An obscure advertisement touts Holstein cattle and Matador gear from Barnes X.M. It claims superior harness and feed, endorses Thornsy products, and markets a large Arizona Pan Handle ranch with claims of quality and fixed pricing.
Birchfield purchased nine tall thoroughbred bulls from the Glover ranch near Colorado City Texas and twenty five high grade bulls from Mr Anderson. Prices reached up to 450 per head for the young stock. Local ranchers expect range improvements and higher cattle quality in the Southwest within a year or two. Producers discuss feeding strategies including fattening steers weighing 1100 to 1250 pounds for export and beef markets, aiming for favorable returns and avoiding rough weather costs.
H J Ranner, famed cattleman with 7000 Herefords in northern Arizona, returns from a month on his herds in Arizona. He says the range is lush and forecasts 1905 to be a banner year for cattle and sheep in the Southwest if prices hold. He owns Phoenix and near Warrows interests and plans to resume business after brief city visit.
Phere praises young registered bulls as Brown of Marfa travels among breeders in Kansas City and Missouri to find two carloads. He notes high demand among cattle raisers, many fine herds, hospitable breeders, and widespread breeding farms in Kansas and nearby states, with supply nearly exhausted from this market activity.
Charles Robinson offers practical guidance from the world livestock market on when to feed and ship feeder cattle. He emphasizes timing by month, weight classes from 800 to 1400 pounds, and the strategy of short feeding to maximize profits, noting demand shifts in spring and fall and the role of lightweights in the trade.
W V White of Deming, a Kentucky native and former bank staffer, is slated for the Territory's Assistant Secretary and chief clerk post. He has lived in New Mexico for health reasons, worked as stenographer for Lana County District Attorney A W Pollard, and is a Republican. The appointment, reported by New Mex officials, pleases locals in Deming and reflects his readiness to assume duties.
For sale by owner line reads Bouulaire and En2 Commission in Silver City. Details are unclear from the fragment but indicate a property or item sale announcement with location. Potentially lists an offer status and location but lacks full specifics.
The article explains jury practices in Germany including eligibility, exemptions, and selection. It notes many are excluded from serving and describes the process of forming a verdict list, selecting thirty jurors, and how twelve are chosen for a case. It contrasts with France and mentions different majority rules for verdicts and the role of jurors in reaching decisions.
A fragment discusses whether London fog could be another phenomenon and mentions philologists debating its origin. It cites Skeat and notes how fog has been used to describe various mucky, bloated, or obscuring conditions before tracing etymology from Irish terms. The piece ends with a London Chronicle quote on honesty.
