of Colorado have invested in bulls nearly,
if not quite, two million dollars. Nine
tenths Of all these animals are grades.

Clark & Plum, of the Es ranch, will
sell several Thousand head Of fat cattle
this Year. About 10000 head Of Texas
cattle are on the drive for them from
their Texas ranches. From conversa-
tions with Mi. Clark, we judge that a
number Of steers will be sent into the
Bad Lands near here. for fattening.
IA hundred thousand fat steers, four
years old and upward will be the beef
crop Of Colorado the coming fall. Five
thousand cars will be required to carry
them to market. If the railroads will
but giye the flock owners double decks
and a liberal rate a thousand cars of fat
muttons will also go forward. Denver

1t is claimed by some who have had eS-
perience, that the hay made from wild
prairie grass will not give horses the
the heaves, says the National Stockmen.
A gentleman who has lived in the West
for many years says that he never saw
horses affected with this disease until af-
ter the introduction Of tame grass for
meadows. Heayes may not be easily
cured, but if farmers VIII wet the hay a
very little and shake it well, it will re-
move the dust and in most cases prevent
heayes. This is more important during
dry windy weather of spring.-[K Kansas
