Record Stpckman The western
cattleman Is not worried very much
over the market situation. With his
ranch covered with havstacks and
enough feed ON the range To carry
every hopf of stock into the winter
fat enough TO Kill he cannot see amy
thing that even looks like disaster.
This applies especially 10 the Colo
rade cattleman 1t has been maav
years since the ranges were as good
and the beef that will be brought In
Denver this fall will he as GOOD as
the best cornied kind In the moup-
tain districts the cattle are now eat
ing the see off the various GRASSES
and II has exactly the same effect as
a. gram In the valleys enormous
crops pl hay grain and roots are he
ing harvested and if the market is
not night for the few feeding cattle
that may come in they can be- put
ON feed for the better markets Of the
winter and spring.
