used this winter is new corn, aud know

will hold rather than sell st al tx

have TO buy before they can rsiss another
good crop. This feeling is genera, and
men are not going to press the sale Of

IKE T Pryor. the veil known cattlemsn
OF Central Texas, is in Fort Worth,
having recently returned from Southern
Colorado aud the Panhandle. He says
the Northwestern part OF this
country islooklng first rate. and that the
rains have been SO plentiful IS to make
grass luxurisnt snd etock water plenti-
full. This is in marked contrast to the
country between Pueblo and Trinidad,
where everything is dry and sterile
There is q remarkable Circumstance con
rected with cattle never before noticed
in Texas; the old hair which
should have been shed last
spring still remains upon the
backs of the cattle, and at with the
growth Of hsir this year puts them in
good shape for the winter.
Colonel Pryor says there have been be-
tween 40 900 and $4,000 hesd OF cattle
taken into Texas aud the Indian Territory
this year from Colorado and New Mexico
far fAtierilg.
Every one has noticed while driving
how rarely horse steps on stone even
when going very rapidly. A writer In
Golden Days quotes an old csvalrymsn
that horse never steps on a DlBn inten-
tionallY. 1t is standing order with

mounted be must lie down and keep per

pans will PASS over him and he will not
be Injured. A horse notices where be
is going, end is on the lookout for G Arm
foundation to put his foot on. Il is al
instinct with him, therefore, to step over
s PROSTATE man. The III lries caused by
runaway horse ara nearly always in
ficted by the animal knocking down, and
not by Stepping On the victim.

several years, yet the receipts upon the
market 60 to show there is rather an
ovsrplus than shortage. And the
Colonel looks for no great improve
msnt in values either this fall or
Rext spring. There ore 50 many steers
being fed this winter that the markets in
the spring will be as greatly flooded as
they are now.
With no feed in the country yesr sgo

when feed is more abundant than ever be
