wardens of the pool, to be on their
guard lest the murderer, whoever he
may be and from whatever village he

BETTER METHODS IN VOGUE.

The people of Wyoming are to be
congratulated upon the fact that stock
men have been convinced of the wis
dom Of giving their animals better
care. This better condition has been
brought about through the change
from large to small holdings. Ranch
barons living at luxurious eastern ho-
tells and club houses had no care for
their stock upon western ranges. It
was merely a matter of dollars and
cents with them and it is really a mat
ter of congratulation that their dollars
rapidly dwindled into cents and then
were dissipated entirely. Men who own
a few head of stock come to have a per
sonal liking for each and every animal
and the result is attention which re
duces loss to a minimum. Aside from
humanitarian considerations, it is
profitable to give stock good care in
winter. Nothing is lost thereby and
the animal is more quickly fitted for
market.
Speaking of this important question
Editor Thompson of the Denver News
says:
THE comparatively small loss of cat
tie and sheep during the extreme cold
weather and terrible billiards which
have prevailed for many weeks past in
Wyoming is a striking evidence of the
better methods which prevail in the
handling and care of stock.
Under the old, cruel system in vogue
only a few years age cattle were turn.
ed loose on the range and left to rustic
for themselves through the winter. re,
gardless Of fierce billiards., frozer
streams and storms that prevent.
ed access to grass or water. The COW.
boys in such seasons were nearly al
discharged, and those that remained
gathered around the blazing fire at the
home ranch, smoked their pipes, swap
ped stories and played cards. The pro.
prietors spent their winters in distant
cities, and communicated with theil
foremen by the wilderness mail. 1t was
the feudal system t~ransplanted from
ancient times.
Happily these conditions have I'M
dergone a radical change. The large
herds have nearly all disappeared, and
the ranchmen who occupy the valleys
and have made permanent homes
where they al cut hay and produce
alfalfa and grain, own nearly all the
cattle distributed over the state in
small herds. During the last decade
they have in addition to providing hay
and feed, erected barns and sheds tC
shelter their stock. During the severe
and stormy seasons they gather theiI
stock into pastures and sheltered
places where they can be fed and cared
for. The stock is improved in breed.
and becomes more and more domesti-
Gated. 1t is found that humanity pays:
that cruelty to animals is a losing bust
ness. Under the old conditions the
terrible winter through which we have
passed would have practically annihil-
ated the herds and bankrupted their
owners"

tie ten years ago where one perishes
now.
In u Judgment the great rush in the
spring will be not only for lands but
also for water. And the improvements
made throughout the state of home
ranches will be greater than for ten
years past. These developments in the
state will be among the benefits hat
will be derived from the severe win
ter.
The sheepmen who last year started
in to locate home ranches and Lease
