So far as STAYING quaIitieg are concerned
Salt for Domestic Animals.

The French government appointed
commission to test the effects of feeding
salt to domestic animals. and it is not
noted for doing foolish work IN such
cases. The commission arrived at the
following conclusions: That salt ought
to be added to all cooked foods, to sup
PLY the loss of salt by boiling, steaming,
etc. that salt counteracts the effects of
wet food and meadows on sheep and pre-
vents foot rot; that it increases the flow
of saliva, and therefore increases fatten-
irg; that IN preparing mixtures of chaff,
pototoes, beets, bran, oil cake, etc.,
salt ought always to be added to it, and
1t be left stand for a couple of days to
ferment slightly; that animals should
receive per day-the working OK or mile
cow, two ounces; the stall fed OK, two
and one-half TO four and one-half OF
an ounce; the lean sheep, one-half to
three-fourths OF an ounce, and the horse,
donkey or mule, one ounce.

Notes and Personals.

Doc Riddle, the well-known cattleman
from Alvsrsdo, was in the city yester-
day.
James Kennedy of Odessa, leading
cattleman of Wet Texas, was in the city
yesterday.
Mr.. A. P. Samples, prominent Col
orado cattleman, and who was well
known in Texas, died in Denver city last
week.
Arizona has been blessed with good
rains recently, and stockmen feel much
bett er as their pr aspects for good range
has been improved.
The light demand for steer cattle at
present can be attributed to the prospect
for a bad corn crop. Many feeders who
would have been in the market are not
there on this account.
The cattle run at all the markets Is too
large, and the consumption is not equal
TO the supplies. This may be temporary 4,
hut the drouth will drive cattle to
market in large numbers unless it is soon
broken.
Says Mr.. Frank willard: HThe idea
that has gotten abroad to the effect that
q Merino sheep makes inferior mutton Is
absurd. There is no finer mutton III the
world than in France, where all mutton
sheep are Merinos. A well fattened Me-
rino sheep that will weigh about l25
pounds will sell for more in London or
Paris than any other sheep of like weight
in the world. The Chicago market re-
quires what is designated pony built
sheep. There are no ponies in this coun-
try but the Merinos. -
The American Cattle Co., of Socorro
county, n. NJ. now own the celebrated
Joe Fowler ranch near Magdalena, which
they purchased from Messrs. BrutOn &
Reed, together with 1000 head of cattle
and all other stock belonging to the
ranch. The transfer was made in
Albuquerque the latter part of June,
and work was at once commenced re-
moving the company's stock from their
ranch in Bernalillo to the new purchase
in SOcorrO county. Information is to the
effect that the ranges III that section
have been visited by good rains, and
that the stock was never in as fine con-
dition.
Several of the farmers on the Guuni-
son who have raised crops of beardless
barley will experiment with fatteniug
hogs on the same. Those who have tried
it claim that it Is far more valuable than
corn for that purpose. The manner of
feeding will be to steam it before giving
1t to the hogs. There are crops of this
grain growing on the Gunnison that will
be expected to yield from sixty to seven
ty bushels TO the acre. 1t is said by
those who profess to know that one acre
of this beardless barley will make as
much pork as two aer es of corn Field
and Farm.
The farmer who breeds young sows
every year and fattens after one litter,
selecting in turn the best brood sows
from this litter, can never expect to
have frst-class herd of hogs on his
farm. He never has any fully devel-
oped animals and VIII never have any
pigs with the stamina and vigor they
should have. Breeding stock in the full
prime OF life and health always gives
the best and most satisfactory returns.

ROUND-UPS.
The Drouth is Playing Sad Havoc With
the Cattle Market.
The Rush Of Cattle to the Markets Unprecs'
dsnted-The Nels Morris Purchases Thor
oughbred Horses Observation-Disclosures.

The drouth in the feeding states is
playing havoc with the cattle market, no
doubt. Cattle that are unfit for beef
are being rushed daily TO the markets &,
and the receipts are heavier than were
ever known at this season of the year.
This is because the range in many Sec
tons ia failing, and because, in the feed
ing states the corn crop is failure. In
Chicago the receipts of Texas cattle have
been much larger than ordinarily, and
those who ship are suffering. Cattle are
down and the prospects for an immedi-
ate advance are bad. A Chicago paper
some time since, in speaking of the rush
OF cattle 10 that market, says:
'For the time of year the receipts of
livestock have continued large beyond all
precedent. The receipts of cattle were
never equaled but once before, and for
no previous week in July were as many
hogs received. The prevailing feeling,
therefore, was one of weakness. For the
remarkably heavy receipts of cattle the
drouth, from which the West is now suf-
fering, is wholly accountable. 1t is
within bounds 70 say that 20 per cent. of
the cattle received at Chicago during the
of lack of pasturage. Thus far-by
reason of an unusually active export de-
mand-there has been no very serious
shrlnkage in values, but the market can
not be expected much longer to with
stand the strain. A few days more of
such receipts as we have been getting
during the last fortnight and q collapse
is inevitable. Good to extra 1850 to 1900
rnnnA cd Of
bly, lower than week ago, while COM
mon to fair cattle of all weights have de-
clined from fifteen to twenty cents per
100 pounds. The highest price paid dur
ing the week was So. There was but one
sale at over 81 80 and exceedingly few
at better than 81 so, prices below 81. 40
taking the great bulk of the cattle. As
a consequence of the scanty pasturage
the demand for stock cattle has practi-
cally ceased. and the offerings are there
fore selling to great disadvantage. The
immediate future of the cattle market
has an ominous look.

The Breeders Gazette, published at
Chicago, of the date of July 26, says:
Within the last two weeks $50, 600 cattle
have entered the Chicago stockyards.
1t is within bounds that 80, 900 of this
number would not have come on the
market at present were 1t not for the
fact that in a large part of the cattle
raising territory of the West the pastur-
age is so "dried up" that it will no
longer furnish sustenance. In some Sec
tons the drouth has been so prolonged
that the water has given out, and
farmers have been obliged to send their
cattle to market in order that they might
not die on their hands. The situation
is becoming serious. II cattle continue
much longer TO come forward at the
present rate lower prices than have yet
been known must certainly prevail.

Fast rhoroughbreds No. s.aver,.

We are repeatedly told that the thoroughbred
horse is deteriorating; that there no Wag-
ners, Grey Eagles, Lexingtons. nor Ten Broecks
among the modern racers. II such be the case,
will some one explain the recent phenomenal
running of Salvador. Tenny, Firenzi, and
Racine? The first two finish one and a quarter
miles almost head and head in 2:05, one and
half seconds faster than the record. Firenzi
runs one and half miles in 2:33, lowering the
record by second. Racine on Saturday last
reduced the mile record of l:39s4, made by Ten
Brock thirteen years ago, by one-quarter of
second. On the same day Teuton, a son of Ten
Brock. reduced the record for nine furong to
1:52ia, reduction Of one i-alf second, and ran
the first mile in l-394I, which is one-fourth of
second faster than his sire's record, which has
stood the best for thirteen years. Horse
Breeder.
So far as staying qualities are concerned
the thoroughbred horse is deteriore ting,
and this because horsemen in this eoun-
try of late years have been breeding for
speed and not endurance. 1t was once
the case that stayers were plentiful and
there were thoroughbreds that could
make their four miles with ease and
could even go through a race of four
mile heats. Where can such horses be
found now? They are not i'll the country.
Making fast mile or fast mile and q
half is a different matter. Where are
the horses that will stay through the
long heats?
