~T-" HE livestock situation m Utah
FOR the year OF 1905 has been a
most satisfactory one, state
meut that could not be tuthfully
made Of the year Of 1905 A great many
conditions obtaining IN this year. anl
not IN the previous year. have cor
trlbuted to TIC present good conditions
and better prospects.
In a general way the physical condi
tons have been ami are excellent and
The outlook is most encouraging. The
ranges are IN splendid condition. hester
than for some time. The grass ls more
abundant ana Of superior quality ow-
ing 10 the Increased moisture during
last winter ana spring.
This year has witnessed no losses
IN the way OF direct mortality as CON.
pared with other years. Toward the
closing Of the winter the severe storms
affected the conditions OF stock and
taxed their endurance ana vitality
This naturally had noticeable effect
on the increase OF cattle, There have
been fewer calves, and fewer lambs.
With reference to lambs the increase
may be said 10 have been somewhat
lower than the average. The same may
be said with reference to colts.
A SEVERE BLOW
The destruction OF the Utah Packing
plant by fire was not so severe blow
TO the live stock interests as was at
first thought. The blow was severe
enough as It created great dsappolnt-
ment among those who had fondly
looked forward to its completion and
active operation, But that time has
only been delayed.
In the early months Of 1905. because
OF a long period OF Inactivity, in cat
tie speculation, local spectators, feel
ing that this years movement would be
materially increased over former years,
began contracting for young steer
stuff in the months OF March and April, |

And. for time. il seemed as though
every young steer in the intermountain
country would be snapped up and sold
for eastern delivery before the spring
round up was concluded.
But just about this time, the packing
house agitation began TO stir things
up In the east and the eastern buyers
at once became apprehensiye Of
probably bad effect on the market for
finished cattle. AS result OF the
agitation and apprehension. the buyers
at once withdrew from the field and
with their withdrawal speculation OF
all sorts, here in the west, was a thing
of the past, Trading was not again
revived and the result has been that
a fewer number OF cattle have gone
out OF Utah 10 other ranges than have
been shipped In the past several years.
Prices at home have been lower, in
consequence, with light selling Of other
than fat stuff.
THE CAR SHORTAGE.
Another condition which has had an
effect to further restrict the ranchmans
annual output is the shortage of cars
they nave been up against. While
the coal dealers feel that they have a
roar coming because of a scarcity of
cars, and while the citizen shivers be-
cause he can not get coal, the ranch
man and the cattle dealer is also to be

So,cl0 Sheep Are Shipped From
Nevada.

In order to insure only healthy
stock being received in the middle
western packing centers as enforced
by the meat inspection laws, DR..
George S. Hickox of the government
inspection service, arrived in Reno
yesterday and announced that here
after all sheep that are sent out of
this state must be dipped before
shipment. This action will cause a
delay OF at least two weeks in ship
ping out the remainder OF the stock
that is scheduled to leave Nevada be-
fore winter. 1t means more: ii
means that the standard of stock
leaving this state will be higher and
more desirable; it will give to the
stock industry of this state an in
~centiye for cleanliness thus keeping
the animals at home free from dis
ease.
Three hundred cars of sheep hove
been deported from Nevada since the
first of September. Each car con.
tanned 300 sheep, making a total Of
10000 that are now in the packing
centers of the middle west. There
are several train loads awaiting trans
p~ortation still, but they will all have
to be dipped now before they are
sent east.-Journal.
