sustained by the cattle men Of Texas
during the past winter, they being va
riously placed from one to ten per

five per cent. The winter was the
most severe ever known in Texas. and
the drifting of cattle very bad. Ii is
estimated fully 10000 cattle drifted

much OF their supplies of stock on the
market this season. which will no

question but that Texas rangers are
ever stocked aud ranchmen will be
obliged to get rid of large numbers
of cows, 2-year-olds and even year

will have mainly to 90 on the market.
Wyoming and the northwest will re-
sumo cattle shipments which come
there by trail hut not otherwise, and
the dosing OF the trail will close the
outlet for Texas cattle. l. st year this
time over million dollars worth
of contracts were held by Texas
ranchmen. but this year there is not

for free grazing in Texas is about
over In the near future stock raisers
will have to pasture their herds on
their own lands and cultivate ground
enough for fodder to carry their cat
