Steers Bring Fancy Prices.
1.-THE L. X. ranch for many years
successfully bred fine cattle, also
bought and developed young steers,
I have been informed that Henry
Harding who last year bought the
L. Y. 2-year old steers, sold them
last fall for $32 head. Lee Bivins,
who owns a part OF the Ia. X. ranch,
am informed, sold last February, a
lot OF 4-year old steers at $3S, which
at that time was considered very
high price for steers. He sold them
to NJ. +. Ferguson OF Kansas, Mr..
Ferguson, when receiving them, told
me that they we're in better condi-
ton off the grass than his tFergu-

Captain Burnett's Results.
Captain S. B. Burnett, who owns
the Dixon creek ranch, northeast of
Amarillo, on the Canadian river, ad-
Joining the l.. X. ranch, has for a
number of years taken his yearling
steers from his Figure Eight and
$685. ranch, in King county, Texas,
to his Dixon creek ranch and devel-
oped the said steers to his profit and
satisfaction, which proves what can
be done in the development of steers
lin that country,
"All kinds Of feed stuff, including
alfalfa, can be successfully grown be-
yond reasonable doubt in the ANA
rillo country. The altitude is above
malaria and the latitude is a ia
vorable one, giving cool nights the
year around, which makes II health
full for man and beast. They have
very pure and fine water and air in
the Amarillo country and very few
insects, all Of which goes to make it
a desirable stock farming and dairy
ing country.
What Families May Do.
zone Of the reasons that dairying
Is always desirable and profitable
industry for any country is that the
farmer whose riches consists in hav-
ing a large family OF children can
utilize his children's labor by having
them attend the dairy cows and feed
the skim milk to the hogs and poul-
try of mornings before going to
school and in the evenings after re-
turning from school, which means
the development of three OF the most
profitable industries in one-the
dairy, hog and poultry business. and
not only gives the farmers children
an education, but makes them prac-
tical in three industries as well as
teaches them something about prac-
teal business methods, making them
very creditable citizens for any coun-
try, and makes the entire family
prosperous and enables them to en-
JOY happy home, which Is the true
basis of the greatness of any country
Confidence In the Panhandle.
For three reasons have great
confidence in the development of the
dairy business in the Amarillo coun-
try, and in so doing develop new
and profitable industry over the en-
tire state Of Texas--yes, in the en-.
tire Southwest which in turn will
make II possible to develop the
greatest packing industry in the
Southwest that there is to be found
in the United States,
TOO much publicity cannot he
given to this business, in order thai
our citizens might familiarize chem
selves with the possibilities Of the
dairy business Of the Amarillo coun
try and in the entire Southwest.
