net saving OF $1,000 year for thirty years,
besides having comfortable living with
reasonable share of luXurieS, thinks the
business may not be as money making as
some others, but it is very satisfactory to
him. There are thousands of farmers who
could tell the same story.

John j. Claire of Bee county, in speaking of
the number of mature steers in the country
as compared with last year. says he thinks
the number will be short of last year every
where except Southern Texas. Here he
thinks the number to go out will fully equal
or exceed that of last year. Says that down
in this southern country it is surprising
how fast the gaps are filed up with calves
and ones and twoS.
