1866 pounds, a hundred and six pounds
more than the last bunch. They were
under the charge Of Charles Gallagher.
2. It seems that we, in the Bad Lands.
are far more blessed with rain and grass
than farther west. It has been found
nearly impossible to put up hay near
Miles City and the supply for that point
will probably come from the prairie east

& The Bad Lands Cattle Co are greatly
pleased over their abundant calf crop.
It will run about seventy-fiye per cent:
and Is the largest increase on the river.
Next year, however, we look for this per
cent. to be the average increase on the
whole river. n .ssas B 81 4.
The Chicago cattle market as will be
seen by our report, shows an upward ten
dency on fair to prime classes Of cattle,
of20 @ 35c. Texas cattle advanced 10
q 15c. Over 1900 Texans were ship
ped ints Chicag last week. OF all class
es Of cattle, 37,397 found q market in
Chicago. The tendency is toward a
stronger and upward market. IS.
Gen. ,Brisbin recently wrote an article
for the Salt Lake Tribune, the substance
Of which should be deeply engraved in
every covenants heart. It costs no more
on the range to take care of or raise q
hundred dollar animal than It does one
worth forty dollars. Except for the
original cost the profit Is vastly on the
side Of the man who raises high-grade or
full-blooded cattle.
II THO second annual roundup Of this
district came to a close at Mingusville
Monday morning. The estimate Of the
calf crop at sixty per cent. Isl If any
thing, too high. On the whole, the
roundup was success, although, on
account Of the difficulty Of working the
Bad Landsit is impossible to get the
satisfactory results obtainable on more
open ranges. ~ s::53i s:3si
Some stock raisers are In the habit Of
branding calves that belong to their
friends, particularly il the friends are
