ended say that three-fourths OF the
cattle in Western Nebraska, including
Cheyenne, Keith. and Lincoln Counties,
are still "hog fat" and have not had an
ounce of grain or hay. In the central
sand-hill counties the range during the

the lack of water, but the losses on that
account have not exceeded those of av-
