AN INCLosURE IDEA.

'Tis Cheaper to Fence the Stock in Texas
Than 1t is to Fence the Farms.
The Bonham News suggests an idea in
regard to cOnfnlng stock and let ting
farms be uuiuclosed which, if adopted
would make Texas the most beautiful
land in the world. In some of the Ger
man states such O thing as any farm ami
NAL running at large is unknown, and
around the beautiful farms of that coun-
try there are no fences. The effect is
beautiful, and tits certainly cheaper to
fence stock than to fence farms. The
News says:
''The question of Enclosure is one that in an
other V ear or two viii be of Importance in the
agricultural regions of this state, and most
especially so in the prairie regions of North
Texas. This county is already nearly all fenced
up, and IN travelling one has to go through lanes
nearly all the time, the road zlgZagglng hrst IN
one direction and then another, making the dis
tance necessary TO be travelled in going from one
point to another almost twice great as it
gests itself whether it would not be
better, and saving of enormous
expense to inclose. by fences only the
necessary amount of land for stock, and keep
all KINDS of stock in Enclosures and do away with
fences around cultivated lands. There Is so lit
tie for stock to get by running at large that out
side pasturage in this county is of no conSe-
quence; all kinds of stock have to be fed or kept
IN the pastures already fenced 20 DO any good.
Then why would it not be better aud much
cheaper TO require all stock to kept inclosed and
save the expense of fencing and keeping fenced
the farms? Then If the fence around the farms
could be done away with the public roads could
be made straight and generally put on better
ground for road purposes; much distance in,
travel could be saved, and by saving distance it,
would reQu ire less labor to keep the roads in
order The News offers these suggestions for
the thought and reflection OF its readers

shearing Sheep by Electricity.

Sheep'are now sheared by electricity in
Australia, Frederick WolseleY, a
brother of Lord Wolseley, having in
vented a machine for the purpose. The
simple, the operator having merely to
throw friction wheel into adjustment
by means of a handle, and then push the
comb into the wool, pressing it continu-
ously forward and keeping 1t as close as
possible to the body of the animal being
operated upon. From one TO one hun
dred shears can be operated at one time.
By this mode the shearing Is done more
mereifully than when done by hand

R0UND-UPS.
While Trading in Range Cattle is Slow
BloOded Stock is Active.
Bad Judgment in shippers Rushing Cattle to
Market on Slight Advances-General
Livestock Notes and Personals.

1t is noticeable that there is compare
lively little doing in range cattle, few
sales being reported, and the prospects
ahead none too good. This condition Of
affairs is no doubt due 20 the uncertainty
of Indian Territory matters, and tits
feared the business will be materially
affected all this year. This condition,
which now coufronts the Texas cattle
men, is causing deal of thinking, and
the result of It all is that the opinion is
time of the big cattle ranch is growing
shorter and shorter. That in the long
run the cattle industry will be greatly
benefited by this no one will for a mo-
ment question. Cattle will, in a few
years, be fewer in number, but the
grade of them will be much better, and
they will bring more money 20 the pro-
Queer. Less cattle and better cattle is
going TO be the watohword of cattlemen
in Texas in the future.
That greater interest has been awak-
ened in fine stock in the state is evil
denced by the sales made in the market
during the week. THE GAZETTE has al
bred cattle, horses and jacks made at
Polk Bros. stockyards, giving the
prices paid for each animal Other
yards in the city have also had good Gus
tom and the transfer of bloOded stock is
rapidly increasing. This week Young
& Kuhen have sold q number of fine
animals, among the lot being the follow
ing: To J. J. Green of Tarrant county,
fifteen shOrthOrn bulls and nine short
horn cows and heifers at an average Of
sG5 per head; to George Overton, three
Jersey heifers at $50 per head; to Stewart
Bros. OF Jack county, two bulls for $50;
10 Kennedy s. Eggleston, two fine mares
at $500; to Mr.. Maron of Weatherford,
one imported stallion at 5000; to Mr.. Da-
Fis Of Seymour, one grade PercherOn
horse for 5000.
The indications are that the market
for blooded stock in Texas will be better
In the future than it has been in the past.
True the stockmen will have to be edu-
Gated up TO paying big prices for the best
stock, but they VIII come to it in due
time and when they do they will begin to
feel that the livestock business in this
state has been thoroughly regenerated.

Supreme Court Matters.
special to the Gazette.

GALVESTON, Tex, March 22.-The supreme
court, which adjourned yesterday until p.
to-day for the purpose of passing upon the writ
Of attachment issued yesterday to the sheriff of
Harris county to arrest and bring before the
court W. H. Gayle, Jr.. district clerk of Fort
Bend county, to show cause why he should not
be adludged in contempt OF court for failing to
comply with a writ of mandamus issued by said
court, the sheriff of Harris county failing to
appear with the recalcitrant clerk at the hour
named, court stood adjourned until Monday.
Several cases from Fort Bend county on the
docket of the supreme court are DELAYED in con-
sequence of the failure of the district clerk of
that county to send up transcripts. Mandamuses
have been issued, but these have only elected
the reply from Clerk Gayle, who is in Houston,
that to return to Richmond and comply with the
orders of the court would be TO endanger his life.
The court does not believe this, hence its writ
of attachment.

ADiaerence of Opinion.

There seems to be a considerable diff
ference of opinion among cattlemen as
TO the effect of the Cherokee Strip proc
lamation upon the cattle market. Our
cattIemen here seem to expect lower
prices in consequence of the forced mar
keting of the cattle now in the Strip,
while Texas men think il will have the
opposite effect on the summer market,
by shutting out their cattle. Mr..
McReyuoIds, one of the noted
ranchmen of Wharton county, Tex. :.
Tells us that last year nearly or quite a
million head Of cattle were driven from
bis state to the Strip and shipped TO mar
ket from there during the summer.
