Southern Farmers Advised Against Selling of Their
 Cows.

The attention of bureau em- ployees in the South, especially those engaged in tick eradica- ton, is invited to the following article which has been issued by the department to the newspa- pers. It is desired that the in- formation and advice contained in this statement be disseminat- ed as widely as possible among southern farmers. Copies in separate form have been or will be sent to inspectors in charge in the South for distribution, and extra copies may be obtain ed on application to the bureau. Copies should be given to the local newspapers, in case these papers have not already receiv- ed the article from Washington. Bureau employees should take occasion in the course of their work to impress upon the south ern farmers the importance of keeping their cows.
 During the past 12 months cattle buyers have been active in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala bama, Georgia and Florida pur- chasing cattle to be shipped to the middle western markets as either canners or stockers. The price paid for canners during this period have been so high that thousands of cows and heif- CTS have gone to the shambles which should have been retain ed on the farms for breeding purposes. This is especially mo- ticeable when the receipts of southern cattle at the St. Louis market for the last 12 months are compared with those for any previous period of similar length. The receipts of Ala bama, Mississippi and Louisiana cattle at that market have al- most doubled during this period.
 Since the 1st of February buyers from the farms and ranches of the West have been securing the Gulf States in the search of breeding stock. A few years ago, this class of cat tie would have been scorned by the western ranchman as breed ing stock, but with the shorage of cows for breeding purposes the ranchers are glad to get these cheap cows, to which they will breed good beef bulls. The half-breeds resulting from this mating make fairly desirable beef animals.
 Several thousand cattle have already been sent from these States to Texas, Oklahoma. and Kansas, and some of them are said to have been shipped as far as Montana.
 Recently there were perhaps more cattle unloaded at one time in Birmingham, Ala, for feed, water, and rest while en route to the western ranges than have ever been seen in that place before in one day. Geor- gia and Florida are sending out thousands of these native south ern cattle at the present time at prices arnging from $15 to $2S a head for mature animals. A shipment of 40 carloads of cattle was recently made from Osceola County, Fla. in one day. They were shipped to Kansas via Ok lahoma City. The cattle were dipped in arsenical solution be- fore loading to free them of ticks, and were to be dipped again on arrival at Oklahoma City before going above the Federal quarantine line.
 Some people of the South seem glad that these cattle are
