Midnight is one of the fastest animals

Jetmore Re;viUe; Some of the cattle
ofthe Comarche pool have been shipped
to Montana this week. There were about
&C. 600 herd of cattle in this pool, but
about one-half of this number will be re-
moved to other parts and the remaining
half will be confined to tie leased lands
of the pool in the Indian territory. The
incoming granger is what's the matter.
GAYLORD Herald: Last Monday a
large Poland China SOW, owned by u. S.
Roberts & Son, proprietors of the Gay
lord mills, gave birth to eleven pigs.
eight of which were provided with four
fully developed ears each, but no eyes or
any form or mark of ewes whatever, two
with the usual number of ears. but with
no eyes, and one with three ears and one
eye on the lower jaw. Ten of the pigs
died within few hours, and the eleventh,
which was alive at last report, possessed
but little vitality and would probably
die.
Burlingame Chronicle: The question
has been asked us, will the prices of
hogs 90 lower than at presentW We
know but little about the hog business
Our notion, however, is that hogs are al
ready lower than they ought to be. One
reason for the decline seems to be "over
production" Chicago and some other
important pork centers have had phe-
nomenal increase in receipts for some
time. To be sure there is no positive
assurance that this condition of things
will Lot maintain throughout the season
as there still remains large amount of
corn in the country. 1t is worthy of
note, however, that some of the Chicago
dealers are rating pork and lard little
higher for July than June. This would
seem to indicate better prices for pork
at a very early date.
Larned Optic: Mr.. John Scott, who
lives seven miles northwest of this city,
has within the last few days lost two val
liable COWS from some disease resembling
in many of its features pleuro pneumo-
MIA, but which is probably an aggravated
form of blackleg. The first to die was
perfectly we'll in the morning, and when
MIXED showed no signs of disease, but
died before night. The next was we'll in
the morning and died before noon. The
death of the first animal attracted no
particular attention, but the second dy-
my so suddenly and so SOON after the
frst-the first dying on Tuesday and the
second on Thursday-causedM Mr.. Scott to
institute an investigation, which result
ed in the discovery that the gall was con-
enlarged, and the lungs and
heart badly affected, both these latter
organs being blood shot and showing
large black spots similar in character
and general appearance to those repre-.
sented upon the heart and lungs of ami
mails that bave died with pleuro pneu-
monia.
Marion Record: Mr.. Beaverton, re-
turned from Kentucky last week where
he had purchased bull which has few
if any equals, in the state. He is mas
sive fellow, weighing twenty three or
twenty-four hundred pounds, and has
weighed twenty seven hundred. This
mal.-Cordelia's duke
has pedigree which is straight"
throughout. His dam-Cordelia second
traces her "genealogy" back to the
great imported Rose of Sharon, and his !
sire-fourth duke of Geneva, of the Bates
Duchess tribe-belongs, as all stockmen
know, to the first families" The &C.
count of prices this family of stock has
brought is marvellous. Mr.. Renick the
former owner Of the animal purchased |
by Mr.. Beaverton, paid sc, 900 and has
refused $4,000 for the fourth duke of
Geneva-the sire of this new Marion
county acquisition. One of his off
springs-the second duke of Oneida
,old for SIP 900, and another-theseventh |
luke of Oneida-sold for $40, 900; and a |
number of his calves have been sent to |
England.
