For many years Texas fever has been
the greatest obstacle In the way OF
shipping northern pure-bred cattle to
the southern ranges. Heretofore losses
In cattle shipped from the north by
this malady have rarely been lees than
40 per cent, and frequently 70 per cent
or more. In the nature OF the case
southern buyers could uot pay s~atisiao-
tory prices and run the risk OF loss
from Texas fever. To grade up their
herds, they would willingly buy all Of
the surplus bloodod stock Of the north

means tho rayages OF this fever could
