Durham, president; J. +. Studebaker, vice
president; ]. NJ. Studebaker treasurer;
and John A. Witter, secretary and mana
ger, with his office at Denver, Colorado.
Although recently organized. the arrange
ments OF the company have been rapidly
pushed to completion, and it already has
on It's range of 400 square miles on the
Box Elder and South Platte, fifty miles
east oil Denver. 500 mares weighing from
200 to 600 pounds, and twenty imported
Percheron Norman stations weighing from
l,6OO to 800 pounds. The latter will be
kept in the stables and corrals. The mares

ing time of the next season.
The following is taken from the Kansas
City Price Current: The growing Interest
IN hne cattle throughout the west is a most
encouraging sign. And while new breeds
are attracting attention and our breeders
and ranchmen are willing to give them all
"a full and fair trial. and pay handsomely
Tor hne animals, OF whatever class, IL is en-
couraging TO know that the old and favor
lite breed-short- horns-has lost nothing
by competition with these newer inpora-
lions, The short-horns still have firm
hold upon the affections of the farmer IN
ms country, ana at no period of Meir his
tory did they ever stand higher than now
Their many excellent qualities make them
u very desirable cattle, No animal lines
and ribs better than they and puts on flesh
iaster. They are pretty beast, and most
/ profitable bOth for the farmer and feeder.
| We are speaking OF good animals now, cat
Tie with individual MIR as well as pedi-
gree-animsls tn thave constitution as we'll
as good blood, and, when fat do not show too
much daylight under them. The word
"short-horn" is very general term Just
! now. The whole Durham family lay claim
TO 6elng short-horns. IL Is the largest fam,
| lily of fine cattle in America by many times
and OF course has many "back sheep" in
H. Then again there are many carelessly-
bred animals who claim to have sprung
nom good families but, like many of the
human race who once stood well, seem to
have refrigerated. Hence it is not sHrpris.
| ing that we get the sale of so many COM
paratiyely cheap animals. Take the tops
OF the short-horns and they sell as well as
the tops of any breed, and when you come
to fancy animals, they have in the past
outsold anythingin the way of bovines.
