The Texas Range Area.

The range area of Texas has been
greatly reduced during the present
year Oh account of the state school
lands coming upon the market, lands
which have heretofore been held under
the lease laws for grazing purposes
only, says a Country Gentleman CORE
Bpondent. It is another instance of the
invasion Of the western prairies by the
man with the hoe. The big pastures
are being bought up by farmers, and
gradually the pillow is turning the vir-
gin sod for the production Of cotton,
corn, wheat and forage crops, with cot
ton far in the lead. Indeed, as a gen
tleman from Big Springs remarked the
other day: while the older portions
of the state are wrestling with the
problem of diversified farming, King
Cotton is moving west and is laying
heavy tribute upon the range cattle
industry Of the state Driven from his
old habitat by diversifcation and the
Mexican boil weevil, he is rapidly es-
tablishing out here a new empire, cary
ed out Of the Texas range and appar-
emily not on shifting sands

STEER FEEDING.

Some General Points and the Ken
tuclSy Outlook In Particular.
In feeding cattle the usual practice is
to take the animal from grass at about
eighteen months of age and to feed
heavily on concentrated rations during
several months. During this period the
framework of the animal is rounded
out and fat deposited among the organs
and tissues of the body. The tendency
for several years has been toward the
fattening of younger animals. The
four-year-old steer is thing of the
past, while the three-year-old steer is
rare. In some sections, especially
where the feeding period is long By
reason of the hard winters, some cattle
are marketed as long yearlings, having
baan fed continuously and sold az
"haby beef"
The source Of feeding cattle is with
the general farmer and western ranch
man. The western cattle that were for
merly marketed from grass are being
shipped more and more into the corn

County Ditch and Drain hereinafter de
scribed would respectfully represent that
the public health, convenience and welfare
of County Ditch and Drain along the fol-
lowing described route in the town Albin

struction of the same would be Of public
benefit and utility, and is necessary for the
following reasons, to-wit: To drain a large
area of low lands lying along the course of

A general description of the proposed
starting point, route and terminus of said
County Ditch and Drain is as follows:
Commencing at a point at or near the
northwest corner OF SECTION Number Twenty
eight {2s), Township Number One Hundred
and Eight Q0s). Range Number Thirty two
(32) in said County of Brown. at the center Of
a natural drain, water course and water run
passing said point through which water runs
easter1y in wet seasons, thence running east
erly in varying line through Sections Num-
bered Twenty-one CD, Twenty-eight C28l,
three (z3), Twenty-six (se) and Twenty five
(25), following through all of said sections
the center and course of said natural water
course running north through Section Num-
bel, Twenty-Five (25) and adjoining said creek
and water course last named on the North
west quarter of said section Number TWEEN
ty-five (25) and having said last named creek

And your petitioners pray that you will
proceed to establish such County Ditch and
Drain and cause the same to be constructed

nesota for 1901, and subsequent amendments
thereto.

belt for finishing period. The ranch
men have by the use Of good bulls
made wonderful change in the char
acter of western cattle. 1t is now posi-
BILE to buy at the principal cattle mar
kets range cattle almost pure bred and
of great uniformity Of type. The farm
ers of the corn growing sections must
meet the competition of the ranches by
growing better class of steers, and to
do this they must breed with a def
mite object in view, avoiding the cross
ing of beef and dairy cattle.
With cheap corn our methods of
feeding have been comparatively waste
full. In the rise of the price of land
and of the crops grown thereon meth
DDS of feeding must be improved. Not
only must the more common feeds be
fully utilized, but the feeder must be
on the lookout for supplementary feeds
from oil mills, factories, etc, in order
to reap the more profit. Formerly the
principal grain feed in most sections
where cattle were fattened was ear
corn, it being shoyeled out to them to
their full capacity to consume it.
The cattle feeding industry is now
becoming more varied in the methods
employed in different sections. In the
semiarid regions of the west they are
using alfalfa and Kaffir corn and in the
neighborhood of sugar factories sugar
beet residues; in the corn belt corn and
corn slower and variety of supple
mentary feeds as gluten meal, oil meal,
etc; near the cotton states corn and
cottonseed meal in varying proportions
form the principal grain feeds, with
corn stoyer and clover hay for rough
ness In Kentucky blue grass forms a
large part of the roughness, especially
In the central portion of the state, and
a great many cattle are fed in the
neighbOrhOod of the distilleries Oh sloD,
using wheat straw and cottonseed hulls
for roughness.
The fact seems warranted that in
Kentucky, with residue of blue grass
corn fodder and hay, with some grain
and reasonable price for certain by
products, it may be profitable to feed
cattle. On the other hand, to buy the
cattle and then to buy the feeds makes
1t doubtful proposition. The factors
that may be against profitable cattle
feeding under these circumstances are
the local high prices of feeds, the lack
Of uniformity in the feeding cattle and
the distance from the best markets.
