Ranch Talk

J. +. Phelan recently shipped IN a
trainload of Texas cattle-5oo cows and
and 500 calves-which he has put out
with farmers in this county.
Frank Ekland of Belheld shipped cat
tie to market in September and, while
he did not ship the steers that bring the
big money this year, he got enough to
straighten his accounts up in good shape,
and another season he will have a better
shipment. Mr.. E. finds that there is not
much money in dogie cattle unless
bought very cheap. Good 3-year-old
natives bring the money.
If the receipts of cattle on the Chicago
market keep up, there is no reason to
expect better prices. Last month some
of the cattle men seemed to think that
the big runs would be over before this
time, but from all reports at hand, it is
very certain that there are a great many
range cattle yet to be marketed this fall.
In a recent shipment made by E. G.
Bishop was a COW, the property of Mrs.
Morris, which netted so2.5I in Chicago.
