WY and care for the cattle of other

No. for beef or butter.
, .r..or.. can be novalid excuse for such

et.,,.s In our state upon which cam

sn,,ties and of good quality, at q
,ot exceeding two dollars per ton.
s co. not make the attempt? Your
,namittee are of the opinion that the
no has come and the opportunity is
hand for the Improvement of our
sosk and they earnestly urge upon all
begin at once.
We live in progressive age. The
.r.of OK carts and stage coaches have
.sed. and every avocation in life Is
saidIy adjusting itself TO the new con-
Sitjon Of things.
Wil the stock breeders of Texas con
,a,s 10 travel the same road that was
sad Inv their fathers, or will they rec
sri,c the necessities of the hour and,
uTognizing them, "gird up their
M ike men" and secure for them
ives and posterity the position that
,ehtfully belongs to them?
W. believe they will, and confident
anticipate the time when Texas
I'M produce not only the largest guam
M but the best quality of beef and
hitter Of any country In the world.
HORSES AND SHEEP.
1rnon these branches of live stock
onr committee do not deem 1t neces-
sssary to say more than that
fhe same necessity exists rs
y their improvement that Is called for
a the cattle interest. Texas can and
ksillproducc more mutton and wool,
Gnd better mutton and wool, than any
Ether state or country. Everything Is
kheep men af Texas cannot and will
hot lag behind their brethren of other
lands, and will take their places In the
ksry first ranks of the wool producing
Countries of the world. The advanta-
les are withNus, and we should make
haste to make them available.
And so with our horse stock. Bone,
Rnuscle and flesh, with the accompani-
knents of speed, strength aud endu-
Rance, can be produced ~ cheaply and
lis well here as elsewhere. The native
ktock furnishes splendid basis upon
which to breed up classes OF horses that
Mill hold their own upon any field,
And along any drive, and with every
competitor from whatever quarter he
bnay come.
Texas is no longer an unknown
world, the home of savage tribes, and
Nj still wilder white men. Her vast
resources and immense capabilities,
hre rs well known in the marts of
Europe, IA the railroad enterprises OF
and Jay Gould. If we
hill not utilize them others will. In
khe contest, the tittest will survive.
Let us not prove the weakest in the
|mnfict, but bring to ourselves every
advantage that may be necessary To
|the secu rement of certain victory.
Respectfully submitted,
JosKPH ID. SAVERS, Chairman.
