AT THE HOTELS.

Hon. Henry Feig, of Atwater, was at
the Clifton hotel yesterday. lie is more
or less interested in the agricultural in
duStrieS of the state, and he has taken
OCCASION to watch and keep posted upon
the possibilities and the probabilities of
the coming harvest. II am mighty glad
that this rain is falling" he said to
GLOBE reporter last evening. But it
can do little good for the crops of Kan
diyohi county. 1t comes too late. If the
farmers get haIf-crop they will do
more than most of them expect
The hot and dry weather has burned up
the wheat fields, and there is no saliva
ton now, but this rain may help out the
stock raisers. The pasturage. or grazing
heldS OF the state, cannot furnish nour-
ishment for the stock, and the business
must be failure without rain. This
rain, however, NAV start the grass
again, and the stock will then be we'll
provided for. Ii it does not, do not be
surprised If you have to pay 40 cents a
pound for butter Soon."
Colo. H. Gould is the live stock agent
for the Chicago, Burlington SNorthern
railroad, and he has headquarters at
Miles City, Mont. He is spending few
days i'll ST. Paul, and was at the Mer-
chants yesterday. The quality of the

son. The cattle look better. and they
are larger, and L want to say to you"
he added with that Montana pride that
Oft
Montana cattle are right they cannot
be matched i'll any country in the world.
The beef is the richest and the juiciest.
and the Armours will bear me out in
this claim. The, price is the best in the
market always. But what started out
to say was that the quality is con-
Stantly being improved. The cat
tic are mostly of the Texas variety, but
ShorthOrn and other bloods are being
mixed i'll until Montana can show the
best stock in the world. The beef from
Montana, to Illustrate the point that [
All trying to make, always brings the
highest price i'll the markets of the
world. The horses, too, are of superior
grade. 1t is all erroneous idea to sup
pose that the ranges of Montana only
raise UrOncOS and ponies. | tell you
that some OF the best draught horses in
IHlS country are DrSu ana raised III our
state. Then there are the thorough
brehs. Don't they run?. You have
noticed that some of them are making
the crack-a-jackS Of Kentucky put on
their hustling clothes. Besides, there
are many breeders i'll Montana that are
making a Speciality of breeding trotting
stock, and | give due warning that

says that he has some mighty promising
colts i'll hand this season. He is the

the Yellowstone with horses. He is
really one of the most successful horse
breeders in the state"
