Thecommittc on grazing and fencing re
ported as follows;
To the Hon. james Miller President Of the
Texas Stock Association:
Your committee on grazing aud fencing
would respectfully suggest that there is
an urgent necessity for some law rcgulat
ing tho rental value or to proportion the
number OF stock within nn enclosure, where
tho land therein is owned by different pro,
pricIors, and they cannot agree us to such
rental valao or TO the number of stock
which each party may pasture in such on.
closure, and would suggest 10 the legisla.
ture OF our state The passage OF law In
substance, Ms follows.
That whenever any person, firm or Coypor.
alton shall enclose lands belonging to them.
selves or those they control and shall include
in such enclosure lands belonging TO another
or other persons, aud the party 50 enclosing
such lands, and the smaller land proprietor
therein cannot agree ~ to the rental value
OF the lands OF such smnller land proprietor,
or II he desires TO Craze the same, and they
cannot agree IA 10 the number of stock
which each shall pasture Within said ON.
closure, respectively, then that either
party may petition tho county ju lgo
OF the county wherein such pas.
tnrc may DO situated, setting forth
the particular facts OF The case, with
same, and which petition shalt he served
upon the opposite party, with notification
OF the time fixed by the judge for the
hearing Of the same, which shall not excee cd
thirty days from the fixing OF said
petition, and II the disagreement
between tho parties shall be only as to tho
rental value OF the land, thon the county
Judge shall hear the evidence thereon and
enter such degree and judgmcrt as no may
deem Just and equitable; and in the event
that tho disagreement shall be as to the
number OF stock which each party may
pasture within such enclosure, then such
county Judge shall appoint commission
OF three disintcrosed stock men of the
county, who, upon hearing tho evidence,
shall fix the number of stock which each
party may pasture Within such enclosure;
and In fixing the same they shall not take
| into consideration the cost of tho copstruc.
ton OF tho enclosure. The smaller land
proprietor i'to have tho benefit OF such en-.
closure free; aud such commission may
award costs against either party, or divide
the same, as 1t may appear 10 them Just,
and shall be entitled to 81 per
day while sitting rs such commission; and
said commission, Immediately upon max.
ing such reward, shall deliver tho same TO
the county Judge OF the county, who shall
enter decree upon tho same with nm in.
junction that neither party to such con,ro.
versy shall pasture within such cnclosure n
greater number of stock than that awarded
or decreed.
Your committee would further rerom.
mend to tho consideration and for final NO.
zion OF our legislature, AN amendment to the
law in regard to the promiscuous dostruc.

ened. which cannot fail but TO rebound to
the benefit, moi only OF the stock interests,
but also every people amongst whom Iexas
beef aud butter shall be Distributed, the
committee goes on 10 state that II cannot
be denied but that great improvement can
vet be made upon the l0ne-norns OF Texas
and specifics the following ADVANTAGES that
csn be drawn In the improvement OF native
Texan stock by the breeding OF sires drawn
from other kinds Of cattle;
First. In the weight and value per pound.
Second. IL enables the animal not only TO
take ON larger amount, but also better
quality Of flesh In a given time Third.
lnat whereas the native stock only sup.
plies one demand "a to beef, the improved
answers every call that the most lHstidi us
appetite can desire. In other words, while
the natives OF Texas ilnd but one market,
the thOroughbreds are in demand IN every
mart in the world. The committee here
states that Il is scarcely possible for the
ancient long-horn TO develop the highest
aud best grades of been. Fourth. Heavy
weight and early maturity are the great
characteristics of improved heei-producing
herds. and In those particulars such cattle
can not be riyalled by the purely native
stock. The committee also reports that
the great objection, that the peculiarities Of
exhaustive travel, an important item to
Texas siockmen, is being rapidly obviated
by the long lines Of railways that now are
penetrating tho state in every direction,
bringing every county In close connection
with all markets, both IN this county aud
Europe, and which will soon do away with
entirely the old trail" Through these
agencies the improved cattle can be carried
as safely as the l0ng-horns aud at less ex'
pense per pound.
Second. That while the demand is con.
slan,ly increasing that the supply oi i'm
proved stock IN many counties ~ steadily
decreasing, aud that this state, IN order To
supply the increased demand for this kind
Of stock, that combines the possibility of
acquiring the greatest aud finest amount Of
flesh In the least time and at the least cx.
pense, must improve its cattle, Then why
could II not hold the market against every
aggressOr7 having as she does, every al.
vantage in climate aud soil. Tho ability
not only to raise common, but the finest
stock, and also TO produce every kind OF
food necessary to sustain it,
Third, That the raising OF improved
cattle In Texas has never yet been slyen .
fair trial. II the blo0dcd stock of other
countries were treated as they are here
thoy long since would haSo been utterly
useless for beef and butter. There is then
no excuse for such treatment OF cattle and
few ranches In the state whore hay can
not be cut at an expense OF " per ton.
Then why not make the attempt Your
committee arc Of the opinion That the time
has come Tor the improvement of your
stock and they earnestly urge II upon your
attention. The nge is progressive one,
