Market in Montana Pro-
nouneed Favorable.
The Former Glory Of tho Mon

Departing.
r....t wo.,l ouotations-rhe Tariff Bin
No Longer an Important Factor In
the Outlook.

There appears to be . general feeling Of
satisfaction among stockmen at the market
prospects for their Observation-Disclosures
pointing to somewhat better condition Of
affairs than existed year ago. Values
have improved to but small extent, but
matters seem to be in good shape to insure
a steady and healthy improvement, estab-
fishing reliable foundation upon which to
build anticipations for the future. Taking
into account the enormous numbers placed
on the market during the past six months,
saws the Montana Stockman, it is some
thing remarkable that values should have
maintained the level recorded from week to
week. and this fact would indicate de-
mand which will cause rapid Improvement
as soon az offerings are reduced. Cattle re-
oeipts at Chicago for the first six months of
the present year reached total of 1,663, $50
head, and an increase of 287,778 head over
the corresponding period of 1889.
A few Montana shipments will be made
early in the season, but several well-posted
stockmen have expressed the opinion that
the greater portion will be held back until
late in October and November. By that
time the market will have resumed nor
NAL condition with better prospects for
profits to shippers. A we'll known railroad
livestock agent estimates Montana's beef
output for the present year at from LOO, O0O
to 10000 head, depending upon the condi-
ton of the market. # prices are anything
like what are expected, herds in some parts
of the state will be shipped pretty close,
owing to short feed and other drawbacks
but If there is no profit in sight, many
owners will figure that they may just as well
hold over and take chances anyway.
The purchase Of 80 600 steers in Montana
during the past few weeks by Nels Morris
may be olassed as good omen for future
to $45 per head delivered at the shipping
points nearest the range. While any good
Montanas are cheap at these figures thu
purchase Of 80 large a lot by SO careful an
operator as Nels Morris assures one that
be has confidence in the future.

THE MONTANA RANGES.

The Glory of the Free Range Departing,
and . Change In Methods Necessary.
Gradually but surely the range industry
sees the days of it's glory depart. About
1884 it reached the zenith. and lowered
there about year or two, when the decline
set in, says the Rocky Mountain Husband
man. The first cause of this was the weak
ening of the market, but this was the sole
cause for short time only, for the feed
supply soon became serious problem. The
hard winter paralyzed the industry, SO to
speak. and our range stock-owners we're
long-faosd for years; and just as they we're
getting their herds back to the original
number, the dry weather set in, causing the
future to be filled with doubts and fore
holdings.
The settlement of Montana after the
dawn Of tho golden era was confined princi-
pally to the Beaverhead, Ruby, Jefferson,
Madison, Gallatin, Missouri and Deer
Lodge valleys. These valleys had come to
be pretty we'll stocked before the close of
the seventies, and the movement of herds
to the Yellowstone, Musselshell, Judith, Sun
river, Teton, Marias and other unsettled
ranges was commenced. These new valleys
were then the same paradise that their
earlier homes were in the sixties. But an
other decade has passed, and we find to-day
that the fencing Of the water courses, will
streams and their tributaries far upinto the
mountains is driving the range industry
still farther onto the frontier. Considera-
BILE stock is now moving to the Milk river
country, and when this is full they will re-
coil upon the Grow and Blackfeet reserva-
tions.
There is but little boubt that the days Of
successful range growing are we'll nigh
spent. The land owner is the man who is
to eventually own the country. The day is
not far distant when the owners of land
will be the only cattle growers of note in
the state, as the country will be network
of fencing. The production of stock will
increase under the new regime if the winter
problem is solved, and if not, many must
be sacrificed to quality. As the country
grows older, better breeds will take the
comes to winter feeding-an era fast ap-
proaching-the scrub must 80. When
nature furnished feed in un-
limited supply without the labor of
man, anything was good enough to own;
but with the new order of affairs our people
will not be slow to learn that it will pay
best to raise the best. When it comes to
base to river strand, dairy herds and small
bands of high grade cattle will be the rule.
We have been accustomed to the range
system SO long that we regret to see it de-
part, but it is the inevitable decree of civil
lzation that it must 90, and that too in a
few short years. But cattle-growlng in the
manner described-that is, upon states
principles remain as long as the sue
cesslon OF sunshine and storm renders our
state habitable, and will be fully as remu-
neratlve as the same industry ia In any por-
ton OF the continent
