STOCK NOTES
Forty Hour Law Killed
Live stock breeders and shippers
says the Drovers Journalwlll be inter
ested in knowing that the senate inter
state commerce committee has decided
to take action which will haye the ef
fect of killing the bill intended to per
mit live stock in transit to remain in
the cars forty hours instead of twenty
eight as at present The measure was
introduced at the instance of leading
live stoc associations of the country
who claimed cattle in transit were sub
jected to cruel treatment by unloading
for the purpose of giving them water
and rest This course necessitated a
great deal of punching as the cattle are
usually in an excited condition after be
ing on the cars for some time
The shippers -ranted the law changed
so as to let the cattle remain in the cars
forty hours as live stock coming from
the ranges and distant feed lots could
reach the markets in that time without
change It was claimed it was in the
interest of humane treatment that the
extension of time asked The societies
lor the prevention of cruelty to animals
did not agree with the cattlemen how
ever and have bombarded the senate
with protests against the measure
For these re sons the committee on
interstate commerce has decided to ask
the senate to recommit the bill upon
which a favorable report has been
made to the committee It will be in
definitely postponed which means it
will not be heard of again this season
Thus it seems to be assumed that the
Humane society people know more
about live stock than do the intelligent
live stock men of the country
New Industry
Nebraska is coming to the front with
a new inanufaotured product called
baled stover It is turned out by
the Standard Company at Ames and is
nothing more nor less than corn fodder
In the corn field the cutting is done
with a machine thatbinds the stalks at
the same time Then when thoroughly
dried out the whole mess is run
through a shredder which shells and
separates the corn and cobs The
stalks aud blades are shredded up into
little bits said to be just the right stuff
for cattle and sheep very nutritious and
digestible for the juices of the stalks
are in them yet For shipping how
ever the Ames people are baling the
stover in the form of cylinders 30 inches
long and 18 inches in diameter In
this space is compressed 300 pounds of
corn stalks and leaves It is said that
the stover is being manufactured for
shipment to cattle and sheep glowers
in the eastern part of this country and
in Europe
Export of liorses
The report of the treasury depart
ment shows a remarkable increase in
the horse and mule export trade of the
United States during the past few
months
The total export of horses for the
month of January 1900 aggregated
4972 against 3327 head for January
1899 The total exportation of Ameri
can horses for seven months ending
January 1900 comprise 27286 head
against 21436 horses for the same
period in 1899 and 25021 head for the
corresponding seven months in 189S
A feature of the export trade is the
wonderful increase of the exports to
Africa which m January reached the
enormous volume of 4972horsesagainst
24 head for January 1899 For Janu
ary 1900 there were exported 5759
mules against 538 head in January last
year The export of mules for the
seven mouths ending January 1900
comprise a total of 22264 head against
4834 mules for the corresponding period
in 1898
New Sales Yard
The stock sales yard at Chadron
seems to be an assured fact and from
the Chadron Journal we learn that Mr
McGannon Has a force of men busily
engaged getting out lumber for the
yards of which he states it will re
quire 350000 feet to complete with suit
able shedding the yards he now has in
contemplation of erection Among
other statements Mr McGannon says
his original investment will require
14000 to start it this includes first
shipment of stock
At a public sale near Amswnrth last
week fifteen heifers sold for 35 per
head This is a pretty stiff price

Mr Cornelius Hedges secretary of
the Montana Board of Sheep Commis
sioners in his annual report to the gov
ernor says among other things
Though Montana imy be regarded as
a healthy country for sheep ho general
disease having made its appearance
since the introduction in 1870 and no
such destructive droughts have been
experienced as in Australia yet with
the best care attention and shelter
with feed for seasons of storm there is
considerable loss occurring Wolves
and coyotes levy continual tribute
many die from poisonous weeds and
many more in untimely storms and
sudden floods from piling up and
smotheiing in cold storms In a re
cent October storm in a single county
it is estimated that as many as 5000
perished and in this case many of the
herders perished as Well That storm
was however unusually severe for the
time of year
Observers have noticed that compar
atively few cattle deals are being closed
just now and the fact is attributed to
the cattle raisers1 independence He is
satisfied that cattle are good property
now and has great faith in the future
The demand for bepf is increasing far
more rapidly than the supply and
thousands now want to get into the cat
tle business who a few j ears ago wanted
to get out
The largest number of cattle ever
credited to Texas was 8000000 head
which number was reached in 1890
Now the number is placed at only
5000000 Owing to better outlets and
smaller supplies all over the country
but mainly to improved breeding the
five million are worth probably as many
dollars as were the eight millions of a
decade ago
W H Carter shipped two cars of
horses from Cody Tuesday morning
Cherry county is full of good horses
which will bring their owners good re
turns this year if they are put upon the
market
Grass is beginning to start in some of
tlilow valleys and canyons but stock
men are not yet safe from the fearqf a
cold and wet storm One bad storm
now could undo all the sood of the open
winter just ending
During the last two weeks rains have
fallen over a good share of the western
cattle country and stockmen are jubil
ant over the prospects for an early
spring with plenty of grass
Through the efforts of Congressman
Neville it has been decided that the
government will continue to furnish
blackleg vaccine to stockmen free of
charge
Cherry county has been remarkablA
free from disease among her stock this
winter but we hear that a number of
cows are aborting this spring
A man who can make money by
raising horses would go broke by racing
them
You can be cheerful and happy
only when you are well If you feel
out of sorts take Her bine it will
brace you up Price 50 cents Quig
