Cattle traffic on the Santa Fe
continues fair Notwithstanding the
lateness of the season, and the cat
tie passing through on the cars
look as fat and sleek asst they had
just come off of a midsummer
range.
The cattlemen are being advised
by eastern commission men to hold
their cattle back for better prices.
The feeling is prevalent that good
beef cattle will be scarce and high

Coconino Sun; Eighteen car

II is claimed that some Wyom-
ing stockmen have discovered a
sure and deadly bait for wolves.
Blood from slaughtered animals
impregnated with strychnine while
it is warm, and then allowed to CO.
agulate, will attract wolves from a
distance. They will eat the poi
soned blood with avidity, while
avoiding a poisoned carcass.
At no time in the history of the
cattle business since the early
eighties has there been such a uni
versal good feeling as to the flu
ture value of cattle rs at present
manifested by u cattlemen. The
only opinion at present expressed
is that cattle are sure TO take a rise
n value hat will be lasting.

Kansas City Packer: Receipts
at the stock yards during the first
month of the new year strengthens
the conviction that the live stock
business of Kansas City in 1894
will as far exceed that of 1898 as
the latter surpassed any previous
year. Although the receipts in
cattle this month continue to show
an increase over those of last
January, there is a shortage of ex-
port steers. A great many more
would be promptly taken at the
yards at good prices.
In the natural contraction of the
horses foot, the horn is secreted
from the living surface, and my.
RAIDS of beautiful vascular and
sensitive tufts dependent from this
surface enter the horn fibers to a
certain depth, and play an import
ant part in the formation of the
sole. The newly formed horn is
soft and spongy and incapable of
resisting exposure to the air; but
as it is pushed farther away from
this surface by successive deposits
of fresh material it becomes old
horn, loses its moisture, and in do
ing so acquires hardness sufficient
to Withstand external influences.
Then it is subjected to wear, and il
this be insufficient to reduce sulh-
GENTLY, it falls off in scaels. This
natural diminution in the excess
of horn Of the sole is a most bene-
fetal process for the hoof. Horn
lisa slow conductor of heat and
cold, and when thick retains mois-
ture for a long period. These
