Points and Items about Kansas Stock.
Cattle on the Gorham range, in Com.
anche county, and in the Indian Terri
tory, went through the winter in very
fair shape.
Peabody Graphic: DR.. ShOmber re.
ceived Monday by express from Topeka
fine thoroughbred calf. Everybody
here seems to have the fine Stock fever
Good enough.
The Tarbox Brothers have wintered q
thousand head of cattle on the Cimarron
and have lost only 1S'head thus far
They anticipate no more losses, provid,
ing the present mild weather continues
or nomore weather of the February style
appears.
Peabody Graphic: It is understood
that several sales will take place On the
fair grounds during the summer. One
has already been contracted fora sale
of thoroughbred cattle in June. The
fair association will lose no money by
their improvement and enterprise.
It is the general report from stockmen
on the Cimarron that their cattle are I'M
usually healthy for this season of the
year. Ordinarily they are affected either
with lice or mango, or both, but now
they have neither. While they are thin
in flesh they are in good spirits and are
rustling with vigo-.
Manhattan Republic: Bill & Burnham
made stock sale Monday that is worthy
of mention-2l5 grade Short-horn bulls
and five thoroughbreds Ridenour &
Baker, Of Kansas City. were the pur-
chasers. One-third of the bunch will be
delivered on the 18th inst. The cattle
are good ones and brought good prices.
The snow fell eight inches deep in
western Kansas early in January. Under
meath this the ground was covered by a
thick coating OF ice. This made it i'm
possible for the cattle ard sheep to get
down to the grass, and 30 thousands and
tens Ofthousands persisted of hunger and
cold.
Manhattan Republic: j. R. Young this
week sold to l. l.. Inskeep, of Fairview
Stock Farm, the three choice young
sows, "Grandeur's Model" "Faultless'
and LADY Blackfoot," out Of his famous
Ohio SOW, Grandeur" for which long
price was paid. Mr.. 1nskeep will also
invest in some choice Short. horns this
season.
Peabody Graphic: The local sales
throughout the county are well attended
and prices for all kinds of live stock rule
high. Especially is this go with cattle
and horses. A moderately good COW
brings $50 readily. We see men paying
from $l4 to $40 for very runty, scrubby
sows, when good recorded thoroughbreds,
worth ten to one, can be bought for $50
to $40.
Cowboy: c. NJ. Beeson visited the G.
0. d. ranch last week and spent the
greater portion of day in riding over
the range. He is quite encouraged at
the condition of his cattle and the man
ner in which they whiled away the
dreary days of the past Winter. The
losses among range cattle have not been
greater than those of last Winter and
unless the weather is unusually severe
during the Spring months there will be
no more losses worthy of note.
Peabody Graphic: J. D. Cation has 1926
cattle in corral, recently purchased at
Kansas City and 12O of them are jet
black. They may be Angus, but they
are certainly not "polled" as one can
clearly see at glance. 1t is quite
novel sight. Harry Thomas, las a
Holstien bull one year old which weighs
| ,l20 pounds. He also has one nine
months old which weighs 905 pounds
Harry thinks they will be hard 10 be
beat in this state and we guess he is
about right
