chased last fall. He has hay enough
to last a week longer and knows
where he can buy more if needed.

Stock Growers Journal: The last
three or four weeks of winter are
generally the cause Of anxiety to
stockmen, and the. conditions prevail
ing at the present time are no ex-
ception to the rule. While no live
stock losses of any consequence are
reported up to date the situation is
such as to IL apprehension should
a severe storm occur in this section
Of Montana.
The stocker problem for 81 bids
fair to become more troublesome
than it was last year. Texas cattle
owners seem to have the idea that
they can keep, fatten and market at
a profit the sane class Of cattle which
they heretofore sold us stockers for
northern ranges and they probably
can. At any rate they tack on an
additional figure and the northern
cattleman Il buy or not, just us he
chooses. These cattle will be hun
died at u profit in any event. This
seems to be the condition confronting
the northern buyer of stock cattle
this year.-M Miles City Journal.
