THAT CATTLE ASSESSMENT.

Our Austin special of this morning
STATES that the assessed valuation o.
cattle this year is 331a per cent. less
than that of last year, beng put at rs
per head, against $l2 last year. II
further states that If these figures arc
kent up the taxable value Of cattle will
be decreased over Sl2,000,0O0. But
stock men in Texas now say that heir
cattle are worth rs per cent more tn an
they we're before the trail embargo was
removed; and they furthermore state
that cattle last spring, as compared
with the price three or four weeks pre-
vious, had advanced fully 30 per cent.
The price of these cattle at the time of
tho decline had dropped to mini
mum of $14 for S-year. olds, and ct the
time of tho roundup of this geason
they had reached $40 and $40 per head.
To-day, 3-year. olds, Northwest Texas
range, are nearly q per cent. above
even this last figure. The lssse.hoid-
ing cattlemen, ordered off the Chey-
enne and Arepahoe reservations, claim
thaj they have 100000 mead OF and
2.year.olds which they value at $40
per head. They further state that
Missouri was interested to the extent
of IS, 900, 900, st. Louis alone owning S5,-
900, 900 OF valued cattle, or about $H per
head. Now, Gin The name Of all the
gods at once, upon what meat" or drink
do those assessors feast who send in
such reports to the comptroller at
Austin? MR.. SWAIN owes it to him
self and to the State to Immediately in
stitute an investigation of the matter.
With such things staring us in the
face it is no wonder that the feeling
against "catt barons" is intensifying
throughout all Texas. 1t is no won

made IA large quantity of cocoons.
OF superior quality, and it is now a
Well established fact cur parish is
peculiaily adapted to the raising
OF silk worms. They thrive here,
and the cocooIs are as fine MS can
be found anywhere. The all-im-
portant question, however, is will
it pay?" In this respect, the ex-
perience of our citizens is that it
is an Improbable business. One
gentleman. who recently sent forty
pounds OF rich yellow cocoons to
the city, informs US they brought
only sixty-6ve cents per pound,
aud he says that he can not afford
to make them at that price. And
this appears to be the universal
opinion. Our parish is we'll adapt
ed to the silk industry. and many
would embark in it, were it not for
the fact that cit don't pay-there's
no money in it.
