Brill & Osgood are to start new in
dustry in Miles City by way of expert
ment. That is canning beef The firm
have fifty or sixty barrels of beef ready
for cooking and canning as soon as the
cans arrive. There will be about 5000
cans of the beef put up for the home
market, and sold to the merchants at the
same price they can purchase from any
of the canned beef establishments. By
way of experiments, Messrs. Brill & Os-
good put up small quantity of beef in
home made cans, and it has turned out
bright, sweet, and very palatable, and
was preferred to that sold by the old-es-
tablished houses. We hope that Messrs.
Brill & Osgood will succeed in their
endeayors and add another, important
industry to those already established

There has probably never been time
in the history of thoroughbred cattle in
the United States, when they could be
purchased at such low figures as at the
present time. There is no reason now
why range cattle should not be bred to a
higher standard. The objection may be
advanced, that the higher bred stock will
not stand privation because it is not
invested with as much vitality as
natives. This objection is undoubtedly
to some extent we'll founded, as that is an
end that has not been sought by breeders
to any great extent up to the present
time. The man who produces an animal
especially adapted to the range, and
popular in the eastern markets will have
a fortune at his command. An animal
possessing the instincts of the Texas
COW, and the body Of nearly any Of the
high bred cattle barring the Jersey,
would very nearly meet the demand.
