The prices paid for Christmas beeves
this season were phenomenal. Some
scales we're made at Chicago at Sc. %
per hundred, and $3.50 and upward
were quite common. The fact is, there
never were as many extra-good beeves
offered, and quality always tells.
Prices remain good for all sorts from
choice stall fed down to Gamers, and
prices range from $3.50 down to 50 90.

Frank Weaver, the chief "besr"
among the Fort Worth cattlemen, ia

Mr.. Weaver is joined in this opinion
by Burk Burnett and several others,
while w. T. Scott, w. D. johnson,
John Scharbauer and many other
equally successful cattlemen are just as
strong in the belief that last years
prices will Ebe NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and

In the region about Fort Collins,
Colorado, there are now on feed 1885,.
600 lambs or in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 more than last year. Jessie
Harris of Fort Collins, in an interview
published in the Chicago Drovers'
Journal some days ago, said that
lambs had never done better than they
are at present. That a few would be
ready by the middle of this month but
that the bulk will go to market in
March and April. He stated that
alfalfa with corn makes fine cOmbi-
nation for feed and can be used more
freely and safely than with most any
other feed. He said that lambs can
take more corn with alfalfa than with
other kinds of hay. Barley, he says,
is about as good, and can be grown
wherever alfalfa can be grown success
fully. The Pecos Valley country in
