Nebr STOCK NOTES , ASUWWtAd If this open weather continues much longer our stockmen will have hay to burn inthe spring. It isn't a good idea to let bulls run with the herd all the time , us we have frequently pointed out , but many people ple do it. The report of Secretary Preuitt , of the Montana Stock Growers' associa tion , shows that 208,498 head of cattle were shipped out of the state and in spected at the various market centers in 1899. This was the smallest num ber since 1892. During the past yeor about 50,1100 cattle were shipped into the state , of which 1,844 were pure bred. In looking over the brands allowed in Cherry county , we notice the ab sence of several old timers' names , caused by neglect in complying with the law by sending in their applica tions. We are sorry for them but they have no one bui themselves to blame if they lose their old familiar brand The state board will meet again in March , about the 20th. Another bunch of 100 head of cattle were sent over by the O'Xeill Ditch Company , yesterday , that swell their total number to 750 head. On a hnsty estimate this makes over 2000 head of feeders now being fed in this end of the county besides the large number of hogs and still there seems to be a large surplus of feed. Another year Uoyd countv will market double the cattle and hogs that are now beinir fed Lynch Journal. In the steppes of Russia is a vast range where large numbers of cattle graze. This range is covered with snow six months in the vear. It is said that the glare of the snow makes the cattle blind , so to circumvent this a rich ranchman has invented a snow glass , which is heldin'plactrby straps over the catties' eyes. It is claimed that 40.000 cattle ore thus spectucled. What a spectacle this would be ! Drov ers' Journal. It will not be long now until the cen sus enu iierators will be around asking questions , and if stockmen would only make a classi"cation of their stock in advance , much time and trouble would be sored. It is especially important that the number and kinds of young stock be properly reported so that when the figures are published the country may know how the stock stands. Here tofore the government figures have been of but little benefit by the time they were published , and it is proposed to rush matters through this time. It is announced that a contract has just been made by St. Paul and Minne apolis shippers with the Northern Pa cific Railway Company for the trans portation of 9,000 horses from the ranges on the Pacific slope to the Twin cities. It will take over 330 cars of im proved pattern , capable of holding twenty-five horses each , to fill the or der. The animals are said to have been bought for from $7 to 7.50 per head , but when all expenses are paid it will take a selling price of rather more than $35 .v head before there will be any profit on the deal. A number of herds of cattle in the sand hills are affected by the itch ; in fact , very few herds are absolutely free from the disease. While very few ani mals die from its effects yet there is no denying that cattle do not thrive whilst in this condition and in all cases the animals present a ragged appear ance , and in some cases their looks arc extrmely loathsome , bemjj almost de nuded of hair and emaciated in llesh. Alliance Grip. Earl Comstock , one of the managers for the Richards & Comstoe.k outfit , was in town this week , and in talking of the itch said his company used a dip which was proving very successful , named chloro-naphtholeum. A 10 per cent solution , he says , never fails to cure , and it also keeps flys away in summer. o The State Brand Commission fin ished its labors at Lincoln , last week , and recorded about 1706 different brands on the state hook. Cherry county easily led the slnte in the num ber of brands and marks applfed for ami recorded , having about JJ80 applications ' in , mosttif".which- recorded. commission experienced fewer difficul ties in allowing the marks than was ex pected , and their work seems to give general satisfaction. It is probable , however , that a roar will go up soon from those who neglected to apply for marks under the new law , many of whom will consequently be unable to secure'the use of their old brand. Hereafter - s after brands .will be allowed according to the date of application , instead of the date of their old certificate. A short time ago T. B. Swan sold to J. M 13arto his flock of 800 head of sheep , for a cash consideration of $1300 and the payment of a $2000 mortgage held by the Maverick Bank. Mr. Bar- to last week contracted the sheep to Al Powell , a South Omaha commission man. Before thr sheep were delivered to Powell , Jack Perry , of the linn of Perry Bros. , commission men of Oma ha , appeared in Gordon and claimed to hold a first mortgage of $1350 against GOO of the above muttuns. lie employed \V. W. Wood as his attorney , who re- plevined the sheep for Perry. The cle- fense"'claim the above sheex > are not the ones on which Perry held a mortgage , many of which have died , and the re mainder having been shipped to Perry. The Ma1 e * ick Bank replevined the sheep from Perry and the } ' were ship ped to Omaha hist night , The founda tion has been laid for a lively "wool- pulling" at the next term of district court.

We notice in the press reports of the National Live Stock Association , held in Fort U'orth , Texas last week that President Springer was authorized to appoint a committee from , the western states and territories to frame a bill to be presented to congress in conformity with the appended resolution relating to the leasing of the public lands : "Whereas , The vast area of public lands no v being occupied and used by the stockmen of the west for grazing lands , are without the management and control of any authority with power and facilities to' protect and regulate the1 same and , ' * Whereas , Siid lack of control has led to the overstocking of many of the ranges , thereby destroying the sod and large tracts of public lands to the detri ment of the national government as well as to the stockmen , and , "Wl-ereas , We believe that the people ple interested in stock raising are ca pable of determining the most whole home plan for the management of the public ranges and for the correcting of existing evils , and , "Whereas , The stoc'\men feel that justice demands that they should be consulted in all matters pertaining to national legislation affecting the public ranges of the west on which they have lived-and made their homes for years ; therefore , be it "Resolved , That it is the sense of this convetion that the arid and semiarid - arid public lands in the western slates and territories .shoiil.l be classilied. ap praised and lea > o l Lo the . * > to"k raisers of the we > t for glazing purposes under fixed limitation * giving preference al ways to the occupants of said lands. " We presume that th ; bill so prepared will provide for the leasing of these lands , subject to homestead entry , in which case stockmen will be amply protected against all but actual settlers , as the provision that those now occupy ing or using the Kind will be given first chance to lease will protect them from speculators and blackmailers. Away out in Hitchcock county there is a paper which its editor says is "hot. " If "hot" means vulgar , the ad-1 jc'ctive is properhused. . The editor ; sneers at Christianity and poses as the only simon pure article of goodness in the community. He scores immorality and UFCS all the cuss words in his paper that the law will allow. He blames the churches because in Europe 3,000,000 men are taken from civil life and are kept under arms and praises McKSn- ley for killing Filipinos and increasing the number of "regular" soldiers in the' ' United States. Though Mrs. Bryan'j secured the donation of $75,000 fori Lincoln's public library , he scores ! Bryan because he was not wealthy' ' enough to donate $20,000 for a site .forj the building. Perhaps this is 'the only j way to become a "hot" editor , but if ! so , we don't hanker after a reputation as o'ne of. thot class. - - . . ' 4 ? ifr 49 49 NTER 49 49 49 49 49 Ift 49 49 39 CASH !
