Of CATTLE
LEADS To CARE
FOR LIVESTOCK


ESPECIAL coRsssroHprHes 10 MORNING iousnAn
Roswell ~ NJ, Feb. l3.-Years ago |
when cattle were worth less than az /
the present time, one could go out 1
on the ranges, and the sight Of dead |
stock lying around. the coyotes and |
the hawks feeding upon the careasses, |
created no surprise. Today, should |
the same thing happen, someone Is |
branded as poor business man. !
Never before in the history of the east |
part OF New Mexico were cattle IN |
such good condition as at the present |
time. Never before were there such !
handsome prospects for heavy calf |
crop, and percentages for the saving /
of that crop.
And all this has been brought about !
by the steady advance in the cattle !
market. The fact that a COW can
hardly be bought now for less than
$50 and often times much more, has
made the stockman who formerly did
not think of the loss of an animal as
amounting 10 much, get wise imme-
tiately. Two years ago there was not
more than a couple of cars Of cotton
meal cake shipped into eastern New
Mexico. This year, Just into Roswell
alone fifteen cars of cotton meal
cake has been bought and shipped in,
all of which was used by the cattle
men of this section.
The cattleman figures that $50
worth of cake win carry an animal
through the winter season and will
bring her into spring IN a fine con-
dition, making her constitution strong
which speaks so much for the calf
when born
Some ~ the large cattlemen out
this way have tried the silo, but prefer
to ship in cake and feed rather than
to fool with the modern method of
sio feeding.

Charles wilbur has sold his ranch
which he bought last summer from
Dink Arthur to Charles Billiard. This
ranch is on the Felix river some sixty
miles southwest Of the city.
