The Judith Basin this wear has been

The Judith Basin this year has been
especially favored when compared with
other localities. The rainfall has been
larger, the grass better aud the range
less overstocked than farther east The
snowfall has been slight so far and the
weather mild. The cattle are fat and
prepared to stand severe winter. Unless
there should be a deep covering Of snow,
followed by heavy storms in the spring,
the loss will be slight. The Judith coun-
try is better protected from wind than
the prairie ranges to the east OF 1t, be
cause of the mountains and timber. Be
sides numerous small herds, the basin
pastures several bands of from five to
seven thousand in number.-Helena
