FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
Southwestern Stockman.,.

Cochise county now has a fence
law.
Maricopa county proposes to or
ganize live stock association and
meeting for that purpose has been
called to meet at Phoenix on the
2Sth of the present month.
The most reliable data obtainable
remarks an exchange, shows the
number of head of live stock in Ar
iona to be as follows: Cattle, 26S,
900; horses, 81 800; mules, $4,000;
swine, 10000; total estimated val
ue, 100000.
The Stockman would again urge
upon the several stock associations
of the territory the Importance of
speedily making their selections for
cattle inspectors to carry out the
provisions of the quarantine law,
and recommend the same to the
Governor for appointment. 1t is
quite sure that many cattle will be
brought in this season from Texas,
as there have lately been many cow
men from that state looking for
ranges in Arizona, and every pos
sible precaution should be taken to
prevent the introduction of any
that are diseased.
