WESTERN RANGE BEEF COMING
into DEMAND IN The EAST
Demand for the Hardy Beef Steer Of the West
is Much Greater Than 1t was Ten Years
Ago.

Service to open hitherto, inaccessible
ranges by the construction of trails
and bridges, and unused arid ranges
by the development of water. In
these higher elevations the grass is
usually much finer in quality and
more nutritious, while the climate
is much more rigorous; both Of
which conditions result i'll the
ANIMALS being in better health and
having more solid flesh when placed
Oh the feeder markets in the fall
This fall has seen large numbeIs Of
the rangc-brcd steers, most Of VIII ch
come from the ranges within the
National Forests, topping the feeder
markets at all points where feeder
steers are sold.
So great has become the demand
for cattle of the quality mentioned
that hundreds of rtockmen through.
out the West are selling their bunch
es of stock cattle and are beginning
to handle the steer exclusively. On
the old ranges whore a few years
ago one was accustom to see lesrge
herds Of cows and calves, you will
find to-day equally large punches
made up entirely of steers, some OF
which may prehaps have come from
Old Mexico, some from Texas, while
Arizona and New Mexico usually
furnish their quota. The steers are
brought into these western ranges
at from eighteen months TO tw'
years old. They become acclimatec
the fret year, while in the SECOND
and third years they become suff1c
lentIy matured SO that they may b
taken to market.
The demand for cattle of thl
kind is greater than the supply, AM
as in all other cases where the de
mand is greater than the supply tn

" increase. That this il true q

Western beef is coming into it's
own. Not over a decade ago east
ern buyers purchased range-bred
steers only when they were unable
to fill their feed pens from other
sources, and usually offered much
lower price for this class of stock
than they were willing to pay fer
that secured from other places.
Experience has taught these buy.
ers, however, that western range
bred steers are usually in the very
best of health. They have a splen-
did frame upon which to build, are
we'll mnscled and boned, and being
accustomed to the rigors of the
western climate, continue TO put on
flesh in the EASTERN feed pens whtn
cattle from other sections, being ft d
under Identical conditions, are los.
ing flesh on account Of the incle-
ment weather conditions. This
western steer only demands that he
be given plenty of good fresh water
and sufficient feed so that he may
never be hungry and be will always
give good account of himself and
Nreturn many dollars in profits to thC
feeder when he is sold for the bloch
in the spring.
These steers shed early under
favorable conditions, and when they
have reached the stockyards they
\ pshow an exterior finish that othe
cattle, lacking the SAME health ant
ruggedness, fail TO show. Thl
makes the western steers sellers oil
the market, and after they hay
been butchered the percentage o
the weight of the dressed carcas
over that of other steers under tn

The settlement of the West

cattle to go higher and higher int

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 13-Out of

2l8 came from the Pacific North
west, which Is seven-tenths of one
per cent. OF this number, 65 are
credited TO Washington, So to
Oregon, 53 TO Montana and "a to

federal jobs at the capital. Not
withstanding the fact that the places
are supposed to be apportioned on
the basis of population, New Hamp-
shire, with one third the number of
residents found in Washington state,
has been able to put l44 persons in
TO different government positions.
Maryland, with prrcatically the same
population as the Evergreen State,
has obtained jobs for 2,192. The
total salary list of the 2s,947 EN-.
ployees is $5l, l,541, 225 a year, of
which residents of the Northwest
ern Ststes get Sa67, ,35l. This sug.
gests the conclusion that either the
people of this part of the country
are two well employed at home to
want jobs at the federal capital, OF
else our Representatives in congress

requirements but will be far cheaper
than wood ties, when the life Of the
