prices at least very much lower than
they are now. Neither of these were
right.
From the start we noticed that all
the excitement was confined to politi.
cal journals-that butchers. stock.
growers and other journals took the
whole thing coolly, some only making
short note of the matter. Now. from
all we could gather, this meat was
taken fairly quickly at prices a little
below those prevailing on the coast
at that time. While some consumers
insisted that the meat was all the bet.
ter for being frozen, most dealers that
we talked with insisted it was in
ferlor. The whole shipment did not
affect the price of meat in San Fran
cisco but a very little, and that for
only very short time.
What we think may come of all this
and more OF it's of no great value
Tor our conclusions may be all wrong.
But really we do not believe even
should these shipments increase, and
it is almost certain they will, that it
is going to very greatly or seriously
affect our stock business. In the first
place, we are short Of meat, and our
meat packers are doubtless aware of
1t, and little competition will not
be bad for them from our standpoint.
Again, our population is increasing so
fast that we may really need little
help from the outside to keep meat
where the poor can have it at all,
Last, but not least, as with wool,
these importers are not going to give
all the profits to our consumers or
dealers, and already meats, both in
Austalia and the Argentine, are
showing distinct advance at the
prospect of better markets and prices
in the United States.
No, to our Montana and other stock.
men we would say all this importing
meat talk should not scare us a bit.
While it may at times slightly modify
prices, and possibly now and then
head off monopoly. in the long run
we do not believe it is going to per
ceptibly affect our meat-producingI
business.
English ships have for some time
been landing eggs, butter and beef 1T
British Columbia ports, but so far it |
is not hurting the cattle or poultry
business there. The prices Of all |
these articles were higher in Canada
when we were looking into the matter
there than they were here, but the
howl and scare about reciprocity were
so great at just that time no attention
was paid to facts and fig
ures, and we did not try to present
any.
NO. go right on breeding and feed
Ing for the very best Keep close
eye on producing economically, and
good profits from meat production are
bound to be ours for years to come.

Sheep on the Farm.

Husbandman: Sheep on a small
scale will probably be slower in ma
terializing in Montana than the other
branches of the livestock industry.
But while wool is going on the free
list, we really believe that ten years
hence will mark the existence of quite
a considerable number of farmers
keeping few sheep. In other days
sheep were kept as fertilizers and
taken to recuperate worn-out farms,
but this will not be the incentive in
Montana for the reason that our Mon
tana farms are not wearing out. We
are not going to wear them out, thanks
to our early discovery that we could
recuperate and build them up with
alfalfa. Before alfalfa was known it
was all right to talk sheep as a fer
tlllzer but today the sheep must stand
upon Its own bottom. The sheep is all
right as a weed scavenger, but he
must stand on his merits. Thomas
Dixon, of the Judith, has a small
bunch of sheep that sheared $2.17
worth of wool each this year and yet
wool would scarcely be the object of
the small grower. His prime object
would be mutton. We have never ad-
vanced the sheep on this plan because
OF the coyotes and dogs that might
pray upon the unkept flock. When
the country is thickly settled and we
have all kinds Of fences, woven, wire
fences and the like, it is possible it
would be all right to keep small
bunch of sheep to a capital advan-
tage. Anyhow, in such valleys as the
Bitter Root, where civilization is old
er than elsewhere in the state, sheep
are kept on a small scale by large
number of people. However, the
prime object is not the wool they pro-
duce, although care is taken to pro-
duce class of sheep that will share
a big fleece of high-priced wool and
the wool is an important item. The
chief object is mutton lamb that
will bring as much money as the or
dinary grown sheep in the next
springs market. This is secured with
and herein lies the promise of the in
dustry.

Two Points Of View.

Gotleb and his wife were driving
around their ample fields of wheat be-
fore harvest to see where the cutting
should begn.
Gotleb was somewhat of poetical
nature, and as he looked across the
waving sea of wheat heads that glis-
tened between him and the setting
sun, he remarked to his wife: "Just
look, Cathleen! It makes me think of
the piece the kids play on the grapha-
phone, Where the Sunset Turns the
