Cattlemen report that already the
shipment Of cattle has begun and that it
will rapidly increase from now on.
This is something unusual as cattle ship,
ments generally begin a good deal later
in the season. The reason for the early
shipments is, according to the cattlemen,
for two reasons, the good prices for beef
and the extra quality of the beef from
the ranges this year. The plentiful
rains have kept the grass sweet and nu-
tritous and the cattle have thrived won
derfully well upon 1t. The shipments
from the ranges Of South Dakota which
usually run up to from Sl5,00o,o 900 to
$~25,0O0,000 annually, will be largely in
creased this year.-Pioneer.

Farmers and miners are alike COM
planning of shortage Of rain to meet
existing requirements, The crops are
in some cases dried up beyond all hope
of recovery, while in other cases an
early rain would save them. The
streams which a few weeks ago were
running an ample supply of water for
all purposes are now almost entirely
dried up, and as a result, sluicing in
many places is made impossible.
