Good Reports of Cattle from Different
Parts Of Texas.
4 Ca'teman WGo Relieves in the Future
Herds Being improved-General Live
Stock Not9s and Personals.

Mr.. J n. Morrison, whose ranch is
IN Hale county, was in the city yester-
day on his way to Kansas City. Mr..
Morrison is one of the leading stock grow
ers in his section, and is well posted in
livestock matters in Western Texas. In
conversation with a GAZETTE reporter he
stated that he had never known cattle to
winter better than they have this year,
and that they were now in splendid con-
dit.on all over the range IN that portion
of the state where his ranch is located.
ave have had plenty of water all the
winter, - he said, and the grass has been
remarkably good-in fact, better than I
ever knew II during a winter season.
Then cattle have been healthy, no dis
ease of any kind having appeared among
them
lis there anything doing in the way of
trading or shipping in your section?''
Nothing at all. 1 have heard of no
sales for some time and owners are hold
ing their cattle for the spring market in
hopes Of better prices than now prevail.
Cattle will be ready for market much
earlier this year than they usually are
aud it Is the general belief that prices
will get q little better. l shall hold mine
for several months yet.
Are the cattlemen III your section
doing anything IN the grading-up line?
ION, yes, we are all endeavoring to
improve our cattle by crossing the natives
with flooded animals. Some prefer the
Po.led ANGUS, some the Galloway, some
the Durham, but the Hereford seems TO
be the favorite with the majority. There
has been a marked improvement in the
cattle in our section in the last few years
and the Improvement will continue.
Are the stockmen in your section
taking any interest in the coming con-
vention to be held in Fort Worth?'
"Oh, yes, We are all deeply interested
in it, and will generally attend the meet
ing. In my opinion it will be the largest
meeting of cattlemen ever held IN Texas.
don't know what will result from it,
but I hope it viii be good-it certainly
can 90 no harm. -

Tho Now Mexico Way.

TIE GAZETTE is doing its duty in trying to get
everything possible that may contribute TO the
building up or advertising of the city in which
II Is published. Itadvocates a cattle conven-
ton for the same reason that it does a ''Spring
I4lace, new railroad or anything else that
may help Fort Worth.-.New Mexico Stock
The above very broad assertion, it
need hardly be stated, has some truth
IN 1t, but that portion which tributes
selfish motives TO THE GAZETTE in advo-.
eating the catilemen s convention is a
statement that is in bad taste, coming
as It does from q journal proposing to
advocate the interests of the cattle in
uuStry. THE GAZETTE advocates the
cattle convention because it believes
good to the cattle industry will result
from it; and the hundreds OF cattlemen
VINO are coming to 1t believe the same
lhlng. II may be the style of the Stock
grower to be prompted by selfish mo-
ives in its advocacy of any measure,
out THE GAZETTE is not built that way.
II would not be doing a duty to pursue
such course as is attributed to The
OAzETTE by the above clipping.

Handling a Halky Horse.

To the Gazette.
DEAR SIR noticed an article under
''Rouud-ups" few days ago of how to
cure a balky horse. That method re-
CURED an inexhaustible stock of patience
and patience alone. will give you an
easier, better and simpler one and the
reason for it.
It is well established fact that if you
can get a balkv horse to move forward
an inch he will then go and go with a
vengeance. My method is this: When
horse balks tie a ten or fifteen-foot rope
around his foreleg, between his knee and
feUock. Go well forward and pull
steadily until you have broken
the knee Joint forward and then pull
the foot forward. Now, here comes the
secret Of this method, for with the foot
pulled forward, the horse is compelled to
move his body forward in order to keep
his equilibrium and TO keep from falling
forward and down. A balky horse
throws his body back and braces himself
with his forelegs. This plan breaks his
knee, as it we're, pulls his foot forward
and at the same time compels the horse
TO move his body forward, and thereby
makes HIM move.
have tried this method and have seen
It tried many times and have never seen
It fail. If YOU think that there is any
merit in the above and feel that ii will
do any one any good you are at liberty to
publish it. Yours truly, Y. Y. q.

II you find you are going down hill in point OF

Check these and other indications of premature

The Draft Horse,

a young breeder cannot afford mis-
takes, much less the middle-aged man ..
The four or FIVE years required to breed
and develop q horse do not offer many
chances for experiment, but necesSitate
n settled policy in mind for each year 3
prospective crop of colts. The demand
OF this year may be changed four years
hence. 4 reasonable conclusion at this
time, however, is that nothing can ever
supersede the heavy drays of the city e.
There will always be freight TO be moved +,
IN large loads, over short distances
through crowded streets and alleys, with
necessarily few trips during the day.
Light horses require light loads, which
means frequent trips and delay in the
crowded city streets. A 2:20 horse can
go no faster with load in the city than
heavy horse, as all must keep in line
as a rule. The draft horse, in this sit
uatlon, moves .hree times the weight
that would be drawn by trotter. Such
horses will sell, and such are safe TO
breed.

Not 60 Rad.

During the prevalence and just after
the severe storms in the Northwestern
country, as is usual, the reports as to
the loss of cattle were greatly exagger-
ated, and the figures placed as high as
IS per cent. Since then, however, q
thorough and careful Investigation shows
that the loss will be far below that, il
nowhere being greater than 40 per cent.
and in some localities, where it was
thought the death rate would be terrible
it will not exceed 20 per cent. Sheep, il
appears, have suffered more than cattle,
the loss among the flocks in some sections
reaching as high as 90 per cent.
