Besides Ibis vast extent of fertile

will subduc this Wilderness, - the
raising Of cattle, for which DO is SO
well adapted. i: costs 40 more To
raise IL bullock in TcEAs that will
weigh si~ hundred lbs, than it does
to raise = Chicken in Ohio There Is
no provision made in WcNas for
wintcring cattle. They winter
themselves on the 2ich prairie gri'.3.
There is not much rain in the tore
part Of the winter. and the, ol3
grass is but little injured, until the
new crop Begins to grow il the
spring. .a
The comiAon prairie grass ocIc&-
as, is Of u less growth then the
grass Of out western prajr'es and
IS Of IL finer quality, In .Ac south
west part OF Texas the moskGto
grass is toul'd. 1t is Of 4 laYuriant
growth and resembles The English
blue grnss--the lower part remains
green all winter. TIE Eatteuing
properties Of this is equal to our
tame gras&es.
Texas il capable of producing, at
Ioaet tw6aty-fve cattle, whore sho
now prod0ces but,ono. Texas in
1870, furnished the city OF New
York; forty thousand cattle. But
four, years since only iorty-iour
! h4au Of Texas eat tIc were scHt to
, the New York market,
With tic economy ofthe TaXans,
in keeping all Of their females TO.
breed from, it will not be many
years until Texas will be we'll stock
cd with cattle. And in less than
two years she will bo connectcd
with us tr railroads, besides the
many ships that are begir3'ng to
carry cattle by sGa to the sor'hcrn
and eastern cities.
In the Slaughter houses chat are
| in operation on the scGboard of
/ Texas. thousands OF cattle arc an
nually Filled, ana millions more
will Gc packed and shipped to The
different markets OF the world.
EightcGh Gears ago, stoamboat loads
of cattle were Shipped from Missou-
ri to New Orleans. But now cat
tie are shipped tile other way.
With all these facts staring - in
the face, can we of Ohio expect To
make it pay IN the future raising
beef cattle as a business The
thinking farmers of Ohio will thor
oughly investigate these facts, an!l
shape their futarc business accord
