TIE CATTLE INDUSTRY \
Cattle shipment About Over Feeder,
Scarce and Iligl,-Conditiom of
the Range Good.


The cattle men throughout this part
of the Hills are being compelled to
take their cattle, or a part of them
down into Nebraska for the winter on
account of the shortness of the range
The rainfall has been so small for sew
eral seasons and the range overstocked
that the feed has been reduced to Il
minimum.
The shipment of cattle to the mar
ket from the northern range is about
over for this season. The snow storm
which came on last week caught quite
Il number of small lunches on the way
to Belle Fonrche for shipment, but no
special loss was sustained. Several of
the big outfits on the northern range
have sold out entirely, the good prices
prevailing being the incentive 1t is
estimated that ut least 100000 of cattle
have been shipped from this part of
South Dakota this fall and that con-
siderably more than half million dol
lars has been received for them. This
is nearly one-twelfth the output of the
gold mines of the Hills for the last lis
cal year. There WAS ii fight early in
the shipment to secure young cattle to
replace those put ON the market and
the price was higher than it had been
for Il number of years. The range is
very good and will be better as there is
but IL SNAIL per cent of cattle left on
the range.
Not for years have cattlemen received
such rcnrmerative figures fer stoci. and
it is the opinion of "a good many older
heads that the end of high prices is not
yet. Some anticipate a raise of a cent
on feeders before spring. and We be-
lieve that the institution of the indus
try at this time will bear them out in
their predictions The shortage be-
comes more and more appearant every
day. Heretofore it has been the Gus
of northern cattlemen to replenish
their herds from the southern ranges.
but this will be hard to do next year
from the fact that drouth and short
feed i'm Texas and Arizona has forced
them to clean up pretty we'll every
thing that was available, thus leaving
them short. The northern herds have
been trimmed up and sold down pretty
close which leaves them with but little
for next season, and where are they
going to get stock cattle? The ranges
will be better this winter than for Il
long time because there will be less
feeding on them. The shortage is real
and will he felt in earnest next spring.
