] SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

Claude l.. Talbot, brand inspector at tH
stock yards for South Dakota and Wyoming,
seems to think that the number Of cattle
from these states will fall short this year
as compared with 1897. The shortage 10 es-
timated at Is, 900 head. 1t must be borne in
mind, however, that the shortage at this
point lies to some extent IN the fact that
more cattle have been sent direct to the feed
lots from the range than, ever before. These
cattle will thus come to this market in
the spring fattened and ready for slaughter.
Counting these anticipated arrivals the num-
Der received from the two states mentioned
will most likely equal II not exceed the re-
ceipts OF a year ago.. . :
Inspector Talbot Is Of the opinion that the
general quality OF the cattle received this
year is superior to that Of former seasons,
and this indicates that range owners are
breeding q better strain Of cattle. 1t is
stated that very few old scrub animals have
arrived from the northern ranges this sea-
son as compared with former years. Quite q
number of the big herds have been broken
up and big ranches in Wyoming and South
Dakota will soon be things of the past. Small
owners are getting hold Of the herds and the
tendency seems to be to raise a better arti-
Gle than under the old system.
