Mr.. Ernest Kranz, L Southern Texas
stockmsn, WAS II the city yesterday. He
says 80 far as he has learned, not having
made close invt stigaliOn, stock in the
southern part OF the stste being fed On
cactus is doing splendidly. The stock
rsisers of those parts are in good spirits
over the condition of their business.
Statements from many parts of the
north indicate tina dlshornlng is being
carried on TO sn almost unlimited extent.
In the vicinity s0f Pekin, H., hundreds
OF cattle are being treated that way. The
Indicator speaks Ct enc nan who fiads
that after dIshorning, two head can stand
under the same shelter formerly occupied
by one.
Captain S. +. Judy, superintendent of
the Rio Grande division of the Texas
and Pacific, who WAS in the city yester-
day, SAID that there would be about
hundred carloads of stock shipped over
his road during the next month. The
cattle will mostly come from west; some
from New Mrxico. Gatewood has few
more carloads to send from Midland.
The northwestern Ocef steer has eaten
his value in curn and grain when he
as steer gets there equally as fat, without
ever seeing an ear OF corn or bundle of
oats. His owner has probably never psiG
one cent for the grass that made him fat
The same Ia also true of other feXss live
stock that IL sent for ssle to northern
markets. S HeetRater Record.
We read Yankee farm paper with iIs
terest because it seemed to tell the story
exactly right. We filaliY got to the last
article. II WAS on ventilation. 1t stated. |
;One of the most frequent causes of 'dis
ease among cattle is LACK Of proper vensk 1
lation in their stalls" We sew our mis-
take when too late, and sadly laid the pa
per away. 1t may be a good paper for
Maine or even OHIO, but won't d. for
Texas, where the only thing COW gets
from December TO May is ventilation
Ventilation is cur forte. We are done
with that paper Honey Grove Citizen. |
