So many cattle are lost in corn field
r that it begins to look as if it would b,
better to keep them up.
VIM. B. Challacombe, of Eden town
by building about four miles of post-and
wire fence.
) Three carloads of cattle and five car
loads of sheep were shipped to Kansa
City from Severy on Monday and Tues
day of this week.
The Bronson Pilot, published on the
line of Bourbon and Allen counties
says that the cattle disease is still
raging with undated fatality in that vi
cinity.
Col. Brown, a capitalist of Clyde, is re-
ported to have purchased eleven sections
of railroad land near Museum, Sheridan
county, with the intention of establish.
ing stock ranch.
When cattle are affected with black.
leg bleed them in the bottom of the foot
of the diseased leg. 1t is said to be a
sure cure for that dread disease. It must
be done when they show the first symp.
toms.
Strong City Independent: Mr.. s. F. Jones
has sold 80 head of his high-grade Here
ford calves. Recently he had a view of
his superb buildings and farm taken,
| hDxu hn Of In
Winter.
John Oswald, farmer living eight
miles northwest of Atchison, has lost
twenty fat hogs in three days from chol-
era. He has sixty others sick with the
disease, and any one knowing a remedy
is requested to address him through the
Atchison postotfice. The hogs of his
! neighbOrs are also afflicted.
w. w. HASTE has pig with four well
developed ears. 1t is, indeed, a cuuiousty.
OF large litter it is the incest and best
developed pig, except that it has an
extra pair of conspicuous ears. Mr..
HASTE is by no means anxious to sell it,
but $1,000 offer from Barnum might
tempt him to part with this extraordi-
nary wonder.
Medicine Lodge Cresset: ]. w. Lard,
who formerly held cattle on Walnut,
came in last week with ninety-eight
head of cattle which he had shipped
from Arkansas for Mr.. Chaplin. Mr..
Lard was surprised at the marked
change in the country, and tells US he
has concluded that the day of the little
Arkansaw in Barber county is about
ended. A larger class of cattle must be
grown hereafter.
Beloit Gazette: Mr.. Slater White came
in from West Liberty, Iowa, with two
two-year-old Short-horn bulls and six
two-y ear old heifers, all thoroughbred
and registered in the American Herd
book. This gives Mr.. White a herd
about fifteen registered thoroughbreds
and as many more high grades. There
is probably not finer bunch of cattle in
the country than these, and Mr.. White
proposes to keep them up to the highest
standard and will soon have herd of
Short-horns second to none in the State.
Wichita Eagle: Mr.. J. G. Mccoy, who
was delegate to the st. Louis Stock
mems convention, showed us a white
metal medal, which has been sent to
each member of the convention in the
name of the citizens of st. Louis. The
medal is about the circumference of
double eagle and twice as thick. The
diverse side bears in bass relief, a cow
boy standing beside steer, the reverse
boblet bearing the words: "Souvinor
of the citizens Of st. Louis" This side
also bears an impression Of the big
bride, exchange building, etc.
Ness City Meas: There has been more
land enclosed with fence within the year
just past than during all previous period |
of the settlement of the country. One
can scarcely go in any direction but that
he will encounter post-and.wire fences. |
These enclose large areas of pasture |
land, and large herds of cattle and horses |
seem to roam and feed contentedly with
in. This is certain evidence Of the |
prosperity of the people of the county.
Stockmen say that stock of all kinds does |
much better where permitted to roam at |
will in pastures than where herded. Let |
more fencing be done and We will take
the trouble to open and close the gates
where roads make entrance and exit to |
and from these pastures.
