Has Caused Them.

nous Desuitide-The Cost Of Making
Beef-Notes and Personals.

The local live stock market is fat is a
fact experienced by all stockmen in this
section. aud it is rare thing to hear of
@ sale made that amounts to anything
There are any number of inquiries about
stoclyers from different points. but the
,nouirers have so far failed to follow up
their inquiries with purchases. This con-
6ition of things is mainly due to two
order regarding the Indian Territory and
the other is the quarantine line as now
established by the general government
and the Indians of the civilized tribes
There would have been a considerable
movement Of cattle from Texas North
had it not been for these two conditions,
before this time. As it is the Cherokee
law prohibits Texas cattle from being
mt of in that Nation. This law became
effective March !, and on June l the
same law will be in effect in the Creek
Nation. In these two subdivisions of the
Territory there have been graZed every
wear a large number of Texas cattle,
and the laws will this year cut down
sales in Texas to considerable extent.
The government quarantine, which is
now in effect, prohibits the shipment Of
cattle except under certain conditions to
uoints north of the line which IS well
known to all cattlemen, and this quaran-
tine is having its effect on cattle transact
tions IN Texas.
The presidents proclamation ordering
the Cherokee Strip to be cleared of cattle
by October l, and prohibiting the ship
ping or driving of cattle to those great
grazing grounds between now and that
time has had very material effect on
the cattle business in Texas this year. 1t
is estimated that not less than 200, 900
head Of Texas cattle were annually
shipped or driven to the Strip, and the
closing Of that section to cattle from any
point has simply destroyed a market for
that many Texas cattle. 1t is claimed
by some that this order, while it works a
hardship on certain individuals and is
for the time rather hard on livestock in-
terests in this state, will eventually result
in good to Texas cattlemen.

The Cost of Making Beef.

A correspondent, writing to the
Western Rural about the cost of pro-
ducing beef, says, among other things,
that the farmer uses the same material
for making a steer for which he gets two
and one-half cents per pound as the one
which brings him five and one half cents.
Can this be proved? Yes, so nearly as
we state it that the difference is not
worth parleying about. Nor is any en-
terprising farmer likely to parley about
it. Consider that a I600-pound steer is
built up entirely from the grains and
grasses grown upon the farm, save and
except the 100-pound calf we start with.
Hence ffteen-sixteenths of such a beast
is made upon the premises. Not, as in
the case of low priced cloth. from mate
rial in the main costing nine cents per
pound. and in at lesser proportion thirty
cents; but from good corn and good
grass, worth in good money the going
prices for corn and hay or pasturage in
the market.

Notes and Personal.

Capt. w. d. Van Eaton, prominent
feeder of Kopperl, was among the visiting
cattlemen in the city yesterday.
The exports of live cattle and dressed
beef from Boston for the foreign markets
last week were 2436 cattle and 8122 quar-
tiers of dressed beef.
Beggs s. Hackett bought this week
three carloads of hogs from different par
ties in this county. and yesterday shipped
them to the St. Louis market.
I. "A. Jamlson of the ALE neighbor-
hood shipped sixty-three head of good
beef steers to the Chicago market last
week and sold on Monday. getting So. 65
for them.
On January l, 1889, there were &c.
States In the last nine years the in
crease of cattle has been 81 per cent.
while the increase of population has been
but % per cent.
The shipments of cattle for the first
week in March in Chicago were the larg-
est on record, with total of 81 ,473 head
taken; prior to that the greatest week
was that ending April ID, 1889, when
81 ,7l3 were forwarded.
One danger point with your pigs is
when they are about four weeks old; If
the SOW Is well fed-as she should always
be-and the pigs are also fed they are
apt to over-feed and cause scours. Care
as to the amount and kind of food the
SOW and pigs are given will pass them
over this time. The food should not be
too heating or concentrated in its nature.
We all like to have our pigs plump and
fat, but should not strive for this till
after they are month old.

Sore Feet in Sheep.

The foot of sheep has a peculiar Sc
eretive gland and duet through which
q vlscid secretion escapes between the
claws This is known as the interungu-
late gland and canal. 1t is lined with
short hairs by which the secretion is at
times gathered into sticky mass mixed
with the hair and the duct is stopped.
This causes Inflammation of the foot and
lameuess The feet should be examined
from time 10 time, and if necessary
cleansed so as to keep this duct free. No
doubt if this Is neglected the secretion
being absorbed and causing the inflam-
nation, foot ret may result, with the
loss of the hoofs through neglect. The
treatment of lameness. due to the gath
cred mass Of hair and sticky matter,
should be as follows: Soak the feet in
warm water, clean them well with q
small stiff brush and carbolio soap; free
the duct from the obstacle and apply
carbolated Faseline between the claws.
Keep the sheep in dry, clean place with

The Survival of the Fittesr.

A prominent Kentucky horseman in
conversation with a reporter short time
since remarked: lone hundred thou
sand dollars looks like a very large price
for horse, but you and I if we live to
be old men, viii probably see the time
when some stallion will sell for $500 900.
The best will continue TO increase in
value, while q good many strains of
inferior merit will disappear. 1t will be
continual strife for the survival of the
httest, and the very greatest horse will
year by year increase in value. " We
have no doubt that this opinion embodies
the truth. 1t epitomizes the history of
the trotting horse thus far.

lnsilage.

Ensilage alone is not a good ration for
the COW, but with clover hay and bran
or middlings it makes a complete ration.
II Is surprising how few have been dis
appointed in using ensilage: of the many
thousands who have built silos, we
rarely hear of one who has discontinued
It's use. On the contrary, the man who
has one silo is apt to build a second and
& third. He finds that he can keep more
stock on the same number of acres. and
more stock means more manure and bet

A Good Sign.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman who writes from Central Illinois,
says the boom in cattle has set in there.
and that buyers hunting them find no
yearlings in the country, the average
farmers neat stock being confined to no
more than needed to furnish butter and
milk. But every farm appears TO be
overstocked with horses, and prices for
them have gone so the bottom. A pair
of sound and well-matched pillow and
farm horaes-scrub bred of course-may
be had for $50, against double that sum
five or ten years ago.

THE WE'LL AWARD.

plicatiOn of S. BoyntOn for Mandamus.

In the Court in General Term Justices Hag-
ner and Cox, today, the application Of Sylvia
nus G. Boynton for a mandamus on the Secre-
tary Of State was heard. The petitioner asks
that the Secretary be compelled to pay him
the balance under the Mexican mixed claims
commission award to Benjamin We'll. The
amount of the award in American money is
S479, 975.95, and Mexico has paid s416. 145 40 to
the United States, out Of which S171 ,8aa. "a has
been paid to parties authorized to receiveit.
Secretary Blaine in his answer states that
$22, 227. So has been paid the petitioner, Boyn-
ton, as assignee, and if the President (who has
control of the balance) should determine that
the money could be paid, $50, POI. So would
be due. He states that the Presi-
dent has forbidden the payment until
the committee on foreign affairs Of the Senate
has Terminated an investigation, and it il as
serted that grave charges and representations
impeaching the evidence on which the award
to We'll has been made have been pre-
scented in a way that commands the ear

that the President is DESTROYS of
having the inquiry made as soon as the
means are provided. He further claims that

This delivery will be made throughout the
entire city and is sure TO be appreciated by peo-
pie who have to leave home for their places OF
business at an early hour. number Of years
ago the first delivery was considerably earlier
than it is at present and a number of droll &C.
currences took place. The carrier, as a rule,
was met at the door by q servant or house
keeper with q pitcher for the milk or the
request that he leave so many loaves of
bread, under the impression that SO early a
caller was the milk man or baker. The super
intendent of the delivery SYSTEM thinks that by
giving a notice of the new delivery at this early
date people may get accustomed to the idea OF
having their letters before breakfast time.
