a nucleus herd of the longhorn
cuttle so that the species may be

time finding the animals.

once roamed the plains of the
Southwest in countless thousands,

I. onuhorns have been supplanted
as beef cattle by herds with thor
oughbred strains that attain great
er size and are more easily
handled.
The name, dogle, originated In
the vocabulary of the range und
although the cow-hands were wont
to put it Into their songs, the ref
erences tire mostly uncompli
mentary. This speeleH of cattle u
believed to have been of Spanish
origin. They multiplied rapidly on
the Texas plains during the .Civil
War when there was no outlet, and
their movement to northern mar
kets, after Ihe war, over long and
difficult trails, has became an out
standing part of the Soilthwcsf's
history. 1
The longhorns, when purchased, '
will be placed in the best pasture I
the Wichita preserve affords, shar- j
lug it with a herd of elk. j
