RANCHiNG IN TEXAS.
Great Improvements In Blood and
 Methods-Care of Feeding.

Great Improvements In Blood and
 Methods-Care of Feeding.
 The old Texas way was to turn steer out with a brand you could see as far as you could see the animal, let him run until from to G years old, often 10, herded or rounded up once or twice a year by the jolly cowboy. AS time ran on, says F. s. Hammonds In Farm and Ranch. they improved by inclosing large tracts of land. Within these inclosures the old long horned. long shanked racer could roam at will, almost entirely without restraint. But Texas cattlemen began to see that the better bred stock of the northern states commanded far better prices on the market. As a result, better blood WAS introduced, in consequence of which the time Is fast coming when a pair of long horns will draw a prize, but as A curiosity.
 But let us not stop here. Texas ranch cattle, as a rule, are yet inferior to those of the northern states owing to the lack of attention, feeding, etc. Some think. to start a ranch, anything will do, intending, of course, to grade up and allowing them to shift for them selves, losing sight of the fact thas to start with a good grade Is a great sav- ing and that feed and good care gen. orally are the principal essentials that have brought the beef herds to such . high standard of excellence.
 The old idea that cattle in Texas need no feed, or, rather, that 1t does not pay to feed them. happily is fast being dispelled.
 But successful ranching condensed is this: Stock up with a fair to good grade. Feed should be provided in sui fcient quantity to keep all stock in healthful growing condition. To illustrate, If the northern farmer can successfully handle stock where he must feed from five to six months of the year, how much more so can we here in Texas, where we are compelled to feed only one or two months in s year.
 Upon a western ranch in 1898 the manager lost poor cows and young calves by the score, while his neighbor ranchers, who raised two and three lOuS Ol ittu lO lue dCit, huu SSdiSSly any loss at all. The successful man in the north, where the winters are long | and severe, never has poor stock. The | careful rancher, though he may have a | herd of several hundred. where he can raise feed, can, by looking after the weaker ones, keep them in good condi- ton. Then by salting frequently and circulating among them he can keep them tame and thus secure the best de- yplonmpnt

aHEFk6ELD.

Last Monday morning between the hours of four and five the entire village was awakened by the cry of fire and the large tobacco barn owned by J. M. Ben- lamin was discovered to be in flames. The hose company responded quickly and the boys worked heroically but it was impossible to save the building. By great efforts the henneries and E. J Wickwire's barn were saved. Luckily there was little wind, had strong breeze been blowing at the time the three buildings in the vicinity could not have escaped. The barn was se- curely locked the night before and it is mystery how tue fire originated. The barn was completely burned, to- gether with over 200 bushels of onions which were stored there. It is under. stood that the building was we'll in sured.
 Nearly 100 people were in attendance and were furnished supper at the socia. ble given by the ladies of the NJ. E. church last Friday evening at the hom, of Edward D. Andrus, the receipts be- ing little over S23

The steer,s Sensitive Side.

For a long time the tanners who ham, dled the hides of western steers were puzzled by the fact that one side of the hide was usually perceptibly thicker and heavier than the other. A thought ful cowboy who was visiting an east ern tannery was told of the fact and accounted for 1t In the following way: Every steer Is branded on one of its Hanks with It's owners particular de- vice. The branding produces painful burn, and it is several days before the hide entirely heals. While the burn Is healing the steer naturally takes all possible precautions to favor the sore siue and therefore lies down with the branded flank uppermost. A few days suffice to form the habit of lying only on the unbranded side. This, of course, protects one side from the biting winds of winter and at the same time inter- feres more or less with the circulation of the blood and the normal develop ment of the tissue.
 The other side, on the contrary, ex- posed to every wind and with perfect circulation, becomes thick. tough and healthy. This may or may not be the right explanation of a we'll known fact, but it seems to be quite within the bounds of probability

Rape For Sheep.

Experience has shown so far that crop of rape Is indispensable as wind up of the season of green feeding. It supplies every needed element for the finishing of the summer feeding of the flock and preparation for the dry feed ing of the winter, and indeed through the winter, wherever the drifting snow will not cover 1t too deeply for the sheep to get at 1t by paving off the snow. We must not think that this Is too great a hardship. The English shepherds feed it, as well as turnlps, through the winter, and we have seen the finest of the fiocks in England wading knee deep in the mud to bite out the turnips to the shell or to nip off the still green rape. Rape Is essen- tially turnip without a bulb root. It Is the principal member of the turnip tribe of plants, which are called rapa by the botanists, in accordance with the rules of botany. Thus the rape plant Is the head of the cabbage and turnip family and supplies precisely the same invaluable and indispensable clements of nutrition for the bone, flesh and fleece of the sheep.-Sheep Breeder
