their product during the past
twelve months. While SEEMING is
the most important method of
catching fish, the trot-line aud
hand-line add materially to the
catch. The annual report of l.
P. Kibbe, Texas fish and oyster
commissioner, just issued, states
that the total area of fishing
grounds along tbs Texas coast is
247l square miles. The main
shipping points along the coast
for fish and oysters are Calves
ton, Port Layaca, Rockport and
Corpus Christi. The principal
fish marketed are reddish, red
snapper, trout and sheephead,
while Spanish macleral, pom
pano, jackiish, founder, bluefish,
croakers, whiting, rockfsh and
bass are caught in limited guam
titles during the different Seas
ons.
Oyster culture in Texas waters
has become an important indus
try within the past few years.
Commissioner Kibbe says in his
report: "About the year 1850 the
Galveston Oyster company trans
planted a large quantity of oy-
sters, removing them from Mata-
gorda bay to Galveston bay. tits
reported that this effort proved
failure, and that they not only
lost the plant, but also the spat
of the season. The total destruc-
ton of this bed has never been
satisfactorily explained, although
several theories have been adj
vanced.
1.-The Tiger Island Oyster COM
pany, of Port Lavaca, planted
over 1000 barrels of seed oysters
in March, 1897 and in November
these oysters were in fine cordi-
ton. More than one-fourth were
of average size, marketable oyst-
els, which if left in reef would
not have been utilized at any time
as oysters in this reef had not
been found in marketable condi-
ton. The price of transplanting

rel, and the market price for
good oysters being from 700 to
$1.25 per barrel good margin
is left for gathering and market
ing.
"It is claf med by some that oy-
sters will grow in almost any To-
cality and Upon any bottom, a
collector for the spat being the
only essential. While this is true
to some extent, my observation
does not bear out this theory all
together. Food supply and a
limited amount of fresh water
are necessary elements. While
they do we'll on some mud bot
toms, on others they die as quick
ly as on saud. A deposit of for
eign mud or soil will often kill
out a bed, although good bed
will sometimes be entirely sur
rounded by a natural mud bot
tom. In changing oysters from
one locality to another depth and
temperature of the water should
be observed, as we'll as other nat
ural surroundings. If any great
change is necessary, is will be
found that young oysters will
stand it much better than the
grown. Owing to the mild eli
mate and the long-growing sea-
sons in This state, the oyster is
very prolific. The spawn is less
liable to injury from the cold and
good spat for each year is more
certain. y
1t is said that under favsrable
circumstances some oysters ma

West on Cattle.

west, in speaking of present con-
ditions in the cattle business, said;
"The recent rains have put the
best season in the ground, down
in Live Oak county, that l have
known in ten years time, and
gives the stock interests in that
section the promise of an early
spring and splendid grass crop.
| believe that cattle in our section
are going to winter all right. At
the same time there is O great
deal of shortage of grass, the pas
ures as a rule are very lightly
stocked and in cases where stock
men have not sufficient feed on
the range to carry their animals
through; all that | know who are
30 situated have made arrange
ments to rough feed, so that there
is not likely to be any severe loss.
"Great changes have come into
the cattle business during the last
year or two, and if there is any
one factor that has become firm
ly established it is that the day
of the scrub animal is gone by
forever. ...,
81 note the position that the
government has taken in exclud-
ing Mexican cattle unless they
will bear inspection, and l well
come this action as the forerunner
of great things for the live stock
interests. One of the hardest
things that we have had to con-
tend with IN times past has been
the constant stream of scrub
stock that has been permitted to
enter Texas from Mexico and mix
with our herds, to the end that
where many of us have been
spending thousands of dollars for
the purpose of fusing new and
better blood into our herds, the
common Mexicans have been q
clog on our efforts and have pre-
vented the rapid advancement in
grade that would otherwise have
-talxen pluce tlifUfghout the south
west.
"This, however, has not been
the only bad feature that has re-
suited from this Importation of
common cattle. One of the most
serious results has been in the
standing and reputation that our
stock have had on the northern
markets as a result of the ship
ment of these cattle as Texas cat
tie. They are classed as Texas
just the same as our one-half or
three-quarter bred animals that
we have been carefully grading
up for years, and result in pull
ing down the grade and classified
ton of our best stock to nearly
their own level, the buyers natur-
ally taking advantage of the situa-
ton to get our stock as cheap as
possible.
zone good thing about the
boom of a year ago has been that
the southwest has been pretty
we'll cleaned out of stock of this
character which has been shipped
to the territory, and the history
of cattle in the territory during
the past season is a pretty good
evidence to those who had the
misfortune to handle the low

when money can be made out OF
anything but a we'll graded ami
