A representative of the Atchison
Globe lately visited the Shannon Hill
farm of Gov. Click, and says:
Notwithstanding the governors du-
ties at the capital, he visits his farm
weekly. Shannon is seven. miles west
of Atchison, the first station oil the
Omaha road, and occupies one corner of
the Shannon Hill farm. This farm
comprises almost one thousand acres Of
as good land as can be found in Kansas,
and is stocked with thoroughbred, the
governor having over 200 Shorthorns,
and 800 head of Berkshire hogs. The
farm is ably managed by Jim Dobbs,
who has a number of assistants. Mr..
Dobbs kicked up COW and asked us
what we supposed 1T worth. Being ac-
customed to common mich cows, such
as those that infest and dissect front
yards in Atchison, worth from $50 to
$50, we guessed SEQ. "Mr. Click paid
$1,000 for that ANIMAL" said Mr.. Dobbs
land he thought he was getting her
cheap at that. She is two years old"
We were shown through a stable of;fine
young bulls, commencing in the first
stall with mere calf, worth two or
three hundred dollars, and running Up
according to size and age, to a thirty
two months old bull, the oldest on the
place, and worth $1,000. Governor
Click has only turned his attention to
the raising Of thoroughbred cattle du-
ring the past three years, and probably
to-day there is not better known stock
farm in Kansas than Shannon HILL
The farm is well stocked with fruits of
all kinds, including l,50O bearing apple
trees, 800 pear trees, 200 peach trees,
acres of raspberries, strawberries, etc.
There are eleven miles of hedge fence
upon the place. which is kept in shape
at an expense of 800 per year.

Texas has therefore, been entirely too
independent in dealing with its adjoin-
states, seeming to labor in the be lief
that the whole world was dependent on
the Lone star state for its cattle supply
and its COW ponies. Texas congressman
have opposed all legislation looking to
the suppression Of cattle diseases, and
the Texas newspapers for n long time
denied that the longhorn bovines from
there left poison and death IN their
trails. The conclusions Of the most
distinguished veterinary surgeons were
rldiculed, declared to be mere bosh, and
not worthy Of consideration.
A radical change must come over the
stockmen Of that state or they will find
that they have no eastern or northeast
ern outlet for their cattle. The begin
ming Of an important movement was
commenced at Dodge City last week,
when the stockmen passed resolution
asking the legislature to repeal the
dead-line law and thus put the entire
state on an equal footing. That same
convention informed Texas stockmen
that they were not anxious that they
should drive their cattle to Dodge CITY
TO ind purchasers, and intimated that
when Kansas stockmen want cattle of
Texas they know the way to that state.
We have no doubt this action on the
part of the Southwestern association
was brought about by the action of the
Texas congressman on the live stock in
dustry bill before congress, and the con-
tinued disregard OF our state sanitary
laws by Texas drovers.
The sentiments expressed by the cat
tlemen in convention at Dodge will Be
echoed by other associations in Kansas
and we have little doubt about what the
legislature will dove think it will 70.
