"Ilq airy for steers still continues 5000.

fc,ent. There is not bunch OF sssers IN

sre compelled to hunt around IN the
southern part Of the state, and
even there the owners are not
blood thirsty to sell. OF coursesths
are steers to be had in the west, bHtsthe
holders gre pretty stiff in the vsfdssion
Of them, having strong belief that they
will gain in value as time goes by.
The Fort Davis News contains the FOL
lowing paragraphs:
A herd Of about 400 stock cattle passed
through town Yesterday belonging to Mr..
A.DQrsrd and were driven from Taylor
county TO be placed On his ranch, eight
miles below Maria. Judging from the
condition CT the bulk Of the herd of the
cattle, the grass and water must have
played out in that country.
Mr. John Prude and John Finley re-
turned last Monday from Robbins ranch,
on Toyah creek, where they went to re.
ceive bulch of steer cattle for Mr.. r.
q Looney Of Colorado City, to place on
Prude's ranch. They failed to receive the
cattle on account OF not seeing the party
on their ranch. They reported excellent
rains in that section.
Mr.. Charles Weinacnt, one of Reeves
county's prosperous fockmasters, was In
town this week. He shipped his fall clip,
1000 pounds, to St. Louis. He says sew
eral fine showers Of rain have falien in
his section lately. Mr.. Weinacht before
returning home ordered US to enroll HE
nsme on our subscription book. He paid
for one year in edusnce, which example,
should be followed by every one. =
The following, from the Prairie Farmer,
contains valuable hints to many stockmen
in this section who are addicted IL he
fault mere complained CT:
Il is waste of feed of any kind to give,
20 seek upon the ground, and especially
.ny kind OF grain. There is slwsys nisRe
or less loss that With good management
could very readily have been avoided, and
that would In very short time psy for
the expense Ct providing suitable places
for feeding. Even the hogs ought to have
g tight e oor upon which their corn can be
lee, rather thsn upon the ground. Il ,ugh
feed, given to csgtle, sheep or horses, 1t
fed upon the ground, IS certain 10 hsye
more OF less OF Il trsmpled down and left
Tight & oors, upon which the grain fed to
hoge csn be thrown, and feeding troughs
or boxes to feed grain to the other kinds
OF stock, with racks or mapgers for al
kinds OF rough feed will prevent such
loss. II ali the stock are kept

And where 8 considerable number Ct

Cf.el mak3 q considerable diff renee in
the Tins required 80 properly feed and
care for the stock, hcw the arrangements
for feeding are made. A due regard to
the making and handling OF the manure
should also be considered. The making,
saving and applying CT al the manure
possible should always be made an item,
And in plslning the feeding arrangements
this should also be considered. The feed
leg arrangements need not be expensive;
they should, however, be convenient,
