The Great West

Occasionally ii is refreshing to turn our
thoughts to the significant tigureslthat Statisti-
clans collect to express the possibilities OF the
great West A Montana correspondent of the
New York TrtbtRe makes some statements re-
garding that Territory that certainly give
great promise of thrift when the country shall
be developed. As grazing region, he pro
nounces Montana to be without a superior, if
indeed it has an equal. The 4a.000000 acres
of grazing lands are covered principally with
nutritious BUNCH grass, which has proven far
better rs an all-thc-year diet than any of the
tame grasses in the East. This and other val
liable native grasses follow in thick, even car.
pets over hill and dale alike for hundreds OF
miles at stretch, curing IN the taultlcSs at
mospherc as they grow, tittenIng cattle and
sheep without other food even IN md-winter
and impartlng flavor to meats rarely found
where animals are stalled. No cattle, except
a few kept up in winter for dairy purposes, are
ever fed or sheltered The expense OF caring
for cattle in herds of 1000 and more is about
80 cents per head per annum. Including tax
es this makes a full $50 steer cost a total of SO
for care and feed" The bloated 1 per cent
bondh0lder can not compare with the man
who has enioyed the profits of well stocked
cattle ranch for five years. But sheep hus-
banding is also making very rapid progress.
Nine years ago there were no sheep in the Ter
rItory, and now over 100000 OF a remarkably
fine grade are grazing on the mountain ranges.
The export of wool in 1873 was 100000 lbs
The Territory also contains over 100000
acres of rich farming lands, and former sur
veyor-general estimates that there Is a strictly
agricultural tract here greater than the entire
area of Ohio. The middle West is becoming
a legion of dooryards in comparison with
these broad agricultural domains.

4 Good. Snciable Time.

Two men hailed each other from the Oppo-
tie banks of a stream, and exchanging greet
ngs, many friendly questions were put and an
,wered The men were evidently delighted to
meet each other and the only regret appeared

q Gasp and shake hands, the river not being
fordable on account o. its swlttness and
the rocky and treacherous nature OF its channel,
while the nearest bridge was five miles above.
Both men lamented these unfortunate circum-
stances very much, but at length way of get
ting over the difficulty was suggested to one
Of them, whose pet name was "BrOncho Bill"
