STOCK NOTES

The stockmen of southwestern Tex
as are elated owe the rain which fell
there a few days ago.
Hal Kerr of Cambray was in Las
Cruces last week. He is talking of
moving his cattle up the river near FIT.
Selden.
The demand for feeders in Kansas
and Missouri is brisk, owing to the
mild weather that has prevailed during
the season.
c. r. Randall. of Manzanola. Colo,
shipped from San Marcial 2,100 lambs
purchased of Ramon Montoya. The
top price was paid, about $1.75 per
head.
J. C.. Gatti, of Clifton, Arizona, is
rated as n of the heaviest buyers of
beef cattle operating in southern Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. He confines his
attention to range beef.
Governor Murphy has offered a re-
ward of $3.50 for the apprehension of
the Bill Smith gang, who murdered
Deputy Sheriff William Maxwell, of
Apache county, and Carlos Tafoya, a
member of the Arizona rangers, on the
Sth day of last October.
Lyman M. Parke, of Detroit, Mich,
has bought from Frank Springer and
A. Schneidelholz the Glenmora ranch
in the Cherry valley, taking about one
half of Cherry lake in San Miguel
county. The ranch contains $4,000
acres. Mr.. Parke will stock the ranch
with cattle and will make it his home.
D.. Webster, uncle to George H., is at
Carlsbad. from his extensive cattle
ranch in South Dakota. He hooked at
the Benson steers and is the first buyer
to strike Carlsbad. He wants 500 SIS,
and is paying top figures. He is in the
live stock commission business and
says that all kinds of stuff will be in
demand the coming spring and at ad-
vanced prices.
A herd of 5000 sheep, owned by
Long & Quinn, were stopped and in
spected at the Texas state line by In
spector N. H.. Allen, and the. usual fees
assessed against the owners. The lat
ter could not see the justice of the
inspection charges, and refused to pay,
appealing to the territorial sheep sani-
tary board. In the meantime, Inspec-
tor Allen will retain the herd in quar-
antine until the controversy is set
tied.
A herd of sheep owned by Mrs.
Brutinell, and in charge of her son,
was stopped at the Texas state line,
last week, by Inspector Allen, and are
to be held in quarantine until the in
spector at Pecos can act in the matter.
Inspector Allen happened to be in the
n~eighborhood when the herd was be
ing driven from Eddy county into
Texas, and noticing that many of the
sheep were in an unhealthy condition,
took the above course of action-which
was a very right one.
There is but one thing that keeps
me out of the republic of Mexico" re-
marked a well known cattleman re,
Gently to the Colorado Stockman, "and
thai is the fear that Diaz will not live
many years longer. Mexico offers the
greatest opportunities for the cattle
business today of any country on earth,
but when the iron hand of Porfirio
Diaz relaxes it's grasp, that country is
going to be the scene of one of the
bloodiest revolutions of modern times,
and | don't believe that / care to fur
nish free. beef to the opposing fac
tions. In less than twenty-five years
Mexico will belong to the United
States, but there is going to be a whole
lot of trouble down there before that
event is accomplished"
One of England's foremost farmers
is a woman, the Hon. Mrs. Murray
Smith. On her estate, Quincy hall, in
Leicestershire, she raises some of the
finest Jersey cattle. She is an early
riser and is up and about her men as
soon as the sun is in sight. She at
tends to all the details of the manage
ment of her estate. All the improve
ments which can contribute to the well
being of the animals are made at her
discretion. She. sees that they have the
,est of food and the most comfortable
uarters. AS the result they have taken
lany prizes. One COW, Lorena. which
arried off the milking prize at Triug
nd the butter certificate at Bath and
Test of England show, gives 900 gal
ms of milk yearly.
