A Boom for California,

"THE increased tariff on foreign wines is
having stimulating effect upon the wine
growing industry of my State" said Cali
tornian visitor yesterday. They tell me in
San Francisco that the prospects of the Cali
fornian wine trade are brighter now than ever
before, This in part is due to the tariff and in
part TO the reduction in freight charges which
followed the appearance of the Santa Fo road
as a competitor for transcontinental traffic.
The Southern Pacific was not unwilling to join
hands with the Santa Fe, and the day prohIb-
tive freight rates for through freight from
and to the coast is over. In consequence the
wines and the fruits of California are getting
into the central and Eastern markets OF the
country as they never did before. In Chicago
especially Californian products are attracting
great deal of attention, and the proprietor Of
one of the best hotels there told me last week
that he was free to confess that Californian
wines were better than seven.eighths Of the
foreign stuff he bought"

From the Panhandle.

Col. II. H. Campbell, superintendent
of the Matador cattle company, Is in the
city, having come down from the ranch
in the Panhandle Sunday. The colonel,
who is generally in good humor, met
THE GAZETTE reporter with pleasant
smile on his face, and in answer to his
numerous inquiries about cattle in the
Panhandle generally. and on the Mata-
dor pastures particularly, said:
"Cattle are in as fine shape as I ever
knew them to be in August, and they are
improving in many sections of the state
every day. There are lots of fat cattle
in the Panhandle now, and by the time
the fall shipments begin the country will
be full of them. We have had splendid
rains all along, and l learn to-day that
heavy rains have been falling up the
Denver road, as far south as
Decatur, this morning. The range
in that section where our ranch
Is located is very good, both
as to water and srass-ln fact it is as
good as could be asked. Yes, we will
ship this fall somewhere in the neigh
borhood OF 5000 head of beef steers.
We have shipped up to this time quite q
number, which you have already pub
lshed in THE GAZETTE.
Col. Campbell is rarely bothered by
the condition IF the cattle markets. He
ships when conditions are best, and as
the Matador cattle rank high they
always bring top figures. They have
been graded up until there are no cattle
in the Southwest that can beat them.

THE RUSH TO mARKET.


shrewd Men are Watching the Diminishing
Supply and Freezing to Their Cattle.
There are some cattlemen who are to-
day watching the onward rush of cattle
to the markets as a good general watches
the movement of troops in big battle
watching every feature and when the
proper tine comes they will move for
ward their herds and snatch profit
from the field where SO many have met
financial disaster. The Field and Farm
referring to the rush of cattle to the
market says that for nearly two years
past the cows and calves have been
rushed into the beef market and slaugh-
tered as never before. Those who have
watched this course carefully have won
dered why the rise in cattle has not been
more rapid and decided. But there is
always plenty to most people as long
as the market Is well supplied,
whether behind this visible supply there
are nearly exhausted resources or not.
1t il the everlasting now which most
people are interested in.
The people who watch the diminishing
source OF supply are hedging, holding on
to their herds and getting ready for the
tide. Touching this question of supply,
one of our Eastern exchanges notes in
the markets there the same condition of
things. II says: 1.-THE calf markets of

Cotton Seed for Feed,

Professor Gully of the Texas expert

making beef or butter, two bushels is
equivalent to one bushel Of corn. It in

white and hard, but if fed with ensilage,

bushels of cotton seed to cattle Of all
ages, and have never noticed any serious
injury to the animal from this feeding.

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
The Sad Fate Of SIX Year-o Son Of A. P.
Waldrip near IredelI.

The Sad Fate Of q SIX Year Old Son Of A. P.
WaIdrip near Iredell.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
IREDELL, Tex, Aug. PA frightful
accident occurred four miles west of this
place about O'Clock yesterday after
noon in which James, the six-year-old
son of A. P. Waldrip lost bis life by be-
ing dragged by runaway horse.
From the best information at hand it
seems that Mr.. Waldrlp and his little
sons aged six and eight years went out
on the farm to feed and water a horse
that had been staked on the grass during
the day. The older brother 1t seems
went after some corn and sent his
younger brother James to lead the horse
TO water. In a short time the horse was
seen running and apparently badly
frightened, and as the little boy did not
show up the family became apprehen-
sive and started out in search of the
missing child, and soon came upon its
mangled remains.
1t had been dragged near 800 yards and
was bruised and disfigured almost beyond
recognition. The skull was crushed and
beat almost into pulp, and the brains
oozing and presented a sickening sight
not soon TO be forgotten by those who
witnessed it.
The rope had become entangled about
the child s right leg and il was dragged
feet foremost over rocky declivity.

Sheep and Goats.

A sheep will live where a goat will !,
and yield fleece and better meat than
goat flesh. A mountainous country is
better adapted to sheep than any other.
The high and dry soil, the sweeter her.
bage. the purer air-all are in favor of
the sheep. Land so poor that it will not
support sheep should be planted with
trees, If only hooppoles can be grown on
it. But let the goat be turned out into
the wilderness-it is all 1t is good for as
farm animal. The best breed of goats,
however, have their uses as milk pro-
ducsrs for rural families who have not
facilities for keeping cows; and then the
goat should be put on as good rations as
COW is. Out of nothing nothing comes,
not even goat or goats milk.

ROUND-UPS.
Cattlemen Fighting Prairie Fires in
Northwest Texas.
Condition of Range and Cattle in Texas-A
Cattlemsn's Words of warning-Hold
Back Your Cattle.

Fred Horsbrough, manager OF the Es-
puella land and cattle company, is just
down from the company's ranch, and
brings mixed account of good and bad.
Cattle, he says, are in fine shape, and
are taking on flesh rapidly. The COM
pany has shipped literally this season
and win send out about 5000 head OF beef
steors during the fall and winter, COM
menciug in about three weeks and con-
tinue on until November.
''It has been rather dry with us until
recently, - be said; s'not dry enough to
hurt cattle, but the grass on the range
had become rather dry. Within the last
two weeks, however, we have had pretty
fair rains and things generally are in
better 'hape. During the dry season
when want of ram and the hot winds
parched up the grass on the prairie we
had great trouble with fires. Prospect
ors would come through the country and
build fire in such places as would cause
disastrous CONGREGATIONS. One fire that
was started by two men from Parker
county about three weeks ago commune
Gated TO grass that was at least two feet
high, and before we could extinguish it
about 5000 acres of pasture had been
burned. Another fire was started by the
lightning, but did not do so much dam
age. Within a months time we have
had on our ranch seven alarms of fire,
and l can tell you we were kept pretty
busy. One alarm-the big one-that
came in was eighteen miles from
headquarters, and it was a lively
race to get there. We made
the distance over hills and
valleys, across rivers and creeks, in just
one hour, and had one of the Snost des-
perate fire fights l was ever in. When
we reached the scene the borses were
about done up, and when the fire had
been put out the men were In but little
better tx. Some of them would drop in
their tracks from sheer exhaustion, and
even /, who can stand about as much as
N ost people, tainted while beating the
fire.
We have matters 90 arranged now that
the fire, should 1t break out, can not get
much start. 1 have the men in the CEN
ter of the pastures and from their camp
they can see smoke as soon as the fire
starts, and as they will not have so far to
ride to it as heretofore they will be able
to check the flames before much
damage is done. The fires which
have been started heretofore have all
been accidental, but were the result of
carelessness. Range riders are now con-
stanly patrolling the roads, and il will
be hard for much damage to be done this
fall. The rains too, have lessened the
danger in this respect and feel much
easier -

overlooked this year. As consequence
many beef calves OF excellent breeding
have been almost been given away.
"Three years hence the owners of
these calves will regret their haste in
disposing of them. OF that we feel GER
tain, but the depression in the cattle
business has been such that farmers see
no way to q profit in beef.
This surplus of good beef
calves has started curious feat
ure of the dairy business that would seem
to upset some of the old ideas of stock
feeding. Some butter dRirymen near

Cattle Short.

J. E. Lee, general livestock agent OF
the Chicago and Rock Island road, wa
In Kansas City last week, having just
returned from a trip through Texas and
the Inoian Territory. To a newspaper
reporter he stated that, as result of his
observations in the Territory, there were
not near so many cattle there as the
railroad men had calculated on hauling
out this fall, and that those which are
there for shipment are only in ordinary
condition, as the dry weather has pre-
vented them from fattening.
