GETTING READY 70 QUIT CATTLE.
Many Think the High Water Mark Has
Kea

With the statements of the different
stock papers as authority. many stockmen
think the high water price for cattle
Tor number Of years has been reached
or Will be reached the coming year. and
there Will be Il general closing out
on the many ranges. In most of these
cases the men who have been handling
stock will turn their attention to sheep.
1t is stated that large ranges i'll Arizona,
New Mexico and Wyoming, which have
been given up to cattle. will be cleared
and sheep put on in their place. This
means that the ranges which will stick to
cattle viii receive Il large number of new
cattle from the sections which will be
stocked with sheep. Besides the reason
of the probable reduction of prices, which
are being given for cleaning up, il is also
gwen out that the small rii>crs are crowd
ing til" large ranges more and more every
year, and that the cattle industry will be
forced to break up the large herds. and
90 into til" hands of the small rasers,
and that sheep will not require tie same
amount of ground to range over as is re
quired for cattle TAis last reason is
making its..:f ieit on the Western Dako-
III ranges, and many of the large herds
are being broken up this year. These
facts will probably result in the same CON
dition which prevailed about seven years
ago, when the country went wild over

cattle went down accOrlinIiy
