perity depends more upon the ele-
ments than in the wisdom anfinge,riity
Of man. No more natural thing gould
suggest itself than that the domestic
animals should succeed the buffalo, elk
and deer, on our grassy plains and
foothills ami, after being scclimate,l,
flourish and multiply as prolifically.
The cattle business has been wonder
fully remunerative during the past five
years; prices have remained firm, at IA
good figure and while they dropped
slightly near the close Of this shipping
season, there are no fears Of lower
tendency for the future. Beef is the
staple meet food of the world and its
consumption is constantly on the in
crease. :.
The winter Of 1856, thus far has
been most remarkable-a glorious one
for stock as well AS mankind. Cattle,
instead Of losing flesh, are constantly
gaining, and are in prime, marketable
shape, in this region. At present there
is some danger Of suffering for lack Of
water where cattle are ranging remote
from the large, swift-running streams.
The stagnant pools and springs have
recently frozen over, and the ranges
are mostly bare of snow. This condi-
ton, however, may not last long, when
the bright outlook for our cattle men
will again be renewed.
There are two things that cattle men
dread--severe weather and the County
Assessor. Their bands are always u
little larger just after the latter has
been around and little smaller after
severe siege Of the former. They are
about rs shy Of newspaper men as
they are Of the assessor, consequently
1t is n difficult matter to ascertain from
them the correct number Of head they
own-and in fact they do not always
know themselves. Owing to these OBJ
stacles and u pressure of business, we
have been unable to secure the names
Of all of the cattle men in Fergus
county or to ascertain, even approx
mately, the number Of cattle they are
credited with. But we have ascer-
tained the names and number of heads
Of the principal growers in this immc-
date vicinity. The figures may be
high on some bands and low on others;
if so, we will gladly make corrections,
for future reference and information.
