Show CORRESPOND ENLIE WAKE UPI MOUNT PLEASANT july 1887 editor deseret news in passing through the territory I 1 see sad sights in the shape of stock aock I 1 in n most of the cities and villages they have horses hardly large enough to gather their hay bay say nothing about any that should be sold to an eastern market we have now about horses and good ones would do all the labor required what could the others be sold fw by the drove they have sold from 15 loto to 35 but the market is ie glutted at that we have the best climate in the world to produce a good horse everything bein being equal that is to say that you must have have the breeds our little horses need not be given away but they can be bred up get large sires horses weigh weighing I 1 i from 1590 to 2000 pounds and I 1 will promise you that you yon will soon nave have something to sell and something that you can get money for go to the large cities east and and see what kind of horses they use and you will find them large ones odes in fact they carnot cannot get them big enough new york city uses up FORTY THOUSAND HORSES every year it takes sixteen thousand horses harnessed all at once to move the street cars besides what they have resting and on the sick list look at the L LC C lee horse and others that will show you what climate will do when you have the blood now I 1 imagine a that I 1 hear some one saying kine your oar plan of breeding to so large large horses will not do to them I 1 will say take a little money go to che cheyenne enne and visit post rauch ranch and you ditl see practically what I 1 have contended for these many years ho how W is it with cattle even worse A few stockmen stoc kmen have gone east and purchased good are improving but how is it with the farmers and city people their cows cowa are neither good for milk nor beef there arenow are new about cows called cows and are being kept up for that purpose here in sanpete San pete and the hotels in salt lake have to SEND TO california for butter both for quantity and q ity from all I 1 could gather I 1 do not he believe that one hundred barrels of butter Is sold out of utah in a day why do the people not form stock companies and start in each etla dettlo ment at least one dairy where the milk could be gathered night and morning and made into butter and cheese fit to cat breed these cows to milk breeds of cattle by so do ingin a few yeats years they would have something worth having but the masses seem asleep and when they will wake up to their own inte interests I 1 am unable to guess there is ground around enough in almost any city going to waste where feed enough could be produced to keep one good GOW cow in holland the cows give from six to twelve gallons of milk here they rive give from one quart to three gallons only a very few of the latter there are plenty of goats in Swit switzerland terland that produce more tefan these poor starved creatures do ask them why they do not improve they will poat to some halfbreed half halt breed calf that some peddler has sold them with a bogus pedigree I 1 know of one settlement witti with twelve hundred huddled cows up milking that purchased one yearling holstein Holst eln calf at that rate of improving they will probably have some fine stock sock when the millennium M COMES this ruinous vis not alone pursued in horses and cattle but in 14 hogs bogs turkey and chickens most of tife hogs are of the razor breed back and snout being very sharp lodged in a muddy pen fed one day starved the next so as to make a streak of lean vad ind a streak of fat I 1 suppose instead of putting a ring in ia the nose and turning them into a lucern patch aud and feeding them a little besides now the farmer is astride my neck beek again he tells me that it will not pay to raise pork nobody will purchase it it cannot be raised raise to a profit let us see how bow is it that the eastern farmer can produce hogs at four to five cents a pound let us see ee what you do you raise wheat and sell ell it at 40 to 60 cents but you have never sold enough wheat any single year yet out of the territory to pay for the pork that has been imported five fie hundred thou thousand band dollars annually are sent out of this territory tor for pork alone and the most wheat the terr territory has ever sold was four hundred thousand band lacking one hundred thousand thou sund dollars that had bad to be cald paid out of other resources for the bacon well but says one 1 I raised a few hogs last year and cured to the best of m my knowledge knowledg e and I 1 could not sell it 1 well it if it was cured as some was cured that I 1 have had bad to eat since I 1 left home no w 9 n I 1 saw a lot that was trimmed and nd cured that I 1 think a plute plate indian would have improved on if you do not know how to trim a ham get beet someone that does or buy a ham from the store and look at it and trim accordi accordingly n gly cacavas it and treat it as they do i in n the east cast what else do we do well we send for CARLOADS CAR LOADS OF PICKLES carloads car loads of tomatoes carloads car loads of canned corn carloads car loads of f ruit fruit of an inferior quality we buy all these things because it does not pay and let our children grow up in idleness while we employ eastern people to put up all these things for us it will not pay to raise turkeys and chickens but it to bring them every winter from the east to sup supply stav y the market of the big cities in utah were it not for the sheep men I 1 do not know what donld become 0 of utah now somebody else kicks alia aha I 1 you are in with the s sheep heep in men eu a ace r e you truth is truth T they hey h have ave improved their opol clip f from to t three pounds to eigl eight it ind and ten their to mutton from 85 35 pounds to 80 and 90 they the will bring into utah two mili lons millions of dollars in wool alone this year besides several hundred thousands of dollars for sent out why not stand in with them it is my opinion that if we had bad a sheep for every scrub horse or head of cattle we would be better off than we are now but we go on from year to year WASTING WANTING and complaining of hard bard Umea cursing our hard luck and sending our money out instead of sending out our manufactured shoes and boots our eur canned fruits pickles corn bacon and other things whose business is it to do these things yours unite cooper co oper ate form stock companies do the business ona on a businesslike business like principle do not wait for the rich man to come forward and make himself richer but raise the means from your resources and get wealthy yourselves let us wake up I 1 yours H J FAUST |
