Points and Items About Kansas Stock.

Points and Items About Kansas Stock
Neosho county claims to have som,
very fine stock.
| Peabody Graphic: The large nurnbe1
of stock cattle being fed in this vicinity
will make corn start off at pretty fail
price. This will help out little for the
low price of wheat.
Hiawatha World: The widow Graham
living about five miles from Everest, Lost
five head of cattle from lightning one
morning lately. An examination shows
them ali to have been killed by the same
stroke
Leavenworth Standard: It is reported
here that Crawford Moore lost ten OF
twelve Of his finest cattle at his farm
near Paramount recently by miriDg in a
swampy pasture. This is heavy loss to
Mr.. Moore, and we hope the report may
prove to be unfounded.
Coffeyville Journal: A meeting of the
stockmen of Montgomery county was
called on the 18th, in Wells Hall, to per.
feet an organization for livestock pur-
poses. The association was formed by
the election of president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer.
Lawrence Journal, Mr.. Thos Melody
states that the scavengeIs hauled away
the bodies Of eight dead cows, said to
have died of Texas fever, last week from
his neighborhood, and that the same
was not made known to the authorities.
The fever is said to have come from Salt
Creek valley stock.
Medicine Lodge Cresset The best sale
of cattle on record so far, is the sale of
the VIM. Kelley cattle. There were
about 60 head of beef steers and they
sold for $50 per head. Billy has very
choice lot of cattle, but no better than
many other punches which can be gath
cred in Barber county.
Medicine Lodge Cresset: Bailey & But
man have sold 10 head of their three
and four-year-old steers to a sedgwick
county buyer for $46 per head. 1t will
be noticed that the fellows who sold
early are looking down their noses this
year. The men who held on are raking
in the wealth this season.
Howard Courant: T.. G. Bradley has
Just received fine thoroughbred stall
lion direct from Scotland, that is said to
be one of the finest blooded horses ever
brought to this country. He believes in
fine horses, and our farmers will anpre,
ciate his efforts to build up the standard
of draft horses of this section.
Beloit Democrat: Mr.. Chas. Brown has
on his farm fifteen thoroughbred COWS,
ten calves, five yearlings and one Short
horn bull, pure Rose of Sharon breed,
and three thoroughbred bulls out with
his herd on the range. His other cattle
are all highly graded. These thorough.
bred cattle are from the famous Ianthos,
Miss Willy, Louan and Mary breed,
the purest and best bred cattle in this
county.
Howard Courunt: at the colt show
held in Howard few days ago, the
judges awarded the premiums first and
second to the colts Of full-blooded Texas
pony mares. The object of the show
was not to award premiums to the finest
colts, but to the best colts taking the
dam into consideration, First premium
was awarded to colt belonging to VIM.
Greenwood, and the second to colt be-
longing to F. A. Vanarsdall.
Atchison Globe: When there were no
surgeons, diseases among
stock were very few, and every farmer
knew how to treat them. Now that the
animal doctors are as thick as black
berries, and Congress and the Kansas
Legislature make annual appropriations
to sustain a Bureau of Animal Physi-
clans, new diseases are constantly break
ing out in every portion of the country,
and people are kept in a long continual
scare about diseased meat.
Washington Register: We understand
that there are quite number OF cattle
dying in this vicinity of some disease
that is puzzling stockmen. J. 0. Young
has lost another valuable Jersey within
a day or two, it dying in manner sim
liar to the one that died on the fair
ground, which was thought to have been
snake bitten. We trust that it is not
and think in fact, that it is
not, but that the trouble is caused by
letting the calves run in the cornfelds
and feeding green corn to the older cat
tie.
Washington Register: The other day,
Noah Webster, who lives on section 50,
northwest part Sherman township, re-
ceived from Ed. Cooper, Ames, Iowa, a
male pig of the Chester White breed,
that is one of the finest pigs for its age
that we have seen for long time. He
Is not yet three months old and will
weigh fully seventy-five pounds, has an
long body for pig of his age;
IS broad shouldered and deep chested
and will make one of the largest hogs in
his county.
