The stock Outlook.

Stockgrowers' Journal: Whatever
may be the prospects for other indus
tries in other parts of the country. the
outlook for the live stock business in
Montana at the present time is ex-
ceptionally bright. The winter so far
has been so mild and the range is in
such good condition that all kinds of
stock have been doing well, and it is
hardly possible that any hard weather
that may come now can do much dam
age. Cattle are fat for this season of
THE year, and are bound to go Through
the winter in fine shape. So far as it is
possible to Judge from present condi-
tions, there Is every reason to believe
that the coming year win be even bet
ter for the cabtlemen than the year
just now brought to a close. Had a
war with England been precipitated Il
is likely that the beef market would for
a time have been in "a rather democrat
lied condition. England takes a vast
amount of meat in a year from the
United States, and were this trade to
be suddenly stopped the result would
unquestionably be disastrous. Fontu-
nately the war scare has largely
abated. and III is not now regarded as
likely that there will be any serious
trouble growing out of the Venezuela
affair Without any serious disturb
ances intervening, cattlemen umdoubt-
d
good If not better than that of last
year
Horsemen, too, have every reason to
be hopeful, as the outlook for the horse
business is better than Ii has been for
years. The business of last year was
generally satisfactory, and a better de-
mand for all kinds of horses was no.
ficeable. The long period of depression
in this business is coming to an end
will 40
will be sold for something like what
they are worth. Too much care, how
ever. cannot be exercised by range
breeders in the selection of stock for
breeding purposes. The day OF the
scrub rs past. and the scrub OF 10 years
from now will be sold for a scrub price
If draft horses are preferred. go in for
heavy ones. as they bring a far better
price on the market. The 1900 pound
horse is no longer considered best
adapted for general utility purposes as
he once was. From l 800 pounds up are
the weights principally desired in a
horse for general purposes now. Mon
tana has plenty of good horses. and II
bound TO lead in this business. The
eastern farmer cannot begin to COM
pete with us in raising horses.
From present appearances the sheep
men will soon be on a rapid march to
the front again. The bill for an IN
crease of the revenue restores an aver
age duty OF eight cents per pound on
wool, and there Z hardly any doubt
but that the bill viii soon become a
law. In this event the rise in the value
OF sheep and wool will be as rapid as
was the decline a few years ago.
On the whole the Journal believes
that Montana is an especially favored
country and that a return to prosperity
is near at hand. The country has not
been boomed: we have no paupers
and the unusually heavy deposits in
our banks are a sure indication OF the
healthy financial condition OF the coun-
try.
