ENCOURAGING CATTLE REPoRrs.
stockmen Report That the Winter
Loss Is Less Than Per Cent.


Very encouraging reports are re-
ceived as to the condition of cattle on
the great ranges of Western South
Dakota and if the beef trust inveStiga-
ton which is now in progress in Chi
cago results in prices of live cattle
getting back to where they formerly
were. very successful and profitable
season is anticipated by the stockmen.
Although 1t is the practice of the
cattlemen on the great ranges to turn
their animals loose in the fall to shift
for themselves over a vast country
losses from the winter storms are re-
ported to be unusually small. Cattle
men in the Leslie region report the
winter loss in that section as less
than l per cent. Cattle, too, are in
the best of condition, unlike last
spring, when they We're barely able to
move around after the snow had dis
appeared,
Reports from the Moreau river re-
gion are to the effect that cattle have
wintered we'll and that the winter
losses are not worth considering. In
the neighborhood of Stearns, on White
river, the loss will not be l per cent.
The cattle had an abundance OF feed
on the prairie all winter and start the
spring in good flesh.
The only nnfavorable report comes
from lower White river, in the eastern
portion of the great cattle range,
where animals We're started into the
winter in poor flesh and in region
where feed was short, but there the
losses are not great.
Meetings have been called by the
three principal stock associations OF
the state to arrange for the annual
spring round-ups, which are expected
to be much more thorough this spring
than ever before. Practically every
animal on the range will be rounded
up, chiefly because the cattlemen
are DESTROYS of complying with the
dipping regulations of the United
States department OF agriculture Tor
the stamping out of "scabies' in the
cattle herds.
