AMERICAN MEAT ABROAD.

A Measure that Would be Beneficial to the
Livestock Industry of the Country.
It was announced recently from Wash
lngton that the house committee on ag-
rioulture had agreed to report favorably
the bill now pending before the senate
for the inspection of cured meats for ex-
port, with the notifications asked for by
the packers of Chicago. The question
has been already discussed, but without
any result, on account of disagreement
in regard to the place of inspection,
some wanting the meats examined in the
states where they are packed, and others
claiming that they should be examined
at the port of shipment. If a system
could be adopted which European gov
ernments would accept as satisfactory
they would repeal the restricting and al
most prohlbitive DEGREES actually in force
against the Importation of Amer
lean meats in most European
countries. The popular classes there
need American pork, mutton and beef to
make up for the deficiency in their meat
production. They clamor for it still
now since the experiments for the i'm
portstion of frozen meats from South
America have proved a failure, as shown
by the financially unsuccessful trips
made between Havre and Buenos Ayres
by the vessels especially equipped for
this trade. Similar experiments made
for the transportion of mutton from
Australia and New Zealand to Crest
Britain have had better success, bat
those concern only the latter country and
only relate to mutton, while continental
Europe wants American pork and beeA
1t is more than likely that If a good in.
spection law was adopted by congress it
would prove the best practical step to;
convince the French government of the
soundness OF American meats. and 81
the necessity OF readmitting them, in the
interest of the French lsboring Glasses.

ROUND-UPS.
An All-ROund Talk by a Sommervell
County CattIeman to a Gazette
Reporter.
More About American Meat Abroad-The Best
Kind of Cattle to Have-Cattle in West
TexRs-General Stock Items.

Mr.. W. F. Gardner of Glen Rose,
Sommerven county was in the city yes
terday, and was met by q GAZETTE re-
porter, who engaged him in a short con-
versation on livestock matters. Mr..
Gardner is a well known stockman OF
his section, and is deeply interested in
the subject of improving the grade of
Texas cattle.
''The herds in my county," he said,
"are in as good fix as 1 ever saw them
proving daily. There will not be many
beef cattle shipped from our section this
spring, for the reason that they are not
there to ship. The stookmen did not
feed last winter on account of the uncer-
tainty of prices.
''what do you think of the market
now?''
"Well, 1 have more confidence in it
than have had for some time, and do
not think we will ever strike another
such one as we went through last spring.
! believe there Will be steady improve
ment from now on until prices are on a
healthy basis.
''It will not be long until we have as
good cattle in Sommervell county ss
can be found in Texas. We are grading
up our stock rapidly by crossing and re-
crossing with short horns, and the results
are plainly to be seen now. Good cattle
will always bring the best money, and the
stockmen are beginning TO realize it.
"You feed good many cattle in your
county, do you not?'
eyes, sir, we all feed our cattle, but as
I said there was not much of it done last
winter on account of the uncertainty
about prices. -
'What do you use principally, corn?'
''Some corn, of course: but 1 have
found it was best to use cotton SEED and
hay during the winter, up to grass time,
and then turn the cattle on pastures.
Cattle fed in this way will take on flesh
from the time they get to grass, while,
if they have been wintered on corn, they
will lose flesh for a while after being
turned on the grass. 1 tried the expert
ment with 200 head of steer cattle, 100
having been wintered on corn and the
others on cotton seed and hay, and
found that the latter outstripped the
former in short time. This is much
cheaper, too, as can get all the cotton
seed l want at eight cents per bushel.''

a very sanguine Western contempo-
rary states without hesitation that
within two years beef will have advanced
to such point that it will be a positive
luxury. We are not prepared to accept
this claim as reasonable, nor do we want
to see such state of things brought
about as would establish its correctness.
Nothing would be more injurious to the
beet-growing interest than to have beef
advance to such an unreasonable point
within two years or even ten years. 1t
Is best for all concerned to have a pro-
duct of this kind afford reasonable
profit; but when prices advance to such
point that the product becomes q
luxury, only within the reach of the
well to- do, the grounds for reaction have
already been established. Beef would
not have been such a drag in the
market within the last few years had
it not advanced some years ago to a
point beyond all reason. When any
thing of this kind becomes abmormally
profitable everybody who can do SO
PUSHES into it, and the result is just such
times as those through which this coun-
try has been passing. We are among
those who have confidence in the future
of beef, and we hope to see it paying
well within reasonable period; but we
have no desire to see beef a luxury

THE BLUE AND GRAY.
Old Soldiers Swarm the Hillsides at vIcksburg
and View the Scenes of Former Deadly
ConfIIcts-SpeechH Making.

VICKsBURG, MISS, May 28.-The SOL
diers swarmed the hills this morning in
search of the scenes of their former glory +,
and there being nothing on the pro-
gramme to require their presence in the
CITY, the streets were comparatively
quiet until p. m. At that hour large
| audience assembled at the pavilion to
| hear Hon. c. E. Hooker and Gen.
Kountz, the orators of the day. c. E.
Hooker's address was one of his most
finished orations, and won the hearty ap-
plause of the entire assembly. While in
no respect apologize, it was a manly as
sertion OF the sincere faith of the South
in the justice of its cause, at the same
time according honesty of purposes to the
other. Gen. Kountz, IN replying,
complimented Col. Hooker and said he
wished his remarks could be heard in
every city in the North. lie then ad-
dressed the audience as follows: Com
rades who wore the blue and comrades
who wore the gray, 1 thank you more
than have words to express for this re-
ception. 1 did not come to make a
speech but to visit old scenes once more,
all during those days of 1862, and which
had been consecrated by blood of many
brave men. How hard to realize the
swiftness of flying years. More than a
quarter of a century has passed since the
blue and the gray met in deadly con-
flict on these fields. l am glad to De
here, and thank God there are no serI-
Gus differences to divide US; that
the terrible struggle in which
we were participants ended in blessings
for all victors and yanquished, and re-
joioe in the good feeling here to-day,
that the love of country has grown so
strong ana friendship been so firmly con-
neoted. We who twenty-seven years
ago opposed each other upon fields met
to-day with no feeling other than good
fellowship, save patriotic in the love of
common country, the noblest and freest
under the sun.
Gen. Kountz related at considerable
length the thrilling incidents of the cam
paign on the Federal side in the
vicinity of Vicksburg. He said: ''I
need not tell what pleasing sights
were signals and what proud spectators
we were as we sat on our works July 4,
1868, witnessing regiment after regiment
and battalions of Confederates marching
out to stack their arms in front of our
line-thst was the proudest day of our
lives, as it marked the decisive point in
the great struggle for preservation of the
Union. To the boys in gray who now
stand before me, let me say. while not
accepting the principles and purposes for
which you fought, have ever had the
most profound respect for the valor and
fighting qualities of the Confederates,
who on many hard fought field dis
played so much endurance and courage,
and, in conclusion, desire to say, from
the standpoint of soldiers, that too much
credit cannot be given to the gallant de-
tenders of Vicksburg. thank God that
he permitted me to be here to-day, and
all meetings of this kind must intensity
our love for and devotion to our country.

Cattle in the West.

Mr.. George B. Loving, who has been
residing in Ell Psso for about four years +,
has returned to Fort Worth, where he
will permanently reside. having accepted
the state agency for Texas of one O. the
leading livestock concerns of the ooun-
try. Mr.. Loving was seen by q GAZETTE
reporter yesterday, and in q brief con-
versation that ensued he gave anything
but good report of cattle conditions in
that portion of Texas west of Midland on
the plains.
"'There has been no rains there for
months, " he said, grass has dried up,
and cattle are absolutely dying from
want of something to eat
The statement of MIR. Loving is backed
by that of others who have been in the
same section, and unless rain visits that
country soon the loss among the cattle
will be heavy. They are too poor and
weak to drive, would not sell if shipped,
and tits tempting fate to keep them on
the bare plains.

A Fair Demand.

Tom Andrews stated to GAZETTE re-
porter yesterday that there was q pretty
good demand for good steer cattle, and
that there we're several trades on foot
that he thought would pan out pretty
soon. Prices are not high for any kind
of cattle, but they are held steady by all
men who have good stock, as they be-
lieve no money will be lost in holding
them. The demand is principally for
steer cattle, by men who have good pas
lures either in Texas or in The Territory.
From the country farther North the de-
mand is much lighter than it has been.

year later q good deal more of home
grown wool will be placed on the market.
Nobody seems to want to sell sheep, and
there is an unquestionsble tendency to
enlarge crop possessions. AS to what
prices the new clip will command there is
much room for conjecture, but not much
of positive fact on which to base caIcu-
lstions. The tone of trade end outlook
for the season, though, are rather more
cheerful than two weeks ago. Facts as
far as obtainable show but little wool
either in the country or in the seabosrd
markets, while imports have lately
fallen off-al of which is good as far a.

The Kind of Cattle to Have.

The price of good cattle is steadily
augumenting; and so are poor cattle,
too, for that matter, but in nowhere
near so great ratio. Cattle improve
ment, an Improvement that improves,
is lmperatively demanded by the times,
the markets and the appetites of the
people. Types Of cattle that will sup
ply the lergest per osntage of the most
desirable cuts, and that will develop
those outs in the shortest possible time,
are the objective points beef growers
must strive for and attain with all pos
