Breeders Gazette: To what beggarly pro-
portions the exports of live cattle hays
fallen is shown by the fact that the ship

head. The last few months haye been full
of disasters to cattle exporters and ono

and the others were sold to ranchmen here
abouts, but the Dabney Brothers retained
sufficient number for their herds on Shields
river and the Upper Yellowstone.
Chicago Tribune: There will be reaction
in the wool business. and the men who
stick to their focks will make it pay. Wool
is a staple article. and the world does not
produce more than it wants. The best time
to 90 into any business is when every one
wants to go out of it. If you have good
flock, bred up to standard that is paving.
don't dispose of it: Weed it out and re-
duce it if necessary, but keep good nucleus
from which to increase when better wool
times come, and you won't be able to buy q
decent eve for less than two or three times
what you will be compelled to take now.
Paste This in Your Hat.
