Pauperizing Cattle.

One of the religious papers, dealing
with the subject of mission work in the
Western States and Territories, draws
an illustration from the experience of
men who know all about cattle: In
New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming
Territory, and all along those lines Of
longitude, millions of cattle subsist
through all the winter seasons on the
native grass without being fed. The
cattle kings of Wyoming told me when
was laboring there that, from the Sc
verify of some of their winters, they lost
from three to five per cent. of their cat
tie. | asked why they did not keep
supply of hay to help the Weaklings
through. give them hay and they quit
work, and their example tends to demon
alize the herd-cheaper to let them die"
A friend of mine in Nevada, who had
stock ranch, told me once, in the Sc
verify of hard winter, he bought a
stack of hay to tide his weakly cattle
through cold snap. His supply of hay
was not at all adequate to the length of
the winter season, but would sustain
life till the snow should pass away and
allow the cattle access to the grass; but,
to his great disappointment, all the cat
tie admitted to the hay-staek lay down
by it as soon as they filled themselves.
Then when hunger returned they would
walk to the water-trough and drink, and
return to the hay-stack and eat. Thus
they spent their days till the hay was
all devoured, and there, one by one,
they lay down and died.
The next winter was alsovery severe,
and my friend saw that he was likely
again TO lose large number of cattle,
but, having learned lesson of wisdom
on the distribution of charity, he de-
termined to adopt different method;
so he procured a supply of hay, but
kept it entirely out of sight of the herd.
and during the very severe weather, he
had each cowboy sling two bundles
OF hay across his shoulder, and have
them hang down fore and aft of his
body, so as to attract the attention of
the cattle, and pass quietly among
them as they were scattered widely
over the plains, and when they found
one in a starving condition, just to lay
down little hay and pass on. In that
way he did not pauperize, but he did
vitalize and keep his needy cattle to
work on the line of self support. He
did not lose one that winter.
