 size, and especially strength and action, are much more important in mating a team for usefulness, and to make a pleasant team to work and drive.
 Texas Stockman The greater part of the cattle have been re- moved from the Cheyenne and Ara pahoe reservation, but, according to best reports, they will not num- Der over 175,000 head, instead of 300,000 as at first stated. What be- came of the other 125,000 head?
 Texas Stockman: Horse breed ing will pay, but it is mistake to think that there is more money in raising trotters than general utility animals. There is too much risk and expense in raising trotters, while good half-breed horses of the Percheron, Clydesdal or Cleveland Bay stock will always find ready sale.
 The Washington Farmer adver- tises free range in unlimited quan- titles in Washington Territory, and invites stockmen to bring their herds to eat the fine bunch grass that now annually rots on the ground. It says come. without money and without price, and par take of the governments bounty.
 Santa Fe New Mexican: The Lea Cattle Company, Anderson, Milne & Bush's beef herds, is on it's way up from Roswell for shipment to Kansas City. There are between TOO and 800 head in the drove Joe Laxton being boss of the drive. Quite number of fine steers were left on the range, not being fat enough for shipment on account of the rains coming late.
 Globe (Kansas) Journal: "The Cleveland drive" out of the Indian Territory is about completed for the season. The drive was an un- usually large one which, with the coming year, will be largely in creased. At this tim9 it is very hard to estimate what it will be for the coming season, but it will be very large, counting the stock first driven into and then out of the promised land.'
 Pinal Record: The San Pedro Cattle Company is the name of a new corporation organized under the laws of Missouri, and doing business on the San Pedro river, in this county. The capital stock is $30O,OOO, divided into $1O0 shares. The principal men in the new com pany are Supervisor C.. NJ. Williams, z. Willard, and A. and N. Schus- ter. The company succeed to the business and take the cattle and ranches owned by A. Schuster & Go.
 Southwestern Stockman That there is such a thing as grading up range stock too high is becoming recognized as a fact by experienced ranchmen. An essential of a range animal is good rustling qualities, and these are found in the greatest perfection in the scrub. Enough fine blood to give a tolerable size only is found to meet the require ments of the west, and to return a better profit to the grower than the more aristocratic but lazier pure bloods.
 Hoof and Horn: Messrs. Shull & Austin, the we'll known livery men of Prescott, have shipped to Kansas City during the last week three carloads of horses raised in Arizona-one carload being from the ranch of Shull & Austin, an- other from the Gosper Horse and Cattle Company, and the third from the Hull ranch in the San Francis co mountains, which last named ranch has placed the shipment of some 500 head under the direction of Messrs, Shull & Austin. This is the first shipment of Arizona horses ever made east, and 1t is to be hoped | that the enterprising gentlemen having it in charge will realize all 4lo,, o04;oiNota
