The Montana Democrat says tho CON-
paratively mild weather of the past week
has alleviated the suffering Of cattle to a
large extent, but it has BY no means re-
moved the danger of loss, as much of the
range is still covered with snow, rendering
food scarce. The full extent of damage
done by the cold snap oannot be definitely
determined until spring. Many cattle have
died. and many more will follow befo Q
spring. The most reliable information OBJ
|tainable places the average loss OF the state
ut % per cent, with tho heaviest percentage
In Fergus. Choteau and Dawson counties,
In many sections the losses were sxoesd-
inRly light, and this would seem to justify

this county will die before spring. under
ordinary circumstances There are q proat
many cattle with frozen fest.
