The Quarantine Line.

TOPEKA, KAN, April 1.-THE livestock
sanitary commissioners have completed
their work and the quarantine against
Texas or Spanish fever is now in force.
The quarantine line extends along the
southern border of Kansas to kiowa county
and thence south to the thirty fourth de-
gree; thence west to New Mexico. There
are six inspectors, stationed at Chetopa,
CCfeyville, Wellington and Caldwell. three
OF whom are under government employ,
but under orders from the state commits
sioners.
The regulations as now in force are bet
ter than ever before, although last year no
diseased cattle We're brought into the state
except few that We're Smuggled III and
they were quickly corralled. The railroad
companies are careful TO observe the rules
and will not handle any cattle until after
q certificate has been issued by the in
spectorS
This was illustrated by the Memphis line,
which company telegraphed one of the conf
missioners that a shipment of 200 head of
Arkansas cattle had been offered, and de-
sired TO know what to do The reply was
that Arkansas cattle could not be allowed
in the state. The shipment was refused,
and the Missouri Pacific brought some cat
tie from that state for Washington county
but they were detained ut Kansas City,
where there are SIX inspectors. The cattle
were refused admission into the state and
the consignee received their market value
or what would have been their value, had
they been proper cattle for shipment, in
money.
While there is but little fever south, the
commissioners believe they viii make this
year the purchase of cattle Us safe as if no
fever ever existed.

Texas flocks have come through the win

with the wool generally clean and of good
staple.

The railroad authorities are trying to set
aside the practice of having livestock billed
TO Chicago and sold at Western points and
then forwarded in the name of the original
owner at the through rate. This move
means that shippers must decide in advance
which market they will ship to and bill ac
cordingly. Stock sold at Western markets
and then forwarded eastward will have to
be billed at local rates. The move is IN
favorable to spectators have made it
a practice to buy cattle al Western points
and forward them here on the original
through billing.-[Chicago Drovers' Jour

Poor Success With Spaying.

Mr.. W. H. Van Ness of Williams, Iowa,
writes the Homestead that he had forty-six
heifer calves spayed in October, 1887, of
which four died within thirty hours and
one in six days from suppression of urine,
and one-third of the rest retained ths
sexual instinct Those that lived We're fef
off at the age of thirty months and sold iii
Chicago at 50 per hundred. bulls selling
on the same market at 50. This shows that
the operation was performed by buugler,
We would not spay calves in the fall. but i
the spring, nor should any man be alow6
to perform the operation unless he IN
show that he has reputation as q skNed
performer The best operators lose an
average of 8 per cent. When cattle are low
and the market crowded with stock, butch
ers will not pay near what this class of
stock is worth. When cattle are scarce
they will pay well up to steer prices.

Young Cows.

Young cows are best, says writer in
the Breeder and Sportsman. l doubt if
it pays TO keep any cow after eight
years unless it be for her calves, for the
milking qualities certainly depreCiate at
that age when she has passed her best
But as the calves are an important part
of the income from COW it may pay to
keep the best of the old COWS on this
account. although my experience has been
that old cows do not retain their yield
of milk so long as the young ones. AS
an instance of the value of an old COW
might mention one which was fourteen
wears old when she brought me her
thirteenth heifer calf, which was my best
testing and experimental COW. and which,
when between her second and third calves,
made COS pounds of butter, and in four years
made 1919 pounds Of butter. all of which
sold at an average of 50 cents per pound,
bringing in that time the sum of Ss24. 80,
OF over 500 year. Certainly this old csw

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES.
Some Texas CattIeInen Working the Rab
bits Foot to Get Back into the Strip.

Capt. George Cooper of Seward, o. T.,
was in Kansas City recently and stated
that cattle are being quietly shipped into
the Cherokee Strip from Texas. When
Capt. Cooper came up from Seward he
saw cattle train being unloaded near
the Ponca agency. The train was from
Goldenberg junction, Tex, and the cattle
We're simply consigned to the station,
not to any person. Nobody seemed to be
in charge of them and they were turned
loose on the prairie by the trainmen
when they arrived at Ponca. The
United States marshals were there, but
they were powerless to act as there was
nobody in charge of the cattle to arrest,
and they could not well look after the
whole herd. Capt. Cooper thinks it is a
shrewd scheme of the cattlemen to get
their stock into the Strip and that they
have cowboys waiting near the station to
take the cattle Off

Guernseys and JERSEYS.

The Guernsey and Jersey breeds OF cattle
come from different islands in the BIRTHS
channel. On each island care is taken TO
preserve its favorate strain in its purity,
and the two or more alike in their general
appearance than the cows of any other
breed, although the Guernsey is the larger
Of the two by from $50 to 200 pounds. Both
are noted for the richness OF their milk, and
for that reason are highly esteemed as fam
lily COWS. In this country the Jerseys are
much the more numerous, but the Guern-
seys are increasing in number, and there
are many notable herds of them that are
esteemed by their owners and admirers as
at least equally, if not even more desirable
in all respects than the Jerseys. The milk
of the two breeds, when tested for butter
fat. has been found so nearly alike that no
preference can be given TO one over the
other in that respect.

was such a heavy rainfall in the field that
it ruined ten acre field of luceine that
