INADEQUATE RANGES.
One of the Troubles Encountered by New
Beginners.


All the national legislation so far had,
looking toward the protection OF the i'm
mense cattle interests of the country, has
so far failed in some important particu-
lars. There seems to be at the national
capital no intelligent comprehension of
the diverse interests of the range country.
Those desiring to embark in the bust
ness and especially those whose capital is
totally inadequate to their ambitious
schemes have got to learn the hopeless
ness, in a business point ofview, of buy
ing or leasing a ranch property with a few
water holes for the grazing Of herds re-
curing many times the area purchased or
leased. The idea that the herd can 'slop
over on their neighbor's land or on that
of the government is very nearly exploded
and the embryo cattle man who invests
his all in the cattle themselves and de-
ponds solely upon chance for a suitable
range upon which to Craze them will get
left every time and his ventures will prove
to be failures. To proposed companies or
individuals intending to embark in the
business the advice can be safely given:
reserve enough of your capital to buy or
lease a sufficient range for the cattle you
propose to place upon it. By so doing
you will avoid disappointment and posi-
bly, trouble with your neighbors.
