The Passing of the Cowboy

The cattle industry 0f the panhan- dIe never presented such favorable premise for prosperous year as at present Water is scarce in few sectiOus and is not particularly abun- dant anywhere, but there has been no actual suffering from the lack of it. nor will there be any from any sort of d rainfall during the spring months. The grass crop is all that could be desired and the mild winter and early spring has already matured the new grass on many ranges sufficiently to afford stock fresh food in abundance. Further, the losses have been jnsignl- ficant during the winter and prices have been steadily advanced for all sorts of stock As to the latter par ticular it may be noted that fifteen and sixteen dollars have been refused for unborn calves in many instances. Many cattlemen state that this selling futures in their calf stock is repre- hensible practice anyway, and one calculated to deplete the ranges of breeding stock too rapidly
 A party in from the Panhandle city district states that cattle tran sections in his section have been put on purely and systematic basis. The days of the old time cowboy are vanishing and he is fast becoming associated with memories Of the trail the ''chuck-wagon" aud the autumn roundup" In fact all the time-honored features of the business, clothed as they are with that tinge of romance which has always attached itself to the free life of the great plains of Texas are heinz chased among the things 'thaU were.n No more selling of a brand" nowadays, with the purchaser to hunt up his own stock and do his own counting.
