Breeders Gazette: Stock cattle
are tolerably scarce all over the
country. A dealer said he saw
plenty of good pasture in Iowa re-
Gently with no cattle to eat the
grass The financial stringency
has apparently stopped business in
cattle feeding operations.
During the month of July last
year there were four days on which
receipts of cattle at Chicago ex-
ceeded $1,000. For July Of this
year there has been only one day
on which the number arrived ex-
ceeded $1,000.
Texas Live Stock Journal: It is
curious that every advance in the
price of cattle increases the demand
for pure bred stock. AS soon as
farmers see good prices in sight
they are willing to grow what the
market wants. It will be wiser
to produce them Sll the time, and
so be ready to meet the demand
any time.
Among western breeders who
will exhibit cattle at the livestock
show at the worlds fair are Thom-
as Andrews, Cambridge, Nebraska,
Herefords; E. E. Day, Weeping
Water, Nebraska, Herefords;
VILLAIN Millers' Sons, Wayne,
Nebraska, Red Polls; La Veta Jes-,
sey Cattle company, Topeka, Kan
sas, Jersey; and 9. F. Stone, Pea
body, Kansas, Holsteins.
Some of the Arkansas valley
stockmen have determined that
the season has been very like the
one of 1880, which was followed by
a severe winter with heavy fall
of snow. Anticipating that the
simile will be carried out and that
the coming winter will be hard
one on stock, they announce their
intention of putting up as a much
feed as possible and weaving the
calves early so that the COWS will
enter upon the winter season in as
good condition as may be, says, an
exchange.
Field and Farm: With beef
cattle in Europe worth 81 a hun
dred more than they were a year
ago, and cattle in this country
worth considerably less, it seems
only reasonable to expect a marked
improvement soon. AS a matter
of fast it is temporary conditions
that are forcing cattle values SC
low Just now, and when these con.
ditions are removed, which they
Will be soon there must be reac
ton for the better. When th,
food of the thin grass cattle has
subsidized and the monetary string
ency is relaxed, the men who have
beef cattle to sell will be able tC
get something for them.
In the report Of Mr.. Hilton,
Kansas commissioner at the
Worlds fair, he expresses concur
rencein the generalimpression tha
the demand will exceed the supply
of beef in sight for several years
The late report of the Agriculture
Bureau shows a reduction of l 700,
600 head of beef cattle in one yeal
and the next report is expected t
furnish further decrease. Nj
Hilton estimates that it wi
require at least four years to in
crease the herds to equal the nun
Der of cattle for 1892, and seye
years to equal the number of bee
cattle per capita for that year base
on an annual increase of 2 per cent
in the population during the pre-
sent decade. The Kansas authorit
does not anticipate a return to tn
alluring prices attained in 1888
but predicts that good beef wi
rarely sell below $3.50 per hundre
