CATTLE ON THE PIAINS.-The season for mar
ke'ing western cattle is now over, and ranch
men are all busy in preparing winter camps.
Inc past year, Notwithstanding the severe
drought in Southwestern Kansas. Southern
Colorado and New Mexico, has been u fairly
profitable one with these cattle men. IL any
thlng the percentage OF good or fat cattle has
in the history OF the trade. This. perhaps, was
largely due to the infusion OF new and pure
blood into western herds the past few years:
there being this fall a number OF droyes of
really good, smooth. straight and blocky cattle
In from Colorado. Prices, while not high. have
ruled fully as good as in 1878, and in some in
stances better. AS whole ranchmen seem
satisfied with their years work, and the west
ern cattle interest was never In more healthy
condition than now.
