MEXICAN CATTLE.
It is probable that Secretary Morton
will remove all restrictions against Mexi-
can cattle month earlier, possibly six
weeks earlier than November Is, the date
set by law. His veterinary people are
able to show that all chances of Texas
fever will have disappeared by October
Is. If the frosts come early October
may be the day. 1t is among the certain
ties that by October Is, and probably by
October l, the bars along the Rio Grande
and the Mexican border will be let dowr
by Secretary Morton, and the way opened
for the admission of not less than 15,00(
head of Mexican cattle into this country
The number which will come may ever
run 100000 head of cattle over that, and
would, should beef 60 up.
The object of Secretary Morton in this
early, hearty invitation to Mexican cattle
need not be misunderstood. There is a
giant corn crop all over the west. For
that matter, wheat, oats, hay and all forms
of fodder were giant CROP this year
Secretary Morton wants to les IL .he Mex.
ican cattle early to eat up this big crop
and elevate the prices of farm products
to the farmers rather than wait until No
vember Is, after most of the farmers have
parted with their crops, and thereby send
the profits to the speculators.
