Polled Angus and Gallovsy..

These breeds of black cattle, although
but recently introduced into this coun-
try, have come to be in great demand,
and the prices have advanced to such
figures in Scotland that it is not likely
there will be any importations for some
years to come. The Leonards, of Mount
Leonard, Saline county, Mo-, last year
brought over the largest importations
that have ever been made, and having
a greater supply than they care to hold
or can properly attend to, with their in
crease since they were imported, are of
fering about sixty head TO be disposed
of at public auction at Emporia, Kan
sas, on Wednesday, March 18th. Peo-
pie who have seen their cattle during
the past severe winter, speak of them
as being very hardy and apparently en-
Joyed the cold equally as well as the
warm weather. AT sale of these cat
tie at Lincoln, Nebraska, February 18th,
prices ranged from $500 to St75, and at
that sale contract was made bya Mr..
Hughes to purchase all the grade bulls
by thoroughbred Galloway, purchased
by Mr.. Westcott, at SIS each at wean-
ing time. The wide awake farmers are
purchasing literally, as they cannot in
vest their money to better advantage.

Capt T. b. Hunt, prominent cit, en- Of
this county, and president of the Barber
County St2ckgrowers' association, and his
son Frank, aged abont Is, met with n fright
ful accident last Saturday about noon. Ac-
companicd BY Mrs. Hunt and Miss Omey,
they were coming to town from their ranch
eight miles west of here in an ordinary
freight wagon. When crossing a narrow
bridge two miles from town, near Mr.. Har-
dy's, the team became frightened and Jump
cd of OF the bridge and upset the wagon on
Captain Hunt and Frank, breaking the for
mer's right arm near the shoulder and Sc
verely bruising his left side near the spine,
and breaking Franks left shoulder. Mrs.
Hunt and Miss Omey had quietly jumped
from the rear end Of the wagon before il
ever went on the bridge without letting the
other occupants know of their intention,
and thus were they saved from the wreck
Tie boy extricated himself without any
trouble, but the captain remained impris-
oned, nearly covered with mud ana water,
until assistance arrived and pulled him out.
He and Frank were taken TO Mr.. Hardy's
and DIR. kessler summoned at once. Later
in the dry they were removed to their home
and are now doing as we'll as could be asked.
While the accident was severe rs it was, it
is fortunate it was no worse.
One of the horses was considerably Grip
plei, but the other escaped without injury.
The place where this accident occurred
has always been considered dangerous
one, and the only wonder is that an acct
dent did not happen there sooner. The
bridge is p feet across, only IL wide, at the
foot of steep hill, and yet it has no rail-
ing on il.
We are glad that the road supervisor of
this district, MIR. Kinkaid, and Judge Lacy.
the trustee. have visited the scene aud de-
cided to make the needed repairs on tile
bridge.

We are In receipt OF long aud interest
ing letter from w. ii. McColl, formerly
a stock man Of this county, but now res
idsnt of Florida where he went in search
OF health. From tine letter, which was dat
Ell at Melbourne, we make the following
extracts Of interest to cur readers:
Il left Medicine Lodge September 4th.
and after visiting old friends in Iowa Il
short time, L arrived at Jacksonville, Flori-
ia, October II; took a steamer for Sanford.
Orange county; then by rail to Orlando,
where L remained a month and looked
around, bnt did not like tire country, the
soil being too poor, though the price of land
was high and selling rapidly. then
went to Brevarde county, on the Indian
river aud purchased piece of good. rich
land. just below tie SEBASTIAN river, and an
in camp now with my family. Am clearing
aud preparing to plant orange trees and
other tropical plants, garden vegetables, etc.
which, though late for northern market,
can be used at home. We planted some o.
the LIST Of January and they are up and look
we'll.
LAND sells here at from Sl.25 to $1,000
per acre, according to quality and improve
ment; though you can buy fair, rich land
for from $40 70 800 per acre, and or 10
acres is as much as one man can tend, and
and do it right. There is some govern
nent land, but 1t is hard to find. Eastern
parties are investing Ia land OF all kinds.
Il am satisfied this will make good place
and that it is yet in its infancy. There is
great demand for almost everything that
cIn be TILED. One acre of orange trees,
bearing. are worth $1,000, and a tree viii
bear at seven years old. You buy it Mt
three years old for twenty five cents, set it
ont, let it grow one year and then bud it,
and in three years more it is bearing tree.
On rich land 100 may be planted to the
acre. The banana and pineapple will bear
in about one-anda-half years and yield
profit.
"They tell me the mosquitoes and sumo
flies are very bad here in summer. l be-
lieve it, as they are thick even now. We
went to n Christmas tree and it seemed To
me more like a Fourth of July celebration
In the north, for the weather was warm and
the musquitoes were at work.
II will say to those who are troubled
with throat or lung diseases that believe
this is the best place in the known world
fer them. Persons in the last stages have
come here to die, us they thought, and have
lived twenty-ti five years. Such it will not
cure; but will certainly benefit if they will
stay here. 1t generally cures those who
are NOT too far nnnen

Lately we have made some inquiries as

scrubs and high grades, and are agreeably
surprised to learn that I'm every instance the
rdnchman has been successful and is pre-
pairing to further test the virtues claimed
Tor the black mulcys.
Perhaps the most extensive tests being
made are by the firm of Hunter Il Evans.
who have a large. fenced range in this
county, well stocked and carefully looked
after. and the Comanclie Pool, with its fifty
thousand head of cattle.
Hunter & Evans have on their place
about fifty head of heifers, coming two
year-Old this spring, bred from high-grade
Shorthorn cows and Polled Angus and GAL
loway bulls-and many of these are in
calf from thoroughbred, imported Gal
loway bull, and will this spring drop three
quarter breed calves. Besides the heifers
mentioned above, this firm also raised about
sixty bulls, the same as the heifcrs, and
these were sold to the Conanche Pool last
year and turned loose on their range.
From the time these calves were dropped
until now. they have done we'll every day

themselves to heat and cold rs though

no trouble whatever and even now are
more active than their Shorihorn cousins.
Ii Is confidently expected that quite a

discovered following the cows on this
range even this season. and by next spring
the result OF these 30 Industrious animals

Those gentlemen in the east who are

that these breeds will stand the rungeunder
all circumstances with any horned breed,
