Live Stock Statistics
The customary report from the di
vision of statistics of the department of
agriculture showing the number of the
various kinds of domestic animals in
the United States on January 1 1900
has just been made public The report
is made up from returns received from
50000 correspondents all over the coun
try and they show that oji January 1st
there were on the farms of the United
States 13537524 horses 2860027
mules 16292360 milk cows 27610054
other cattle and 41883065 sheep No
estimate is made of the number of
swine in the country nor will any be
made the statistician preferring to wait
for the enumeration to be made at the
coming census According to the esti
mate made of the number of live stock
by the report there has been a decrease
since the 1st of January 1899 of 127
783 horses 48186 mules 384171 oth
er cattle and an increase of 302245
milk cows and 2768612 sheep
Why Not liaise Skunks
In Indiana there are now in opera
tion six skunk farms and according to
a dispatch in the Inter Ocean a new
one is to be established near Auburn
by the DeKalb Fur Co who are adver
tising tor 100 females From a pecun
iary standpoint the business is a profit
able one the pelt of a black skunk sel
ling at 200 and the striped kind at
150 up After once being established
the animals can be raised by the thous
ands with but little care and a small
outlay for feed The kittens are verv
docile and easily handled while the old
ones are susceptible of trauiing and af
ter becoming accustomed to a certain
range and master lose their disagree
able feature odor Why wouldnt it
be a good idea for some of our people to
establish a farm on the river hauling
slops from the town for food It is
worth a trial
The Outlook isGood
The present condition of the range
throughout the west and soutlnvest is
in fine shape The winter has been the
mildest on record and all stock on the
range ought to be doing well The
prospects are good for an early spring
with a good season in the ground all
ranges should be flue the coming sea
son All cattle where given sufficient
range will get fat Prospects are fa
vorable for a good lively cattle mar
ket during 1900 The business con
ditions of the country continue in a
flourishing condition which will create
a good home consumption for all meat
products With the two wars going on
one in the Philippines and the one in
South Africa they make an extra de
mand for canned and cured meats
therefore we may expect fair prices for
all we have to sell for some time to
come it A Allen of Oklahoma
A New Plan
Some of our young men are arrang
ing to put in their labor for the next
seven years
The arrangement is to engage with
a stockman to work for a term of seven
years and receive 15 per month the
first year 20 per month the second
year and a continual advance of 5 per
month each year until the expiration of
the seven years The employe is to
have the privilege of- investing his
monthly earnings in stock and run the
same on the range and with the stock
belonging to his employer without uny
expense to the employe The stock
owner by such an arrangement secures
services of experienced help at low wa
ges for several jears and the employe
at the expiration cf seven years will
have a large herd of stock of his own
Crawford Bulletin
New Sheep Law
Sheep drovers who purchase stock in
Oregon tl is year to drive through
Wyoming will not have as easy a time
getting through that state according to
J M Williams of Moorcraft Wyo
Mr Williams who is interested in
sheep raising at that point says a new
state law will go into effect this spring
quarantining all outside sheep for a
period of sixty days at the state boun
dary and the stock has to be dipped
and inspected and approved before be
ing permitted to move on This law is
ostensibly a quarantine regulation but
is evidently aimed at Oregon and
Washington sheep which recent pur
chasers drive eastward to the feeding
grounds
An Emphatic Protest
After voicing -their sentiments in
a
long preamble the stockmen atjlyan
nis passed thesj resolutions against the
proposed lease law
Resolved That we are unalterably
opposed to the proposed or any similar
measure and earnestly protest against
its enactment into law and be it
llesolved That this meeting of citi
zens take such action as will procure
the dissemination of this protest
throughout the territory affected and
earnestly request the immediate co
operation of its inhabitants and be it
further
Resolved That Nebraskjvs represen
tatives in congress be and they are
hereby instructed to work and vote
against the proposed bill for leasing the
public lands of the United states and
agaicst any similar measure
Didnt Run a Monkey Ranch
It is related of Arkansaw Hob Gil
laspie that while coining to town a
short lime ago he had a breakdown
while near the Niobrara and requiring
a wrench to repair the damage to his
wagon he went to a neighboring house
to secure it The resident proved to
be a Norwegian who did not under
stand English very well but Bob asked
him in his most distinct tones if he had
a monkey wrench The Norwegian
looked puzzled and finally replied No
ay bane no monka ranch but dare bane
a cow ranch yust over dot heel Rob
collapsed
Keya Paha Stockmen
A meeting of the Keya Paha Riyer
stock association was held at Brocks
burg on Feb 17th and from the min
utes of the meeting we learn that the
following business was done
Moved and carried that the OS brand
on left jaw as allowed by the State
Brand committee be adopted by this
association as an association brand to
oe used by mem bera of the associcition
in addition to their private brands
Moved aud carried that the executive
committee procure 100 brands and sell
them to the members at cost
The supreme court of Kansas has
just rendered a decision declaring
of the lastles
islature in requiring railroads to fur
nish free transportation to shippers of
live stock The court was unanimous
and its decision reverses both the appel
ate court and the Sedgwick county dis
trict court The court holds that it
was a deprivation of property without
due process of law and therefore un
constitutional and void under the four
teenth amendment of the constitution
Secretary Martin of the National
Live Stock association has been ap
pointed special agent in charge of the
taking of the classified census of live
stock Headquarters for this division
embracing all the range country has
been established at JDenverr This will
be the first time in the historv of the
country that a classified census of live
stock will have been taken A special
appropriation was made by congress
for this purpose Aiiles City Journal
Chicago Shoe and Leather Review
says The packers have little trouble in
disposing ol their branded hides but
native steers and cows are dull and
neglected The tanners find country
hides are relatively cheaper and are
neglecting the packer markets We
quote native steers 13 l 8c and 13 l 4c
Texas 13c Colorado steers and
branded cows 11 l 2c and 11 3 4c and
heavy and light native cows 11 l 2c
Speaking of the meeting in Hyannis
Feb 17 The Tribune says There was
a goodly representation of stockmen
from this and Cherry county and all
were quite enthusiastic in their denun
ciation of the measure There were a
few and a very few we are glad to
say who were willing that the land
should be leased but the great major

last-
