AN ALL-THE-YEAR SEASON.
Range Cattle Industry Under
going a Change.
Chicago Drovers journal,

Chicago Drovers Journal.
The business methods of the
range cattle men are now in a state
of evolution that will result ultima.
| tly in an all-year season instead oil
the summer and fall season as
heretofore. This is evidenced by
the growing frequency of shipment is
to this market of western cattle d.
rect from the ranges of the north
west. Chicago has received more
of this class Of live stock during the
last three months than in any SINH
lar period since this market was
founded.
Several years ago this movement
began in Texas, when number of
cattlemen began to feed so as to
have something for market during
the winter and spring months. The
Texas cattle man looked further for
feed than his unmowed pasture; he
began to plant forage crops, which
were harvested to be fed in connec-
ton with more concentrated foods.
The idea was, primarily, to systema-
tie the work so as to ship to mar
ket at any time instead of limiting
the shipments to the months when
cattle were attended exclusively up
on green pasturage.
While the initiative wrs taken bv
the Texas cattle men, this movement
has spread rapidly to the western
and northwestern ranges, where
some corn and great quantities Of
hay and other roughage is grown
and harvested. The native grasses
of Mon tana and the Dakotas make
an ideal cured hay that is conceded
by some feeders to contain more
Dutritive properties even than the
clover hay of the corn belt, The
northwestern range country is one
Of unestimated richness, and with
resources fully developed tie cattle
man of that section will become an
important factor in the beef market
every month in the year.
Another reason why this evolu-
ton or progression is so rapid is
that the range cattle men are i'm
proving their herds by the purchase
OF pure-bred bulls or buying stock
cattle of q better grade than former
~. Last fall at the Minnesota state
fair nearly 300 head of pure-bred
Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford cat
tie were sold at auction, and the
bulk OF them went to the ranches Of
Minnesota, Montana and the Da-
kotas for the improvement of the
herds; the sales Of pure-breds have
continued up to the present time,
every sale, no matter where held,
having a good representation Of
range men.
b idaho shippers will soon be On
the market with alfalfa-fed cattle,
and Others will come from western
Montana. Thisiis manifestly more
profitable than feeding high.prieed
corn, and the rangeman is showing
his ocumen by shaping his business
50 as to meet the market at all
times. he is strictly init, so tc
speak, and the prediction made a
year ago that he would be one Of the
powers in the fancy cattle market is
very near fulfllment.

NEW MILFORD.
THE GREAT ENTERPRISE AT BULL s
BRIDGE.

THE GREAT ENTERPRISE AT BULL
BRIDGE.
People who have not visited Bulls
Bridge within the last few weeks have
little idea of the stupendous enter
prise launched there by the New Mil
| ford Power Co., who are preparing to
dam the HousatOnic at Bulls Fall, by
| constructing dam POO feet long and
20 feet high. The water is to be taken
through a canal, a distance of two
miles, where it will have a fall of 116
feet to the power house. The con-
tractor who has the dam .and canal is
D. G. Emmanuel, who now has some
thing like 300 men on the ground.
The work is in charge of superin-
tendent, L. I. Fletcher, a genial
impression locally. The chief engineer
is NJ. H. Marion. The canal is 80 feet
wide and 10 feet deep. A good part of
it has to be blasted out of solid rock.
1t is reported the company will spend
something like 81, 0OO,O 900 there, before
the work is completed, so the magni-
tude of the undertaking may be i'm
agined. From the power obtained by
the great canal and fall of water into
the power house. it is proposed to gen
crate electricity, which will be sold for
lIlouuIdOVul luS3 ACdUiuS dAO llS uOIuS
purposes. 1t is proposed to develop
at first something like 1000 horse
power. About 300 men, mostly italians,
and 100 horses are now engaged on the
contract. The Italians are quartered
in shanty 1OOx30 feet There is
store in connection with the settle
ment, where the Italians buy their
supplies. There are small huts near
the large shanty where the men do
their cooking. Another lodging house
l36Xl5 has been erected for the steam
drill men and stone maSonS who as a
rule do not care to flock with the
Italians. Mrs John Williams of Dan
bury conducts a private boarding
house for these men, furnishing
them their meals. The contractor
has also put up a building lOOx32 feet
to accommodate the horses, an Office
building and blacksmith shop. The
contractor has just finished the last of
mounting hosting cable across the
site of the dam. A Golfer tdam is now
in process of erection. A half dozen
steam drills are in operation on the
job. Edward Keifer of Ranksvil]e,
Pa, has the contract for furnishing
the horses used on the job F. B.
Fletcher, a brother of Superintendent
Fletcher, and Joseph Nilsson are the
timekeepers. Just who the men are
behind this great enterprise is not
definitely known, although they are
supposed to be New York capitalists.
Among the plumber is n. Fl. King. If
present indications count for anything
it looks as if the sleepy days for the
Bulls Bridge community are past.
