ends of Nebraska and Dakota, and the
whole of Southern Montana. 1t contains
more square miles than France; Wyo-

population of this great stamping

$4,000. Within its limits but
one n-Cheyenne-can count as
many as 10000 inhabitants. The develop
ment of the general resources of the range
has hardly yet begun. Of all its produc-
tons. seven-tenths move on hoofs. Its
actual governing power has for fifteen
years been the Wyoming Stockgrowers'
Association, und der whose advice stock
laws have been passed by the legislatures

and under whose control the stockmen's
herds have been annually gathered in.
Given 200, 900 unfenced square miles of
the earth's surface, on which range at will
10000 head of cattle, the property Of
thousands of men, and how may each
owner garner his own harvest of beef?
This is the grazier's problem on the north
ern range. 1t becomes the more perplex-
ing through the characteristics of the land,
which are mountain chains, broad, high
and long; hog-back foothills, forest COW
cred; mournful bad lands; sage-brush
plateaus; here and there fifty miles of
sandy Sahara and broad expanses Of bleak
plains. Streams of water are none too
plenteous; the climate is the cold
one of an average elevation of
5000 feet above the sea level. So
the stockmen's task of finding, gathering
and dividing the cattle is part of the old
struggle between men and wild nature.
And once more man, in his ingenuity, has
found ways to subjugate that ancient
enemy, and every summer he sets out, as
on pleasure bent, to reap the fruits of his
victory.
The Wyoming Cattle Growers Associa-
ton holds three days session in April Of
each year in the courthouse in Cheyenne.
While at these meetings officers are
elected and reports read from the presi-
sident, secretary and the territorial veter-
marian, the important work is the discus
sion of the plan for the annual
general roundup. The committee sub
hitting this plan bears in its make
up some resemblance to a council of
military commanders projecting the
moves of campaign. All the committee
men are thoroughly conversant with the
roundup duties, and from among them an
exact description may be got of every
mountain, valley, beach, divide and
stream in the vast range. The COM
mittee's report to the convention provides
for the operations, during several months,
of forty or fifty roundup parties, which,
setting out at prescribed duties on various
designated parts of the range, and con-
Meeting with one another at stated points,
ransack every square mile of the grazing
country in search of cattle. The roundup
arranged for, the convention is over.
Official supervision of the roundup now
passes into the hands of the state stock
commissioner.
Convention days are holidays in Chey-
enne. On the minds of the members as
body the formal proceedings weigh lightly
To few brainy and experienced men is
left the work, the many meanwhile sur
rendering themselves to the social enjoy
ments of an annual reunion. At the ses-
sions the debate is left to half dozen
members. A few others may speechify, but
the crowd is there to applaud loudly in
good fellowship. With the average stock

head the way they are driven. But ante
iope, gopher, deer, and occasionally cata-
mount, bear and buffalo may tempt the
cowboy to turn sportsman for the passing
hour.
About noon all the cattle on the days
grounds are gathered. They are held by
mounted boys in herds NUM- ering two
or three hundred each. Meantime the
pony herds have been driven up. The
tired little fellows that have been ridden
on the long mornings hunt are unsa1dled
and new mounts are taken by the men.
The separation of a general herd of cattle
into herds by ownership is called ''cut-
ting out" With grown-up and branded
animals the task of rendering his property
to each stockman interested is easy
enough, but in the case of young calves
ownership is often a nice matter to decide.
When herd is undlsturbed calf usually
runs at the side of it's mother and as she
is driven out of the bunch the little one
follows her. But if an unbranded calf is
found astray the question of whose it is
cannot be answered positively. In such a
case it is customary to award the calf-the
maverick" so called from a ranch owner
in Texas who abandoned all his cattle on
the range-to the owner of the largest
female herd in the locality.
In cutting out, experienced cowboys
ride slowly into a general herd, and,
selecting an animals of q certain brand,
gently drive it out to the guard line of
mounted cowboys, where it is taken in
charge by an awaiting horseman and
driven to a spot a few hundred yards
away. There, as the beginning of herd
of its brand, it is held by another cowboy.
