 He should be broad and straight
 across the back, with smooth, even
 hips. He should have we'll sprung
 ribs, heavily covered with flesh.
 Spring IS the natural season for cows to drop their calves, and the cows should be bred SO as tU drop their calves in the early spring, and then when the cows are turned to pasture in the spring, the calves are old enough to go with them and thus have advantages for mak
 ing rapid growth and require very little attention during the busy summer months. When the calves are few weeks old they should be castrated and the wound washed with some good germ killer, so 1t heals rapidly. In the fall the calves should be weaned and fed on good nutritious food. This should con sist of silage and roots. clover or alfalfa hay, oats and bran-equal parts-with daily allowance of some reliable stock food to aid digestion and promote quick growth. The age at which steers should be mar keted depends largely on the mar ket prices, but as a rule we'll fed steers sell best at II to 16 months old. If you do not wish to dispose of your product as beef then you must choose one of the dairy in- stead of beef breeds of cattle.

 ard, C. P. Mullen, Drace Jepsol and George Taylor left Tuesday evening for the Turkey Tracl ranges near Naco. The last three named are figuring with Mir. Packard for n bunch of something over { thousand head of steers and ar, making the trip to look at the cat tie.
 Arizona Blade: Theo. Nichola. Jr., Of the Valley Meat Market brought in d carload of beef steer. from Tempe last week. A month hence he will be able to get beef of the range again if we can get about one more shower to freshen up the grass. Range beef is better thar alfalfa beef.

 Arizona Gazette: w. H. Neel the well known cattleman of the Four Bar Cattle company, has brought suit in the district court at Tombstone against R. L. Koontz 10 prevent him from fencing in a reservoir site that the plaintiff had located in the Sulphur Springs valley in 1906, and had been using some time prior to that for the watering of his stock of other cat tlemen in that locality. Neel al- leges that he had entered his filing on the reservoir site at the land of flee in Phoenix according to the conditions as piescri ioed by law, and that Koontz now proposes to fence the reservoir and take up d homestead thereon. A temporary injunction has been issued by the conrt to prevent Koontz from talk ing possession of the forty acres in question until the merits of the case can be heard in court.
