/ kin of cattle Is 60 let them pick around
I on the frostkIiled grass TIL their stOmachE
are as empty as drums, and they sre IS
/ hungry as they can get. Then turn
them into corn stalks and let them pack
/ their stOmaChs ChOek full Of dry corn
! leaves ana huslzs, which in that way are
i perfectly indigestible, and they viii die.
/ After that you can stand around and

I from nov on should not be allowed to
I stay in stalk fields more than i've min
utes at a time. Let their stomachs ill
/ gradually and only as fast as it can be

! Solomon City {DIekensOn county,
/ Sentinel: State Veterinary HoIcOmbe,
on Thursday killed and opened several
/ sick hogs on j. = WestcOtts ranch, In
/ the vicinity Of the smoky river. The
| disease affected the lungs, liver and
| stomach of the animals, and sores about
/ the size of a nickle coin covered the in
j side Of the stomach. The doctor claims
/ thatit is nearly useless giving medicine
/ to the affected ones, as If any recover,
/ they remain delicate; consequently do
not thrive by growth, and repay the
owner financially for the food they con-
sumo.
Dodge City Globe: Many of the far
meTs have more feed than they have
| stock to feed il to, and are able to buy
/ last summer and spring calves, some,
/ perhaps, only a half dozen, some, more.
/ Let Us say to you, we know Of no Eurer
I way for you to make money IN proper
| ton to the investment, than to buy
calves to raise. Ifyou have not plenty
| Of feed next fall, you will have IRON
/ year to eighteen months old fat stock to
sell, and in q new country, anything that
/ can be turned into money is q very
handy thing to have around.
FL Dorado Times. Thousands Of hogs
| have died about here Of the cholera
since March LIST. 1885. They were
| property then, they are not now. Each
/ one who has lost hogs ought 20 present
/ his petition to the county commissioners
and have the tax abated on the amount
| of his loss. There is Just as much justice
/ in abatement Of taxes on dead hogs as on
/ burnt buildings. And then, these hogs
were not insured; the buildings were.

/ troublesome on the Neutral Strip. They
/ have killed two hundred calves on Hi

distant when We will have TO depend on
| the Galloway cattle for buffalo robes.
! Their robes are equal to the buffalo, but
/ a first class robe must come of of a full
! blood, or very near 1t, and viii be high
priced, unless the GallOWays become
very popular and are more extensively
used.
LeavenWorth Standard: A farmer from
Il DOniphRn county says that the hogs are
dying there by the hundred of cholera
every day. Many who owned droves Of
several hundred a month ago now have
none, and although nearly every remedy
has been tried, nothing seems to check
the disease.
