I'HE OMAHA DAluY BEL: FRIDAY. MARCH 24 1882 P A GREAY GRAZING GROUND. The Profitable Conditions of Oattle Raising in Montana, With a Wealth of Na- tive Cured Urasses. Some of the Oattle Kings of the Terri- tory and What They are Doing as Beef Producers, Tt is concoeded by every practioal and impartial observer that has been over the ground that Montana fur- nishes better facilities for stock rais- ing than any other section of the continent. The native grasses are more nutritious, either green or cur- ed, than any other known. Even in the higher altitudes stock may range and fatten thoughout the year. From the time the bunch grass springs up under the early showers, and glowing sun of May and develops to full ma- turity in June until the early July drouth curesit on the ground, itis a perfect paradise for stock, The val- }-ys and basins are adapted to grazing at all seasons, for even when the winter snows lie deep upon the ground native cattle follow the exam- ple of elk and deer and their own inborn instincts to nourish themselves on the natural product of the soil. A natural protection is also afforded stock against the winter winds by the bluffs that hem in the valleys of the streams and by the earthquake rents of the mountain and the coneless of the foot-hills. During the rambles of a representative of The Pioneer Press over the mountains and through the valleys of Montana last autumn he observed cattle everywhere and uni- versally sleek and fat. They seemed to require no care and apparently re- ceived but little attention from their owners—the brand alone being the only evidence of ownership obsery- able. Yet they were comparatively twme and tractable. This con- diticn of things was particularly mark- ed in the mountains, As late as the 1st of October hundreds of these cat- tle were tound chewing the end of contentment at an altitude of 9,000 feet above the level of the sea. High up in the mountains were beautiful parks and basins covered with a lux- uriaut growth of bunch and other ¢rasses, with trails leading to “‘salt licks” and streams of pure water from springs and melted snow. In pursuit of game which use the trails in com- mon with the cattle, one would on- counter herds of as fine looking stock as can be seen on the rich pastares of llinois at the same season of the year. The stock interests of Montana is but in its infancy, but the followimg figures, prepared by Major Mcllrath, of Miles City, for The New, York Times, will be instructive to the read- ers of The Pioneer Press: THE LARGEST MONTANA STOCK RAISERS are those i the Judith basin and the Sun river valley, in the oldest set- tled part of the territory. Here in eastern Montana the industry is, of course, new, and the figures rep- resenting it would make a small show- ing by the side of the statistics of that older community. I have been at some pains to ascertain for the readers of The Times the extent to|®nd profits ot the business. were sold for mutton to the Miles City community. At Spring Creek, fifty miles up 'ie Ton gue river, Bur fiend Brothers brought 5,000 sheep in Iast year, which they have succeeded in wintering thus far without any loss. Beyond that there are no large herds until the head waters of the Tongue are approached, which lie in Wyoming, and consequently do not relate to my theme. On the Yellow stone river there are as yet few herds of any dimensions this side of Big Horn river, though there are num- bers of ranches whose owners keep herds of from seventy-five to one hundred head. On Sweeney ocreek, thirty miles west of Miles City, a man named Le Petrie has 400 head of cattle. Further up J. C. Guy has about 70 head, nul& W. B. 8. Hig gins about 100. At Huntley there is a herd of about 800 head of catlle, and on a creek near that place Messrs. Poindexter & Orr have a herd of 6,000 head of cattle, Beyond that point there is nothing noteworthy in the cattle line until the Crow agency is reached, at Stilwater. where Tom Kent grazes about 1,200 head of cattle, Thence westward the herds are mostly owned in Bozeman, Nelson Story has 6,000 head of cattle ranging trom Lake Basin, through the valloys of the Sweet Grass, the Big Timber and the Little Timber. over a wido expante of country. Alfred Meyers & Brother have by000 head of stock cattle on Shiclds river, reaching to the Little and Big Timber and the Sweet Grass, Near the Shieids river # Mr, Grannis has 800 head of cattle; Mr. Lindley, 1,200; 8. P. Heron, 700; Wright Brothers, 1,000; William Anderson, 700. The foregoing com- prise all the herds of OATTLE ANDSHEEP IN EASTERN MONTANA of which I have been able to procure any data. Doubtless before another year has passed the figures will be much more formidable. Nearly all that I have enumerated were brought here during last year. Another in- teresting feature of the business which has not heretofore received newspaper recognition is the extent to which the cattle trade is benefited by the arrival of the railroad. Until within the past few months Montana cattle were driven either to the Mis- souri at Bismarck or to tome pointon the Union Pacific road by the tedious route across the Wyoming wilderness, Since the Northern Pacific road has reached the Yellowstone, cattle have been trans ported by that route for the supply of eastorn markets as follows: Messrs. Hobson & Sweet, after driving the herd all the way from the Judith basin to Miles City, shipped 1,200 head; Con Cohrs, 1,600; Martin Brothers, 2,000; Wright & Fratt,800, A. Samples, 1,200; Mr. Lindley, 300; Poindexter & Orr, 1,000; Meyers Brofhera, 3,000; Din Floury, 1,600, C. " Clark, 1,600; total, 14,000 head. This yoar, when the road has been built further westward, many, and probably all the large western Montana stock raisers who have herto- foro sought eastern outlet hy Wyoming trail, will avail themselves of the roadier fasilitios offered by a railroad running practically alongside of their ranges. I have dealt at such length upon the material condition of the stock industry in eastern Montana that I shall not be able to enter into particulars concerning the methods These which it has been development in the | *¥@ the details in which investors are Jast two years, and the following may chiefly interested.

About fifteen miles from the mouth of that stream Alfred Meyers & Brother have 3,000 head of beef cattle.

They have not fed at all during the winter. The same firm have also 3,000 head of sheep, which are likewise in excellent condition, and will bo shipped hence |4}, average profit in the territory on shortly to supply eastern tables with excellent mutton. The only loss dur- ing the past winter was one sheep. Meyers & Brother last year had the contract for Fort Keogh garrison with beef. They - issued 2,000 head to that post and also shipped 200 car loads east. About thirty-five miles from the mouth of Powder river, J. W. Strevell has betweon 400 and 500 head of stock cattle. Near the mouth of Mizpah creek, Perkins Rus- sell has 2,600 head of fine Merino sheep with thoroughbred rams, half Merino and half Cotswold. ~ His losses during the past winter have been less than fifteen head. Near the crossing of the Deadwood road a man named Selway, formerly of Beaverhead county, in western Mon- tana, has 3,000 head of sheep. Near the mouth of the Little Powder river the St. Joseph's stock company,a Mis- souri concern, which made 1ts appear- ance here last year,has between 3,000 and 4,000 h of cattle, From a g:;int seventy-five or 100 miles up the owder river, all the way to its source in Wyoming, the valley is extensivel stocked; but I have had no opportuni- ty yet of obtaining the names of the considerably orease of the herd is about 76 per cent, head, and Texas born cattle at from $14 to 16 per head. yearly increase of stock cattle is vari- ously estimated, the percentage vary- ing in different seasons, The average It may be uocu}ned as from 60 to 80 per cent on emale portion of the heard. The stock raising is computed at from 20 to 30 per cent per annum on the in- veatment.

The production is the measure of the profit in sheep raising a8 the sale of the wool, whioh is al® ways in eager demand, defrays the whole expense of maintaining the herd, and sometimes exceeds it to the extent of $1 or $1.26 per head. Sheep, therefore, begin to yield a revenue the first summer aftor they are driven upon & range, while a herd of oung cattle must be maintained at oust three years before any profit manifests itsolf. Itis ovident that l(u.ntflnu stook raising rests upon a solid basis as a legitimate field of en- Y | terprise, widely soparated from the character of wildeat speculation in owners nor the extent of their herds, the shipments from that region hay- ing heretofore been made over the Union Pacific railroad, This season it is believed, however, the traflic will avail itself of the greater facilities offered by the Northern Pacifip at this place. WEXT IN GEOGRAPHICAL ORDHR comes the Tongue river valloy, As. cending the stream from its mouth, the first herd of noteworthy dimen- sions is that of Brandenberg & Van (Gasken, who late this year handled from 1,200 to 1,600 head of cattle, Mr. Brandenberg also owns a herd of sheep, and in December and January last he shipped 6,000 head from Miles City to Chicago by the Northern Pa- cific railroad. The next herd is that of the well-known cattle-king, Con Cohrs, who has nearly 4,000 head here and about 6,000 head in western Montana. Messrs, Bcott & Hanks . have over 4,000 head of Texas further up the Tongue their range reaching clear over the Little Powder river.

Con- clusive evidenco is furnished of this in the readiiess with which the rich banking houses in Helena and Bozo- wan and Virginia City loan money to cattle men of their vicinity, There are numbers of stock raisers in that urt of the territory who can obtain rom the banks anywhere from $560,- 000 to $100,000 ut any moment, and o uo other security than their ewn personal obligations. ——— A Good Housewife A gooa housewife, when she is giving her house 1%s spring renovating, should bear in that t!w dear inmates of her house are more precious than mnu:ly houses, and that their systems need cleansing by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to revent and cure the diseases arising rom spring malaria and missma, and she must know that there is nothing that will do it 5o perfectly and sarely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best of iuedicines.—[Concord (N, Hg Patriot, ml7 .d( ey Off the Hool ‘Do you mean it, father!” Vivian Mahaffy looked steadily into head of sheep, one-half of which |[his father's face as he spoke these words —looked fairly and_fully imto the face of the keen-eyed old man whose petted idol he had been ‘since the days of his babyhood—those dreary, desolate days when the black pall of his young wife's death had fallen over the life of he who was now looking at his only child so sternly. Myrtle Severn had been his early love, and his only one, and as she lay in her coffin white and silent, never again to speak his name in the en- dearing tones that fell with such ten- der cadence upon his ear, never again to wind those soft arms around his neck and put up the little rosebud mouth to be kissed, he felt that there was naught in all the wide world that could ever make existence a pleasure to him again. But after she had been Iaid away to rest forever—planted with loving care in the little dell beyond the car barns, where the willows wave their spread- ing branches over the green-clad earth, and the soft breath of summer kisses into life the modest violet, the white-faced aster, a.d the blushing sunflower —and the nurse brought to | him the child in giving birth to which the mother had died, & change came over the strong-willed man, and from that moment the great love Aristides Mahaffy had borne his wife was trans- forred to the boy. Time had touched Aristides with refrigerating finger, and from the locks that were once a sun- nily-golden hue there peeped forth now and then a thread of silver gray —a tiny limestone on the pathway of life down which we all must travel, and ever and anon a twinge of gout in one of his base ball fingers would warn the old man that he was nearing the homestretch, and that ere many sum- mers had come and gone hemust leave the busy, rushing world forever, and be only an item in the books of the Probate Court.
