Brand burning seems to have been
quite an industry il the Panhandle dur
lrg last fall and winter, as discoveries Of
this kind Of cussedness have been made
during the entire spring roundups. The
parties engaged in this enterprising bust
ness must have been busy all winter, as
nearly all the brands of the country, TO !
certain extent, have been tempered with.
The Cotulla Ledger says: 1t would be
3 capital idea for cur stOckmen VINO in
tend iattening cattle next winter on cot
tonseed meal and prlckly pear, to begin
to look about now or the class Of cattle
that it pays best to feed. Experience has
taught them that there is money il feed
ing three and four-year-old steers, and
that class of stock will be scarce here
next fall.
H Barnes, the Denver commission
man who was in Fort Worth some six
weeks ago and made 6 purchase Of several
hundred head of the best of Tarrant
county stock, for which he paid So so per
head, has returned to the city to get the
remainder CT his cattle. He ssys that his
first shipment turned out even better than
be expected, the cattle weighing over
HOO pounds each or their arrival at Den
yer, and that he proposes TO look up some
more Of the same class of stock st once.
The Cotulls Ledger: The m,rket for
beef cattle has been very good for the
past three weeks and large shipments
have been made from every portion of the
state of Texas to northern markets.
Westean Texas has made unusual large
shipments.
The wool market here may be consider
ed now in full blast. though prices are
not fully satisfactory to the growers.
Several buyers have been here
to look at the clips stor-
ed here and to make bids on same. Only
ffty-two bags have been sold so far at
this place, which went to San Antonio
houses and brought from II to Is cents
per pound. Galveston hss not sent mary
