There ae nj surplus cattle in the East or South and the supplvs
unite short here on the plains and throughout the corn belt whes
the feeders were unable last Fall to get the money to carry on their
usual finishing operations. The high prices of corn and hay last
Fall caused the farmers in the corn belt to sell their hay and corn
and their cattle. and to-day the females are bringing about as much
money as the steers and are hard to buy at any price. The day Of
cbeap corn is gone forever and our range fellows are beginning to
see the necessity Of putting up their own feed stuffs. 1t is the only
way out and is simple enough whom We consider the cheapness with
which we can grow alfalfa, barley, peas and stock beets, to sy
nothing of the thousands of tons of beet pulp turned out by thu
