RANCH TALK.

WIS ~ ulkiOlE
cattlemen on Sunday when the federal
inspector at Dickinson would not accept
a car OF cattle as clean, offered for ship
ment at the Eland s%tockyards. The
cattle had been dipped once. The owner
will now have to make two clippings in
order to get a clean bill of health for the
shipment OF his stock.
Ranchers should read carefully sections
2 and 3 of the regulations sent out from
Washington. The PRESS has already
published Secretary Wilson's orders re-
garding the shipment of cattle from
this locality and again gives the all i'm
portant sections, which read:
Sec. 2. That fat cattle designed for
slaughter originating in an infected sec
ton may be shipped to market cen
tiers or stock yards where this Depart
ment maintains inspection, without dip
ping o. p%lacarding cars, provided they
have first been inspected by an officer
of the Bureau Of Animal Industry and
found free from all evidence of scabies;
il it is decided afterwards to reship such
cattle for feeding purposes or for export
they must be dipped according to the
regulations of this Department before
leaving such stock yards.
Sec. 3. That all cattle that are to be
shipped from an injected locality into
another State or Territory for stocking
or feeding purposes must be inspected
and dipped twice If showing disease,
and be dipped once if not showing
disease, on account Of exposure to con
tagion.
If cattlemen will comply strictly with
the above instructions they will have no
trouble. After Nov. 3oit will be impossi-
BILE to ship even beef cattle for immedi-
ate slaughter without first dipping.
1t is believed that North Dakota will
be the cleanest state in the Union in two
years. Both the state and federal Off
GERS are following up the matter closely
and will see that the scab is eradicated
in all quarters.
d. w. Ryder has been here the past
week to get a car Of horses.
Geo. McClellen returned Tuesday from
the Chicago market and seemed pretty
we'll satisfied with his sales of the week
before. Mr.. Sutherland went out to visi,
his relatives before returning.
For sale-4oo Texas Hereford cows
and calves, 3 and 4 years old, single

DR.. F. w. Weston of Kansas City, Mo.
is the U. S. inspector stationed at Dick
inson for the stock season. A secont
federal inspector was to have been her
this week. They will make it thei
business to be on hand whenever Their,
are any cattle being loaded at the Dickin
son stock yards or at any of the point
tributary to the city along the N. p. cas-
or west. Mandan, Bismarck and Glen
dive are supposed to have federal in
spectors, so that it would seem as thong
there should be no delay at ny poin
for the want of inspection at the time G
loading cattle. The inspectors are nc
expected to 60 into the country for ir
spection, but they must be on hand
inspect the herds as they come into tn
railroad pens.
