Associations Should Unite
For a long time this paper has been
advocating the union of all small stock
associations in western Nebraska and
it takes pleasure in reproducing the
following from the Alliance Grip -
The Western Nebraska Stock
Growers Association with headquarters
at Alliance aims to cover the whole
western part of the state There is
nothing whatever of a local nature in
its make up its officers are chosen from
widely divergent districts so that all
sections may feil at home in its delib
erations Its primary objects are terse
ly set forth in three words viz Pro
tection Inspection Detection Its
name does not have a local significance
the stockman of Sidney Chadron Val
entine or Hyannis if a member will
receive the same benefits as the stock
man of Alliance Its name already is
a terror to evil doers and its beneficence
can be attested by all within the radius
of its influence The member who has
only 25 head of cattle receives the same
protection and consideration as the
member with 1000 head The fees are
light compared with the value received
The industry that is not thoroughly or
ganized is behind the times The cat
tle industry does not need innumerable
small insignificant organizations but a
few strong powerfulactive associations
whTt rirh iitul poor arc on an equality
and the rights of al respected
Money in Cattle for Cuba
C AJohnson the Woodlake bank
er who recently returned from a trip
to Cuba last week told this paper that
lie believed a man with capital could
soon make a fortune by shipping work
cattle and mules to Cuba and selling
them on time The Cuban farmers
have but little money but their coun
try is so rich that if they are only sup
plied with work animals they will soon
be independent again He said man
could more than double his money in
this business inside of six or eight
having this conversa
tion with Mr Johnson we have seen
a report from the military commander
of Matanzas which bears out his con
clusions exactly Genf Wilson says
I suggest supplying cattle fori working
purposes on a time basis accepting
regular rates of interest which should
be about 1 per cent a month Cattle
can be landed here at a cost of S70 a
yoke which once here would bring
more than 150 Large numbers of
working cattle are required by reliable
and hard working men who are anxious
to obtain them
Stockmen Rely on Uncle Sam
A resolution was recently introduced
in the national senate asking the agri
cultural department to inquire into the
parasitic diseases of sheep and to seek
efiicient remedies for the diseases and
means of destroying the parasites The
resolution declares that the parasitic
diseases of sheep are becoming more
troublesome to American shepherds
and instead of being confined to the re
gions east of the Mississippi river they
are rapidly traveling westward mak
ing a more serious menace to the sheep
growing industry The present knowl
edge of these diseases and their reme
dies is very incomplete and if more is
not learned sheepmen are threatened
with far greater losses than they have
yet sustained In this connection it is
interesting to note how rapidly the
spirit of paternalism is growing among
stock raisers and feeders At every
turn the government is called upon for
help We are glad to note this how
ever hs it shows the people have faith
in Uncle Sam
Large Land Deals
As an indication of the efforts of
large companies to control the cattle
business in this state the following
taken from the railroad newS of one of
our daily papers is interesting The
Union Pacific is considering a propo
sition made by a syndicate of Chicago
capitalists to buy 140000 acres in Lin
coln county this state extending on
either side of the railroad from Gothen
burg to North Platte During the
past month Union Pacific land sales
aggregated 107000 acres In Nebraska
the largest was to the Ware Custin
Cattle company 14124 acres in Keith
county the Rush Creek Land and
Live Stock Company a new corpor
ation of Chicago capitalists bought
10680 acres in Deuel county- Emil
Feuske has -bought 1000 acres in

The Angora goat was formerly val

A New Disease
A new disease has made its appear
ance among the sheep of Northern
Wyoming and the state veterinary sur
geon Dr M E Kuowles has been in
vestigating it The disease is said to
be fatal in three or four- days and is
known only by the name of ictero hae
maturia The seat of the ailment is in
the liver and Hdne3s and has been lit
tle known of before It is said to ba
contagicus and first obtained from in
fected soils Dr Knowles said The
disease is always fatal as far as I have
heard of a case Change of range is
the only sure preventive Exchange
Nebraska Calf Crop
A prominent stock journal reports
that The Nebraska calf crop for 1900
promises to be larger than the crop for
many years past About 80 per cent is
the present estimate This crop is
good half blood and better Very few
stockmen are breeding from scrub bulls
and it is being demonstrated every year
that it pays to get good bulls to main
tain and indrease the value of our herds
Good calves last fall from full blood
bulls brought around 20 per head and
in some instances more those from
common bulls all around 17 The
profits on a bunch of calves will more
than pay the additional cost of good
bulls over scrubs-
Will Discuss Arid Liuds
On April 18th the governors of the
western states will meet in Salt Lake
City to take some action on the arid
land question Referring to the matter
Governor Pdynter says If the gov
ernment should edde the lauds in Neb
raska to our state I feel confident our
legislature would make such laws-concerning
the disposition of them as would
protect the small stockmen the irriga
tion farmer and be of great benefit to
the entire state The revenues derived
from them could be used for the devel
opment of our western country and
certainly be decidedly for the best in
terests of our people J
