In the lists Of live stock entered
for exhibition at the Worlds fair
there are 1906 head Of cattle and
1,0l7 horses.
Over four thousand head Of cat
tie are feeding near Tempe Ariz.,
getting ready for the market.
Large shipments Of beef cattle
are being made from northern Air
IONA to Colorado and other north
ern markets.
There will be the finest winter
feed on the Colfax county range
that has been known for many
years.
Whatever the future'of the sheep
business is it cannot be much
worse than the present, and men
who know their business aul stay
with it will be all right.
Col. w. II. Weed, Of White Oaks,
has an eye to the future in that he
is holding between 10000 and 80,
600 pounds of wool in the hope
that there will be a betterment in
price, n of these days. .
The receipts of sheep at Chica-
no for the first four months of 1893
we're 100000 more than for the
corresponding months of 1892,
and the shipments were $4,000 less.
This shows an increase in local
consumption of $4,000.
Within the last thirty-five years
the average weight of feeces pro-
duced in the United States has
doubled. This is due to the fact
that the sheep have been better
cared for in every way than for
merly and more intelligently man.

breeding.
Market your young cattle. When
you have fully learned to do this.
YOU have learned one of the most
important things in the business.
But remember that in order tc
market them young you must feed
for early maturity.
Every once in a while we hear
people discussing the rustling
qualities of certain breeds. After
all, is it n desirable quality? Are
not the LATEST animals on the place
the best as a rule? In short, would
not a little more rustling on the
part of the owners, and a little less
on the part of the four legged crit.
