called to in THE HERALD a few weeks

presumed with very good reason
that he had been sent there from
a neighboFing state. The man is about
80 years of age; and, when questioned,
was entirely non-committsl, except on
the subject of fighting. by which he thinks
he can distinguish himself, and VIII be

This cbmnfe.

"A gentleman Of New Jersey has written
to know if the climate of south central
Kansas has all injurious effect on the cattle
raised In the states as far north as Iowa or
Wisconsin, when removed to that part of
the state for breeding purposes. j. T.
True, Of jefferson county, answers the
questions in, the last Kansas City Indicator
by saying:
'No-there Is nothing in our climate. soil
or grass in any part of our state that has
an Injurious effect in any way on cattle
raised in any Of the states. On the other
hand either the native cattle Of Kingman
county or Ithose taken from any northern
state to that section, grow and develop to
great perfection. have no doubt the dy-
ing of cattle' in years past throughout
southern Kansas from Spanish or Texas
fever, has given rise to the erronous opin-
ion as to cattle from northern states being
subject to disease. These losses in cattle
were caused, as is we'll understood In the
west, by the native or northern cattle COM
ing In contact with, or grazing on the same
grounds, or drinking from the same water
during the same months with cattle from
Texas. that had been driven into those parts
during the summer months. The same
Texas cattle if they had passed through the
state Of New York or New Jersey in the
same condition would have imported the
same disease. Our laws now prohibit such
Texas cattle from coming to Kingman
county, ,ssor any part .of the state, excepting
the far western portion, and the vigilence
of the people see to it that the law is strict
| ly enforced"

A New Stock Rance.

The Gunneson reservation i'm Colorado
islbeing written up as the coming stock graz
ing district. The best section lies south of
the Gunneson and Grand rivers and includes
the Uncomphagre, San Miguel and Dalores
valleys, strip Of country fifty miles wide
and one hundred and fifty miles long. The
altitude ranges from 4,500 to $500 feet,and
though snow falls frequently In winter, il
does not lie on the ground long only on
the highest plateaus, in the lower valleys
it seldom lies week. A description OF
this country is summed up by the Colorado
Farmer in this way:
1.-The face of the country is generally
sloping, but cut by gulches, ravines and can.
+yons; grass grows luxuriantly from the
creek and river bottoms, TO the very tops
of the highest plateaus on the higher up
lands there are plenty of pine and pinor
trees, In many places mterspersed witt
cedar and aspens many small brooks ant
springs course their way down the hill sides
natural shelter is found in every neigbor-
hood from storms when they come, which
is seldom. Game abounds In the creates
plenty, and taken all in all it is probabl,
the finest stock range in the state
