A writer in the Cheyenne Live Stock
journal says: Stockmen in general are
beginning to realize the fact that it would
be big saving ON their herds if they
would take all bulls off the range late in
the fall and keep them away from the
COWS until about the first of July, and
thereby regulate the period of calves
dropping. If bulls are turned out then
in good flesh and strong, it is evident that
there would be as many and perhaps more
calves to mark and brand than to leave the
bulls with the herd ali the year round.

the two republics of the United States and
Mexico, in much of its length, divides a
grazing and stock-growing country which
lies on both sides thereof and
Whereas, Horses and cattle may and do
cross said line at will, the same interpos-
ing no obstruction thereto, and
Whereas, In the absence of some treaty
provision between the two countries for
the reclamation of stock thus crossing
said boundary line the citizens of the two
countries are liable to become embroiled.
Therefore, for the purpose of averting
such complications as, in consequence
thereof, may ensue between the two cOun-
tries,
Resolved, That the president of the
United States be requested to bring the
subject to the attention of the
MeAlcdH government "luh VIC"
to negotiations between the two
countries cooking to an agreement
under which the citizens of both may be
protected in making reclamation of their
property which may have crossed the
boundary line.
