in the state of Ohio that are peg
ging through the world each with

the place of members lost by acct
dent and calamity.
While there are few locations
where the range is short, the con-
ditions as a whole are favorable
and cattle will generally go into the
winter under circumstances that
Justify the belief that losses will be
light in the event of a moderately
open winter season.
El Paso (Tex.) Tribune; Deep
water on the Texas coast viii bring
better prices to the Texas cattle
producers. 1t will bring the Eu-
ropean markets over q thousand
miles nearer than at present, and
this large saving in freight alone
will make splendid profit TO the
stock raisers,
When the present cattle shipping
season is over, which will be in the
next twenty days, says the Field
and Farm, there will be but few
steers left on the ranges Of Colorado
above two years of age. The dispo
sition on the part of the cattle
owners is to clean up the broad
IONS and shift their methods in the
future.
The Panhandle cattlemen are
apprehensive that the great inflow
of cattle in that country from the
short rass sections of Colorado and

dition, and there are many fat
steers on the range awaiting pur-
chasers. Let buyers come here,

Capt, Henry Warren, Of Wealth,
erford, the pioneer breeder Of Short
horns in Texas, captured some i'm
portant premiums at the Dallas fan

Shorthorns do not deteriorate il

The following extract is made
from a kindly letter received by
The Stockman from Hon Geo. E.
Brown, of Mayer, Yavapai county,
one of the pioneer stockpen OF
Northern Arizona! 1--WE have had
fine iaias recently, and will have
some new feed on the range in the
northern part Of the county. Beef
is looking up a little. A number of
sales have been made at II cents
during the last few weeks. White
faced cattle are doing nicely in this
section. Wilcox Stookman.
New Mexico Stock Grower: The
butchers of Southern California
maintain that they will find mar

Arizona can supply for the next six
months. The necessity on their
part to use the he ilthy beef Of that
Territory is made doubly Imperative
by raason of discovery, as will be
seen s,sewhere In these columns, of
diseases among the cattle from San
francisco to Santa Barbara, and
which are likely to cut off supplies
for tho butchers from that entire
section for somtime TO come.
