The Hoof and Horn reports dis
 couraging cattle news from the vi
 cinity of Rumble Bee, this Terri
 tory. From the best information the disease seems to be new in form
 and that when the animals first show symptoms, 1t is but a few
 minutes before they are dead. A dizziness seems to come over them, when they at once fall and are found with their tongues out of their mouths, and other indications as though strangled. MT. Simpson is so far the heaviest loser, thirty-fve head being counted. Messrs. Bar ber & Snider have also lost heavily and others we have not learned the names of None of the animals have been dissected, and as vete- rinary surgeon cannot be procured, nothing is known as to the nature of the disease.

nois, and we'll give you land there
 for S2.5O an acre and pay you $S
 for your Kentucky land" The h.
 dians had io go. Before long the whites caught up with them and
 the story was: "Go over to Mis-
 souri, and we'll give you land for
 $1,5O per acre and pay you $1O for
 this" They went. The ax of the
 white man was soon heard, and
 again the story went: "Go over to
 Kansas, and we'll give you land for $1.25, and pay you $15 for this" Great Scott" said the Osage chiefs, or whatever the Osage for that ex- pletive is, well keep moving as long as you like at this rate" So over to Kansas they went. Here they staid few years, and at last the government said: "See here, we can't go on doing this. We'll have to put you over in the Indian Territory, where we'll give you land for nothing, and we'll pay you SIS an acre for this" Itis easy to SUD- pose that the Osages went, and
 
 there they are to-day. But this isn't all the story. There are to-day just 267 Osages. They have in bank a great sum of money which makes them the richest Indians in the country, and not only that, they have in the Indian Territory tract of land that is as large as Massa- chusetts, New Hampshire, Yer mont and Delaware combined, and as fertile as the Garden of Eden. This land the cattlemen have got hold of by paying the chiefs a small sum for the bargain and re- eeiving lease in return at lower rate. The young Osages think this rather hard lines, but they have got so much money that they don't need to grumble, in fact, many peo- pie will wish they were Osages when they read this story.-Philadelphia Press.

A few years ago he became possessed of young buffalo bull and four heifer calves, which have so increased that he now has d herd of eighteen bulls, twenty-five cows and eighteen calves, all thorough bred, and experimenting by cross ing with ordinary native cattle, he has found that the halfbreeds pos sesses largely the characteristics of the thoroughbred, differing only in color, which will make the robes more valuable on account of the noveltv.-American Settler.

Jas. Scott: of Show Low, Apache county, mention of whom was made in our last issue as having passed through here with a band of sheep for the Tucson market, went no fur ther than Tom Steele's ranch with the band. He visited Tucson, and finding no market for his sheep, concluded to drive them back to Show Low. Tom Steele bought 100 head of the finest wethers in the flock, and Mir. Scott then took the back trail.-WilcoX Stockman.

The first ring appears on the horn after the animal has passed two years old-soon after, as a rule, though sometimes before that age. During the third year the ring gradually increases, and at three years of age is completely formed. The second ring appears during the fourth, and at the fifth is complete. After that period an additionalrin is formed each year. A COW with three rings is six years old; with four rings she is seven years old. No new rings are formed after the tenth year; the deeper rings, how ever, and the worn appearance of the horns are pretty sure indica- tions oi old age. In boiled cattle the age can only be known by the teeth.-Engfish Exchange.

Last week we gave the opinion of Mr. Todd that the wolves had de- stroyed nearly fifty per cent of the calt crop on the Cresswell ranch. Mir, Latcham, who came in Satur- day, says that the loss is greater than that and he thinks the entire calf crop will be killed out in a few months. NIT. Mckenzie has just brought 8 pair of Siberian bloodhounds to his ranch to hunt them with, and has contracted for twenty more. Every ranchman should do likewise and rid the coun- try of these destructive pests.- Texas Panhandle.

E, J. Simpson returned last Tues day from the Aztec Company's ronch in Arizona. He tells the Stars young man that grass in that country, as in this, is just splendid, and their cattle are rolling in fat.

An interesting, but entirely up- expected, contest took place yester- day Tn the building occupied by the Fish Commission, when large lizard from the Gila river, Arizona, known as the Gila monster, whose bite is poisonous, finding itself in proximity to two-year-old alliga- tor from Florida, made a savage at tack upon the scaly reptile, and closed it's jaws with a snap upon the fore paw of the alligator and held on. The latter made a vigor- ous fight and its jaws closed dog en times in quick succession upon the mailed head of the assailant. It soon, however, became exhaust ed and moaning like a suffering child, it relapsed into quietude. The attendants sought by variety of means to release the wretched alll- gator, but 1t was only after the use of the severest means that the mouth of the Hazard was forced open and the alligator freed. It is supposed that the latter will die from the venom in it's system.- ,AKashinpton Star.

Judge William c. Hazledine, so- licitor for the Atlantic & Pacific Company, is in Prescott, trying to secure reduction in the taxes as- sessed against the road in that county. The Courier says: The Company claim that the assessor did not comply with the law in as- sessing the property, and that if the Company should desire to combat the payment of taxes for this year it would be victorious, but the Judge wants to compromise the matter by paying some $12,000 or $13,000 upon all the Company's property. This would be getting off very light, but there are some who think 1t best to take what we can get, rather than go to law, especial lv as the assessment was not made in legal shape. Others say the Su- pervisors had no right, at any time, to compromise values with the At lantic & Pacific, and that if the county has to go to law for it's rights it might just as we'll do so at once and have the questions involved settled.

A cattleman remarked the other day in our presence that ''bad ear marks make bad cattle" In an swer to the inquiry why, he said he did not know, but that he had ob- served in handling range cattle that animals with their ears gone or bad ly disfgured were ugly and difficult to drive.
 The remark caused us to philos- ophise as follows: The ears were given to animals for a certain pur- pose, and the law of adaptation was faithfully carried out in the manner of construction. Without going into the details of the forma- tion ot the bovine ear, 1t is suffi- cient to say that 1t is so shaped as to catch the slightest vibration of sound and lead 1t directly to the organs of intelligence or instinct, as the reader may see proper to class that intellectual power our dumb animals possess. The cut ting off of the ear destroys the nat ural conduit of sound, and throws it upon the inner organs with such violence as to produce an abnormal effect, and very rapidly destroy them. So, too, does the carving of the ear into many parts by slsts, crops or bits, destroy the approach of sounds, and give exaggerated notions of danger. All this tends to make an animal nervous, and every practicolcowman knows that this means trouble when he at tempts to move cattle on the range or road. One or two nervous ami mals in bunch of beef steers on the way to the shipping point cause a shrinkage in the herd of more than the value of one or even half a dozen, in many instances, by stampedlng or causing unnecessary excitement. n
 The ear-mark is really of little value. so long as brands are used, in determining the ownership, and they might be dispensed with. At least such marks should be used as will affect in the least the hearing of the cattle, and such will be those that do not greatly disfgure the ear.-Northwestern Live Stock Journal.

An exchange says movement Is on foot to organize and concentrate the business of handling the range beef product at St. Louis. Some prominent range cattlemen are in- terested in the project, and the out look for the success of the move ment is propitious. It is certainly a ":onsumnation devoutly to be wished" as it would put a quietus on the blood-sucking operations of the opulent Chicago firms which now absolutely control the beef market of the country. Further developments in this matter will be awaited with much interest by range cattlemen.
