The desirableness OF thorough ma

men of the United States Ia becoming
more generally recognized every day,
and Is growing all the time upon the
people most deeply interested. This IL

fore, but believe Its importance justifies
it's frequent and almost constant mem
ton. 1t Is unnecessary to argue that
the vast live stock interests Of this vast
country can be greatly aided by such
an organization. The introduction of
improved breeds, transportation facili-
ties, transportation rates, market regu-
lations, sanitary considerations, import
needs, quarantine restrictions, the ex-
port trade, etc. are subjects which re-
quire the deliberative wisdom of the
breeders, importers, feeders fiockmas-
tiers, herdsmen and farmers of the en-
tire country. The concentrated intel
ligence of the whole live stock industry
needs To be inSde effective by organic
action. The power and influence OF
American stockmen are ample for
their own protection II through
organization, these can be given
force and direction. The prncti.
cal need of organization has just
been powerfully illustrated In the In
ception Of the animal industry bill
and Its fate. As originally presented

A Mammoth Stock Company.

II. q. Head, superintendent and
manager OF the Prairie Cattle Com
pany, limited, was in Dodge last Sat
urday. This company Is composed of
Scottish capitalist, the home office of
which is in Edinburg. On the 30th of
next November the fourth year of its
existence will have been completed. 1t
runs three ranches.-one In oldham
and Potter counties, in the Texas Pan
handle, containing 20, 900 head of cat
tie; one in ColfaX, Mora and San
Miguel counties, New Mexico, contain
ing $4,000. and the other twenty-five
miles south of Las Animas, Colorado,
containing 60, 900 head $50, 900 head in
all. 1T il expected that the calf crop
this year on the three ranches will be
not less than $4,000, sixty per cent. of
the number of cows. In the New
Mexico division there is a pasture con-
tanning fifty thoroughbred Hereford
bulls and 200 thoroughbred Hereford
cows, which are kept solely for breed
ing epurposes. The cattle in this
division are mostly all crossed with
Hereford blood, though there are many
Polled Angus and Shorthorn animals
in the herds. The Hereford is the
favorite of Mr.. Head. The blood is
always good, no matter how low down
the breed runs. The Polled Angus
will do from half grade upward, but
below half grade the stock is not de-
sirable, and IL Is difficult matter to
keep the blood up TO satisfactory
standard. The cattle in the Colorado
division consist of Shorthorns and
Herefords combined. In the PanLan.
die division the ones and twos are
half-bred Herefords. Nine thousand
cows are native Texans. a few days
ago some of the directors of the com
pany from Scotland were Inspecting
the stock on the several ranches. The,
were thoroughly pleased with their o5
servations and remarked that no finei
lot of cattle could be seen in Scotland
This company expects to turn of s ,00t
to 10000 head of beeves this fall. Mr.
Head, the general manager, has beer
filling that position since year ag,
last May. He is native of Texas
and has an experience of sixteen year.
