, about one-third cottLon seed meal and two-thirds gorn chops, whole corn, wheat bran, or shorts; mix with water to a thin mush in two vessels (an old barrel sawed in two is good) and leave to sour or ferment, which willl take from 12 to 48 hours, according to the weather and other conditions. Then feed from these alternate ly, using the contents of one, while that of the other is left to :sour. A good growing ration may be based bn one pound of dry mix ture per hundred pounds of live weight. For quick fattening this may be doubled, quad.rupled or even more largely increased. Indeed, the Texas 2xperiment Station fed as much as seven and a half pounds per day to 150-pound hogs, though this is oxtremie and uneconomical, if not .ositively dangerous. Wen ready to:-feed add fresh water to the feeding ration suffi -ci~1 to bring to a, thin slop, a tthe consisten'y of sweet ik, and\give the hogs a;ll they A will clea'ti ; All hos tit gttgedily and all Sthrive on it nthej rl ead ~ of the he letpu * thit for 6 giois it e b *0 Imoune 'Ath h,I thit hhf Cotton Mie briging 100 in Ploke rs are &el LAND SALE.
