Excerpt from Cattle-Raising on the Plains of North America Gradually the boundaries of this desert were moved farther and farther westward through the energy and labor of the so-called pioneers, who drove back the Indians, killed the comparatively few wild beasts, lessened the number of buffaloes, plowed up the valleys and highlands, and built villages and towns. The new, fertile, and rich country thus developed was named The New West. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... Southern and tempdrate districts at two or less per cent. The annual cost'of herding the cattle, as I have shown in a previous chapter, is about seventy cents per head; adding the other expenses, such as taxes, loss of interest on the purchase-money of land, etc., we find that the entire annual expense is less than $1.50 per head. It takes a heifer-calf, say, three years to mature, and a steer-calf will be ready for the market in four years. The latter will then bring forty dollars; deducting the six dollars of expense for his rearing, we have a net profit of thirty-four dollars on each steer. Now let me illustrate the profits realized from one Texas cow, worth thirty dollars. In ten years she will have eight calves, which, if they are all steers, will have produced at the end of fourteen years $320, or a profit of $272. The cow herself still remains, and is worth about her original cost for the butcher. These figures are made without reference to any increase in the value of cattle or beef, and without reference to any improvement of the stock by crossing it with better blood. The next thing to consider is the natural increase of cattle. I will give my opinion first, and then state those of some of the most experienced cattlemen. I think that seventy-five or eighty per cent of the cows will drop one calf each every year, and that the mortality among these calves will be affected by the mildness or rigor of the climate. The loss of winter-born calves is very small in the Southern portion of the country, but increases as you go North. Therefore I conclude that, for breeding purposes, a more southerly located range is preferable. With the liberal use of bulls, which means at least one bull for every twenty-five cows, which should be strong...
Excerpt from Cattle In preparing this treatise for publication; the American editor has abridged it of the history of local and inferior breeds of cattle in England, in which the American farmer and amateur has no interest.

Excerpt from Wintering and Fattening Beef Cattle in North Carolina These statements in the main illustrate the conditions under which the work was carried on and why certain parts of it were so outlined and emphasized. Although much of this work will 'be of value to stock' growers in the Piedmont or lower mountain sections, its value is more pertinent to the mountain areas of the section shown in the outline map.

Excerpt from Mexico as a Market for Purebred Beef Cattle From the United States Something should be done to get the purebred stock of the United States before the Mexican ranchmen. It is impossible to take herds of bulls from one part of the State to the other to exhibit them. The railroad facilities are too limited, and it would be out of the question to drive them from place to place across the arid plains and mountains. It occurs to me that something might be done, perhaps under the patronage of Government, to establish an exhibition of purebred stock in Ciudad Juarez. From November to March the breeders could ship stock here where feeding would be comparatively cheap, since hay and grain delivered at El Paso or Juarez is at a nominal price. During the season I mention, the ranch men, many of them, visit the border, and more would come if such an exhibit existed to attract them. With an arrangement of this kind they could see the stock, could gain all the necessary information about it, and would. No doubt, when properly impressed, buy annually a sufficient number of bulls to give them a high class and heavy strain of range cattle.
