Sedan Times: We learn from the In.
dependence Konsa,s that the hogs in the
Vsrdigris valley are dying with cholera,
the disease having been imported by
some hogs brought from Southern Mis-.
souri,. We have noticed in several OF our
State exchanges the same complaint Of
hogs brought from Missouri being afdict-
ed with the disease and impartng it to
others.
Kansas City Lips Stock Indicasr ia
cob Simod, an employe of the Fares l.
Lewis ranch, who have about 1000 head
Of cattle, has been spending a lew days
in the city. This ranch is about forty
miles south Of Dodge City. Jake says
the grangers have been focking into
that section fearfully of late, and have
fairly swamped the Doc Day range. The
rains of this year have encouraged the
grangers to make settlements in this SEQ
ton. If there won't be some tall cussing
about Kansas by the people next year,
then the experience Of Jake in Kansas
for twenty-eight years is Of no account
This is stock country and nothing else.
Man can't thwart the plans Ct God.
Clark City is thriving. A new town has
been started about two miles from there
called Ashland.
Information from the Texas border in.
dicates careles,ness or misunderstanding
on the part of Cattle Inspectors, several
Texas herds having been admitted to
the Territory of New Mexico, which, al
though free from fever, have left a pois.
oned trail that has developed fever in
the native herds. Lynch Bros. say, in e.
letter to Gov. Sheldon: "Our loss up to
the present is over 200 head of grown
cattle. and they are still dying, though
not so fast as when the disease started.
We tried doctoring them with glauber
salts, but it is uphill work, as the cattle
have to be roped and thrown. Benz. E
Davis, President Of the Dona Ana County
Cattle Association, and also an Inspector,
writes that the importation Of Texas
cattle into the Territory should be
stopped entirely until alter heavy frosts.
Governor Sheldon places strict cou-
s:ruction on the law, and has instructed
the Inspectors to deny the admission of
herds where any suspicion exists that
the disease may be communicated 10 ma
tive stock.
Thos. Sturgis, Secretary Of the Nation.
al Convention Of Cattle Breeders, issues
a call as follows: "As the Secretary of
that organization, and acting under the
authority thus vested in me, I hereby
give public notice that the Second An
nual Convention will be held in the city
of Chicago on the 18th and 14th days Of
November, 1884. The convention will
have before it among other subjects two
of great importance. First, that which
was stated in the resolution. viz: The
forming of National association Of cat
tie breeders under permanent organi.
cation. Second, to receive the report of
the committee on legislation, of which
Hon. J. B. Grinnell of Iowa, is Secretary
In addition to the delegates present in
1883, and in the spirit in which the call
Of one year ago was issued by the Com.
missioner Of Agriculture, Hon. George B.
Loring, the representatives Of all classes
interested in any of the cattle industries
of the United States are cordially invited
to be present and are assured Of wei.
come. By correspondence with DR.. Fish.
er, Secretary Ct the Illinois State Board
of Agriculture, am authorized to state
that the convention called by him under
date of Septemb Der IS, to meet in Chica-
go November Is and IA, will join with
the convention held under the present
call instead of holding separate meet
ing. Attention is called to the very i'm.
portant convention of cattle breeders TO
be held in st. Louis on November H.
Earnest efforts have been made to OBJ
tain change Of the last named date to
one which should follow the closing of
the Chicago Fat Stock show, and could
such change have been accomplished
st. Louis would have been designated as
the place Of meeting. This unfortunate
ly could not be done. owing to engage
ments previously entered into by repre-
sentatives of St. Louis, and as attendance
there on the 18th will be impossible to
many of our delegates, an earlier meet
ing at Chicago became imperative On &C.
count of the unfinished business of last
year. It is believed that the cattle
breeders who will meet at st. Louis, are
animated by the same motives and OBJ
jects as this association, and it is hoped
that hereafter but one convention will
be held annually, in which the interests
and influence of all will be considered
To this end it is urged that all stockmen
who may attend the convention hereby
called in Chicago will come prepared to
20 to St. Louis afterward and partici- |
pate fully and actively in the deLbera-
lions there.
