STOCK AND FARM.

Topeka Journal: Three carloads of
hcrses have been taken from Topeka this
spring to the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country and sold there.
Grainfeld Cap Sheaf: NJ A. Kerr
is preparing to begin breaking. He
has contract to break 400 acres for
the Red Oak Land and Grain company,
of Red Oak, Iowa.
Several years ago, G. w. Williams, Of
Independence, Iowa, wanted to bring
Axtell, the famous horse, to Topeka, to
trot for $500 at the state fair. Secretary
Moon refused the offer, as the horse WAS
at that time comparatively unknown.
Cedar Vale Commercial: Mr.. Foudray
is feeding about thirty head of steers
for the spring market. He says he
raised his own steers and corn and can
afford to sell on the market, but it keeps
him sossbusy that he can hardly get time
to go to church
Cedar Vale Star: Mr.. Carpenter, re-
port says, will have 700 acres broken
up this spring and summer on the farms
of John Palmer and Leonard Reward on
the Arkansas. He now has 200 acres
in wheat there, and with 700 more will
have something of q wheat field next
year.
Olathe.-John Reed, a farmer living
two miles south, of here, was found
dead near the Kansas City, Fort Scott,
& Memphis railroad track. He was about
50years old and had been partially deaf
for several years and it is supposed he
was struck by an engine while walking
on the track.
Topeka Journal: The fine, young
trottfng mare, MARY" which made a
brilliant record here last fall, has been
sold by her owner, r. I. Lee, to Nat
Brown, a stock man at Omaha, Neb.,
for $4,000. The mare was a two-year-
old and will be three next summer. She
has already a record of 1851, made on
the tracks here last fall.
Ashland Journal: D. S. Johns is
having bad luck with his sheep. Since
bringing in 2,400 head a short time ago,
he has lost nearly 400 of them, if we are
correctly informed. In Friday nights
storm sixty of them died, and Saturday
night the number dying was so large
that it hadn't been counted at last ac-
counts. One informant thought the
animals had the scab, and that, with the
rough weather, was too much for them.
Correspondence of a Cove county pa
per: What is to be done with the man
who is trying to hold cattle by turning
them loose and taking no care of them
Would it not be good plan to keep a
watch for all such cattle and drive them
out of the country? 1t looks to us as
though the cattle men thought the
whole country belonged to them, they
are so Indifferent to the rights of 9th
era. Would it not be a good idea to
call meeting of the homesteaders to
discuss the cattle nuisance and agree on
a definite plan of action?
Cedar Vale Star: The cattle business
at Elgin commenced again by the ar
rival of three thirty-five cars
on Tuesday and three on Wednesday.
OF these, 500 head-one train load
were Mr.. Carpenters, bought by T. P.
Kyger in Texas and shipped through;
the rest belonged to Mr.. Haalf, who
held cattle here last season with Sylves-
ter Fitch in charge; this year Jimmie
Williams is foreman. The cattle came
in in good shape, are large-framed steers
and stronger than many that came in
last year; but finding their new range
covered by a six-inch fall of snow and
the old grass burned off last fall, they
will have poor picking for few weeks.
