increasing beyond all precedent, not

The Cotulla Ledger says; Sam Walcot,
Of e ncinal, who has made 9 speciality of
improved stock, sold four car loads Of
beef steers at $s5 per head, and several
hundred hesd of improved mutton sheep
st SO per hesd. The stock were delivered
to the BUYERS at the depot at Encinal at
the sb3ge figures. This goes to show
hsassTe1l 1t pays to raise better quality
Of stock. twenty-five dollars for fat
native steer would be con-
sidered good price, and So for native
mutton sheep is considered 9 good price.
Yet the buyers who purchased from Mr..
Walcot think they hsve made an excel
lent trade, and no doubt they have.
Those who saw the steers say they were
the finest that were ever grown in South
ern Texas and we'll worth the price they
brought. Mr.. Walcot has closed con-
tractor another large lot Of beef steers
of the same grade, and he tells his neigh
bors who are growing long-horns If they
W II quit kicking and growing at the
tariff subject and 60 to work to raise
heavier stock they will be more success
iul and he Is eminently correct.
