HOESE AND COW NEWS.
McCook , Xcb. , January 10 , 18S4.
Northwestern Live Stock Journal :
The lowest reglnter of the thermometer here this
w Inter was 6 dcg. below zero. The miow Is now three
Inches deep , with a Might crust , but there Is plenty
of feed on the rier bottoms and hill Bides uncut ert'd.
Tattle nnd homes arc ull doing well. ThU Is a sort
of ' "ulf-and-'alf" feeding nnd range region. Most
atockmcn own nent , easily handled herds. Weak cut
tle are not lit good xhapc. They were all cut out In
the fall and put under fence till winter In well over.
During the su\cre bpells of wcuthcrllke those of late
these "weak brothers and sisters" of the herd arc
fed hay and \ cry of ten corn. Strong cattle are left
to rustic for themseh es on the range , without fear
of much loss. There Is no Irrigation and consequent
fencing off of range stock from water hereabouts.
Hay for fecdlngsells at ft In the stack. "Where pro
curable , com raked Is worth -10 cents per bushel , and
If shipped from Franklin , Webster or other eastern
Nebraska counties , It Is worth 43c. per bushel deliv
ered here , freight paid. No hogs or geese are used
to follow up fed cattle , as Is customary In many feed'
ing regions In the states. Only a. small quantity of
grain enough to tide weak stock through tough
weather Is fed , anil all fed Is thus thoroughly digest
ed and utilized. Mr. J. II. Jlescne , an eastern
man about one year Interested In stock here , feeds
310 head of weak cattle fifteen bushels of corn In the
ear dally , allowing seventy pounds of ear corn to
nuke one besliel of sixty pounds of shelled corn. Ills
experiments lead him to prefer com at even fifty
cents per bushel to hay at ? 4 per ton for feeding.
liccres are shipped from this region to Chicago at
Indianola , t\v ehe miles distant , und Culbertson , 12
miles west of here , there being no stock yards at
this place.
From reliable parties I glean the following :
John B. Il.itlleld i Son , formerly of Dccatur , 111. ,
who e ranch Is on the Republican rler , four miles
southeast of here , brought from the east , a j car ago ,
: i50 yearling heifers and 13 short-hum Duiham bulls.
He has puisued the plan of feeding the weak ones
only , and has promise of a tine little graded herd.
V. V. Fisher & Sons , whose range Is at the Falls
of the Frenchman rh er , are not feeding any , their
herd being haidy nathcs. Their cattle arc doing
finely. Mr. Fisher came out here from Illinois In
1878 , "busted. " Now he owns -100 head.
Doyle & Bowles , whose range It * on Red Willow ,
ten miles south , own about 800 head , of which they
urc feeding about 75.
William Procter , it hose range Is on Red Willow ,
northwest of here.wlth a herd of 1,100 head , Is feed
ing hay und millet to 150 weak ones. Mr. Fisher says
Mr , Proctor Is down on "sklui-mllk" Imported east
ern catte. During freeze-ups they shuttle out on the
Ice and drown In air holes on the river like rats , and
they will follow a team and wagon to well , warm
regions where tilings never freeze. He would rather
have a hairy , rustling nrUUcor rawhide Texan year-
Hug any day than th < : smoothest eastern skim-milker
that was ever brought out here.
Charles Babcotk , the gentlemanly Register of the
Land Olllce at McCook , bought 15U Texan mares , last
fall , which are doing well In care of a stockman 35
miles north of here.
There Is no kicking here about Irrlgators * fencing ,
as theic Is farther west. People belie\e runuJng
block on the range and feeding the same a little pajs
better. Corn has not averaged a yield of tlx. bushels
to the acre for Ue years past , but some stockmen
prefer trj Ing to raise their own corn to shlpplrg it
here from points east of here. Next jear Is always
the one they are gohig to raise rank corn. Farther
cant there arc a good many sheep , but horse and cow
men here say that the few bands on this range are
not , so far , detrimental.
W.M. Porter , a cow-boy of the stripe that can heel
a cow the first throw and set a bucking horse very
deep fn the saddle , and who Is now emplojed by the
half-circle A outfit on Red Willow.says Henry Church ,
a Fiontler county stockman , Is bidding ? JO for j ear-
ling steers and ? 29 for twos , to be dell\cred this
spring. No taker * .
In conclusion , McCook Is a vigorous , growing year
ling town , and Its resident stockmen and other citi
zens nice , pleasant people to do business with.
PONY BILL.
The dance at the opera house on Thursday evening
last , broke up In a row. It seems during the evening
s-cvcral parties had Imbibed more whNky than was
peed for their Judgment and an altercation took place
between a man named Frank Young and E. F. Qulg-
ley , In which the latter tried to use-a re\olver. This
mo\ was frustrated by bystanders and Young got
In his work on Qutgley with a chair , cutting the lat-
ter's head open. Qulgley who was the aggressor was
put out of the house. He returned shortly with a
carbine and threatened to shoot e\erybody. Finally
! kfesri. A. W. Hamilton and Andy Barber took the
guu away from Qulgley , and put him to bed as he
had grown weak from loss of blood. To say that the
affair is simply disgraceful , is drawing it mild. In
our opinion the time for such scenes lu this county
has passed nud the sooner owners or managers of
public dance halls recognize the fae : the better. No
man under the Influence of liquor should be allowed
to enter such a place on any pretext whatever , as
his presence Is au lobtilt to every lady there. Indian
ola Courier.
SOCIETY is very queer. The people
raosfc sought after are those wJio do not
pay their debts.

TIIK following is said to be the set
form of instructions that Missouri hus
bands give to new wives : "My dear ,
I'm a bad man from away back when
aroused , but gently treated , I'm as
docile as a lamb. You just induce mete
to do always as I please and there'll
never be any trouble in the family. "
IT seems that Fred.Doujjlass wanted -
f >
ed to show his sympathy with the wo
man's rights movement by marrying
Miss Pitts. His wife is one of the
strong-minded agitators of woman
suffrage , and being in despair of get
ting a white man anywhere near her
equal , she concluded to tie herself to
an intelligent contraband. Bee.
THE Faculty of "Williams College
