STOCK NOTES
KAAAAAAAAAlO
An Earir Spring
From all indications we will have an
early spring at least the wish is fath
er of the thought Cattle with few
exceptions are looking fine and very
few losses this winter have came under
the writers nersonal observation Of
course we will have storms before grass
and possibly a blizzard which might do
considerable damage but the shances
are in favor of the winter sliding into
the lap of spring before we are aware
of it It is a good plan if it could be
arranged for all stockmen to have some
feed to use along about the first of
April We usually have some disagree
able storms about that date which are
severe on cattle especially yearlings
end cows dropping calves All stock
men know that it is the severe spring
weather that pile up the dealh losses
for the year We may indulge ourselves
with hopes for mild weather and early
grass but nevertheless we should be
prepared for the worst if it should come
It is now six years since any great
damage occurred by cattle drifting in a
blizzard The last drifting blizzard
was in the spring of 1893 It was no
unusual sight m those days to see from
two to half a dozen cattle sticking in
the mud at the edge of some lake or
pond dead from hunger and exposure
In one lake in particular th writer saw
forty t vo head of younj teeri and a
few eov drowned in one night In
1892 the blizzards were extremely se
vere and the loss to the country south
and east of Alliance was very heavy
In the spring of 1891 there was drowned
in Swan lake about 100 three-year-old
steers belonging to a man named War
ner If a severe bizztrd should come
now the losses would not be half o
heavy as the lakes have nearly all van
ished qeides the country is nearly all
under fence which would retard the
drifting somewhat and lately stot -men
have learned by experience that
it pays to keep the herd well in hand
about the time of year for blizzards

The Leasing Question
At the recent meeting of the Nation
al Live Stock Association at Fort
Worthy Texas the subject of leasing
the uublic grazing lauds of the west
was very fully discussed in the consid
eration of a resolution declaring in fa
vor of leasing and a substitute offered
or it declaring against leasing Upon
a vote being taken the substitute was
defeated by a vote of 3b0 to 227 44 not
voting and the leasing resolution was
adopted C F Martin secretary of
the association has issued a bulletin
setting forth the facts in regard to the
discussion and the conclusion reached
and declares the latter to be that
while the association decided in fayor
of leasing the public lands none of the
bills now pending in congress for that
purpose are satisfactory to the stock
men and none of them were endorsed
Instead the understanding was that
legislation on the subject was to be
prevented for the present until the
stockmen could agree upon a measure
which would be satisfactory to all in
terests and which especially would
protect the small stockman and home
steader against the aggression of large
accumulations of capitll A commit
tee of sixteen representing all the
states and territories wliere range con
ditions prevail was appointed to pre
pare a bill upon the subject The com
mittee is now at work upon the bill
and when it has succeeded in drafting
a measure satisfactory to it it will be
presented to the stockmen of the west
for approval and amendment and
when finally agreed upon by them will
be presented to congress as represent
ing the wishes of the stockmen of the
west
British Beef from America
At the pure food convention in Wash
ington last week Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson stated that as a result of
an investigation by an agent of his de
partment he was informed that the
fine beef sold in the English markets
for English beef was killed m thevwest
ern pait of the United States and -shipped
in cold storage across the continent
and then across the Atlantic This
he said is the fine beef of Avhich Eng

The Belgian Hare
Interest in the Belgian hare is in
creasing in all parts of the United
States and particularly in California
which has taken the lead in the new
industry There are more Belgians in
California than in any other state in
the Union and the breeding of the ani
mal is more extensivelv carried on at
Los Angeles than in any place in Am
erica if not in the world Northern
California is now taking up the business
rapidly and every day one may read
of arrivals of thoroughbred Belgians at
various points in this part of the state
The Belgian hare is wonderfully pro
lific like the English rabbit which it
resembles in form An ingenuous cal
culator has figured out that allowing
six litters a year and eight young ones
to each litter the progeny of a single
pair would in five years reach the enor
mous total of 4305181 G82 hares- He
further estimates that allowing each
hare only two square yards of space
this number of hares would need 278
square miles of land Texas Stock

Kailroad is Held Accountable
The supreme court has upheld the -decision
of the circuit court of Illinois
giving H II Harris judgment against
the Illinois Central railroad for the loss
of a number of catt e shipped by him
in cars which were said to have been
infected with Texas feyer germs and
from which the disease was com nuni
cated to tin herd resulting in the death
ot -several head The appellate aud su
preme courts have in turn affirmed the
decision of liability positive proof hav
ing been adduced that diseaseUwas so
communicated to the cattle Qie su
preme court declares that before the
compan3T used these cars for shipping
cattle it should have disinfected them
so as to rovide against the spreading
of disease among live stock shipped on
the road Having failed to take this
precaution to protect innocent shippers
the court holds that the company is
liable for any loss that may nave ac
crued to the shipper thereby Texas

Mules are selling about as well as
any other live stock now Good big
mules are comparatively scarce and
buyers for the British government
have taken a large number of small
and medium sized animals from the
market aud indications point to a
sharp revival of mule breeding
There isa great difference in the
way in which cows for dairy use should
be developed from that in which beef
catble are to be treated Cows should
be kept in a good healthy condition but
any tendency to over fattening is to be
avoided That a race horse becomes
weakened by a superabundance of
flesh is generally known and the same
is true of a dairv cow
