the same stream. strapped to tnt
 saddle was $490 in gold, which tht
 rider thinks accounts for the fail

 claim that 1t was because he was
 double sinched, as 1t is said that .
 horse girthed in this manner can
 not swim.
 Texas Stockman The men who
 originated the quarantine, beat
 Texas out of three dollars head
 upon every yearling she had fol
 sale, and the proportion runs
 about the same for all classes ol
 cattle. This means that free grass
 and its twin fraud, the Bureau ot
 Animal Industry, beat Texas cat
 tie owners out of, at the very least,
 a million and half dollars. And
 who derives the benefit? The few
 speculators who got up the scheme the "business scheme" as one of
 them called it.
 Prescott Journal: Mcssrs. P. J Mccormick, J. W. Sullivan,
 Stephen Ross and Wm. Garland expect to ship this week or next
 twenty-six car loads of cattle to
 Burlingame, Kansas, where they will be placed on pasture for a month or six weeks preparatory to being shipped to the Kansas City market. The distance to Kansas City is so great that considerable shrinkage is sustained in shipping direct. These gentlemen propose to overcome this in the above man. ner and the experiment will no doubt prove successful.
 Prescott Courier: The Courier is on record as being opposed to turning the grazing portions of Ar izona over to large cattle compa- nies. Our idea is that Arizona is a good poor mans country; that in order to have sufficient popula- tion to give 1t standing as a state, the valleys, mountains, etc., will have to be filled by families, not byI employees of great corporations.

 Kansas City Live Stock Record : What can be done to lessen the | number of dead and dying ami malls sent to market? There is no | more disabled stock coming this year than usual, but there is far too l much. Overlooking is one of the l prolific causes. It is sickcning to | see the large number of crippled l and bruised animals that come to 1 market every day. Many of them are condemned by the authorities, i but there must be many of them | going into consumption that are wh oily unfit for food: There are 1 all kinds of patent improved stock | cars, but most of them are imprac- ticable. Let country shippers be more careful not to overload and | not start to market animals which are not in condition to stand the trip.
 Prescott Journal "The wounded bird futters." Touch man on his tender spot and you will hear from him. Cattle thieves indicted and convicted create considerable fear and trembling in the rank of the "rustlers." All the cattle and horse thieves of this county have not yet been caught and tried. A yoodly number of respectable p thieves-owners themselves of cattle and horses-are at large. The cry of great cost to the county because of prosecution will not ;pare them. A strong sense of security in personal properly run ling at large, as the live stock of : his land must to get grass and water, demands that the line shall ,e very tightly drawn between hose in the cattle business who ct upon honor under all circum- tances, and those in the same line f business, who, if they consider safe, and there be no probable
