FattenIng Cattle in Kansas

Topeka Capital.
The live stock sanitary commission,
which was in session yesterday, receiv-
ed report from the Inspector at Kan
sas City to the effect that about 30, 000
head of stockers and feeders have been
shipped out of Kansas City markets
during the rast year to Kansas cattle
men for tie purpose of fattening. These
cattle come principally from Colorado
New Mexico ard the Panhandle. John
T. White, one of the members cf the
commission, said 10 a Cipital reporter
yesterday: I'm addition TO the 20, 0o0
head shipped out CT Kansas City We es-
innate that 10000 Lead were shipped
direct to Kansas cattlemen and did not
20 through Kansas City. This would
make 40, 900 head which are to be fed
on Kansas corn this winter. But the
farmer can make no money in fatteniBg
cattle with heef a. the present low
price. Neither will it pay to ship his
corn to the markets st the present ioS-
price for corn. A farmer who is cbl'g-
ed to haul his corn seven or eight mics
can mot make day wages and might as
vell leave his corn in the field

engraving has just been executed in the
highest style of the art, copies of which
from limited supply. are now ready for

the world on receipt of 25 cents each, in

painter. The outer parapcts are of pure
white, while the interior columns spring
boldly from the plain to height of $50

a majestic frame work for the snow cap
