The Largest Ranch In the World.
Chicago Tlrbuno.
In the Panhatidlo of Toxas is
located the largest ranch in the
West and also in tho world . It
is known as the "X. I. T." tho
"Capitol Syndicate" or "Fare-
well" ranch and contains over
8000000 uctes of laud. It is
own principally by ex-Senator
Charles B. Farwell and his broth-
er John of Chicago and was ac-
quired by them about sixteen
years ago. At that timo the peo-
ple of Texas needed and desired
a capital building but no funds
wero obtainable with which to
erect one. There woro however
immense tracks of unoccupied
land in the State and tho legisla-
ture offered this olio to anybody
who would construct tho necess-
ary building. Mr. Farewell or-
ganized a syndicate in Chicago
and accepted tho offer . Now
their fine granite capitol is the
pride of Texas citizens and thous-
ands of thoroughbred Hereford
Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn
cattle roam over what was former-
ly wasto land .
The ranch lies in tho staked
plains. It has an altitude at its
northern extremity of 4700 feet
and at the southorn end of 2800.
Its greatest length is 200 miles.
Its average width is about 75
miles. It is situated in the ox-
trome northwestern corner of
Toxas and covers all or a portion
of nino different counties. Tho
state of Connecticut could
not contain it and it would cover
tho Statos of Rhode Island and
Dolawuro combined and then
lap over on adjoining States.

ant foremen and about 125 cow-
boys aro requisite for the work
unon it.
Thoro are 800 wolls upon tho
land and these in addition to
prairio lakes dry in tho rainless
seasons running streams and
resorvoirs built to conserve the
surface water afford drinking
wator for the stock The wolls
aro from 100 to -100 feet in depth.
They are unalVocted by drouth
and' have a constant flow of good
pure wator. Each woll when sup-
plied with a windmill and reserve
tank will furnish water for 500
head of stock. In tho su miner
time when there is not sulHciont
wind sometimes to run tho wind-
mills a gasoline engine is used to
run them.
Thoro aro only two towns upon
the ranch Channing and'lVxIino.
The main headquarters are at
Channing. There a daily record
of the rainfall temperature and
snowfall is kept. A telephone
system connects the headquarters
with every division and a stam-
pede or aiivthing that occuro out
of tho ordinary routine is known at
headquarters as noon an it hap-
pens. The top wire of the fence
is a telephone wire insulated at
the posts. When a gate is made
ill a fence two upright poles aro
on either Bido of it above tho
height of a load of hay or any
tall object that might pass through
it and tho wire is strotched over
these poles and down on the other
side of tho fence again. This oys-
tom of telephones is used on so
many isolatod ranches in tho
West connecting thorn with other
ranches and tho nearest towns.
To keop his telephone in working
order a man must keep his fonco
in repair.
Tho soil is a black fertile loam
and covered with buffalo mos-
quito and othor grasses which
euro upon their stoms in tho dry
seasons mid furnish pasturago
both Bntiiiner and winter. Cattlo
from tho ranch have token many
prizes in stock expositions
throughout the country. Ship-
ments are made in Chicago New
York and Europe. Tho herds
have gradually been enlarged and
iinprovod. Upon the small ranch-
es 00 to 05 per cont of the calves
front the Stock are branded each
year but upon the largo tracts
not so great a porcentago is ob-
tained as it is more diffcult to
shelter and protect them . The
only loss is a small per cont by
an occasional "norther" in tho
winter time. .
Tho day of tho largo ranchman
is passing away. It is found to
bo more profitable to do business
on a smallor scale in proportion
to tho outlay involvod. Since the
opening of Oklahoma the country
is being more thickly settled
lands have risen in value and
many of tho large ranches are be-
ing cut up into smaller ones.
The next in size to tho X I T
ure two ranches of 1000000 acres
each. Though the Fanvoll ranch
has boon utilized heretofore as
one vast body of laud a portion
of it is to be divided and sold.
Tho head foroman has charge of
the entire tract but there aro
many divisions of thousands of
acres each in charge ot "assistant
foreman or employes.
Tho cowboys keop fences in re
pair grease windmills look aftor
tho cattle often having to ride
long distances after straying
bunches assist in the roundups
uiid brand calves. When at work
on out laying portions of the land
a "chuck" wagon follows them
from place to placo with a cook
in chargo. It contains a com-
plete camping outfit and the men
take their meals upon the ground
around it. They often sleep for
weeks in the open air upon the
ground living constantly in tho
saddle during tho days. Bacon
coll'eo and Mexican beans aro tho
staplo articles of a cowboy's diet
varied sometimes by biscuits and
canned food. They become ex-
pert ropers riders and judges of
cattle. Sometimes one is promoted
to a position as foreman or loaves
to become owner of a small ranch.
Thoir average wages are $25 per
month and board with much high-
er salaries for tho foreman. The
head foreman upon the X I T
receives a salarypf $8500 .a year
with house rent tree and provis-
ions and medical attendance pro-
vided. The company has enormous
store houses at convenient points
and freight wagons to haul sup-
plies from the railroads.

TEXAS WOOLS.
Kcrrvlllc's Six Hundred Thousand
Pounds Roported to Have Sold at
15c the Highest for Years.
Boston :
The feature of interest in Texas
wools is the abnormally high prico
paid for the now fall wools at
Kerrville Texas whore last Sat-
urday 000000 pounds were sold
ut 15c. These wools will cost in
the neighborhood of 50c clean
landed. It is perhaps needlos3 to
say that this id the highest prico
paid in Texas for fall wools for
soveral years past. It is practic-
ally the same prico as was paid
for eight months' spring wools
this year and between tho fall
and tho spring wool there should
bo a difference of oight cents per
pound (clean basis). The high
prices realized on theso now fall
wools in Texas have stimulated a
better domund for spring wools in
this market and liberal sales of
tho latter have boon at 1020c.
for tho best eight months' cost-
ing closo to 58c clean. Tho
eight months' wool bring about
as much as the 12 months' as
they aro just as good for cortain
purposes. Sales of choicest 12
months' stock aro r--portod to
have been made hero at 55c
clean and somewhat bettor.
New York :
The movements of Toxas wools
has beon confined to a couplo of
fair-sized parcels. Soverul in-
quiries have beGn received for
spring and fall wool and a num-
ber of sample bags have gone
forth but tli is is as far as negot-
iations havo progresseJ. In
many cases buyor and seller are
too far apart in their prico views
to allow business to be done.
Six to eights months' wools are
held around 4850 cents and
soiin choice lott two cents or so
above l'ear's growth is hold
around J9(320 routs in tho grease.
Roports from Toxas in regard to
the new fall clip aro but a re-
petition of previous advices tell-
ing of stiff prices governing the
selling of the new wools; M14J
cents is tho average prico boing
paid for the new wools some
choice clips topping these figures.

As to tho price named in the
clipping from the Boston Report-
er as having beon paid for tho
Kerrville wools buyers and oth-
ers hero do not accopt it as cor-
rect believing the consideration
