The North Park ranges are attract
ing considerable attention. Besides
the thousands of cattle already feeding
there. several large herds of horses will
be turned upon the mountain girt
ranges. Says a Collins exchange: "a
herd of $40 head of Texas horses,
owned and driven by Messrs. Smith
and Edmunds, of San Antonio Texas,
will pass through Collins in a day or
two, on their way to North Park"
Says a Warm Springs correspondent
of the Boomerang 1.-THE ranchmeE
are all gathering hay or beef cattle,
and in that line they seem to be very
busy, and very few of them have time
to come to the Springs; but from what
l a learn they have gathered their
cattle well. There is a fine prospect
for good beef when the market will
warrant them to ship"
We had a visit from Mr.. Morgan
this month, in which he advises us that
he has completed arrangements at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, for the breeding
of thoroughbred and graded Hereford
cattle on a large scale. We are glad
to know that these arrangements are
now perfected; it has been our desire
to have such breeding establishments
on the plains; we believe them to be
entirely practical, and once established
are sure to be a success. The cattle
men of the plains will adopt them.
We ase very glad to find that the claims
that we have put forth for the Here
fords, and the plans that we have made
are being adopted.-[Breeders' Live

A disease has made its appearance
among cattle in the vicinity of Mound
City, Kansas. When it first makes its
appearance it manifests itself by the
formation of a over the eye.
This rapidly increases in thickness,
and in a very few days the animal be-
comes entirely blind. inflammation sets
in, and in some instances the ball OF
the eye has burst.

Besides this number he has alread,
sold and delivered one thousand heat
of %half-breed feeders to Missouri, ant
has contracted and will sell abou
twenty-five hundred more in the west
ern states, making a total of this year
beef crop of $500 head. Mr.. Beal
has been identified with the western
cattle trade for 81 years. His pasture
in the Pan Handle of Texas embrac'
over three hundred thousand acres o
the best watered grazing lands in tina
section, inclosed by 120 miles of wir'
fence. He has used Short horn bull
until two years ago, when the Hereford
cross on the Short-horn foundation
was tried. They brand about tel
thousand calves this year, the proper
tion being about six thousand 6ve-hun
dred Short-horns and the rest Hereford
cross. Mr.. Beale's cattle are well bred
considering the size of the herd. Tn
basis of this improved breeding wa
established as early as 1871, Mr.. Beal,
having driven down into that countr,
$500 head of cattle from the states
500 of which went from central low
and were high grade Short-horns, tn
rest from Missouri were good ones
All the valuable ranges accessible t.
water in the Pan Handle have beef
taken up and Mr.. Beale and his friend
were fortunate in securing their title
in an early day, while their presen
possessions were roamed over by tn,
buffalo and the wild tribes of Indian
alone.-[Drovers' Journal.
