STOCK SQUlBS.
Points and Items About Kansas Stock
A yearling bull weighing 100 pound;
was exhibited at Augusia recently.
The trotting horse "Joe Young" which
has been making tour of the fairs in
the Eastern part Of the State, is owned
| by citizen of Peabody.
The Leavenworth papers of a few days
ago noted the fact of two horses, the
property of livery man, which were
hired out at the time. being driven to
death. There must be some very inhu.
man and brutal people in that city.
A Kansas stock-raiser recommends the
following for hog cholera: Dip ears OF
corn in Carolina tar, besmearing them
and throw them among the hogs They
will eat it greedily, and in week all
will be on the road to recovery. Anoth-
er remedy have used successfully is
that of feeding in the ear, which has
been charred black.
A. NJ. Whittlesey, of Emporia, had a
horse stolen from his pasture short time
ago. After being gone about week it
returned, but its back bore the sure
marks of the saddle, its head of the bri.
die and halter, and it returned poorly
shod. having left the pasture week ago
IDENTIFY ridden it home and then turned
the animal loose.
Council Grove Cosmos: Mcpherson
called us over to his stables, to show us a
fine colt from his fine mare. The dam
is herself by Ehrichson. The sire is
Woodfeld, No. 2192. trotting register,
who is owned by F. NJ. Dwelle. of Lake
View farm. Wood6eld is by Woodlawn,
descendant of Rysdick's Hambletonian,
through one of its most popular branches,
and his blood combines that of Pilot, Jr.,
Mambrino Chief and Clay, all very noted
strains.
Burlingame Chronicle: Mr.. Chas. Man
rose, deputy sheriff of this county, was
in the city a few days ago. He informed
us that he had just returned from ten
miles north of Burlingame, where he
had been sent by County Clerk Cottrell
to investigate the disease which made its
appearance among the cattle there some
days since. He reports the loss of four
head by MIR. J. Luf. two head by E. F.
Galberth, one by W. A. Craig, and one
by Jas. Moore. Each of the gentlemen
named have number of head yet affect
ed. The disease is called by some
"bloody murrain," and the cattle lost
thus far lived only two or three days after
the first symptoms were shown.
Caldwell Journal: C. c.. Clark, of
Treadwell & Clark, was in the city few
days ago in peck of trouble. The par
ties who were holding a large lot of
through yearling steers, which had just
been branded at Hunnewell, drove them
to the west side of the quarantine
grounds, and thinking they had struck
the east line of Garland & Corzine's pas
ture pulled up couple Of posts and
turned the cattle in. 1t was after dark
when the cattle reached the fence, and
hence the mistake. Instead of its Deing
the beef pasture. it was Treadwell d
Clark's stock cattle pasture, in which are
grazing several.hundred fine half.breed,
domestic and thoroughbred cattle. The
next morning the mistake was discov-
cred and the through cattle removed,
but not, however, until they had thor
oughly mixed themselves up with the
pasture cattle. Some of them remained
in the pasture two or three days, and the
result cannot even be guessed at now.
The loss of fully two-thirds Of the pas
ture cattle may follow. and then again,
none of them may become affected with
the fever. It is impossible to tell wheth-
er Treadwell 4 Clark will lose $4,000 or
nothing by this unfortunate mistake
The ranchmen and drovers cannot be too
careful about mixing up through and
Wintered cattle this season, as the Texas
fever appears to be worse than usual
and more deaths have occurred by it
this year than ever before. Mr.. Clark
will watch his cattle closely for the next
ten days.
Manhattan Republic: The words of one
Of the most prominent stock-raisers in
this county, and in the West, frequently
come to mind when we refer to stock in
terests. We were talking about Short
horns, and the necessity of being on the
alert to keep up the standard of the
breed, that it would not do to rest on
laurels won. "No," SAID he, "there is
no standing still: one must keep up with
the progress of the times or get left"
This was last Spring, over in Milford,
and our companion was G. NJ. Clifford.
Since that date our friends at Elmwood
have not been standing still. They have
made one public sale, getting the highest
average prices for any such lot of cattle
ever sold in Kansas. Next they went to
Kentucky and purchased several splen-
did animals, paying 1929 for one COW,
the highest price ever paid for q Flat
Creek Mary. The Giffords practice just
what they preach. There are many far
mers in this vicinity who make stock
raising specially. They are successful
because they are progressive and large
minded. We believe caring for superior
animals makes one more liberal. Ger
tainly most of our stock-raisers are large
hearted men, at least SO far as We are
concerned we have no fault to find with
their patronage. If stock-raisers were
ever so close listed, we should advocate
hogs, for the public good. 1t pays the
farmer to raise good animals and to feed
his corn. When we find man who
says, There is no standing still; jump on
the car of progress or you will get left"
it is safe enough to follow his advice, and
such man pays his bills without growl-
ing; he who pays thousand dollars for
single animal is not likely to hang to a
five-cent piece when it becomes neces-
sary to part with it for the good of his
herd.
