BREEDING UP,

The Importance Of breeding up west
srn cattle is becoming more apparent
every year. Choice native steers, grad.
ed apinaaas, are now worth, on our mar
kct, $l.65 to $4.75 per hundred, while
corn-fed Texans only command 1855 to
1915, a difference Of 81 per hundred in
favor Of good native graded cattle. The
time is rapidly passing when large herds
of Spanish or Texas cattle can be ham
died in their original state with profit.
The West is filling up too fast, and each
year 10 adding to the expense of Texas
cattle. Even the best Of them are UNI
slightly. long-legged, long-horned, big
tointed, and fearfOlly split up behind.
They sell pretty well to becf-packcrs At
nominal prices; $3.50 is as much rs
many Of them bring in market. Take
. Texas steer three years old and he
will average 1000 pounds, and At $50
per hundred, Il il worth on the market,

@aRkct and We have left 81 20. But 4
may be urged that it costs much NOR
to raise the graded steer than the Texas
We'll, let Ms allow 90 for the cost o.
the Texas steer, which deducted from
the go, the net proceeds, and we have
go. Say the graded steer cost three
times o. much as the Texas, or $50
which deducted from the @61 20, leaves
>Sl.20 - the net proceeds Of the graded
against 80 for the Texas. While it
costs little more to raise good cattle,
the profit is greater, and there is some
pleasure in watching them develop into
finely formed beeves. There has been q
good deal done in the new West the
past few years towards breeding up,
but there is lots 10 do yet.
Col. J. L. Driscol, of Texas, who has
bought number of Short-horn bulls at
the Hamilton's sales here the past two
years, says he can tell his crossed calves
rs far as he can see them, and that they
are worth Sc to 81 per head more on
The range than straight Texas calves.
These are facts for western cattle men

INTERESTING TO SHEEP RAILS
Frs.

The following facts and figures from
late wool circular may prove of value
and interest to the sheep men of Sedg.
wick county. The official statistics
show an enormous growth of the wool
interest in Lyon as compared with 9th.
er counties throughout the State:
The improvements in the wool mar.
ket continues up to the present time,
and prices have advanced on different
classes Of stock from fifteen to forty
pcr cent. beyond May quotations. The
surplus Of goods has been worked of
and the opportunities for the future of
woolcns much improved. Our advice
to farmers is to sell promptly.
The excitement of the past two
months has been SO strong that deci-
ded speculative movement has been de-
veloped, and prices must sooner or later
decline under the influence of a dull
market which must follow the present
unusual activity.
A strong speculative element in Texas
has bought up the entire clip. The con-
disien Of western woods particularly is
better than usual, and they are in active
demand at present.

FEEDING CATTLE.


An Iowa farmer gives his experience
as follows:
Il am feeding some steers now that
were good grades, and were rather extra
calves, and were fed ut the troughs with
the beef cattle all of the shelled corn
they would eat for two-thirtls Of the
first winter, then they were turned with
stock cattle and had ordinary feed and
pasture till two and one-hslf years old.
They were then in very good condition
and averaged l,lSS pounds. They are
about three years old now. I bought
them last fall and have fed them with
about 100 other cattle that are now feed
ing for beef. They are doing the poor
est'of any. II is my opinion that if the
grain that was fed to them the first win
ter had been divided, one-shird fed to
them the first winter and the two-thirds
fed to them next winter they would have
been much better than they are now.
To let cattle Of, YOU lose the feed you
have fed to them while gaining the flesh
they lose, and the feed they ate while
losing it, besides they will not make as
good steers as If kept gaining all the
time. Any animal, If allowed to get
poor after once having been fat, will
never fatten rs well again.
Il am now feeding a steer which is
about three years old that weighed a
few days ago, 800 pounds He will
probably by the first of July next weigh
800 pounds. All that wOuld have been
necessary TO make the net profit ON him
81 less than it probably win be would
have been to have fed the same to him
he has eaten, and TO have extended The,
time of feeding it one year. These
would have been the loss Of iNtcrest for
one year ON the value Of the steer, 90,
at ten per cent, ~; . loss in weight Of
say 200 pounds ut five cents per pound,
$40: and loss Of fifty certs hundred
on say 80 pounds for lower grade
steer, SO.
''Cattle when change from green to
dry feed lose in short time from four
to eight per cent. Of their live weight.
A stocr may gain fifty pounds Of flesh
in a month when first changed from
green to dry feed, and yet weigh less
than when on green feed and he may
coon gain in thespring 100 pounds when
first put on green food, and lose it all
and more too while being shipped to
market. Cattle that have had full feed
Of corn shour have some corn when
turned on grsts.r

Yesterday morning, and the weather was
cloudy till noon. is quite cool this morn
