Bright Outlook for Range Cattle

Sinclair, Gillett & Co.. of Chic ago,
predict good range cattle markets this
year. Future cattle markets are al
ways a source of prolific speculation
and predicting a stiff range of values
for the coming western season may
excite derision at this juncture, but
after making a thorough and eXpen-
siye canvas of the native beef flushing
belt anent the number of cattle on feed
for the summer and fall markets, we
have been irreSistably led to the con-
clusion that the prospects for strong
prices for desirable western beef and
feeding cattle are extraordinarily good
say Sinclair, Gillett * Co., livestock
commission merchants of Chicago, in a
special letter to the Rosebud County
News, and they advise as follows;
While it is true that a vast number
OF native cattle were put on feed during
the recent advance, it is also fact
that these very same cattle are getting
closer to the shambles each day, and a
considerable portion of them will be
marketed in June, July aud August,
which will give western green good a
clearer field than they had last year.
Recent sales of range hay fed westerns
have ranged at S5,05, IS, 20, with tail
ends down to $3.50
We anticipate a scarcity of good
mature native beef during the late
summer and fall months, which will
necessitate buyers filling the bulk of
their orders with the good grades OF
western grassers. Make your beef
crop as good as your circumstances
and facilities will permit.
The coming season will undoubtedly
witness nh unprecedented demand for
western feeders at high prices. All
indications point to A heavy marketing
of short fed native sears during the
coming three months which will natur-
ally deplete corn belt feed lots and

On another page of this issue of the
News will be found an article giving a
brief outline of what has been accom-
plished in Billings during the past
year. Only a scintilla of what has
really been done. but it speaks well
for the energy, industry and concen-
tyated action Of the business men of
Billings and reminds us that, while we
cannot hope in SO short a time to make
so marked an advancement, we can,
with a corresponding amount Of appli-
cation, bring other people to realizing
sense Of the fact that Forsyth is on the
map of the great state of Montana, and
commands commercial position in
accordance with our natural resources.

The amount of interest the average
citizen Of Forsyth takes in matters that
are for the upbuilding Of the town was
made manifest Monday night by the
attendance at the meeting called for
the purpose of discussing a proposition
to establish public library in For

be meeting OF such vast enthusiasm
writeup of it and give Forsyth mighty
boost; but instead whenever the sub
ject is mentioned we are compelled to
pocket our hands, set our jaws and
expound on imaginary bright spots for
the future.

MoLAssEs AS STOCK FEED.

At all the sugar refining plants the
molasses has always been waste
product in large sense. 1t has been
used for fuel and for the making Of
roads, while endless quantities of it
have been dumped as garbage With
in a few years the value Of molasses as
a stock food has been developed, and
some very surprising results have been
obtained. 1t has been found that with
the heavy draft horses Of New York
city ration of ten or twelve pounds
Of mOlasses per day has effected a saw
ing Of % per cent in the cost of feed
ing such horses, with an added i'm
provement in the general health and
effectiveness Of the horse so fed. In
some parts of the south II was most sd-
vantageOusly fed to mules, reducing
the cost of their keep 80 per cent 1t is
now being used in the northern states
as mixer for ground alfalfa hay, max
ing an admirable dairy ration for the
milk COW. The best inventive genius Of
the country is at work on the utiliza-
ton Of its products with wonderful
success.

COST OF PREDICTION.

Economy in the production of farm
crops has been but little considered up
to this time. But few farmers know
what their crops cost them. They
draw on the latent fertility Of their
soils just as man draws on his ac-
count at the bank, only most Of them
forget to make deposits to draw
against. The manufacturer does differ
emily. He regards it as most vital
thing connected with the success of his
business to know just what his product
costs, and If there be any way where
by such cost of production may be re-
duced he very quickly avails himself Of
it. Some men raise corn at an expense
Of but Is cents bushel, while ii costs
some other men so cents. One man
will feed beef animal and make mon
ey on il; more feed cattle and lose mon
ey in SO doing. Ignorance Of the bust
ness lies at the bottom Of failures in
farming, because what one man does
another man could do If he only knew
how. More men want to know how
than ever before.

of the road is constantly built up little
by little and the desired oval form for
the highway secured; the road is per-
fectly smoothed; the travel, there be-
ing no ruts, is distributed over quite a
wide surface, impacting the little fresh
gumbo placed on top of the road. Aft
er few treatments the road begins to
take on perfect form and the rain Is
shed from it as water is from ducks
back. In year or two there is formed
a gumbO cement crown or crust over
the road from six inches to foot in
thickness, which is almost impervious
to water, and simply because the wa
ter cannot penetrate this crust the
road remains good.
The cost of such machine is not to
exceed 81. The cost to treat the high
way in the manner indicated is not to
exceed $3.50 per mile per year. Dirt
and gumbo roads SO treated last year
were firm and good roads this spring
when all other roads not treated were
almost impossible.
The secret Of the success of this
method lies in going over the road fire.
Quently, after every rain at least. This
prevents the road from getting bad
rather than repairing it after it is bad.
The formation Of this puddled cement
ed crust over the road secures distribu-
tion Of the travel over it's surface and
prevents the formation of ruts, which
are always the beginning of future
mudholes.
The most astounding results have
followed the adoption of this method
in Missouri. Whole neighborhoods have
taken it up and secured fine country
roads where before it was not possible
for them to be worse.
The plan prompts the farmer to make
his own drag and operate it on the
highway which borders his farm indie
pendent Of road tax or road boss, and
the rewards are SO pleasing that he re-
CARDS the work as q pleasure. Back
and forth over the road about twelve
times during the year does the work.
The first years work Is the hardest, as
most highways lack conformity to an
and the work is easier each succeeding
year.
One of the leading railways of Iowa
was so impressed with the practical
value of this new method of treating
the dirt roads that it organized good
roads campaign by which the people
on its line have been reached and the
method explained and practically dem
onstrated. The effort met with the
greatest encouragement, and at every
town visited large sums were sub
scribed by the business men to be Of
fered as prizes to the farmers who
would care for the roads under this
plan. 1t really looks as though a prac-
teal solution of the problem of max
ing a good earth road had been found
at last

A DIEEICULT CROP

We are asked about beans as a crop,
whether it pays to raise them as field
crop. We have grown several acres of
beans each year for the past five years,
valuing them as good orchard crop.
They will yield from ten to fifteen
bushels per acre and are one of the
most annoying and difficult crops to
harvest and get ready for market that
we know Of. A rainy spell after they
are pulled about spoils the crop. II
planted too early the weevil gets into
them and If too late the frost gets
them. We would advise no man to
grow beans on good corn land and not
to plant them at all unless one has a
piece of land which will not grow any
thing else.
