Cooper's sheep dip. John E. Hayes lost
about dozen from the same cause at
Atwood.
Larned OPTIC: It is said that scarcity
of water is one chief cause Of tough
beef. Animals fattened in summer on
succulent food are more tender than
those of the same age and character fat
tened in winter.
Lawrence Herald: ]. E. Deming, of
Marion township, was obliged to'kill a
valuable horse of his few days ago on
account of manifest symptoms of its hav-
ing been bitten by q rabid dog. The
horse was valued at $500.
Peabody Graphic: DR.. Ensign, of
Newton, always a capital judge of Short
horns, bought an Arabella COW weighing
], 780 pounds, at the stock sale, for $l25.
We are told the owner expects to rea-
lie $500 on her. She was beauty.

Oughbred Clydsdale mares and one colt

Caldwell Journal: Mr.. Sam Glasgow
has branded and turned into pasture
1000 head of Panhandle yearlings to
hold until they make 1900 pound beef
steers out of themselves. He sold out
his Texas ranch last fall, and will now
try B. I. T. winter for luck.
Larned Optic: Mr.. T. G. Payne, the
auctioneer, sold about thirty-five head
of mixed cattle under the hammer On
the street last Saturday at prices that
ranged from $25 to $35 per head. Last
year the same cattle would have sold
for from $35 to $50, but the above prices
are considered good for this year.
Abilene Gazette: The first shipment
Holstein cattle ever brought to this city
arrived last week. There are eighteen
head. and the property of J. H. Barton,
Of Williams county, Ohio, who has pul.
chased ranch thirteen miles south Of
the city. He will devote his attention
exclusively to the above named breed,
and has no doubt of his success in 80 do
ing.
Emporia News: T. w. Kitchen has a
wonderful red Irish setter. A few days
Emporia. The next morning he turned
up at Canton, Mcpherson county, the
dogs old home, 80 miles west of this city.
When that dog makes up his mind to
visit old associates he does not stand on
the idea of his going, but simply goes for
all there is in him.
Peabody Graphic: We have been ia
vored with an examination of the
American Shorthorn herd book just
published. It is a magnificent book.
We are exceedingly pleased to see the
hundreds of high bred cattle that are
registered from Kansas, many of them
from our own county-Marion-and
some from the region of Peabody. All
success, we say, to Peabody breeders;
they greatly honor our part of the state
abroad.
Junction City Union: Charley Murphy
tells us that in rise of the Smoky Hill q
few weeks ago fully four hundred dead
hogs foated by his place. It seems to
us that farmers living along q stream
ought to be mutually interested in sup
pressing this outrage. There is an un.
usual and general fatality among hogs all
through this region, and especially 80 on
bottom farms, and who knows but that
this praitice is responsible for the whole
of it. Murphy burned his dead hogs,
and he is getting out of patience with q
class of farmers who load the streams
with carcasses spreading disease along
their whole length. If an example was
made of q few it might call the attention
of all the Nervousness of this offense.
John Carson, Winchester, is building
up quite breeding establishment in
Jefferson county. The Valley Falls New
Era saye. "a visit to his stables con.
WINGED US that he owns one of the best
herds of Clydesdale and Norman horses
in Kansas. Many of them were import
ed direct from Europe by Mr.. Carson
himself, who made trip across the
ocean only short time ago for that pur-
pose. He loves good stock, and will
keep no other if he can help it. His
stations have been q source of vast
income to him the present season, and
the colts from his horses always give the |
best of satisfaction and command admi-
ration and high prices wherever put on
the market, and are q source of consid. |
cradle income from the premiums they
command at fairs and general exhibj- |
tons of such stock.
