To Fight Low Prices.

A. +. De Ricqles in the Breed
er's Gazette, writes that, "there
is hardly any place for the poorly
bred steer today. The danger is
that during the periods of de-
preston in cattle prices stock
men become discouraged, and by
permitting their herds to run
down in quality hasten their own
downfall. Do not forget that, no
matter whether your herd COLI
sists of a dozen head or ten thous-
and you will find the man who
raises registered bulls still in the
business next year just as he has
been during the boom times. If
he talks fancy prices for his pro-
ducts show him your account
sales and he will meet you fairly
but even if you have to sell the
parlor organ, do not buy scrub
bull. So / think there are three
pretty good methods to fight low
prices. Dehorn your cattle, dip
them, breed them right"

the following expression from n
leading ranchman: 81 believe in
the wisdom Of holding back our
steers for another year, and am
assuming that bankers generally
who are holding cattle paper take
the same view of the situation.
Water is generally plentiful over
the range country, and grass is
fairly good. l believe that almost,
If not quite, 90 per cent of the
steers on the Western range today
are under two years old, and
while we are holding them they
are increasing in value all the
time. | have noticed that the
winter loss on steers is always
very small, and believe so cents
per head is reasonable estimate
to place on the cost of holding
them over until spring.
"As a three, tine average steer
will be worth 81 or 50 more than
as a two, and even if the market
next year should show no material
improvement over the present,
it's a sure proposition that n three
year old steer will sell for more
money than a two this year, and
no doubt be in greater demand.
This is why it seems to me that it
is the height of wisdom to hold
back the steers.

are now forced upon the market

over stocked ranges, will be sell.

the southern Texas country last
year sent about 100000 head of
cattle to market. Cattle down
there became fat and in good
marketable condition and the
consequence was that everybody
shipped their cattle to market, as
prices we're pretty good, and that
country was pretty thoroughly
cleaned out.

southern Texas fellows won't have
so many cattle to go to market

old steers will be selling here in
