It is stated that more than two
hundred thousand Texas cattle are be-
ing fed at oil mills, in addition to those
bsinR fed by parties at their pastures
or home pens. AS we have before
stated Texas is about to adopt the plan
of making the profits of fattenlng as
we'll as growing her cattle. The high
price of corn in Kansas has had much
to do with the increased numbers fed
at home. Fine stock which can be
matured young may altogether revolu-
tionize the cattle growing industry in
Texas.-Abilene Reporter.

field Cattle company, 10 having the
ground broke in the portion of the old

acres of alfalfa on their four farms,
which practically Join each other, be-
ing separated only by two roads, run
ming at q right angle to each other, and
will enable them to procure aud main
tain additional white faces which will
make their herd one of the largest and
best Hereford group in the southwest.

The Texas state board is entitled to
no credit for the suspension of the dip.
That hsppy result has been brought
about entirely by influences acting in
dependent of the board. That august
body apparently viewed with entire
the loss of thousands of
dollars by the interest it was sworn to
protect, and when confronted by the
situation it very promptly
took refuge behind the skirts OF the
federal government and declared it
had never endorsed or recommended
the dip! This brought about the an
omalous spectacle of the officers of
sovereign state submitting to the lille
gal action of the Federal government,
whose authority begins and ends at
the state line, and whose power with |
In the state is wholly dependent upon
the courtesy of the state. One mega
tive word from the representatives of
the state at the beginning would have
0bviated the difficulty and compelled |
The proper development of the dipping |
theory before it's incorporation in our |
state quarantine regulations.-West |
Texas Stockman.
Anent the rapidly growing policy of
Texas cattlemen to breed up their |
herds the Midland Livestock Reporter |
makes the following sensi BILE observa-
ions:
There is marked increase in the |
number of fine bulls which have been |
into this country for breed
ng purposes. These bulls are mostly |
rom Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky and |
Missouri, and consist of Durham, Here
ord and ShOrthOrn. Last year
The sale of these bulls amounted to
! sum in the neighborhood of
nd hn {rd ho<
The amount expended here this
year in the purchase of the bulls will
exceed that amount. This means that
luc stock men in West Texas are dew.
