STOCK NOTES
Cuban Market for Cattle
It was generally believed a year and
less ago that as soon as order was re
stored in Cuba that country would be
come a great market for exported Am
erican cattle but the conditions as they
exist today do not fulfill the expecta
tion of American stock raisers and
dealers although the tariff on live stuff
has been reduced from 7 or 8 a head
to the merely nominal sum of 1 Of
course here are reasons for this the
principal one being that our cattle are
too heavy for the Cuban trade
Cattle are imported for work for
breeding and for slaughter but in
neither of these points does the stock
from the United States fill the bill
On the island the voke for work cattle
is hitched to the horns of he animal
and this requires that it be of large
horn development and stout stocky
body The Texas steer comes nearest
answering the requirements but while
its horns are large it is apt to be light
in body For beef the Cuban does not
like the large animals that this country
produces and as our breeding stock is
not developed along the lines demanded
by our neighbors it of course does not
And a ready sale Another thing that
militates aga nst our stock is the cli
mate it is estimated that 40 per cent
of the breeding stock imported dies
from the effect of the climate and
change of food
Mexico and South American countries
have practical control of the markets
but while they can raise cattle cheaper
than we can they are hindered from
making low prices by the large expnit
duties their countries charge and the
United States is now trying to get these
export duties reduced for Cuba by
promising a reduction in the tariffs on
the reciprocity plan This is probably
a good thing for the Cuban but it
doesnt look like it is going to help the
stock raisers of our own land

Scours and Its Remedy-
For several years past losses in the
spring calf crop have seemed to be on
the increase Two years ago a very
virulent form of scours that was called
calf cholera was greatly prevalent
throughout the West and it was as
sumed with a good deal of observation
to support the idea that it was a dis
ease due to a specific germ and that it
was malignantly
S5
contagious
The
calving season is now approaching and
as calves and cattle have grown to be
unusually good property it stauds the
farmer and cattle grower more than
ever in hand to prepare for this enemy
of the industry whether it shall appear
in an epidemic or sporadic form This
trouble may be caused primarily bjT in
digestion but as the indigestion persists
the fermentation going on in the undi
gested masses becomes more active and
finallv becomes a contagious disease
Dr James Law professor of veterinary
science in Cornell University says he
hMs seen this epizootic diarrhoea start
at the headwaters of a stream and
spread clear to the mouth thereof con
tammating the whole watershed When
isolated cases are observed he says the
treatment is simple merely a laxative
composed of one or two ounces of cas
tor oil to each calf but when the dis
ease becomes virulent and it is shown
to have reached the contagious stage
he advises that in addition to the castor
oil the following treatment be given
Calomel 10 grains prepared caalk
1 ounce creosote 1 teaspoonful mix
divide into 10 parts and give one part
four times a day Or the following in
same size d6sesand frequency
Uovers powder 1 dram ipecacuanha
6 grains
When the abdomen becomes tender
to the touch counter irritants such as
mustard ammonia or turpentine ma
be rubbed on with good effect
Good Property
A good many horses have been win
tered in Holr county on the range
While hay is abundant it has not been
necessary to feed many of the horses
and a largo number of them have lived
the winter through thus far on the prai
rie The miid winter has made the
wintering of horses easy The horses
that have run out are in good liesh and
in better shape than those that have
boon kept up A friend from the conn
try told us the other day that he found
horses a paying thing to handle because
they required so little feed and care

To Kill Lice
W E Buckley a farmer and stock
man of Floj d county has as he be
lieves discovered a death blow to lice
on cattle and says if used Avith proper
care promptly destroy the pest The
following is the recipe
In two gallons of boiling hot water
put a pound ot finely whittled bar soap
and a quart of coal oil Stir and mix
thoroughly Tie down the animal as
you would in branding Apply the so
lution with a rag rubbing the animal
all over until its hair and hide are thor
oughly saturated It is necessary to
have the water hot in order to dissolve
the soap thoroughly After applying
the solution it is well to keep cattle pro
tected from the cold winds and ele
ments for a day or two Texas Stock

Market Notes
The Drovers Journal gives the fol
lowing notes on the Chicago market
last week Hogs closed about 5c
lower than a week ago Sheep and
lambs gained lo and 23c during the
week Canning cows have sold quite
freely all week Exporters bought cat
tle during the week at 450 and 540
Native beef cattle about 10c higher than
a week ago Feeding cattle have de
clined 13 and Hoc during the past week
Colorado fed lambs sold at the highest
point on record for this time of the
year
Middleman Gets Profit
Meat is very dear in Havana to the
retail buyer The price for beef is
about 33 cents a pound and is very poor
beef at that This is much or more
than it cost when the Spanish duty pre
vailed which cost was also increased
by numerous consumption taxes Amer
icans have discovered that there is little
or no competition in Havana and that
the reduction in the cost of importing
has all gone into the pockets of the
middlemen Times Herald
Monday J M Ilanna closed the
deal whereby he became owner of V
L Bests big rjmch of 320uacres joining
the Uraddy ranch some live miles south
east of Ainsworth Mr Hanna is now
in possession of over 700 acres of land
there which ha will fence into one big
cattle ranch Mr Best has not deter
mined just where he will locate but
intends to stay in this cattle belt
Ainsworth Journal
It is said perhaps with a grain of
truth that sheepmen hang on to their
flocks like grim death when the market
is advancing but fall over one another
to get to market vhen values are de
clining An illustration of this is at
hand now lleceipts for some time
have been comparatively light though
prices have been high enough to be
yery tempting Drovers Journal
George Coil who shot and killed
Tom Ryan in Dawes county some time
ago was found guilty in district court
at Qhadron Saturday of murder in the
second degree after a hard fought trial
Coil was a sheepman and the quarrel
which resulted in the killing arose over
a controversy about Coils sheep
which were trespassing on Ryans
range
Chadron parties announce that they
will build a stock salesyard in that city
this spring and claim to have a capital
of 35000 available for the purpose If
this proves true it will bo a great con
venience to many small stock raisers
who cannot afford to travel long dis
tances for the purpose of buying stock
for breeding nr other purposes
