SCIENCE FURNISHES THIEvERy.- A
wealthy German banker, who is in the
habit Of carrying two chronoineter
watches, has been a frequent victim Of
pickpockets. He tried various precau-
tions without avail, but finally adopted a
no osl method to stop the annoyance. He
removed the extra guards from his
watches, and gave the unknown thief
ample opportunity. AT night, in return
ing from business, lie took up an evening
paper, when he read with delight, ITO
day, about . T. NJ. violent explosion took
place in house on B. street, occupied
by Mr.. s.. wealthy townsman. The
hands of the victim are shattered and the
left eye gone" The crafty banker had
filed the watch case with dynamite,
which exploded during the operation of
winding. Since that time no more
watches have been stolen from the person
Of Herr. Hager.

Col. s. ?. Cunningham, of Fort Worth, Texas, has furnished the Journal of that place with the fol- lowing statistics, which our readers will find well worthy of perusal:
 Aware that q widespread feeling exists that there is d steady, in crease in the number of range eat tie, l present below facts gathered on the range in the past season. In order that a clear conception may be had of the situation, l will pre- sent the number of cattle in each of the subjoined list of States and Territories December 1, 1885, and then show the number December 1, 1886 Statistics from officials have been secured where possible, and computations from the best ill., formed beef raisers in all other es- inmates:

Total loss in
..... h, ,Sl2, sI1is 4,O3I, 3l

Deducting this from above esti- mate, there would remain on the ranges 11,7S1 ,445 cattle, less the bceves, CT one-eighth of above, which is 1 ,472,6S0 head, leaving 10,- 31S,765 as a total, against 14,S57.- IFS head in above territory one year ago, loss of 4, 4,53S,413 head, or more than thirty per cent. Again, of the ten and a quarter millions remaining, the she or breading cat tie can safely be estimated at forty per cent, or 4,100,O0O head. The use of the spaying needle, and send ing to the shambIes of a large num- ber of young heifers and breeding COWS, has reduced the output of producers at least a million head. So, in December, 1886, there will go into winter nearly six million less cattle than in December, 1885. The above estimates may, by some, be thought too large, but I have have made them after a careful col lection of reports from men of prominence. as breeders in aII the above named ranges, and I have given an under, rather than over, estimate of facts. The thoughtful and candid range men will bear me out in this. When attention is called to the condition of ranges ill the Northwest, in Kansas, Neu- traI Strip, Indian Territory, west and northwest Texas, also to the condition of most range cattle at the beginning of last winter, the large movement of thin cattle to New Mexico and Arizona at the be- ginning of winter, the severity of December, 1885, and January, Feb ruary and March, 1886, the large area of range country wherein dFouth prevailed for five months

PERCENTAGE or Cows AND CALVES.

In Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, the basis of calculation is twenty per cent of calves to num- Der of COWS. In Western Kansas, Indian Territory and Neutral Strip, thirty-tiye per cent, and in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, forty per cent. It is generally conceded to be the lightest calf crop known to the ranch interest.
 The calves added would swell the grand total to 1j,S12,S11. Now de- ductir5 csti!nated losses after care ful survey of the entire field, and remembering the unusual drouth forcing many immature steers and breeding COWS to slaughter houses, the following will approximate in tabulated form the losses:

The Globe Silver Belt says that the law requiring stOckmen run- ming cattle on the open range to provide one bull for each twenty five she cattle, Is a dead letter in the range country around Globe. We fear there are other sections of Arizona where the law is disre- garded. The law is a good one, and should be enforced. It is ut terIy incomprehensibIe why any rangeman should disobey it, for 1t is in the interest of every stockman whose cattle run on the open range. The man who does not provide a sufficient quota of bulls for his she cattle is himself the greatest loser ; but at the same time he is doing an injury to his neighbor, who does comply with the law, by stealing the service of his bulls. Every cattleman known to be derelict in this particular should be prose cuted.

The Wilcox Stockman says one of the largest ranch and cattle transactions that has taken place in Southern Arizona this year is the sale of the kcIoi Cattle Com pany's stock and range on the Up- per San Pedro river to a Chicago firm, consisting of Mcssrs. II. and F. NJ. Witbeck and John $. Rob bins. The trade was completed on October 25th, the consideration be- ing $11O,00O. The new firm will be styled the II. Witbcck Land and Cattle Company. The company has also purchased the McManus tract of land in Sonora, which will make their range one of the largest and best in the southwest. They are men of means, and will at once stock their range to its fullest ca pacity.

They will keep their bIooded cattle, recently imported from Missouri, upon the alfalfa fields, together with q lot of stock cattle which they propose to grade up.

The Hoof and Horn says the board of army officers who are now engaged m securing the southwest for horses suitable for the United States cavalry service should be sufficient to turn the attention of the live stock growers to the money to be made by the breeding of good class of horse flesh. For such horses as are now being sought bv the board in question there has been q constant demand since the organization of both Arizona and New Mexico, and prices could be realized on them which give d larger margin for profit than those ob- talned on any other class of stock. Yet year after year the stockmcn of the southwest, and for that matter, of the entire west, have gone on raising such scrub horses that when ever an ordinary good roadster or general service horse was required the east was called on to supply the demand.
