The Omaha Labor Bulletin says that a subscriber of that. paper who is a property owner wants the people to become interested in this question : If Uncle Sam confiscates the property of Spaniards in the interest of humanity in Cuba , why should he not couliscate the property of monopolists in the in terest of humanity in the United States ? The state commissioner of public lands has a ruling by the commissioner of internal revenue , at Washington , upon the require nents of the revenue law in relation to assignments of school laud lease or sale contracts , which is as follows : "In reply to his ( commissioner of public lands and buildings ) inquiries as to assignments or transfer of these con tracts ( "school land lease and sale con tract ) you will please inform him that the same are subject to tax as assign ments of a lease or sale contract , being in effect a lease of the lands described therein , and the rate of taxation will be found under the head of "lease" in Schedule A. Although the original in struments in these cases , when issued by the state , are exempt from taxation , their assignment or transfer , when made by persons to whom they belong , become liable to the stamp tax the same as any other lease. The person who makes the assignment or transfer must pay the tax and affix the stamp. " A special from Douglas , Wyo. . bays : The depredations of wolves and other wild animals are causing great anxiety among stockmen , as the wolves are congregating in great numbers in the northern part of the county. Fred Remington , a prominent stockman stated he would be willing to pay a special tax of-$1.00 a head on his cattle in order to have a higher bount } ' on wolves ; that unless something was done to exterminate them lie would have to sell out his herd next .spring and quit business. Nelson Morris , the packerhas return ed from a European trip. lie says"In : Germany I found the agrarian party still fighting to prevent American meat products from entering that country. This state of things makes living very dear for poor people. Lard is the only thing that is now permitted to enter Germany , and the price is about five cents higher than it is in this country The matter of placing fresh meat on j the English market can hardly be im proved upon. For the last six years we have had almost daily arrivals of live cattle in Liverpool , which are shipped by the boat-load from Baltimore , > ew York and Newport News. These cat tle are killed at our various slaughter houses , and shipped in refrigerator cars to distributing point. ' ' The Chicago business letter of the National Stockman says that one rea son for the extremely small purchases made by Ihe cattle exporters in the Chicago market for some weeks passt is the fact that exporters have been moving - , ing a good many contract cattle from distilleries and feed lots. They are expected to compete for cuttle in the open markets in the near future. This year the protracted drouth in England has forced in unusually large numbers of English cattle on the British mark ets , cansing a glut and thereby making a bad market for our cattle. A few days ago Thomas Mattison , of Clark county , Ohio , bought in this market 21 prime feeding steers , aver aging 1,050 pounds , at $4.65 , and 25 yearlings stackers , averaging 700 1 pounds , at $4.30 to $4.CO. Mr. Matti- < son is a well-known breeder of Foiled 1 Angus cattle. He is also a large feeder i and prefers to feed good cattle , his experience - < perience being that it is much more < profitable than feeding common stock. 1 The official cattle dipping was conducted - < ducted last Saturday at the Fort "Worth i Texas , stockyards , a bunch of 320 head < being successfully immersed. The J event was particularly interesting to stockmen , as it was the first dipping to i take place under the new government < regulations. All previous dippings 1 p experimental , , , , , y s * f ( The Montana Stock Growers1 Jour nal says that quotations on four-year- old and fiveyear-old steers are no l-.jnjr- cr possible , as these cattle are n < t in sufficient number to justify quota Tons. It is evident that the range cattle luive been clerned up more closely than for many yearsj More two-year-old .steers are now being .shipped from the ranges than ever before While the supply of cattle has gener- I ally shown a , decrease , both in the states and on ranges , Kansas this year makes a considerable increase according to the reports ot the assessors. The num ber of cattle this year is 1,998.140 an in crease oT 39 i , 197 over last year. Hogs also snow an increase of 366,577. Sheep decrease 15,221 and , there are 23,599 fewer horses than there were at the corresponding period in 1S97. Quite a large number of big cattle firms on the western ranges are going out of business , not because of losses , for their business has been fairly pros perous , but because cattle of all kinds are scarce and hard to get and cost too much to afford , in their judgment , a profit even if they could be obtained. Two-year-olds used to be bought for $10 or $11 and cows frith calves at about $12 ; now yearlings to three-year- olds command from $22 to $42 and cows with calves about $36. The corn grower has allowed himself to run out of cattle , and his competition for range stock has been so keen that in the judgment of the cattle companic. . prices are too high to afford much pros pect for profit during the coming vear. A Montana paper , however , says that the territory given up by the cattlemen will not be wasted. "As soon as the big cattle outfits retire sheep men are found to be either prospecting or in actual po-sse sion of the abandoned territory. " From the Montana view the chnngKi are thought to mean a permanent departure from the era of cheap beef. Homestead. In a well written letter in the Na tional Eural on "Profitable Cattle Feeding' ' F. B. Muinford says that a well fattened steer of the beef'type has a much larger proportion of the cuts which bring the highest market price. For example , the porter-houM ) cut .sells for twenty cents per pound , while the ribs plate and llank are valued at only four cents per pound. Or one pound ol porter-houso on an animal is worth four llank or ribs plate. The value of a fat steer is not fixed then by the number of gross pounds he may scale , but his value is determined by his de velopment or lack of development of the valuable portions of his carcass. The highest development of these val uable parts is found in all our improv ed beef breeds. There is a well recog nized beef type , and animals conform ing to this type are always eagerly sought after by buyers. The beef type is broad and blocky , with straight top and bottom line , line , soft hair , mellow loose skin and fine clean bone. The muzzle should be clean cut and fine. The neck short and thick and set firm ly on the shoulders. A long thin neck is to be carefully avoided. The basis of all excellence is a good vigorous con stitution , and this is indicated by a full deep chest , thick through the heart , and u clear bright eye. if added to the above qualities an animal possesses a broad back , full thick loin , long , level rump , full well fleshed thigh , and low , thick flank , you have an ideal com form ation for profitable feeding , and an in dividual that when properly finished will command the highest market price. It requires no more food to finish an animal having a large development of valuabl porterhouse , sirloin and ribs , than one having a disproportionate amount - mount of the cheaper beef cuts. Here then is a sure way of increasing your j prolitb from cattle feeding. Produce ! what the market demands and for which it i& willing to pay. This culls j for the breeding of better cattle * and i this i , unquestionably the most import- i nut single item in building the frame work of feeding cattle , for no amount of feeding will change a long ; lanky , coarse boned steer into a blocky , well finished and high priced beef.
