TOP PANHANDLE HOGS.
Load From Swisher County Outsells Others on
This Market
The Texas Panhandle again
had the honor of topping the hog
market today. A load sent in
from Swisher county, consigned
by J. M. McXaughton, averaging
272 pounds, sold at STtXn. O. S.
Currie, part owner of the hogs,
accompanied the shipment and
of course felt good over the way
they sold. Mr. Currie says
there is a large number of hogs
in Swisher county, and they have
proved so profitable that farm
ers are getting more interested
in that branch of live stock rais
ing. They are raising high bred
hogs, for that is the kind that
mature early and put on fat, and
bring good prices. There is no
better place for hogs than the
plains, for there they are notice
ably free from cholera aad other
swine diseases.
The foregoing clipping taken
from the Fort Worth Live St-ck
Reporter but goes to confirm the
statements often made in these
columns that the Plains country
raises the linest and best hogs
in the state or the south for that
matter.
Mr. McXaughton lives across
the line in Swisher county near
Happy and is an earnest advo
cate in diversification not only in
soil crops but in crops of all
kind of animals. He thinks there
is always a good profit to be
made from hogs here.
VIRGINIANS COMING, TOO.
Farmers From Eastern State Buy Land and
Will Establish Farms in Randall County.
Through one of our local real
estate firms seven people from
Virginia recently visited our
.county and each of the seven
bought land near this city. They
all expressed themselves as be
ing glad that they had come out
to this country to investigate it,
and the expression was further
ratified by their purchases.
These seven men expect to
come out to this country during
this winter and early spring and
will develop the land which they
bought into modern farms.
With the large increase com
ing from northern and north
western states, and an influx of
farmers from the east there is
going to be the best development
! in this country the coming year
I that we have ever seen.
New Telephone Manager.
Sid Stephenson, who has been
located for some time in Mem
phis, has arrived in this city and
taken charge of the management
of the affairs of the local tele
phone exchange.
The Pretly Weather.
The Plains of Texas have al
ways been noted for their fine
weather but for all this notoriety
a person could hardly expect
such weather as we have been
having during the past week, at
this season of the year. It has
neither been too hot nor has it
been too cold just that pleasant,
mild temperature which is agree
able to any person who has any
thing like an agreeable mind. If
anyone has had any fault to find
with what the weather bureau or!
whoever runs the temperature of
this country lias been sending
out to us this week, it is time he
looks after his liver.
