u There Such . Thing a. the Rest ure~d
Of n..f cs,ii.f
A great many farmers In the states
came TO tho conclusion when the range
business was started that thern VIVA no
use 20 raise and feed beef cattle any
longer. But only $50, 600 western range
cattle were on the Chicago market for
1seo--about o per cent. Of the entire 70.
ccipts. With receipts ut Chicago Of
100000 cattle. not over 10 pr cent
could 10 clhssed rs good to choice, eay
$4,000; this Is probably m oycrestima,o.
OF the entire receipts the western rangcs
furnish 10000, Texas 100000, and the
s,.tes 2,5e0,00O. The good to choice
$4,000 come from the states cattle. this
will leave ., 5'5, 900 that cannot be- quoted
good.
Now the work Of the breeders u puro
bred beef breeds is 10 find u way By
which $3.50 600 cattle that now class a.
kcruhs--coarsc, rough steurs-cun be
raised TO good and choice beef steers Il
must be- remembered that this l. only
fractional part of what Il To bs done. bnt

TIE easier II isto get on top
For four years past very little has
been done to improve the cattle Of tho
states or on tho ranges. The Zig Four
have held the top and bottom very close
together. a good portion u the time
The bulk OF the native steers have held
between three and four dollars Der 100
pounds, and now the number that get 10
five dollars and over Is very small. Ii ia
coming, however, aud my Judgment (,
There will be steady advance to six
dollars and upward. As cattlemen real.
no this they viii want TO get there."
AND 10 do this they will want our bulls,
anu they cannot got there without them.
FOR twenty years there has been a
warm competition between breeds. and
twenty years ago there was a general
opinion there was but ono breed thar
would produce tho steers that would take
the top place In tho markets. OF the
world and that breed was supposed 10
