There promises to be q lively fall
trade in cattle through I'll Paso, Many
cattle purchased early in the season,
but which could not be rounded up
on account of the drouth, will now be

Their stocking. Within the past week

The Mobeetie TEX, Panhandle says:
L. Il. Wilson, general manager of the
Texas Land and Cattle Co.--one Of the
largest in the West--spent several
days in town the past week. Mr..
Wilson has been experimenting with
remedies for Texas fever and has come
to the conclusion that two tablespoon
fuls of belladOnna administered daily
for three or four days and then fol-
lowed by twenty-five grains of qui-
nine IN whisky three times daily, will
effect cure,
The great secret of success in cattle
breeding is to keep animals adapted
to the soil, climate and pasturage.
In order to succeed we must study
this, for breed which is invaluable
in some localities may be iIl-adapted
for and consequently Improbable in
others. Respecting size it should be
observed that nature, operating on
food and climate, is imperious, and
will produce cattle proportioned to
those circumstances in the course Of
time, whatever the original size of
the breeding stock may have been.
A number of states east of the Allie |
ghenies have not been since the last
outbreak Of pleuro-pneumonia perma-
nently from the disease. New York, |
Delaware, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, /
the District of Columbia, Missouri, and |
other states have had their visitabons, |
some quite recently. But, as already /!
stated, the disease is not now known |
to exist in any state west of the Allie |
ghenies, except possibly still latent in
few isolated localities of Kentucky. /
There is no doubt the disease may be
stamped out in the United States if
proper measures are taken by the gem (
eral government in connection with /
the state governments. 1t will take
time and cost money, but both win be |
we'll expended.
There may be many perplexities in
the way Of the association regulating
the amount Of stock to be turned upon
its ranges, says the N. NJ. Stock Grow
err, but the matter of every man turn
ing loose cattle to crop range already |
overburdened is the one question Of
supreme Importance at the present
time, and must be solved by the cat
tlemen, as unit, or the beginning off
the end of cattle raising on the open
range has already appeared for the
locality thus affected. This danger is
and forcibIy so to all cattle
men in the oVercrowded sections. The
association should regulate the mum
her of acres to each head of stock run
thereon, or the extent of ones range
by the number Of acres each person
owns in fee covering water rights.
Then each man stands upon equitable
footing as to his use Of the range. As
it is coming to now in the matter Of
range rights, the man with solitary
l6o-acre holding covers as many acres
Of the grazing with his herds as the
man does who owns twenty or fifty /
manifestations. The many under the
