Substantial Prosperity.
There have been times in the history
of the cattle industry when cattle prices
were higher than they are today , but
there has probably never been a time ,
everything considered , when the busi
ness of raising cattle has been in such
satisfactory condition. Trices in the
early eighties were higher than they
are now , but the industry had awaiting
it , and at hand , changes ? influences and
developments certain to result in so
great a reaction in boom influences as
to occasion losses to all and bankruptcy
to many engaged in it. The men who
were then entering the cattle business ,
paying booSn prices for cattle , fouu 1
themselves compelled to invest large
sums in lands and the improvements
necessary to the conduct of their busi
ness , and soon found themselves over
loaded with debts and compelled1 to
make great sacrifices. A large propoi-
tion of the biggest cattle properties
were purchased at such a cost as to in
sure heavy loss unless continued pros
perity should protect the investors.
Unfortunately such prosperity as the
business enjoyed could not continue ,
says the Texas Stock and Farm Jour
nal.
Arguing thence it concludes that on
account of the greatly improved quality
ot the cattle now i being produced on
ihe ranges , and the new methods of
caring for them during the winter , the
cutting down of losses and the more
abundant supply of water for grazing
stock , the cattle industry is on a solid
business basis as to values in land and
( -
cattle , and danger of collapse is prac
tically naught. There is no question
that cattlemen are now more independ
ent and safer from loss than ever b foi e
in this country.
A Growing Industry.
The Cherry County Live Stock Ex
change is rapidly gaining the confidence
of those who have stock to sell or who
wish to buy , and is demonstrating daily
that it tills a place hi this section of the
country which has long been neglected.
Among the sales made by it during the
last week we note 2fcO yearlings and
calves from A. AJ. C'lmrbonneau to I.
II. ( loodfeltow , and 30 head of steel-
calves from Ram berg to F. II. Good-
fellow. There is no jeason why any
one should go to great trouble and ex
pense to make a cattle deal who-i this
exchange will do the work for you for
a small commission.
* About Horse Collars.
"We recently noticed an article in. an
exchange regarding horse collars which
is full of common sense. It savs that
* k
the collar should be smooth , hard and
round. If these conditions are observ
ed the collar will roll on the skin , some
thing like a ball bearing , and admit the
air , thereby cooling the parts. The Hater
or soft collar sticks closely to the skin
and compels it to move on the under-
ly m'g ttehthei-e6yvproi ] ncmgirri tatioif
and deepseated galls. Just at this sea
son of the year , when harvesting is on.
too much attention cannot be paid to
work horses' shoulders.
"Short Grass Makes Fat Cattle "
The tenderfoot can t appreciate the
sayin , ' 'short grass makes fat cattle , "
and to them the reports from "the In
dian territory to the effect that rrass is
knee-high is proof positive that cattle
there must be in fine condition. But
the experienced stockman knows bet
ter. It is the short , nutritious grasses
of the sand hills which make this the
best stock country on'earth.
The Chicago Drovers Journal says
there is every indication that the de
mand for feeding sheep will be greeter
than'for several years past. Also that
the western ranges will j-end in fewer
half fat sheep than usual.
o
A short hay crop in many localities
will result in reducing the number of
cattle in many herds this winter. Our
ranchmen have discovered the folly of
wintering cattle on short rations , and
have resolved to do-so no im re. .
