Sheep for the North.

The British-American Rancho Co.
have bought out the Cochrane compa-
ny's lease on Bow river, and also their
band of horses. They intend putting
6 1000 sheep there this summer. The
Cochrane Rancho Co.. as is well known,
suffered very heavy losses in that coun-
try among their cattle, and the govern
ment, very rightly, we think, have
made an exception in their favor, so
that they may introduce sheepan have
an opportunity Of reversing their pre-
vious misfortunes. Mr.. w. d. Kerfoot
has beer appointed manager. We wish
the new company every success and feel
sure that they will meet with it, as al
most unlimited quantities of hay can be
cut in that vicinity at a comparatively
small expense, and if it should ever be
necessary, which we doubt, the sheer
will be fed all Winter.-Fort Macleod

Cattle Losses Up North.

Contradictory reports still continue to
come in concerning the losses among
cattle, and especially from the Pincher
creek district. Nothing much more
definite can now be ascertained until
after the roundup, even if it can be
known then, for we doubt whether the
great majority of stockmen know how
many cattle they had last fall within
several head. Of course those cattle
men who ride the range most during
the winter and spring months are in a
better position to give a nearly accurate
estimate than those who have either
been absent altogether or else have been
staying in the house. We are now as
sured by one of the former class that
the loss in the Pincher creek district
must be set down at ten per cent. In
one herd alone, which had particularly
good care, two per cent, which were
sure to die, were saved by feeding hay,
etc., and the loss in this same herd is
estimated at three or four per cent, that
is known of. The loss in another indi-
vidual herd is put down at about five or
six per cent. This would make a total
among cattle and horses in the Pll-
cher creek district alone of over 1000
head, or in other words, about $4,000
worth of stockport Macleod Gazette.

The Cattle Traffic.

The opening of new lines of commu-
nication between the plains and the At
lantic, says an exchange, bids fair to
bring about marked changes in'the cat
tie traffic. 1t is an open secret that the
Canadian Pacific intends to secure a
share of the trade. That it will get a
considerable part of that from the north
west seems not unlikely that it may
encroach upon that of the roads leading
from Nebraska and Kansas seems not
impossible, for II may not be fettered by
pool arrangements as roads in the states
are, but can GO in as a free lance. With
a very long haul and the most direct
and shortest route to Europe, with a
cool climate and plenty of ice, and with
no great amount Of rolling stock for
driving cattle, that road can we'll afford
to encourage in a most marked manner
the growth of the dressed meat traffic
on the plains. Should it undertake to
do this it will find much help in the ac-
tons of the trunk lines from Chicago
eastward, which have discouraged this
traffic because it tends to decrease the
volume of stock shipments. Another
powerful aid in turning the live stock
trade Of the plains from Chicago has
been found in the combination of cattle
buyers TO cOuJrOl tnlS UlafkeI to the
serious injury of the shipper. Still an
other HELPLESS important, perhaps, but
still effective-will be found in the
course taken by the Chicago live stock
brokers who joined the buyers of cattle
in their efforts t override the stockmen
in their demand for protection from con-
tagious diseases Of cattle. These facts,
coupled with the other fact that English
capital has no inconsiderable influence
now with the ranchmen, are enough TO
bring about a speedy and most marked
change which will no doubt profit the
stockman and the consumes perma-
nently.

Of both his legs, is familiar to all. A
subscription was made up for the young
man at Benton, Helena and other points

realized for his benefit. The portion OF
tie money not headed for his immediate
wants was invested in cattle, and as
they were cheap then it gave him about
seventy head, we believe, to start with.
