It is reported that the Snyder herd Of
$4,000 southern Texas cattle have crossed
into Colorado and will come up the
South Platte.--[N. W.Liye Stock Jour
nal. MA y:
The Franklyn Land & Cattle company,
Of Greer county, havo started 2200O ones
and twos to Montana. which they will
Issll there at about $18. to $22. Mean
time they have several herds from south
ern Texas, bought at S8. to $11, on their
way to take the place OF those driven to.
Montana; and yet they are afraid of
southern Texas cattle. The immensity
Of the quarantine fraud is only equaleil
by the "gall" that backs it up.-[Texas

It is rapidly becoming IN established
fact that tho valley Of the Little Missouri
river will in the near future be noted for
its fine horses. The grasses are richer
and more nonrishing than even tile
famous blue grass of Kentucky. The
soil is hard and dry and nowhere can
horses be found with better feet. Pure
spring water is abundant, and the rarity
of the atmosphere is just sufficient to
insure good wind. The two minute
horse will come from the northwest. 81
EDITORS BAD LANDS Cow BoY:-As the
quarantine subject has become a ques-
tion Of grave Importance I would, like to
express my views through the columns
OF your valuable paper. I have tried to
keep myself posted, and from the differ
| ent stock Journals obtain my informa-
tion. 1t appears that pleuro-p pneumonia
is dying out and now the veterinarians
are more seriously affected than the cat
tlehaYe been. Stock Journals disclaim the
existence Of pleuro-pneumollia and vet
erinarians insist on strict quarantine, If
not for one reason, for another, rs will
be seen in the case Of \ 7. Corwin Ander-
son a breede Of blooded stock In KEN
tucky. After his public sale of bulls he
was approached by the state veterinarian
for the state of Illinois who tried to i'm
press upon Mr.. Anderson's mind that 1t
was absolutely nj necessary for him to
secure his CDR. Paaren's) certificate Of
health before shipping his bulls to the
nrcliasers, and intimated that his SER
vices were worth SIS 90 per head Of cattle
but subsequently reduced the
price to $40, 90 for the lot, stating that
| il they were all together the inspection
would not take long. II i have been
rightly informed 1t is undo doubtedly his
duty tosinspect those cattle and is paid
for his services by the state at the rate
of sS. 90 per diem. It is simply a scheme
gotten up to employ few men who are
willing to resort to such means to extort
money from the cattleman. According
to the statement made by the National
Live Stock Journal, AR. Anderson had
paid all expenses IN his own state, Of
strict olnpllance with all that the laws
81 any other state requires, and it should
not be required Of lin to pay extra.
Whnt is needed on the ranges Of the
west Is more bulls, and IL cattlemen cor,
not get their bulls from the east without
hayin5 them held and inspec cted at On
additional expense Of about $500 peI
head for every health certificate issued
|by the different eterinarians Of states
Through which they; llaye to pass, they
Twill have To- resort tosolne other source
tor their bloodcd stock. Icow-P Puncbers
