 have, it is said, far exceeded Texas stock of the same age in the ac- emulation of flesh, while they also become acclimated far more easily than the long horns from the Lone Star State. If this be true a boom in Arizona and New Mexico year lings may be expected during the approaching season.
 Journal of Agriculture: We have information from a good many points west that the demand for bulls for the plains will be very large. The past winter has been a very hard one, and as but few bulls were bought last spring, those on hand were worked down and went into the winter poor and but few of them lived through.
 Clarion: More interest is proba- bly, being taken in the live stock line this year in Arizona than in any previous years, but not enough to make any change in the breed ing up or character of the bovines we have heretofore possessed. But now a general move seems to be the order and those who can are grading right and left with the best blood in the land.

 Silver Belt: Trouble is brewing between the sheep raisers of Apache county and the Aztec Cattle Com pany. The company recently made arrangements with the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company for the occupation of 100000 acres of rail- road land, and the company there upon drove the sheep off the land.
