Outlook for Sheep Business

The Shepherds Criterion says that
if the sheepmen of America can have
as prosperous a year in 1906 as they
had in 1905 they should be satisfied.
In spite of the fact that receipts at
Chicago broke all previous records and
that over 100000 head were market
ed at the five principal markets OF
this country prices were from 81 to
So per hundred higher than the prev
ious year There is hope at least that
prices will maintain last years level
for surely the demand is as good and
the supply in the country not nearly
so large The people generally are
in a prosperous condition and more
are able to buy meat than formerly.
The secret of the remarkable demand
for mutton all of last year was due
in no small measure to the better in
dustrial conditions. A continuance. OF
this condition, without material adj
vance in the price of meat, will in
sure a healthy market for the COM
ing year. There is practically no dan
ger that wool will decline. Stocks OF
wool in hands of manufacturers are
small and the demand for it never was
broader. This is strongly evidenced
by the strenuous efforts that the wool
men are making to contract the spring
clip in advance. Surely the outlook is
rosy and the signs indicate another
year of prosperity.

Feed When Animals Are Young.

There is no time when weight may
be added to animals so cheaply as
when they are young. Experiments
have shown that lamb may average
gain of pound in weight for each
six pounds of milk which it takes. In
this case, each pound of solids in the
food would produce more than pound
of gain in the young animals. With
older animals six to ten pounds OF
solids would be required for each
calves. Hence the Importance of the
pound of gain. The same is true of
farmer having the benefit of the
growth of the animal during the earl
lest period of it's life. Buying feeders
at one or two years of age, one loses
the profit of this early, rapid and
economical growth, and takes the risk
of their growth having been arrested
by periods of privation. However, it
is better to buy feeders than not to
feed; and under the conditions obtain
ing on many farms, it will be more
profitable to buy feeders than to raise
them.

STOCK
Greatest Meat Surplus Here.

No other country produces so great
a surplus of meat as the United States.
During the year ending June 30, 1904.
the exports of live meat animals and
packing house products were valued at
S217 .0OO, 900. No other country, ex-
cept nearby Ireland, sends so many
cattle to the English market. The ex-
ports of United States cattle to Brit
ish ports during 1904 amounted to
3S7 900 head, valued at $36,000,000, and
along with them were exported 223,OOO
sheep, worth nearly $2,000,000.
Belgium has become an important
destination for United States cattle,
and more than $4,000 were exported
there during 1904. The cattle ship
ments to Cuba, which prior to 1898 sell
dom reached ten head year, amount
ed in 1904 to 5000 head, valued at
100000.
Beef is exported from the United
States chiefly in the form of fresh
meat, and this is nearly all sent to
British markets. This trade has in
creased while the exports of other
kinds of beef have become less during
the Is years, 189O-1904. The United
States exported to the United King
dom III 100000 pounds of fresh beef
in 1890 and 29S, 100000 pounds in 1904.
The exports of bacon have declined
since 1890. In that year 450,O00,00O
pounds were shipped to the United
Kingdom, 37,000,O00 to Belgium, and
10000 900 to the Netherlands; while
in 1904 the quantity exported to the
United Kingdom was only 1917, 100000
pounds, to Belgium 100000, and to
the Netherlands 100000 pounds.
On the other hand, the exports of
hams increased. In 1890 there were
exported 65,O00,000 pounds to the Unit
ed Kingdom, and in 1904 the amount
was 17O,00O,000 pounds. With some
countries, however, there has been a
recent decline. Shipments of hams to
Germany increased from 1890 to 1893,
after which they declined greatly on
account of restrictive legislation.
Similarly, the exports of hams to
Belgium, which in 1898 reached 10000
900 pounds, suffered decline after
that year. Exports of sailed and
picked pork to the United Kingdom
increased greatly during 1S9O-19O4,
while exports to Germany increased
from 1890 to 1898 and declined from
1899 to 1904.

Sheep Scab and Cattle Mango.

According to the last annual report
of the bureau of animal industry OF

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
ANNOUNCEMENT


 hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Navajo County subject to the action of the Democratic County convention.
 CHARLES F. Moss.
 Charles F. Moss whose an. nouncement appears in this issue is so well and favorebly known throughout Navajo county that he needs no introduction to our citizens. He is seeking the nomi- nation for sheriff on the Demo- cratic ticket, and we believe he is fully qualified to fill the office. DMr. Moss Is a Mississippian by birth; when a young man moved with parents to the "Lone Star State" Texas. In 1885 he enter ed the employ of Captain Henry Warren and came to Holbrook in 1887. During the turbulent times of the eighties Charley was quiet respectable citizen, whose character was always above re- proach. In 1898 he was en- ployed as a guard by the Wells Fargo Express Co. and was a prominent character in suppress ing the tougher element which at that. .time roamed the country at large waiting for chance to hold up train or a citizen in order to relieve them of their money or valuables. He was a guard on the train which was held up at Grants, N. M, in 1898. and had it not been for the quick action of Charley and his associates which frustrated the scheme of the outlaws whose well-lald plan which had 1t not been frustrated might have resulted in the death of several people as well as the destruction of thousands of dol lars of railroad property.
 Mir. Moss served as deputy un- der Sheriff Secrist and was a credit to the office. He was a candidate for sheriff two years ago and made strong race: and should be entitled to some con. sideration.

his many daring feats of horsemanship.
Reardon was absolutely fearles and
took pride in mounting and subduing
horses that other men dared not at
tempt to handle. He would scour the
range to capture some outlaw broncho,
famous in the district, merely for the
satisfaction of putting saddle upon
the animal and riding it until it became
too exhausted to struggle more. He
was looked upon as the best and most
daring horseman in the country, but
along with his daredevil disregard for
danger in the saddle, he had a good
business head upon his shoulders and
managed to amass a small fortune
through his own efforts.
Five or six years ago the terrible
strain upon his internal organs caused
by his almost daily habit of mounting
a bucking broncho, resulted in a rup-
ture Of some of the chords supporting
the stomach, and Reardon s days Of
Craftsmanship came to an end. He was
taken to San Francisco and Salt Lake
in the hope that surgeon might be
found who could perform an operation
that would restore him to health, but
these journeys were in vain. Each man
of science who examined the sufferer
shook his head and said that the in
ternal injury was beyond the reach of
science. 1t is said that Reardon spent
$4,000 in this vain quest for health.
1t was the amount that he had been
able to gather together during the days
of his "broncho busting"

The Good Time club plays an import

candidate for admission are weighed
carefully before he is finally admitted,
and in this way membership has been
gathered that is a credit to the organi-
cation. The club gives weekly dances
and an occasional muscal or dramatic
entertainment. Its hall is always at the
service of good cause and is usually
used by visiting divines, who hold reli-

property valued at $4,000 which Porter
claimed as a legitimate inheritance.
1t seems that Porter, who was a truck
driver in Omaha when he met the Doug
lass, had elected to keep the property in
his wife's name, or to be more exact.
in the name of Mrs. Douglass, because
there was an outstanding judgment
against him. So far as the court records
showed, Porter had no interest in the
property in which his industry and man
agement had accumulated. It all be-

Decision for Douglass.
Douglass employed an attorney at Los

the courts decide that the estate left by
Mrs. Douglass rightly belongs to him.
