STOCK s0UIBs.

| Points and Items About Kansas Stock.
Cedarville wants new Touring mill
to take the place of the one that was
burned recently,
Cattle are dying in Mitchell county
! with some mysterious disease. A lack of
blood seems to be one particular feature
of the trouble.
John Holmes, Ep Holmes and John D.
Minnick, of Cottonwood Falls, have
bought 500 head of Colorado cattle from
the Hilton syndicate.
Cottonwood Falls Leader: A firm of
feeders in this county, who contemplated
putting about $4,000 in cattle and corn
this Fall, have abandoned the idea for
the present.
Ell Dorado Republican: Some of the
stock men hereabouts claim there is
more money in feeding half breeds than
native steers. Somehow we can't believe
it, but then we are open to conviction.
Ell Dorado Republican,: Messrs. Gamer
on and Robb bought 80 head of half
breeds from Messrs. Belts and Chitten-
den last week and will full feed them
during-the Winter. They are nice lot
Ell Dorado Republican: John H. Belts
has 80 head of steers which he is full
feeding in addition to the two hundred
head that he is carrying over. He brought
in the last bunch from the range last
week.
Caldwell Standard: The Wichita Cat
tie Company made a shipment of 440
beeves to market last week, and were
only sixteen hours in making the trip to
Kansas City from this point-one Of the
fastest trips. On record.
Washington Register: We understand
that the hog cholera has made its ap-
pearance in this part of the country. So
far only pigs and shoats have been at
tackled by this disease so much dreaded
by breeders of swine. Hog owners will
do we'll to watch their stock carefully,
I'd use every endeavor possible to keep
the disease from their stock yards.
Osborne Farmer: Babcock's auction
sale of thoroughbre pigs failed to attract
a very large crowd, and those who were
present seemed only moderately anxious
to buy. After nineteen head were dis
posed of the sale was stopped. Among
the purchasers were Frank Stafford,
Capt. Beeman, Dave Ward, Homer Mar
tin, F. Ingram, Perry Mcclellan, and
Messrs. Stokesberry and Hall. Some
very good animals were sold at prices
stock hogs.
Lyndon Journal: The Stockmen re-
port their cattle and hogs in fine condi-
ton. Mr.. Vanbentham, just west OF
town, is feeding 800 head of Colorado
and native steers, and graded cattle. Mr..
O. C. Williams, five miles south of Lyn-
don, is feeding 100 head of graded cat
tie. The Dominion Cattle Company are
feeding 800 head of their cattle on Mr..
Ringhisen's farm, two miles east of town.
Mr. James Hagerman is feeding 200
head Of native steers eight miles north
east of town.
Wichita Eagle: Nixon Elliott sent
large drove of cattle out to the country
day before yesterday to Winter. When
they had got to the outskirts Of West
Wichita white steer took sort of a fit
and they could not get him further
When they returned to the spot where
he was left they found him gone. A
man was seen late in the evening driv-
ing the steer into town, and now Mr..
Elliott rises to explain that he would
/ like to interview that man, but at last
accounts he had not made his acquaint-
ance. Bring back that steer.
Manhattan Industrialist On Tuesday
ten steers were tied up in the experiment
tai feeding shed, with the object of re-
peating the experiment made last season
with corn and corn-and- cob meal as feed
for fattening steers. Five Of the steers
will receive clear corn meal, the remain
ing five getting corn ground with the cob.
This bunch" of steers have been great
ly admired by visitors, and indeed they
are a particularly nice lot, averaging
nearly 1,05S pounds at two and half
years. At the same time ten yearling
pigs were put up in ten separate pens,
the object being to feed five of those corn
meal and five corn-and-cob meal, as with
| the steers.
