CHA1A, Jaue -
Permit me, through the columns Of your e8-
ce!lens paper, to cali the attention Of capital
lists and stock-raisers to tho excellent oppor-
tunity fur investment now being offered in
Texas cattle in Eebraska. Just now, that
there il u marked quielnegs in the commercial
interests Of the country, and large amounts Of
money are lying idle, or seeking profitable
real estate Investment, It may be truly said
that no better field opens itself to the country
than the magnificent agricultural lands along
the line Of the great hans-continen high
way. Up to this time, Indiana, nli-
nois, Wisconsin, and lows have received
large proportion ct the emigration, but
20 valuable Is to drive it further westward,
md hence Kansaa and Nebraska are receiving
nov large numbers Of sturdy enigyants, who
can take their homesteads on government
lands, or buy from tho railroad company at
from three to five dollars IN acre, within easy
reach Of the road and market.
These lands afford the finest opportunity for
the raising and grazing Of stock Of any in tho
country. The millions Of unoccupied acres in
the States and Territories vest Of the Missouri
River, are natures own feeding grounds,
where, by the splendid inter1ninsling or YAK
10y, bluff, water aud ciioste, cattla can be
wlntered without shelter; :nd TO these States
and Territories the country is rapidly corning
to look for its beef, The foundation for this in-
terest is nov being1aidin the establishment Of
depot for the concentration Of Te1as cattle 1t
Schuyler. in the very heart Of Nebraska, where
there will be otfar.d this season oysr 81, 900
head Of beef and e:ack cattle Of every grade.
These cAtt.e can be bought at almost nomi-
nal figures, TH: S25 for beef and s11 for
stock cattle, comprising equal quantities Of
yeatGnge, two year olds, and caws. The beef
cattle can be fattcned upon Nebraska glass; in
four months. to an average Of 1,300 pounds,
| and when fat command from si1 to seven cents
per pound gross weight in tho Chicago mar
| kes, showing, over Ill expenses Of keeping and
| shipping, a profit Of from SIS to s20 per tlead
Again. the Union Pacific Railroad hare cs-
| tab]ishcd a line OF refrigerator cars, by which
| this beef can be slaughtered IN Nebraska aud
c41s;s5 II summer, fresh, to New York OF San
/ tfancisco, and save greatly in freights.
| Three through trunk Gues OF railroad from
OmAha to Chicago afford all the competition
| in freights thst could be asked for, and more
than is offered By any other point IN tho West.
Could auy better investment be found for cap
| ital, In the present unsettled condition Of the
commercial interests of the country, than to
buy these Western landar md stock them with
| Texas cattle. The cattle can ba kept and fat
tened, winter or summer, with only the coat Of
[ beruing, and will pay largo profit on the in
| ycstment, while the landa 2ro Adding 50 par

consider this question, and grarp while the cp-
portunity offers, and before tho field ID occa-
