Cattle Hurried to Market

The rush of cattle to market from
the ranges is traceable very largely
to the presence of SO many new
comers. In the mad rush for land
almost wholly regardless of value
and location in many instances,
the over greedy land hunter has
gone into the very heart of the dry
range country, with the expecta-
ton, in all too many cases, of be-
coming wealthy in general agri-
culture. The fact that this man,
without irrigation, is going to be
terribly disappointed, does not
change the fact, that his presence
there, for the time he stays, means
death to the range business. If he
has located there to grow cattle or
sheep upon small scale, and by SO
doing, has done a thousand times
more sensibly than his plowing
neighbor, this still does not change
the result of his being there-the
heavy range man must 90.
And he is going and his cattle are
going too, and in many instances to
market whether fit for it or not.
From the Missouri to the Pacific,
this is the situation, in spots we
know to be very large ones from per-
sonal observation. We have inter-
viewed the owners of several long
trains of cattle lately, who gave
this as the sole reason why they
were on their way to market with
cattle Of all ages, most Of which
were wholly unfit for 1t. What ef-
feet this invasion of the range is
going to have, We cannot say, but
in our judgment the present in q
much better time to stock up with
cows and young stuff than it is to
unload them.-The Farmer.

Creamery for Donnybrook.

A meeting was held few days
ago at Barke & Weiman's hall to-
perfect an organization for the op-
ening of a creamery at Donnybrook.
The result of the first meeting was
successful in getting a good sup
port promised and another meeting
being called for Dec. IA at O'Clock.
No industry which could be in
stalled here will bring more ready
cash into the country than a sue
cessful creamery. The country is
especially adapted to dairying as
we'll as grain, and our farmers will
assuredly make no mistake if they
turn to cattle for their profitable
farm business. It means not that
once a year a crop will be ready
for market, but that every month
there will be check waiting for
the creamery patrons.
Every farmer within twenty miles
should see that he is represented
at the meeting. If you are too far
from the creamery to haul your own
product, you are not too far to be
represented in local skimming
station or to send your product by
joining with your neighbors in es-
tablishine a route.--Courier.
