The scarcity of western cattle
and the high prices these cattle
bring when they are put on the
market is making the Colorado
man prosperous. For the past
five years the Colorado man has
been trying TO get rid of as much
stock as lie could, and as soon as
the cattle were in condition they
were sold. Last year the price of
cattle took a big jump and the
farmers cleaned out almost every
thing. The price of western beef
is as high now as 1t has been at
any time for wears and the de-
mand is greatly IN excess of the
supply. Last year the feeders of
Kansas lost a great deal OF money
in caring for southern feeders, the
cattle not taking on The flesh in

feeding. With the western cattle
