Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1884-03-20

came In Saturday from the Company
range on Wagon creek, and reports the
cattle some what drawn by the cOnt1n-
ued cold weather, but no losses by death
have occurred on this range TO speak OF.
Not over a dozen cattle have died all
winter.
Oberlin Herald Stock in Thomas coun-
ty has suffered considerably. Mr.. Mar
tin Kroetch lost thirty head, Messrs-
Barber several, snd Mr.. w. Miller seven,
and we learn that many sheep on the
Middle Sappa also succumbed to the rig
ors of the weather. Mrs. Rider lost a
score, most of which were weak before
the storm.
independence Tribune Wade Hamp-
ton came in last week from the grazing
region west of the Arkansas River. The
sleet covered everything and the losses
of cattle will be heavy. Few will escape
with less than loss of five per cent,
and many who drove cattle in late and
which were thin in flesh, will lose fifty
per cent.
Kansas Farmer: c. P. Fullington, a
large ranchman in COmanche county,
Kansas, informed us that the losses of
cattle in the southwestern tier of counties
has been much lighter than usual and
the cattle are in good condition. The
recent sleet did no damage south of the
Santa Fe road, although in Western Kan
sas, north of that road, heavy losses are
reported.
Ellis Headlight: J. B. Hutchinson re-
ceived two cars of corn last week which
he is feeding to his sheep. Mr.. H.'sranch
is on the Saline, twelve miles north of this
place. Mr.. II. reports his sheep as doing
well. and losses small for the Winter.
Ellis Headlight: John Kerns shipped
last week two car loads of very fine young
COWS and heifers. He bought them in
the eastern part of the State. Let the
good work go on. Shipments of such
property is better than farm machinery
for Western Kansas.

Moore, Sam Srack and Joe BrOsinf

PoIled Angus calves, for the snug little
sum of 81, 100; and yet some folks thinl
fine stock don't pay. The calves were

were as pretty as pictures.

J Cooboy: Geo. Bowman, Superintend
ent of the Smoky Hill Cattle Pool, wa
in Sidney the latter part Of last week
He says that only about 100 head of cattl
r have died on their range this Winter
: AS there are betWsen eight and min

! they are in good condition.
