GREAT CATTLE RANCH
 IN CHIHUAHUA

The northwestern part of the state of Chihuahua tributary to the Rio Grande. Sierra Madre and Pacific rail- road, now running from Fl Paso and Juarez on the international boundary to Neuva Casas Grandes, a distance of 156 miles, is isolated from the rest Of the state, but is the section above all others where the best of grade of cattle and horses are raised. Only south of this particular section on the great Hearst ranch which is practical ly continuation of that section, are there equally as good cattle and horses raised.
 It is the cattle of this part of the state that are most sought after by beef buyers from the state. The R. G., s. M. and P. railroad has hauled out of there for the American markets 15,000 head during the past twelve months and it is estimated that 800 car loads more will be shipped out be- fore the first of the year.
 The reason why the Casas Grandes country is surpressing the rest of the state in good cattle and horses is that the raisers have shown far more pro gressiye spirit in breeding from the native cattle during the last few years. Durham and Hereford grades are the rule beginning at the New Mexico line and extending from the Wood Hagenbarth ranch, and the great ranches of A. B. Urmston, of the late Lord Beresford, Corralitos Land and Cattle company, and the string of Nor HIOn C0IOnIooi DTa65 and other other smaller smaller Mormon settle- mems southward to the Hearst ranch mentioned. R. J. D. Boyd, on the Car retas ranch, raises a splendid grade of Black Poled Angus.
 These ranchmen, including the Mormons. fenced their lands and be- gan breeding up from the native catt- tie. The thousands upon thousands of head of good stock on these fine ranges are the reward of their efforts.
 Also on these ranches can be seen superior grade of saddle and work horses or mules, showing that consid- erable attention has been given in this direction also
 The Mormoas ia the colonies men toned, some 2500 people. all have good cattle and horses. Only recent. | ly D. l.. Taylor & Sons of Coionia Juarez and others imported four black Percheron stailions weighing from 1900 to 2f0o pounds each and three magnificent French Coach stallfons for breeding purposes.
 The example Of the foreign stock raisers Is showing with the Mexicans. The la.ters' cattle are of better grade generally than the natives have in other parts of the state.
 , A notable instance of what is be 1 ing done in this section is the efforts iof G. E. Palmer of Kansas City and E. G. Kinoch of Chicago. who are starting in to raise fine stock on a ranch in Cave valley, where they pur- pose to breed good stock for the market They will raise draft horses, large mules and Rambouiilet and Shropshire sheep. They have 60 head of mares in nov and will put in 800 more weighing from 1900 to 1600 pounds each if they secure range enough.
 The Sierra Madre and Pacific Rail road company is extending the road southward from Nueva Casas Grandes and for 150 miles along the line is a magnificent cattle country. equally as good as any of that mentioned above
 With the continued improvement b5 breeding up which is being done more
