Stock Growers Journal MONTH"; For
the past two weeks all range reports
have drifted one way, which was to
the effect that the whole range coun-
try was much In need Of moisture.
Stockmsn who had Just fairly got thett
faces Strengthened out from the winter
scare, suffered relapse, and predic.
tiops were frequent to the feet that
unless we HAD rain soon and The warm
weather continued, grass would foil to
mature and cattle would be Glow to
take on fat. Thanks to an Almighty
Providence this will not be the case, for
last Monday the elements turned loose
and rain has fallen nearly every day
since then, While the downpour has
not been heavy 1t has come slowly,
with the result that the ground Ia
pretty well soaked and vegetation oil
all kinds has assumed vigorous hue.
From all parts OF the range comes the
Information that rain has fallen copi'
usIy, anu as q consequence stockmen
are feeling Jubilsnt.
