FROM DIMMITT, TEXAS. I have not seen anything in The of late from any of the corre- spondent3, except the Egg Man of on Hill, who wrote a good letter ln tho Iast ls3Ue of tne paper. I see in his lettr that our old frieudi. Tom Jnes, of Oklahoma, is visiting old 1 Wends In Brazos. I had a letter from m' wife and eldest son, who are visit- inS relatives and friends near Millican.

Tne' sav J- Chenault and family, of Oklahoma, are down there on a IIol)e tnev have al lia(1 a time and a nierry Christmas. I would have liked to be with them. We have had. very mild, pleasant weather up to January 1, when there came a cold, clear notrher, nnd on the 2nd of January I think it was as cold as I have ever seen on the plains, and this 'is my tenth winder here. I being alone (after the boys had gone to school), I decided I would spend the day with a neighbor who lives just one mile -east of me.

So I put on my overcoat and pulled my cap down over my ears and started. I walked, trotted and ran, but when I got there the left slue of my face was nearly frozen and my left eye being exposed to the cold wind caused It to water considerably, so I kept it closed, and when I got to my bachelor friend's home my left eye was frozen up and I could not open it till I got the Icicles off my eye lashes. That Is cold some, Isn't it? V. S. D.

HAS WELL'S BOOK STORE to the puma On account of the recent revision lowering the Inter-State rates on mixed feeds, I have been enabled to gctVxclusive sale of the Ni'triline brand of Mixed Feed, made at Crowley, La. This feed was recommended to me personally by Prof.

F.S. Til-son, chemist of Houston, as being the feed from an analytical standpoint, ottered to th public, and from his personal experience, and the amount of business being done wherever this feed is introduced justified him in saying that it would meet every requirement. This feed consists of ground corn, alfalfa, rice polish ami a small amount of cotton seed meal, steam cooked with black strap molasses. This is a mixture of standard feeds raised to a higher feed value by the addition of molasses and steam cooking. It is a perfectly balanced ration and by Government Reports this Stock Food is rated at 101 as compared with oats and the Dairy Feed at 107.

In feeding oats 25 per cent is not digested and is easily digested. The price of Nutriline is $1.50 hundred. You can make your own calculation as to economy. Remember that every sack is guaranteed. 1 submit this new feed to you for a trial believing it will meet every requirement.
