It is stated on good authority that
Utah , Nevada and Idaho will ship
practically no more cattle until next
lutumii. There are , it is s.iid , no vear-
iins in those states to be had. En
Oregon there is an urgent demand for
stock cattle , owing to the scarcity of
Battle , in the great feeding states.
Sfearlings in Oregon are selling at
per head , and two-year olds up to $27
National Stockman.
A commission merchant who was
present at the Dickinson. Miles City
and Chinook meetings says the beef
3attle on the ranges will be four weeks
later and scarcer than last year , but he
thinks the ranges are being replenished
fairly well for the future.
Some 2-year old cattle sold recently
at $21 per head , against § 23 six weeks
ago. There is a scarcity of 3-year olds ,
but a fair supply of 2-year olds , and a
big supply of yearlings. Nebraska and
Kansas cattle growers are renewing an
unusually large amount of paper ' on
cattle.
John Clay , Jr. , of the firm of Clay ,
Robinson & Co. , who is back from a
twenty-flve day trip to Montana , tells
that the loss of cattle on the ranges that
were not provided with feed was very
great last winter , although the reports
have been absurdly over-estimated.
Where feed was provided the loss was
quite small National Stockman.
A. M. Modisett lias returned from
his western trip. He spent some time
in Oregon where he purchased about
1200 head of cattle. He expests to go
back as soon as the stock have been
gathered in and receive and ship liis.

BLACKLEG.
Opinion 011 Itn Prevention
mid Treatment.
The veterinary department of the
Kansas experiment station in a bulletin
just issued says that blackleg in cattle
is caused by the blackleg bacillus and
by no other germ. On the other hand ,
the blackleg bacillus causes blackleg
and no other disease. By controlling
this bacillus we would have one solu
tion of the question of prevention
Blackleg is a wound infection disease
that is , it is produced by infection
through a wound , by the entrance of
the blackleg bacillus through a wound
into the body tissues. This wound may
be in the skin or in the mucous mem
brane of the digestive tract ( mouth ,
stomach , intestine ) .
'Blackleg bacilli are found in two
places in t'he bodies of dead or diseased
blackleg victims and in certain low ,
soils , usually bottom lands. In
both places these germs grow and mul
tiply. Infected soil , or food plants
grown on such soil , serve as meitns to
carry the germs into the animal's tis
sues. Wounds or bruises in the animal's
skin or digestive membranes , be they
ever so slight , serve as ports of entrance
for the bacillus. The hoofs of animals
and their coats of hair , even their drop
pings. carelessness in attendants , serve
to carry the germs from place to place.
These statements point out two pos
sible methods of prevention :
Fir&t. Changing animals from in
fected fields ( usually low places with
rich soil ) to noninfected grounds ( high.
dry places ) .
"We can further prevent the spread
of the disease by burning the dead bodies
ies of animals that died of blackleg ,
avoiding the practice of burying such
carcasses , which amounts practically to
planting the disease germs for future
harvests.
Second. The disease can in a meas
ure be presented by proper feeding
feeding digestible grasses and root
crops , avoiding rough cornstalks and
other coarse , hard foods which can pro
duce small internal or external wounds
or abrasions , and thus provide a port of
entrance for the disease germ. The
germ always enters the body through a
wound. Suckling calves do net have
these opportunities lor wounding their
delicate mucous membranes , and it is a
well known fact that they are rarely
afflicted with this disease.
CottoiiKeed Beef.
The professor uf chemistry at the
Mississippi Agricultural college says :
"Despite the occasional statements in
the agricultural press that cottonseed
product beef is of poor quality , I have
failed to find in searching practically
all the experiments on this subject evi
dence to justify the statement. It is
true that the fat of animals fed on cot
tonseed products has a melting point
of 2 to 6 degrees higher , the fat is hard
er and firmer than that of animals fat
tened on corn , but this has not , so far
as I can see , caused any objection to be
made aimiust the enur.j ; qualities of
cne oeef. "
