ROUND.UPS.
The Revolution Now Going on in the
Texas Livestock Industry.
Full BlOods and High Grades Driving Out the
Serubs-The Wool Growers Associa-
tion-Generai Stock News and Notes.

The tendency of stookmen in Tsxss il
toward reduction of herds and an inn
provement of animals. This is without
doubt an indication of bettar condition
OF the livestock interests. Recent sales
of improved cornfed cattle from Texas
on the Chicago and st. Louis markets
have proven conolusively that there il
more money to be realized from
small bunch of improved cat
tie than from large bunch
of scrubs, and it is Just such proof as
this that is opening the eyes of the
Ieasseattleman to his own interests.
p The day is not far distant when big
cattle ranches in Texas will be scarce
but in the place of them will be thous-
ands of stock farmers who will combine
stock raising with agriculture, and rs
these two industries play the one
into the hands of the other, those
engaged in them VIII reap such golden
benefits as have been unknown for years
in this state. The change in the methods
of conducting the stock business-from
large to small hoIdings-will not decrease
by any means the number of cattle in
the state, but to the contrary will have
the effect of increasing them. One
ranchero vino counts his hoofs and horns
by the thousands will disappear and his
immense domain be divided up into small
farms and sold but his place will be filed
by hundreds of small farmers who will
have small bunch of better and finer
cattle than the low grade stock held by
the big cattleman; and the aggregate Of
the small stock raiser and farmer
will be greater than the total hold
ings of the cattle barons. By this change
natural wealth will be added
to Texas, not only as calculated by the
increased number of livestock of all
kinda but by the increased value Of each
animal resulting from the improvement
of the stock. Indications of this changed
condition are now strong, and day after
day carloads of blooded stock-horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep are coming into
Texas. In sections where a few years
ago browsed nothing but longhorns can
now be seen the improved breeds of cat
tie, such as Herefords, Durhams and
Holsteins, while on all dairy farms can
be seen the Jerseys, Attorneys and other
fine milk stock and butter makers. In
those sections where hog raising is en-
gagged in great changes have also taken
place, and the Berkshire, Poland
China, Jersey Red and Suffolks
are taking the places rapidly of
curvedb back, long-legged, wInd-split-
ting, chicken stealing hog known as the
"raZor back'' and which it took all
the corn a farmer could raise to get
half fat. II is not only in these domestic
animals hat great changes are noticed,
but the horse stock is being rapidly i'm
proved by the introduction of blooded
sires from the best strains of blood in
the old states. In fact a great revolu-
ton is going on in the livestock indus
try and it is adding all the time to the
to the greatness of Texas.

THE REFRIGER 4yoR.

a
The Committee Hard atfSRork and Doing
the Best They Gan.
Yesterday morning the committee ap-
pointed by the board of trade to solicit
subscriptions to the fund necessary to
erect the refrigerator plant which is
to be leased to the osttlemen, or rather
to the beef packing company, and by
them operated at Fort Worth, went to
work in earnest and did some good work
In few hours $50, 200 of the needed
500 200 had been subscribed at which
point the matter began to go little slow
but still subscriptions continued to coma
in. There is considerable to be raised
yet, but it is hoped that the business
men and property owners OF the city will
come to the front as they usually do and
say that the enterprise is a go. 1t
depends altogether upon the success
of this effort, whether or not this city
will secure the aecation of the refrigera-
tor. II the Slee eO0is not raised (and
an anewef must be given by Saturday
nlgSt1 there are other ,cities ready to
jump at the chance and accept such d
proposition from the eattlemen.
1t should be remembered that this
500, 900 is no donation, but it is simply
stock in building which when erected
will bring 8 per cent. on the money in
vested as long as the oattlemen use it.
The opportunity is a golden one for
Fort Worth and it is hardly probable
that it will be permitted to go by unin-

IN A BAD WAY.
Cattle Shippers to the Other Side Between
Two Fires-Losing Money by Shipping
or by Not SHIPPING.

Cattle Shippers to the Other Side Between
Two Fires-Losing Money by Shipping
or by Not SHIPPING.
Special to the Gazette
NEW YORK, May 22.-Cattle shippers
are in bad plight. AS between loss of
nearly S25 on each head shipped, and a
loss of $40 on each head if not shipped to
an overcrowded market on the other
side, they are indeed not enjoying peace
of mind. The cause of the trouble is
overshipmentl IN the past, which has re-
suited IN q gluttonish market. 1t is es-
timated no less than $3.50, 200 is lost
every week on current shipments
of cattle from American ports.
In English markets cattle bring only
from $50 to S65 head, while they cost
shippers here $50. Beef in England at
retail markets can be had in abundance
at twelve cents pound, while here it
costs about 20 cents pound. n the
face of this slump in English
prices, shippers find themsel Ives
compelled to continue shipping
cattle. Months and months ago
clippers had al they could do to find
room for shipping their cattle, and then
gladly paid $40 for each head shippe
and contracted to pay this rate up to
August 1. The result was that the offer
iugs being immense, many tramp steam
ships went into the business. The Ma
tional line, Anchor line, and Sanderson g
line, besides several smaller companies
all run regular cattle ships from this
city, and they all have their
space engaged until the 1st of
August. Several companies in Baltimore
run regular ships. Mr.. Barber Of the
National line, speaking of the situation,
says: est is estimated 5000 head of cat
tie leave New York weekly, while a cor
responding number leave other of our
ports for England. On each head of
cattle shipped in the present state of af-
fairs the loss is $40, besides the cost of
shipment. If the shippers do not ship,
OF course they lose the money they have
oohtracted to pay for shiproom Larger
shippers will continue to ship rather than
loas freight money. in the hope that by
the time their cattle arrive on the other
side the market will have receyered.''

No SeasOnable Rain for Three Years and
Cattle Dying by Thousands.
Chas. Armijo returned this week from
his ranch on Three Rivers, says the Rio
Grande Republican. He reports de-
plorable state of affairs as existing among
the stock ranges of that country. There
has been no rain in tie proper season for
three years; all the rain that has fallen
came in the winter months when it did
not make grass. He ssYs cattle are dying
by the hundreds. On many ranges the
water holes are completely filed up with
dead cattle, and on Three Rivers tho
water is filled up with maggots from xiie
dead cattle above. The TuIarosa ana Sac

An Address to the Sheepmen from Col W.
L. Black of Fort McKayett.
Col. W. L. Black of Fort McKavett
one of the most prominent woolmen in
TaAasand chairman of the committee on
Organization appointed by the National
wool growers association, has issued the
following address to the woolgrowers of
Texas:
Fort McKAvETT, Tex, May 10, 1890.
To the Wool Growers of Texas:
Out of compliment to the great state of Texas,
our state association, Capt A. E. Sheppard the
National wool association will convene in Gal
weston on the 18th of June next
II is certainly great compliment to the wool
men OF Texas that the members of the National
association are willing to CONG such long dis
{ance 10 hold their meeting and 1t is to be hoped
that every sheep owner who can possibly do so
will be on hand to show their appreciation of
the same.
There is much to be done by
our state association, which is to
meet just the day before the national associa :
ton.
The organization that was perfected last June
started in with great promise, but owing to some
errors in the same it has been impossible to
push things, and it would be gratifying if ALI
f1tho are interested in the better conducting of
meeting of our state association on the 10Th OF
June, and we will then be prepared to welcome
and meet with the national association on the
day after. VIM L. BLACK y
Chairman on Organization, National Wool
Growers Association.
