 the benefit of having it within his
 reach at all times. The most con-
 venient way, and, perhaps, the
 cheapest, is to have piece of rock
 salt in the manager or box.
 Exchange: A speck of war in the
 east may kindle into a flame. AL
 though the meat producers would
 be in very poor way if they had
 to rely on the misfortunes of others
 to bolster their business there would
 be no weeping in the cattle trade if
 something would arise just now to
 give us a boost.
 Las Vegas Optic: The New Eng
 land beef pool of about 600 head
 of healthy steers broke out of the
 Las Vegas stock yards last night and stampeded to the seven winds. The cowboys were boiling mad about their bad luck, but quickly saddled up and gave chase to round- up again.
 Exchange: Since the 1st of Jan uary the receipts of live stock at Chicago have been much greater than for the corresponding ten months of last year, the difference amounting to about 115,0O0 cattle, 1 100000 hogs, and 145,0OO sheep. It is confidently expected that the receipts of hogs for November and December will exceed 100000.
 Hoof and Horn: The many stockmen in Arizona should at once follow the example which has been set them by every other cattle grow ing state and territory in the Union by forming a strong Territorial or ganization. The additional strength and interest which such would be the means of creating among stock men would be the result of great good, while greater unity could be secured in discussing and meeting propositions which affect the gene ral interests of stockmen through out the Territory.

 Galveston News: A large num- Der of cattlemen moved west and l others will move before spring. The | glory of the cattlemen has depart | ed from here. The fruitful earth | is awaiting the arrival of the man with the hoe. The opinion is gain ing ground that stockmen must, if | they succeed here longer, reduce the quantity and improve the quail ity of stock raised and depend on the granary rather than free grass. It is an unsolved problem whether Texas longhorns can be proftably raised in large pastures on native grass alone. Few, if any, Western Texas native grasses have been found to stand constant and repeat ed tramping.
 Cheyenne Democrat-Leader The movement inaugurated in New Mex leo, and heartily seconded by Col 0rado, for the organization of an International Range Cattle and Horse Growers Association, seems to have touched the popular chord. There has been such desperate fight made by the eastern press against the rangemen of late, that he mixing up with eastern breed ITS in national associations is a and in consequence they will almost to a man heartily en- lorse the idea of consolidating western interests in central range and trust to commit
