Heavy Stock shipments bv Rail

There seems to be decided revolution
IN the stock business, ms contrasted with
the early and simple ways of conducting it.
hailroads have wrought change to the ex.
tent OF aftording rapid transportation, not
considering the advanced business methods
that now govern stockmen, consequent up-
on the wonderfully increased value of
stock' the advance in the price Of grazing
iands' the pasturage and improvement of
animals, and growth of market centres in
stability of price, and firmness and reou-
larity of demand. The basis of these re-
marks is information furnished the renre.
sentative of the Stock Journal that y CON
tract has just been made by freight agent
Oh the International and Great Northern
railway for the transportation of 10000
head OF cattle, by rail, to Wichita Falls. ON
the hoof. This, it is claimed, is the largest
contract OF the kind ever made In the state
as the trail has heretofore been taken in
preference to railroad transportation. This
indicates that there is an inclination to
abandon the old and only original way of
getting live stock into Northwestern mar.
kets. The railroad agent it is said, has al
SO closed contract for the shipment of
7,OOO head of horses to Northern markets.
Ihls stock will come from the pastures of
the country south and southeast of San An
tonic, and will reach the railway at sta
mons intermediate between this and Lare-

Not no BAD.

Soon after the late cbld spell, the Pan
handle mentioned that thousands of dollars
worth of cattle had died. This. we pre.
sumo, Is what set the rumor Iloat that this
section had been usually Unfortunate IN
the loss OF stock during the cold weather
OF short time back. While thousands of
'llars worth of cattle have died on ac-
count of the cold weather, yet when we
take into consideration the almost fabulous
herds that range here, and get at the per
centlge of loss, it dwi ndled into insignifi-
canoe. We have questioned every stock
man that has been in Mobeetie for the past
two weeks, and nearly every range has
been represented and they all estimate that
one per cent. will cover the entire loss,
and the greater part of this Is confiued to
through cattle that were brought here late
in the fall, and turned loose on new range
and thin in order. We trust those who
have been instrumental in helping to
spread the first report, will be just rs free
and willing to circulate this last, which
may be relied upon as the true state of af-
fairs In the Panhandle. Panhandle.

Contrary to previous experiences tie ay.
erage losses by the severity of the winter
have been heavier iii the southern portion
OF the state than In the north and north
west. Cattle went into the winter In 4
better condition in the-northern rangesth5n
other sections; were better supplied With
grass and water. The force OF the great
storm reached further than usual and had
more effect OIL the southern cattle because
their condition was not good enough to
stand the storms always experienced IN
more northern ATTITUDES. Usually the south
has the advantage; this yeat fine freezing
line was blown into the gulf and troubles
were more equally distributed.
