STILL WINTER THERE.
.aPange to North Covered With Ice
and Snow.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Hugh Babcock, who left several
days ago with a lot of cattle that he
drove onto his range on Half-breed
creek, about As miles north of Bill
ings, returned this morning. Accord
ing to the reports he brings con-
corning range conditions in that To-
cality the outlook is anything but
cheerful for the stockmen.
On the north slope of Bull noun
tain the ground is covered with a
glare of snow and ice, making it al
most impossible for cattle to get at
the grass. In addition to this many
calves + dying from the "scours,"
a disease that attacks them a day or
two after they are dropped. While
they are born apparently strong and
hardy they are taken with the ailment
within "a hours afterward and rare
ly survive longer than a few hours.
In the region about Roundup the
situation is even worse, if anything. j
Cattle are beginning to get thin and
weak, owing to the lack of feed that
has existed there for several months
because of the deep snow that fell ear
ly in the winter and is now crusted
with ice. The weather continues in
tensely cold and unless it moderates
very soon the losses promise to be
large. Already not a few dead cattle
are to be seen scattered over the
range.
So far Mr.. Babcock has been fortu-
nate to the extent that he lost none
of his old stock. His range is we'll
timbered in some parts and cattle
have no difficulty in obtaining all the
feed they need, as the growth Of
grass there was exceptionally high
and being sheltered by the trees, but
little snow has covered it.
