of cattle. He urged the farmers to buy their
grazing cattle from the short-horned grades
coming from Virginia, when about two or
three years old. He does not like the Wes-
tern or Canadian stock. He also urged them
to sell them to dealers directly, and not to
send them to the cities. He urged the use
of corn and cobmeal and cotton seed meal.

frightened the thieves and prevented his
horse from being taken. The lock on the
