produce the larg~s be taken win, III
course more care must WIN
bunch ef sheep than wil.a nerd OF
steers, or rather, that is the fevaii
ing opinion among stoekmen one
range, when, in fact, if more care and
attention We're given the steers it
would be much more profitable than
it now is. In former times it seemed
to be necessary in the cattle business
to brand the animals, turn them out
on the range and probably not see
them again for year or possibly
two years.
This state of affairs 10 longer ex-
lists and to-day 1t requires man
with head to make the cattle bust
ness success. The industry is
grand one, but like all other lines of
business it must be carried on in
bnsiness-like manner to make it prof
table. With sheep it is entirely
different. Whenever man has
bunch of sheep he has at least one
herder and perhaps more who are
constantly with the sheep and keep a
close watch that every animal is well
cared for. If the flock is situated on
the remote plains so far from lines
of transportation that the mutton is
of little or no value, although such
circumstances are hardly conceivable
nowadays, and only the wool will pay
for transportation, then it is possible
that the steer may be the more prof
liable of the two because it is better
able to carry its own carcass to mar
ket.
But in any region of agricultural
development where feed and sheep
are practically grown in the same
place, it stands to reason that the
sheep must be the more profitable of
the two on account of the double
product The cattlenen may argue
that it requires as much feed to pro-
duce given value of mutton and
wool as it does of beef because some
thing can't be made out of nothing.
But the experienced feeders will re-
ply that different feed elements are
required to produce flesh from what
are required to produce fiber. The
sheep consumes so much of quality
of feed that the steer will not eat
that the difference in feeding is in
itself big item--J. d. Sheppard in

To Stop a National Leak.

Senator Warren says: 'The great
est national leak through which
golden treasures leave our shores is
the hole IN our income made by the
purchases of sugar and wool. We
can produce within this arid region
all the agricultural crops needed to
support the vast army of men to be
in the future employed in the devel-
opment of its mining interests. We
can find suitable ground upon which
to produce sugar beets enough to fur
nish all sugar the nation uses. We
can raise forage for all the sheep
necessary to produce the requisite
wool and mutton for all our needs,
by carefully gathering, storing and
applying all the surplus waters of
this country"

Our Senators.

Elsewhere will be found a letter
from our special Washington cores
pondent in which he treats of matters
of interest to Montana. The writer
is unstinted in his praise of the work
of our senators in behalf OF the In
dustries of this state. We wish here
to indorse his words of commenda-
ton for the strong and able fight
made by Senator Mantle in behalf of
the woolgrowers of this state. Mr..
Mantle rose to a great occasion. He
showed that he was broad enough in
his views to represent every interest.
Although from the greatest silver
camp in the west and in the world.
for that matter, he would not permit
local interests to warp his judgment
or narrow his vision, but stood man.
fully by one of the cardinal principles
of the Republican party. While sur
rendering none of his convictions on
the money question he still recog.
nized the benefits his state would
derive from protection and stood
faithfully by a large portion of his
constituents. For his Conscientious
and steadfast adherence to duty he
is entitled to the good will of every
citizen of Montana.
Had Congressman Hartman voted
for the tariff bill and remained at his
post in Washington to guard the
interests of his state, he might al
least have regained some of his former
prestige among those who would not
follow him in his w~anderings after
strange gods last fall.
Senator Carter needs no praise al
our hands. He has been cons antly
on duty since congress convened ant
whether in session or not he has la
bored zealously for the great indus
tries of this state, not one, but all O
them. Being close to the admins
tration he is in a position to secur'
just recognition of western interests
for which not only Montanians blu
the people of the great west general.
should feel truly grateful.

Another practice game of ball was
played at the Fair grounds Sunday,

While the picked nine was not as
strong as that OIL the previous Sun
day the regulars had all their own
men with the exception of Lyons
and in his place had Sailor. The
score for the first five innings was 16
to 2 in favor of the regulars. After
the fifth inning Little was exchanged
for Cummings in the box and Lyons
for Shugart behind the bat. At the
end of nine innings the score was
Increased to 80 to 3. The. regular
players put up a much better game
than at any previous time and conf
dence in their power to give the Belt
boys a good game for their money
was largely increased, though the
fact that II scores were made in the
eight innings while Cummings was in
the box does not speak well for his
work, or his support behind the bat.
Lumsden is a good pitcher and with
further practice with Shugart or
Lyons the battery will be all that is
desired. All the players are GER

cept that Lyons will play In center

will depend on the playing. Either
Smith or Cummings may be put in
the box and Lyons may take the
