THE DEMOCRATIC DONKEY is still in the harness. EVERYBODY is astonished at the aggregation. PETTIJOHN "Kissed and made up' ' with those he formerly opposed. THE LONG AND THE SHORT of it is that the democrats and pops made fools of themselves. A thief in llarper county , Kansas , recently came to grief when he tried to , sell stolen cattle to their owner. The sheep pens at Kansas City stock yards were destro3ed by fire Saturday night. Over d'lO sheep were killed by the fire. The pens covered an entire block. At the big Hereford cattle salewhich , was recently held in Kansas City , Mof , John Sparksof RenOj.Nev. , paid$2,500 for the Hereford heifer. Armour Rose , which was the highest price ever paid for a heifer. - - f The regular annual meeting of the lied Polled Cattle Club of America will be held Tit the Sherman House. Chicago , ill. , on Tuesday. November 21 , at 10 o'clock a. m. J. McLarn SmithDayton Ohio , is secretary of the association. W. II. Corbin shipped four car load of steers the fore part of the week to Rosenbaum & Co , South Omaha. According to information furnished they were the finest bunch of steers ever loaded onto cars out of Alliance. They averaged in weight 1520 Ibs. and top ped the market at 4.80. Alliance Grip. In the immense range country to the north of Montana , known as the * * i * Northwest Territory , the best stock growers propogate the finest strains of "black cattle" as the Angus and Gallo way cattle are called. These polled , black coated cattle are hardy , docile yet fainoHiTrustlers and take on lleslx easily not only , but they put on extra flesh where the high priced cuts lie and thus it is that the Angus cattle "kill well" as the butchers say. Bull calves of these breeds sell well on this side of the line where high grade Gall wayjs have been tried and have proved themselves to be all that ever has been claimed for them. Montana Journal. "While the auctioneer was selling Bonnie Prince , the Hereford calf which reverted to Mrs. Crois after the death of her husband , C. S. Cross ( founder of the Sunny Slope , Kansas , stock farm- ) at the great Hereford sale in Kansas City , recently , the first bid was $500 and a spirited contest was kept up till it was sold to Marshall i < ield.of Chicago. Just at this "juncture Col. Slaughter of Fort Worth , Texas , stepped into the ring and cast a , silver dollar in ihe saw dust near Bernie Prince , call ing on the rest of the stockmen present to make up a gift for the biave little woman. Dollars rained in the ring until an even peck measure of dollars was gathered up. riie government experiments in dip ping southern cattle to dtvtroy ihe ticks on them , and thus lender it .safe to shin them north at nil .seasons of the. year without quarantine ic&triclions to pre vent the spread of splenic fever , do not seem to have been attended with success although it was announced some time ago that they were successful and the quarantine regulations of a number of states are based upon the theory tat ! the results of dipping are satisfactory. At the recent convention of sanitary live stock boards , held at Chicago , Dr. Salmon , chief of the buieau of anim 1 industry , made an uddivss in which he said tiie experiments of last year had been so unsuccessful that the bureau was unwilling to make any recommend ations fnr dipping during the coming year. It is probable , however , that the bureau will continue its experiments , in the hope of finding a dip that will be efficient for the destruction of the ticks , and at the same time safe for the cattle.
