prompted to remark recently that
despite the fact that the JOURNAL

thousands. Even in Alberta,
where the climate is usually much
milder than in Montana and the
Canadian Northwest east, cattle
are perishing because of the deep
snow. 1t is impossible for them to
get at the grass. There should be
laws prohibiting man from keep
