be developed upon new plan, the
copartnership, or cooperative prisci-
pie, which has enriched the world. The
other fact is that the world calls for more
meat and good butter than can be supplied
at almost any price. Texas stock-raisers arr

States, and pushing US deeper into the bog

calves to ipcrease the value of their herd
and monopoliIe the beef-raising business Of
the Southwest. Ours is a superior place fol
cattle-raising to Texas, except that ther'
larger pastures can be occupied.
