That the people Of the northwest

full examination of the last census
shows an increase of zoos per cent in

economically. The great plains OF the
Dakotas, covered with native prairie
grasses and the nutritious buffalo grass,
furnishes an ideal range for growing
young stock. Large numbers of calves
and yearlings are annually purchased
thru the southern and eastern states
and pastured thru the summer, making
quick and substantial gains. Two and
three year old cattle are often sold to
the butcher direct from the range, the
nature of the grass being such in the
fall of the year as to produce an ex-
Sheep also are extensively raised on
| the Dakota ranges, often going direct
to the stockyards in the fall, where
they are finished on screenings, from
the grain elevators and -four mills. The
practice of home feeding is on the In

short time before every rancher of any
considerable means will feed out his
