Generally speaking, said a prominent cat
tlegrower yesterday to a Netcs reporter,
grass on the ranges in Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Nebraska is late, caused by the
cool days and nights. 1t is coming up
pretty well now, but it should have been
good grazing by this time. -Deauey Nelns.
At a meeting of the Northern New
Mexico S~tockgrowers' Association, held
last week in Ration, a resolution was
adopted requiring every member to put
one bull on the range for every twenty
heifer calves branded. The shortage of
bulls on the New Mexican ranges is
worrying the stockmen in that Territory.
This is the way the Drorers' Journal
talks: The stockmen of Cheyenne favor
the Bureau of Animal Industry Bill and
support it. They should not try to impute
d~ishonorable motives to Chicago stock
men who honestly differ in opinion. Chi
cago does not wish to rule Cheyenne, and
certainly does not propose to be ruled by
it"
Colorado will this year lead all the
States and Territories in the numbers of
cattle it will purchase and drive up from
the great feeding grounds of Texas. 1t
is estimated by those competent to know
that DOC, 900 head will be driven to Col
orado from Texas, besides $4,000 more
that will be shipped in from the Western
States and from Tennessee and Arkansas.
These numbers, added to the $50, 900 calf
crop of the present spring, will swell our
bovine family to 2, 900, OOO. -Denrer 7riJ-

The Southwestern Nebraska Cattle
growers association met at Brenkleman,
Neb.,, on Tuesday. Among other resolu-
tons adopted was one that all the mem.
bers of the Association shall gather all

the 18th day of November, and feed and
care for until the LIST of July; each man
to keep tally Of all brands so taken and
draw on the owner for the actual cost of
wintering. A committee of ten was APP
pointed to attend the meeting of the
National Stockgrowers' Association which
is to be held at St. Louis next fall.
A writer in the Billings Herald from
Greybull, Swcetwster county, this Terri
tory, says; 'The cattle in this vicinity
are looking well and the foremen are al
ready commencing to look up men for the
coming spring roundup. The crop of
calves here, from the present outlook,
will be something extraordinary. The
losses this winter are too small TO men
ton, only two cows, so far as we know,
having been seen dead; and the cattle that
are alive now will remain in that eondi-
ton, as the ice in the Greybull is break
ing up, and the Big Horn, into which it
empties, is completely broken up; so they
will o have plenty of water, the want
of which is the only thing that could
cause them to die"
