en route, when the cattle would scatter through the mountains, chapar- 

 ral, and mesquite, getting beyond the control and recovery of the herd- 

 ers 5 others, for want of sufficient pasturage along the narrow valleys, 

 would give out and have to be left. So by the time they reached their 

 respective localities their cattle had cost them 25 per cent, more than 

 original cost and a world of trouble and vexation. 



The cheapest and best mode of exportation of cattle from the eastern 

 or southern parts of this State is to drive them through to this place 

 (Monterey), and ship fspm here via the Mexican Kational Eailroad, on 

 account of the difficulties and uncertainties and expenses before stated. 

 They can reach Laredo, Tex., from Monterey in eighteen hours.

AN ENBBGETIO DAIKYMAN VTAIifTED. 



In conclusion I would state that, if some enterprising dairyman would 

 start the ball by bringing to market pure, rich milk and fresh, palatable 

 butter, it would creatie a taste among the people for these luxuries and 

 a crving demand before much time for goodly quantities of both.

STOCK-RAISING IN THE STATE OF NUEVO LEON, MEXICO. 



SUPPLEMENTAJtY llEPOBT BY OONSUL CAMPBELL, OF MONTEBBY. 



I have the honor to submit a supplement to my report on cattle in the 

 State of Nnevo Leon. 



In regard to cattle I have nothing more of interest to add to my former 

 report on this subject. 



This State is generally better adapted to raising sheep, goats, hogs, 

 -horses, mules, and asses.
