TSHE STOCK FARM of S. s. Cobb

K was visited by The CHIKFTAIS
scribe one day last week, the Captain
having invited us out to see his fine
horses. 1he mere seeing Of this stock
set the scribe to thinking, aud when il
is all summed up 10 is an enterprise
Yinita, the queen city of the Indian
Territory, may be truly proud Of. In
all there are about forty head Of roy.
ally bred trotters and it is Mr.. Oobb's
intention to put the fees so low that
all who may desire to do so may with
out excessive cost improve their stock.
we have, as is well known, the best
morse climate in the world; We nave
the best grass and more of it than any
section Of country on the face of the
globe; and we can raise this sort of
horse (Which is by far the most profit
able) cheaper than it can be done
anywhere. We cannot expect to have
a record breaker out Of every colt we
get, but suppose we don't; we at least
have got a horse that will sell for from
! $50 to $3.50 at five years old because
be is good roadster aud is big
enough to do anything and he is far
more tfactable aud intelligent than
the sort we have been raising, which,
after eating as much corn as good
horse we could not sell for more than
$50 or 500. The time is surely coming
when the territory horse will be
eagerly sought after and to say of a
horse that be has been raised in this
country will be a sufficient guarantee
that his legs, feet AMI wind are all tina
could be desired. No stockman OF
horse owner can afford TO overlook
these facts. Everyone found ii neces-
sary TO improve their cattle with in.

more if any to raise a good colt than q
steer and the colt will bring four times
the amount Of money when both are
