From the Live Stock Record Of July p.
We have frequent inquiry in regard to
the best method of investing capital in the
cattle growing business. We have looked
into this matter carefully, and have
watched the progress of stock growing on
these plains for twenty years, and from
this experience and observation, will say,
if the amount to be invested is large
enough, we would recommend the pur-
chase of a herd and range already estab-
lished. If the sum to be invested is
small we would advise combining with
other capital, buy an interest in a herd
already established, or buy of the capital
stock of some good and responsible COM
pany who own a herd and are well estab-
lished on the range. We know of several
companies with any of which we would
feel safe in investing.

PROD PRESENTATION.
Three Popular Railroad Men Remrm-
bered by Their Friends.

Last evening at a little before 9 o'clock
there began to be a very mysterious gath
ering of stockmen at the Inter Ocean
hotel. The reason of this gathering soon
became apparent, for at the earnest sug-
g%estions of Colonel Benjamin, Thomas
Branson and Others, most Of those present
collected in the reading room Of the hotel.
In a little while Mr.. Branson entered, car
rying three elegant silver mounted cattle
prods, which We're to hc presented TO Col
onel i. l.. Hooker, representing the Chi
cage, Rock Island a Pacific railroad.
John Keene, Of the Milwaukee 4 ST.
Paul, and Jacob Hardin, of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy road, respectively,
by their friends the stockmen.
Mr.. \. S. Mercer made the presenta,
ton speech He said the gifts were pre-
sented to the three gentlemen by their
friends the ~cowboys-the old, gray haired
cowboys, who have stood shoulder to
shoulder and ridden side by side with the
young and active COWBOYS on many a
round up and on many a drive across these
Western plains.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Mercer's re
marks, Colonel Hooker rose to respond,
but the old gentleman who is so highly
respected by all who know him, did not
undertake to say much. He remarked
that it was unexpected and he didn't
know what to say. 1t was a fact which
he would not deny that the stockmen here
in Wyoming were his friends, and yet this
little token of their esteem affected him.
The Colonel said he thought he knew how
to use the prod, and if the boys present
didn't belieye it he would commence right
then and there in the crowd, which created
a tumult of laughter and applause.
Messrs. Keene and Hardin also respond
ed in brief but very appropriate remarks.
The prods were silver tipped and each
also had a silver band around the center,
on which were inscribed the name of the
person to whom it was presented with the
words Presented by his Friends"
Altogether it was a very pleasant Ncca-
sion.

Horat;o Holt yesterday received a letter
from his brother, George L. Holt, at
Buffalo, in johnson County, stating that
the cattle in that vicinity never looked as
well before as they do this season. Grass
is abundant, and almost all the ranchmen
in the country, or at least in the vicinity
Of Buffalo, are engaged in cutting their
hay, which will be of very fine quality and
an abundance of it. In the agricultural
line everything is being raised around
Buffalo that can be raised anywhere, in
GLIDING oats and wheat. Business is brisk
in Buffalo, and is liable to continue so for
the balance of the season.

A gentleman just returned from Dodge
City, Ks, says that while there he lis

petitions. His peroration was about as
follows: And now, gentlemen and fellow
citizens, why do the Government send out
those expeditions at such a cost of money,
life and suffering, when if they wait n few
years the cattlemen of this country will
have reached the North Pole in their rec
ord for new ranges, and nil without ex-
pense to the taxpayer" The sentiment
was received with much enthusiasm.
