Says an exchange: ''In what is known
a the Black Hills country are about
$4,000 head of cattle, exclusive of
work stock, while careful computation
places the number in Dakota at 10000
head. A year ago two year Odds were
worth on an average SlS per head, they
are now worth S26, making an increase
in value of SO per head Shipments
will be very heavy this season.
Messrs. McCord, Nave & Co, who,
for many years have conducted several
large wholesale grocery establishments
in the west, have turned their attention
partially to cattle, having engaged the
Nave McCord Cattle company. They
start with a capital Of $3.50, 900 and
purchased a ranch of $4,000 acres in
Cara county, Texas, with $500 cattle
and will add, it is stated, about :. 500
more this fall.
According to the Boomerang, Mr.. S.
H. Kennedy, the sheep dip man, will
this winter erect at Laramie City, two
large shearing sheds with tables and
other appliances for handling the clip
the next season. He will build one OF
these covered corrals on each side of
the dipping cOrrals and tanks on the
river and probably furnish wool sacks,
Irvine and first class shearers so that
sheep owners may at one trip, shear,
dip and market with no worry OF au-
noyance whatever.
Laramie Times: Last Summer a few
of our citizens, who had but little money
to invest in any enterprise. organized
what is now called the Laramie Live
Stock association, - with 81, 600 capital,
but the actual amount of money they
had to invest was only S4 0 This
amount they invested in sheep which
were let out in shares, and they have just
figured up the returns for the first year
which amounts to forty-six per cent. on
the amount Of capital invested. This is
no guess work as they know just how
many lambs they have raised and what
they are worth in the open market.
The wool has been weighed and they
know just what they can get for it in
this city, so that they can tell to a frac-
ton just what the profits are.
The Palo Blanco Cattle company has
IN outfit gathering beeves, which will
be held in pasture on the Rafael and
driven or shipped about the first of the
month. The beeves are cattle which
should have been marketed last year,
but when they matured had drift
ed far below the outfit organized in the
hunt at that time, and consequently
were not brought in. There will be
about 800 head in the bunch, and Man
ager WOODWORK, who will ship to the
Chicago market, is undecided whether
to ship from Springer over the Santa
Fe road to Kansas City or drive the
bunch to Pueblo and take advantage of
the new through line of the c., B. &
9. railroad direct from Denver + Chi
cago. A number of our stock
are seriously considering such a course,
and the plan will very likely be carried
out il the Santa Fe road does not make
good rates to permit them to ship to
Chicago. They argue that there is no
reason why they cannot be given as
good rates as are secured from the
Union Pacific railway by Wyoming
and Nebraska stock growers, who are
only taxed 800 per car from Ogallala to
Chicago.-fNews and Press, Ration,
