ing of the lamb market this fall, says:
There will be no New Mexico lambs
sold by weight this fall. You cannot
induce the New Mexican to ship to Den
yer or any other market, to sell his
stock. Then, if the Spectator would
take hold, he can only buy by the head,
for the New Mexican will not sell any
other way, nor will he sell at a less
price than last year. 1t may be possible
to drive a hard bargain and get them
a little-very little-less, but there
would be no money in the deal at all,
besides there would be the shrink we
could never recover.
Il am not prepared to say what condi-
ton the lamb market is going to be in
this fall. The feed-in-transit rate is a
great drawback; a very great impedi-
ment to the business. The majority of
our Fort Collins friends lost money last
winter, because of the long, bad winter,
the stock using up so much more than
usual of alfalfa and high-priced corn.
Even if corn is cheaper this year, that
will not affect the extra freight charges
they will be compelled to pay under the
abrogation of the feed-in-transit rate.
1T is business with the New Mexican
breeders this year to ask as much as
last yea for his lambs. The fleece is
assuredly a valuable part of the animal
now, and he will be just as well salts
fled to keep his stock until shearing
| time next spring if he cannot get the
price he asks for the animal this fall.
'The feeder can afford to pay that
price, provided the feed-in-transit rate
is restored. 1t would, therefore, appear
to be very necessary for all individuals
interested to make a personal demand
on the Transmissouri traffic associa-
ton, which meets in Denver OF the
21st, l understand, to have the rate re
stored. denver Stockman.
Monaghan Pheasants.
The pheasants On Judge Blacker':
place in the Sacramentos, which were
imported this year from Washington by
Attorney w. A. Hawkins, of the White
Oaks road, have Jared nicely, and are
breeding quite well, having brought
forth several broods. Mr.. Hawkins has
determined to place another hundred
birds on Judge Blacker's place mex
season. Senator Turney has also be-
come interested in pheasant propaga'
ton, and has about a dozen birds on hi!
ranch in Brewster county. Citizens o
Alpine have liberated about 100 of tn.
birds in Brewster county, which count!
is said to be well suited to their propa
gation.-El Paso Graphic.
