Worse An Biaok HiIIs.

In the southern portion OF south Dakota
the reports are almost identical with those
coming from Nebraska. In the country
between the Black Hills and Pierre and
north Of Belle Fourche sheep and cattle
losses are going to be heavier than last
winter. The trouble was the lack OF feed.
Ranchmsn experienced very dry season
iast summer and were unable to secure
the usual quantity OF hay. In many To-
calities the grass was practically burned
I'D by the dry weather and heat, and
consequently there was no winter range.
During the last month cattle. sheep and
horses in large numbers have been ex-
listing by brousing on the dry sage brush.
Rsnchmen in many portions OF South
Dakota. north OF the Black Hills have
driven their herds to small towns along
the railroad. and there have been feed
ing them hay and grain shipped in.
Others have bought hay at as high ~
SIS 20 $40 per ton delivered. hauled Il TO
their ranches long distances from town
and there have fed their stock.

Last week at the general offices OF the

ascertain the exact condition Of affairs
IN the live stock area tributary to the
company lines in western Nebraska South
Dakota and Wyoming. Letters were sent
TO the agents requesting them and the
various live stock agents Throughout the
states named TO investigate and send in
their reports. The reports are now be-
ginning to arrive and they Indicate a
much better condition than was antici-
rsted.
Through the Nebraska live stock sec
s.on cattle have stood the recent long
spell Of cold weather much better than
elsewhere, probably due TO the fact that
al Of .ss@ ranchmen were well supplied
With Ray and most Of them had a fair
amount Of corn. As result the losses
have been very light. no heavier than In
former years. Throughout the sections
Of Nebraska covered by the reports cattle
In almost ever locality were provided
With warm shelter and feed. not being
turned loose upon the range. Through
Nebraska. or at least the portions which
the reports cover. the sheep industry has
never been pushed. and consequently
these animals are not raised In large
numbers However. those upon the
ranches Of the state are reported TO be
in good condition. the losses being about
the minimum.
