WHY the Prairies are Treeless.

Mr.. L. f. Ward gives in the Kansas
City ReUieaV some reasons why the
Western plains are destitute OF forests.
Where the annual rainfall exceeds
tWenty-four inches the absence of TO
rests is undoubtedly due to the re-
peated buTnings which take place on
the prairies from human agency.
Where the snnual rainfall ia below
twenty, OF perhaps tWenty-fouz in
ches, there can be no growth Of for
ests, and this is the true cause Of the
absence OF trees on the great plsins.
But this does not prevent the exis-
tence in arid regions Of certain specl-
allied types of arborescent vegsta-
ton. The sage brush that covers the
dresry wastes OF the Rocky Mountain
region. the Laramie Plains, the Bit
ter Greek valley and such vast areas
of the West while In its botanical
characters it ia little more than an
overgroWn weed, is 10 sll intenss and
purposes q tree, and olten sttains
great age. The region it occupies iE
even more arid than the great plainss
vet no fire occur and no forests grow.
In the nearly rsinlass areas OF ARK
iona. Southern Utah and New Mex
leo. and stretching eastward into
Texas, there occur number Of arb
crescent forms, the creosote bush
Uarrea Mexicana), the mesquit (Bro-
sopis Julifora) various acacias and
one yucca ". brevifolia), togetheE
With the tree cactus lCersus gigan-
teusl. These grow scattered ct great
distances from eacn other and rarely
forna thicksts or groves. Why nc
sucb characteristic species are found
occupying the great plains is not
known and it is probably more Roci-
dent that none happen TO exist, Ra-
spted both to their temperatures and
their arid condition. Did any s1eh
exist, tneIs seems no reason why
they mighi thrive as well as the sage
brush further west, or she nesquis OF
the south.

GRAND RAPIDS, WIS, THURSDAY MARCH 2, 1882

The best cattle ranges are in the hill
back from the river bottoms, the slop,
being covered with bunch grass, which
the winds keep clear of snow in tht
winter season, the Intervening canyon
furnishing shelter from storms, and in
exhaustible springs of water abouuding
! Here the hardy native cattle range
the whole year without expense OF
attention on the part of the owner, ex
cept at the annual Ground up" in the
spring for the purpose of branding the
calves. The only outlay necessary is
the construction of a log cabin for resi-.
dence and corral to hold the cattle
during the branding season. Cattle
raising has been for years the staple in,
dustry in western Montana, but is only
in its infancy In the Yellowstone Val
ley, although the requisite conditions
are even more favorable. 1t is COM
puted that there "a, $4,000 acres of ex-
cellent grazing land in this basin of the
Yellowstone. The ordinary profits OF
cattle raising is 80 per cent.
Two or three years from now the fer
tile valleys and grassy slopes where we
found these enormous herds feeding,
will be covered with domestic cattle
and sheep being fattened for the Chi
cagO market. There are no herding
ranges in the world that surpass the
country stretching between the Yellow
stone and the Missouri rivers. The four
requisites for successful and profitable
herding are found here in natural con-
dition of perfection, namely, grass,
water, shelter, and convenient trans
pOrtatiOn.
The buffalo grass is the most nutri-
tiOus upon which an animal eau be
fed, and cattle prefer it to clover; the
water is pure and plenty, the shelter of
these deep ranges and gorges is per-
fec, the buttes and ridges offering pro-
lection against storms that is not found
along the ranges of the southern terri
tories. But what is equally, if not
more important, is that
THE MARKET IS AT YOUR DOOR.
Glendive will be the great cattle mar
ket of the northwest. 1t will be what
Wichita has been to the southwest, with
better facilities for transportation. A
herdsman can drive his cattle into
Glendive in the morning, and at night
can see them shipped either by boat to
St. Louis or by rail to Chicago. The
time is about four days to Chicago by
rail, and about seven to st. Louis by
boat. Or he can send them to Duluth
and ship them to New York via the
lake and Buffalo, or to Europe
via the st. Lawrence and Montreals
He can put his cattle on the car.
at Glendive, reship them by boat at
Duluth, and have them in New York
almost as soon as they can reach St.
Louis by water via. the Yellowstone
and Missouri. The charges for trans
portation are very reasonable. be-
lieve the rate to Chicago on live stock
is IS cents per 100 pounds. Ranches
are aE7,,sII already springing up here, and
Washington Territory, Oregon, idaho,
and northwestern Montana, to take ad-
vantage of the superior grazing and the
facilities for transportation.
