\ expensive necessity to the stock-grower
since the thoroughbred animals cost hin
all the way from $500 to $500 each, ani
the high-grades about sIz5, and the Low
grades, those with but quarter OF al

growers will ship about 100000 head ol
beeves the present year, and they will have
imported in the cycle of the same 5000 Of
