STOCK AND FARM.

Rossville Times: Six cars of fat cat
tie were shipped from the Holden ranch
Tuesday night.
Dodge City Globe-Republican: W.
O. Meserve has about eighty acres
planted in wheat, and was still at it
when the snow came and blockaded his
drill IN the field. Many farmers expect
to resume planting as soon as the snow
melts off. The white blanket promises
millions TO the farmers in the way of a
wheat crop.
The snow storm of Sunday and Mon
day in Kansas, the Indian nation, and
Oklahoma had telling effect upon the
stock arrivals at Kansas City, Kan,
stock yards, and in western Texas and
No Man ISLAND the snow is very deep

tie as we'll as checking the receipts, and
it is feared that the loss this winter in
that section will equal that of the men,
orable winter of 1884, unless there is
a speedy moderation of the weather.
The receipts of hogs, as we'll as cattle,
were influenced by the stormy weather,
the run being light and higher market
resulting in consequence, choice, heavy
hogs reaching $3.50 per cwt., the high
est price of the year, Offiutt, Elmore &
Cooper getting this for twenty-four
smooth, well-fatted porkers, averaging
274 pounds, by Dye & Davis, of Blue
Mound, Kan. They also sold for the
same firm twenty-e'ght steers, averag-
ing 1,671 pounds, at $500.
Dodge City letter: The Arkansas
Valley Land and Irrigation company,
which owns over 100000 acres in west
ern Kansas, taken in by various Kansas
mortgage companies, are making ar
rangements to break all their lands this
winter and spring, Superintendent
George W. Watson pacing contracts al.
over this county with the farmers for
breaking. He says that they want to
have at least 1000 acres broken in Ford
county. They pay $3.50 per acre for
breaking and lease the ground to the
party doing the breaking, if he wants
it. Their intention is to break out 120
acres on each quarter section, leaving
forty acres fer small pasture. This
is good thing for Ford county and
the other counties in this part of the
country. Mr.. Watson informs us that
he has 10000 acres in cultivation and
has it all in wheat or nearly so. They
had in last year $500 acres, and even
at the low price of wheat they will
make at least $1.5O per acre on each
and every acre they had in cultivation.
They break this year as far west as the
west line of Gray county, taking
everything clean from Pawnee county
west that is on the line of the Santa Fe
railroad through Rush and Ness coun-
ties, taking in Hodgeman county on the
branch, and Gray, Edwards, Ford and
Pawnee on the main line Also Stafford
and the south part OF Edwards ON the
cut-aff.
