Mexican Cattle.

Mexico Is rapidly improving as a
cattle raising country. The hacienda
dos. many of whom are very wealthy,
have been importing fine bulls from the
United States for several years. and
slowly. but surely. the long horned,
long legged. swift footed Spanish non
descript cattle are becoming plumper,
larger and more desirable every way.
1t has been thought that the natural
forage and mild climate of Mexico
were not favorable to the development
of good dairy or beef cattle; but this
idea has now disappeared and Mexi-
can cattle, like the Texas natives, are
being Developed into valuable types at
a rate that astonishes the happy go
lucky people of the land of POGO
tempo Texas Town and Ranch.

Those watching the cattle markets
closely at the principal points recently
viii notice the slump In prices for COM
mon and inferior grades says The Ma
tional Stockman. This can be account
ed for by the fact that an unusual
number Of thin grass cattle have been
put upon the markets. a kind that Is
never desirable and that is intrinsically
worth very little to the butcher. 1t
would be as unbusinesslike to put
green fruit or grain on sale as some
cattle that are now coming forward
and losses by shippers and producers
of this class of stock are not to be won
dered at.
The cause for the liberal marketing
of these grades is apparent. Dry
weather has made a short grass crop
In many sections of the country and
also gave rise to the idea that the corn
crop would be short Not Wishing to
be caught short Of pasture farmers
have rushed their cattle to market re-
gardless of consequences and the re
suit has been bitter disappointment
In prices. 1t is to be hoped that the
recent rains VIII have the effect of en-
couraging graziers to keep their stock
until 1t Is ready for the market

STAMINA IN SWINE.
Want Of Ruggednesa ana How II Is
Caused

Ruggedness or stamina In swine is
quality Of the first Importance, says
Professor Shaw Many other qualities
are good, but without this one all the
other good qualities that may be pos
sessed viii be so far neutralized. This
want of ruggedness ~ to some extent
present In all lines of stock. but it Is
probably present In greater degree In
swine than in other farm animals and
very probably because Of the more ar
tificial conditions 70 which swine are
subjected And it would seem TO be
present In greater degree in pure
breds than Ia grades, since In pure
breds these artificial conditions have
been present IN greater degree. Let
us look into some of the various forms
which this delicacy assumes and into
the cause OF the source with view of
suggesting a remedy. Those evidences
Of delieacy are manifest In the inabiIi-
ty of swine to stand up under forced
feeding. in the absence of breeding
qualities of the first order, In the many
ailments which swine are subject to
and in the large mortality when visited
with such scourges as hog cholera
This is caused by improper feeding
and the tendency to it is transmitted
under certain conditions. 1t is more
certain to appear In those classes of
swine which have small bones and
bones weak in their constituents. and
the cause of such weakness is usually
to be traced to improper selection and
to feeding corn diet too continuously.
There Is not enough ash in the corn to
maintain Il suiiiciency of bone As
soon as pig begins to break down in
limbs his value as feeder or as n
breeder is so far impaired Every
means should be taken. therefore. to
maintain pigs strong In vigor of limb.
1t Is possible to grow them so that
they will seldom thus break down. and
they should be so fed and selected that
such result will follow The absence
of good breeding qualities so often met
with in swine In the west is due to i'm
proper selection. injudicious breeding
and improper food. 1t has been Gus
tomary to select the smoothest in form
without sufficient regard to size or evil
dences Of bodily yIgor. Young sows
have been chosen for breeding In pref
erence to those fully matured. and in
too many instances, especially in the
case of pure breds. in-and-in breeding
has been too much practiced. The feed
has had In its entirety too large q per-
centage Of corn and too little Of food
elements Of heterogeneous character.
The penalty paid is severe. We see 1t
In the small size of the filters, In the
great mortality Of the young pigs and
In the large proportion of nonbreeding
among the sows

SHEEP EAT MUCH.
STUDIES IN FEEDING FROM

Sheep are naturally heavy feeders
and a healthy animal VIII consume
more feed 70 the hundred pounds of
live weight tian steers. If both are
fed TO their fun capacity, but at the
same time the sheep VIII gain far
more In weight In a given time. A
sheep that VIII eat 40 TO 50 per cent
more feed than steer viii gain from
co to 10 per cent more IN weight, says
e. P, Smith in The American Cultiya-
tor. Consequently we do not begrudge
the sheep their good appetites and
their remarkable capacity for storing
away food. Indeed, at this ratio we
would be willing for the sheep to In
crease its appetite If the gain was pro
portionately increased. There is no
animal on the farm that shows the
results Of poor or slack feeding more
than the sheep You win notice it both
In the fleece and in the conformation
of the body The loss Is thus two
fold. The fleece becomes poorer In
quality and less In quantity, and the
body of the animal becomes thin and
lank. The actual tllinness of a sheep
sometimes Is not very noticeable until
sheared, because of the heavy layers
of wool that seem to bulge out the
sides. The condition of the animal can
be determined. however If the hand
is run over the sides, tanks and back
Sheep have TO hustle more or less
in summer and fall pastures, and It is
a good thing that they do. Sheep that
have everything their own way are
much like chickens that arc never ex-
ercised. They become week, lazy and
fat, but not altogether healthy. A
little exposure might cause their death
We do not want sheep on the farms
that cannot hustle a little and hunt ont
food when the food OH the farm is low
Nevertheless. we cannot afford to let

ment that fails to provide ahead of
time for every season of the year, and
many farmer has been forced to sell
a good many of his sheep in the fall
or winter simply because he has not
saved sufficient food to winter them.
When food is scarce and high priced,
and sheep are low, 1t is a heavy loss
to either winter the sheep or to sell
them for a nominal sum. There is
rarely any good reason why a man
should find himself In such quandary.
1t takes but little calculation TO fig
ure out how much food is required for
a given number of sheep for a winter
or summer Sometimes the mistake
is made Of trying to carry a heavier
line of stock than the conditions justi-
fy. aud then the feed disappears so
rapidly that before one realizes it there
is not enough for half the flock 1t is
better to sell the sheep now and raise
just enough to consume all the food
that can be prepared and stored for
winter use than TO lei the 1ocks go
ahead trusting that later ron may be
able 10 dispose of them to advantage
and thereby run the risk of falling
short Of provisions for tile number that
could otherwise be easily and salts

STORY IN FIVE WORDS.
II Told OF One of the Most Terrible
Of ARnsacrea

II Told OF One Of the Most Terrible
of ARsEacres.
Probably the most startling piece of
news that was ever sent out into the
world was the announcement of the mas
saere OF General Custer and his COM
mand in 1876. The terrible news was so
unexpected that it came like bolt from
a clear sky. 1t brought feeling OF sick
ening horror to the heart Of every man
who read it or heard il on the street 1t
passed from lip to lip as it became known
in the west aud the east. There were
friends and relatives of the murdered
men in all pnrts of the nation, and the
gallant commander was himself nation
al hero. For two days the nation waited
breathlessly for Information regarding
the disaster additional to the brief gem
eral announcement of the calamity that
had been sent out as soon as the news
was known in Bismarck, n. D., which
was then the extreme northwestern Office
of the telegraph company. That FIRST
message was brief one; but. after all.
it told the whole story.
That message was bit Of wire talk"
sent from Bismarck TO Fargo on the
morning OF July 3. 1876 and II said. "All
the Clusters are killed" The message
was sent By j. NJ. Carnahnn. manager Of
the Western Union Office in Missoula,
and it was thus that the news was first
sent eastward. From Fargo it was re-
peated to ST. Paul. and st. Paul sent It.
Ia turn, 10 Chicago. and from there Il
was passed along to cities. towns and
hamlets. telling its brief but terrible
story terscly. but completely. There was
but single wire east from Bismarck in
those days. and government business had
the first call upon this. Consequently
Operator Cnrnahan had only time to
flash forward this brief message of gen
erai information before he was compelled
to begin the transmission of the official
report OF General Terry to the war de-
partnent. For q hours he sat at his
key clicking off this mass OF official cofre-
spondence. All this time the eastern pa
pers were clanoring for news. but il
could not be given TO them. 50 per-
sistent were these demands for news
that Mr.. Carnnhan obtained the permits
sion OF Colonel Smith. the member Of
Terry's staff who had brought Ia the otii-
ciai dispatches. to make up a short "spe-
cial's from the Information contained In
the reports az the officers. This special
was sent 10 the New York Herald and IL
believed to be the FIRST authentic news Of
the Big Horn massacre that was sent
out. aside from the official dispatches.

IMPROVING CATTLE.
What May BE Accomplished In 81
Exsw Yearm

Few Years.
One of the gratifying features of the
pure bred cattle sales this season Is
the Increasing large number Of those
engaged liz producing commercial cat
tie who appear as buyers OF pure bred
bulls, says The Live Stock Indicator.
We do not mean by this that they
show up as purchasers Of $500 sires.
This kind of cattle fall into the hands
of breeders who already have excellent
pure bred herds aud who seek to
carry the work Of improvement still
further forward Ia them The breed
ers Of common cattle are purchasing
pure bred bulls of what may be called
the useful kind from the beefmakcrs'
standpoint The bulls are good in
dividuals and without fault In their
pedigrees. and IN spite of the increased
demand Of the season for improved
breeding animals the owners Of com
mercial herds are buying their bulls
very reasonably. More of them should
do SO.
IL they do not keep cows enough to
warrant buying a good bull. two on
more neighbors who In the aggregate
do keep enough should join in the pur-
chase. If all oyer given section q
good pure bred ball were owned in
each 80 cows. the cattle of that section
would in very few years attain a
reputation that would make them de-
sired and at prices well toward the
