HIDES AND HORNS.
Mesa Free 1'resM: The new etock
bill which has become a lavr gives
the grower the right to kill three
head of cattle per year, or twenty
head sheep or goats for their own
use or sale, hut they are not allow
-fid to peddle the same in towns
where butchers are paying a
licence. The new law is very
lengthy, and was far from satisfac
tory to all interests, but it is con
sidered as improvement on the old
law.
Holbrook Argus: Messrs. Henry
Haley and Jack Caufman, two
well known ranchers from near
Williams, went up the country the
fore part of the week to purchase
catil.-?; tl;ey returned here last
evening and received eighty head
of steers from YV. J. Flake and
Will Gibson. They also - bought
several other small herds which
will be delivered to them here
about the 15th of next month.
Florence Blade: Because spine
less cacti contain in fattening
quantities both food and water for
cattle, the Santa Fe railroad will
begin at once exhaustive inquiry
into the practicability of planting
a portion of the .southwestern, de-
erts wiiti tnem. 10. this end an
agreement bus been concluded with
Dr. Arthur I). Houghton, of Los
Angeles, under the terms of which
he will at once begin a scientific
study of the situation. ''According
to official analysis," gays Dr.
Houghton, .speaking of the com
mercial 'possibilities of the cacti,
"the spinelt.i varieties' show a
percentage of nutriment next to
alfalfa. Spineless cactus is almo-t
as good as altalfa and the desert is
natural habitat. Water rots it in
propagation; all it needs is the lit
tle dew that falls of a. morning;,
and thus it furnishes abundantly
both food and water for cattle."
Prescott Courier: Joe Drew drov
in from the Walnut creek section
yesterday. He says the grass is
making a good shewing on Walnut
creek. The outlook, for crops, in
cluding the calf crop, is exceed
ingly - good. Mv. Drew says he
drove by S. C. Roger'-? place a ft w
days ago and found the old gentle
man so sick that he look him home
and he is now there and is 'quite
feeble. Mr. Drew says the roads
between Prescott, and Walnut
creek are passable but have some
very bad places in them. The
other side of the burnt ranch, west
of Prescott, Mr. Drtw's teams
bogged down and he had to unload
his wagon to get out. Another
team came along and the horses
sank so that only their backs and
necks were above, the mud. They
had to be dragged out by other
teams. Mr. Drew brought to Pres
cott with him three lion hides from
animals which he killed in the
Walnut creek section. One of
these hides has been sold to a Chi
cago drummer for $40.; An ex
ceptionally tine hide of one cat has
not been sold and will be hung up
in Joe Archambeau's place today.
During the recent floods Walnut
creek had a salt and tobacco
famine, and tobacco users com
menced to smoke yerba santa.

lent law with which to begin busi
ness and should have the co-

law will irn aii a better revenue for
the carrying on , the work, at 1 1
lea-t p 1 far ai the brand tax part '
of it is concerned. The direct cob ; i
lections by the board not only s
made a large amount of work for J
an office already jrowded with
clerical lalors, but was not so suc
cessful as the new plan will be, ac
cording to the ideas of those who
were instrumental in having the
law framed. There are numerous
improvements in the new law to
make the work of the board less
laborious and at the same time
will be conducive to better results.
The last two years found affairs
welt administered under the lead
ership of Mr. Sturges, and it was
largely due to his efforts that the
present law was passed in the
shape that it was. The new board
is on solid footing, therefore, and
the public expects good results to
be accomplished. The present
members are all practical cattle
men, as was the old board, person
ally interested in the great work
they have in hand.
