STOCK NOTES

Facts and Figures
President Springers address at the
National Stock Association was filled
with wisdom and information Among
other items we find these
The American hog numbers into
the millions and the demand grows
ever apace We are slaughtering
nearly 4000000 tons of pork every
year in the United htates more than
the balance of the world put together
and the consumption is rapidly increas
ing the exportation extending the
world
In 1899 the sheep of the United
States furnished about 270000000
pounds of wool from less than 37000
000 sheep against 50000000 sheep in
1884 The consumption of mutton and
lambs has incaeased beyond the expec
tation of even the most enthusiastic
sheep breeder until now nearly 500
000 tons are consumed
Less than ten years ago your range
horses were selling at from 5 to 25
on the market Today they bring
from 20 to 50 while your high class
saddle and coach horses are selling at
their highest figure even to 1000
each Less than ten years ago your
cattle down here in Teas were sold at
8 for a cow with a calf thrown in
while today the cow is worth from 15
up ana me can at lease ten more
We find the United States Credited
with nearly 55000000 head and a beef
production of nearly 4UUO000 tons per
annum Look at the results at our
great markets this past year beef sel
ling on the hoof as high as 850 per
hundred live weight TMsof course
was given for the highest quality pro
duced only by thoroughbred bulls
However the average urice of all beef
at the markets has been so satisfactory
that I have yet to hear of a single com
plaint from any beef producer
A iirm in Texas has purchased 4000
ounces of styrychnine besides a large
amount of cyanide of potassium and
other poisons and will begin a war on
prairie dogs The range countries in
general are engaged in an effort to ex
terminate this little pest
Cattle in Cherry county are
going
through the winter in splendid shape
but few losses being reported Calves
are being dropped right along now
and unlike last season the percentage
of deaths is very small among the little
ones As our ranchmen continue to
adopt better methods this percentage
will be still farther reduced
Quite apart from the enhanced mar
ket value pure bred stock has another
value which is not always estimated at J
its true worth the value of its influ
ence upon the intellectual life of the
family One only needs to go into the
familv home on the farm where pure
bred cattle horses sheep or swine are
reared to be convinced of the reality
and the beneficence of this influence
National Rural
The Iowa Homestead says that
In conversation With a man who
ships stock I found that it pays to pat
ronize markets as near home as possi
ble The week before he had shipped
two car loads of hogs one to Chicago
and the other to a market half that dis
tance On the shipment td Chicago
the car just paid for the outlay On
the other he cleared forty dollars The
shipper is a man of veracity and I have
not the least doubt of the truthfulness
of the statement
A special from Hot Springs saj s the
sheepmen of the northern part of the
Elack LTills have organized another as
sociation with headquarters at Belle
Fourche It includes sheepmen of
western South Dakota northeastern
Wyoming and southern Montana
Preliminary steps were taken -at the
meeting toward erecting a wool ware
house at Belle Fourche winch question
will be fully determined at their next
meeting on Feb 20 It is estimated
that 200000 pounds pf wool will be
marketed at Belle Fourche this year
and the sheepmen do not wish to ship
direct from the cars as heretofore pre
ferring to store in a warehouse and be
enabled to await a favorable market
Another sheepmens organization- was
effected atEdgemont in December but
this last organization takes in a differ
ent territory

VALENTINE NEBRASKA FEBRUARY 8 1900
The receipts of horses at Chicago last
week were the largest reported for the
same period for several years being
2562 A large number of buyers -were
on hand and there was a good demand
for drafts on German export account
Export chunks sold for 75 to 115
farm chunks G0 to 90 medium driv
ers S75 to 150 fancy drivers 150 to
400 a few pairs at 550 to 700 sad
dlers 65 to 200 Feed Western
range horses were on hand Poor to
fair brought 10to 25 good to extra
choice 30 to 75
If there is any truth in market
signs good bulls are cheaper now than
they Avill be after a little while and
hence any one who feels that he is go
ing to need a bull in the not distant fu
ture would in our judgment serve his
own interests best by buying just as
soon as he can find an animal that suits
him We feel morally certain that as
the season advances good bulls vill
bring better prices than they are now
commanding and our suggestion is that
all who are in need of bulls should
make the purchase at as early date as
possible
The desire that every western sheep
man has to retain his flocks at home
and sell only the wool will sooner or
later result in a heavy accumulation of
L sheep which sometime must be mar
keted For a year or two this plan
may work but sis soon as the ranges
become overstocked or the price of wool
should be cut in to or if a drought
should come there would be a deluge
of sheep at market points that would
paralyze the business Of course it is
not at all likely that these calamities
will all come at once but it is certain
that the process of accumulation is go
inr on and some dav will result in
overstocked markets Chicagobrovers
Journal
Since the subject of leaving the arid
ands of the west has assumed such im
portance we have written Represents
live Neville for copies of all bills on
this subject and as soon as they arrive
we will publish a synopsis of eachbill
for 6ur readers benefit We under
stand Ihafc one of the bills introduced
provides for leasing 20 acres to a man
for every acre he owns In other words
if a man owns one quarter section he
will be permitted to lease twenty quar
ters provided ha does not encroach up
on another mans domain The whole
thing is a complicated question and
while it is not probable that any bill of
this nature will be passed it behooves
us to keep our eyes open for schemes
and tricks
