About Steel Rails.
A recent authority says, concern

A recent authority says, concern
ing the price of steel rails:
The low rates on steel for ex
port, it is said, will enable the Unit
ed States Steel corporation TO sell
steel under $40 ton in England, at
a profit, and put down rails there or
in Germany at from $17 to $40 a
ton and still make money on the
business.
Now in the United States the
price is $24 ton, and until recently
il was $28. The foreigner can buy
his steel rails for "a less ton than
the home consumer. and yet congress
refuses to cut down the tariff on
this product. Last year the Clark
and Moffett roads had TO contract
their rails in Europe, because they
could buy American rails there and
ship them back to the United States
cheaper than they could buy them
at home. This year they cant do
this. because $24 Is cheaper. by a
small margin, than reshipping, but
still tits higher by "a than foreigners
have to pay for the same thing.
Even the most avowed protection
ist would revolt, at paying more for
thing than the man in a foreign
land would have to, for the same
American made article.
Protection for such 'sinfant indus
tries" has long since been a delusion
and snare. It's only purpose is to
allow American trusts and monop.
olles to hold up the American peo.
pie, while the foreigner reaps the
benefit.

PROFITABLE INDUSTRY
Montana Feeding Yields Good Profits
IL Done Properly

~~~ "
IL Done Properly
On several occasions during the
past few years, the River Press has
suggested to northern Montana ranch
that feeding sheep and cattle for
the winter market would prove a
profitable undertaking. The good re-
suits derived from this industry In the
Yellowstone country were noted from
time to time. and 1t was submitted
that equally favorable returns could
be secured in northern Montana.
An experiment In tnis line has Just
been concluded near Chinook, the par
ticulars of which will be interesting
to those who may be inclined to en-
bark In such a venture. About the
end of last November, an outfit Of
about 1900 two and ~threeyear old
wethers was turned over to A. 8. Lob
man by c. H. Merrill, the agreement
being that their original cost and the
cost of care and feeding should be
charged against the market price Of
the outfit when loaded for shipment.
The average weight of the sheep when
feeding was begun was los pounds.
They were fed on alfalfa and wild
hay until January Is. a period Of
about seven weeks, and at the end of
that time their average weight was
1877 pounds-or a gain Of % pounds
per head. This was a larger gain than
is usual with that class of sheep
when fed on screenings, the increase
in the latter case being generally ten
pounds per head per month. They
consumed 1876 tons Of hay, which was
valued at $500 per ton, and the cost
of labor and i%ncidentals was about
$156 during the seven weeks Of feed
ing.
When these sheep were loaded al
Chinook last week, the Messrs. Lob
man and Merrill proceeded to effect
settlement under the terms Of theil
agreement, 1t vas found that the ne
profits of the experiment amounted Il
$772, of which each party receives
one-half.
As to the condition of these sheel
when loaded at Chinook q few day
ago, Mr.. Merrill informs the Rive
Press that three-fourth OF them wer
good enough to go on the market q
once and would probably sell at $4.5
! per cwt. at present quotations. TIL
remainder would put on the necessar
finish by a short feed on screenings.
This experiment proves that ther
: Is money in the feeding business l
