STOCK NOTES
Live Stock Census
i
From the dispatches of March 31 we
notice that the coming census of live
stock will undertake three new feat
ures classification by age and partly
by sex and use a count of pure blood
animals and an enumeration of stock
not on farms and ranges these last
amounting to several million head
The age classification was undertaken
in response to a demand of the stock
men who felt that the mere enumera
tion of animals regardless of age and
use was about as valueless as account
ot inhabitants without distinction of
age sex color and occupation They
expressed a desire to secure as a basis
for calculating the approximate num
ber of liye stock and the productive
capacity of the entire mass of cattle or
sheep for any particular season and
the schedules have been prepared to
meet their wishes
High Trice for Sheep
Western grain fed sheep yesterday
reached 6 for the first time this year
It was significant for it marked the
highest point in the sheep market since
1S93 when the top was G43 For
many years previous to 1894 choice
sheep sold at good prices the record
price being 8 in April 1S82 April
and Ia arc usual the high months
of the year for the fed sheep at that
season are4n their primest condition
and the fleece is at its maximum
growth JSow that values are high
there isa bullish feeling among sheep
men and instead of a mad rush to
market there is a tendency to hold
back everything that is fit to breed and
bear good wool The highest price
paid for fed western sheep last March
was 505 Chicago Drovers Journal
Why Not Consolidate
The Western Nebraska Stock Associ
ation yill meet in Alliance on May Stir
and once more we wish to urge upon
our readers the advisability of becom
ing members of the association also to
urge the advantage of consolidating all
the smaller associations The Brown
county and the Key a Paha organiza
tions are too small to be of any great
benefit to their members and they
ought to get together Without in
spection at m rket points but little
good can be accomplished but if all
these associations would combine they
could employ inspectors of their own
Think this over
