Notes Concerning Cattle.

The wise ones predict that inc late run of cattle from Texas will be lighter than usual this season, owing to the large number that will be held this winter and fed cotton seed meal. Parties feeding it last winter were we'll pleased with the results.
 Dr. Holeembe, state vetcrnarian of Wyoming, reports the whole number of cattle shipped north by rail this season to July F from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, at fraction over S6,000. The ax- rivals at Cheyenne being 70,148, the difference, 17,S52, showing the number left in Colorado.
 Wyoming must be overrun with thieves judging from the following extract taken from the Cheyenne Journal: The wholesale stealing of cattle and horses from Wyoming ranges now being openly carried on is doing the state almost irrepara- ble damage. Unless the various prosecuting attoreneys and the courts get down to business and do their whole duty the country will be bankrup.ed."
 A big deal was closed lately at Sweetwater, Texas. A. J. Long, purchased from Col. c. R. Breed love, his WST ranch, comprising $500 acres of Clearfork valley land, consideration $46,500; and Col. Breedloye purchased from Mr. Long 2,7O0 acres of pasture land. consid- eration $11,O00.
 Judge H. II. Campbell, of Mot ley county, Texas, was recently en- joined by the Matador Land and Cattle Company from driving 2,000 yearlings across tfs government quarentine line on to some grazing lands owned by himself, but within the territory of the above mention ed company. The cattle were in Knox county just below the lina and far above the infected district. but notwithstanding the latter fact he has been compelled to keep his cattle off his own lands. Judge Campbell has taken the case to the courts where test case will be made.
 Mir. Murphy, of the Murphy Cat tie Company, of Miles City, Mont, says that the cattle all through tho range are in fine condition and look fat. He says that he does not be- lieve in the theory that cattle taken off green grass are ''washy ;"if cat tie have the points they are fat. His experience in delivering cattle in June and July teaches him that rains and green grass do not make l cattle that shrink. The best cattle he ever delivered was in the month of July, after eix weeks rain, the cattle being close herded and penn ed for delivery 80 that if rain caus- es shrinkage it certainly would have been apparent then. A price above four cents though, he says will com pensate for any shrinkrge. 1 A telegram from Caldwell, Kas.. says: Capt. Hill, U. $.

CHICAGO, Nov5. There are we'll -foun-
ded fears regarding the safety of the
steam barge D. w. Powers A private
telegram from Milwaukee told of the
finding of several pals marked "Str.
Powers" and a cabin door on the beach
eighteen miles north of Manistee.
The telegram further said that the
Powers cleared for Manistique Friday
morning to load lumber for Michigan
City and that 1t Is proba BILE that she
was out in the worst of the recent
gale.
The Chicago barge Office officials
say that the Powers cleared from this
part for Menominee last Thursday.
The boat is said to be owned by James
Charnley, the lumberman of this city,
and by Simon O'Day, her captain, Of
Menominec. She was built by Morley
in Marine City on the St Clair river
in 1871. Last year there was about
$6, 900 spent upon her hull and her
boilers and engines received a thorough
overhauling. She was valued at Sts,-
600, classed AZ and was $50 tons dis
placement
Capt. O'Day has been captain about
thirteen years and is well-known in
Chicago and prominent member of
the Excelsior Marine benevolent asso-
cation. Two wears ago he was danger
ously injured in a collision just outside
the harbor and was laid up for some
time
John Muzzy, one of the oldest engi-

A PROBLEM.
Very Hard Nut for Modern scIentis
to Crack.

4 Cyclone demolished the barn OF
Sam Mcpherson. OF Monroe coun-
ty. Ky. Seventy-seven days later
the workmen who were clearing
away the debris liberated hen
that had been cooped in narrow
quarters formed by fallen boards and
timbers. In the course OF her impris-
onment she had laid an egg. patched
it and eaten the chicken all but the
feathers and bones. Apparently she
had nothing else to eat.
Hero arises an interesting question
for economists: Did it pay the hen to
hatch the egg?
In times of dire necessity self-pre-
servation becomes paramount. Cast
away sailors kill their weaker fellows
and eat them. Famished brutes de-
YOUR even their own offspring. Prob
ably no sentimental considerations
prevented this hen from coolly calcu.
lating whether she could lengthen her
days and increase her chances OF res
cue by Matching out the egg and eat
ing the chicken. or whether her
chances would be better if she ate the
egg while it was fresh. Nobody can
say that she did not consider this
grave problem in all its aspects and
that her survival during the seventy
seven days that elapsed before she was
rescued was not the result OF her de-
cision in accordance with scientific
truths.
II there was nothing to cat in the
fortultously improvised crop. did the
Matched chicken contain more nutri-
ment than the unmatched egg? II
more was the gain at the expense Of
the hen, and did it cost her more than
she received in the way OF increased
nutriment? Warmth is necessary to
incubation. Heat can be produced
only by the outlay of energy. II
there was more food in the chicken
than in the egg, was the excess sufll-
Gent to restore to the hen the energy
spared in hatching the eggP And If
so, was the excess still great enough
to make up for the loss OF edible sub
stance through the conversion of part
OF the egg into bones and feathers?
These questions cannot be dismissed
Dy scientific men as trivial. They are
worthy Of the profoundest thought of
savants Certainly no other hen ever
was brought face to face with ques-
lions from her point of view more
momentous. or which called for
greater nicely in the weighing Of
them. IN. Y. Sun.
