Investors would prefer irrigated sections where the land was well oc cupied by an industrious people, for instance such locations as the west ern end of Milk River valley in the vicinity of Chinook, the eastern end of the same \alley in the vicinity of Hinsdale are ideal locations. and would afford each station along the entire valley to profit by the erection of a factory. The Gallatin in the vicinity of Bozeman, the Yellowstone in the vicinity of Billings. the Bitter Root in the vicinity of Stephensville are all ideal locations with sufficient ara of irrigated land nearby, fuel. rnd lime. land occupted. much of this land would be divided and farms would become smaller and much more profitable. It was felt by the last sesion of our legislature some encouragement should be held out to establish this industry in Montana and a bill pass. edl both houses but was vetoed. Before a success could be made of any factory a much denser population is necessary even in those portions of Montana now thought to be thick ly settled. 440 to 80 acre farms would prove ample and more profitable than much larger ones under the present condition.

THE INDUSTRY IS CHANGING A Gradual Reduction in the Size of But Increase in Number of Owners. (.Montana Correspondent to the Amer iean Sheep Breeder.) While disappointing in a way, the year just passed has not been a dis astrous one to sheepmen in Montana. The fact is that Montana woolgroweis are in good condition. While no fig tires will be available for nearly two months. it is estimated by the secro tary of the state board of Sheep Com missioners that the outtput of wool in this state during 19113 was in the neighborhood of 33,.IlIIItllll pounds or a trifle less. It will not average up to last year. however. The quality of Montana wool is recognized as super ior and it invariably brings a better price than that of any other nort. western state. The wool is each year growing finer and cleaner and the quality is growing better. With the iinpro'\oment of the grades of sheep, by thei introdunction of better blooded rams into the flocks, the standard of woo{l is gradually growing higher. The disappointing feature of the business during 19(03 was the price of sheep. At no time during the year do the sheepmen feel that their ani mals sold for what they were really worth. The price of mutton in Mon tana did not follow the price of woo,. Usually the two are said to hold to gether pretty well. but 1903 was an exceptional year in that respect. Had the prices of mutton been sat Isfactory there would have been a much greater movement of sheep to market from this state last fall an I during the early winter, notwithstand" Ing the fact that a large number was sent eastward the way the market was. The lambs sold for feeding pur poses bIrought a fair price. Not many of them have yet been marketed from this state, but the movement com mences about February 1. The wool industry in this state is undergoing a great change. The day has passed in Montana when sheet. men believe they can go through a winter without putting up any feed. There was a time when the venture some sheepman depended entirely up on the range for winter feed. With the contraction of the public range and the overcrowding of that which remained it became no longer practi cable to rely upon the open range for feed. Now almost every sheepman, with the possible exception of those in the eastern part of the state, has his stacks of hay and some of them also raise grain' It is the safer way, although it lessens the profits. In a severe winter, however, feeding means the saving of bands that would otherwise peris... The practice of feeding sheep in the winter has come to stay: it is a practical assurance that the wool grower in this state no longer neglects. Slowly but surely the big sheepmen in Montana are reducing their hold ings. There are now less than ten sheepmen in this state wno own more than 30.Iu0II head. There are fewer outfits with more than 20.000 than formerly. The number of persons in terested in sheep, however, is steadIly increasing. The assessment roll of the state yhows there were only a few more sheep in %Montana during - ,". than in 10l"2. During 1903 4,733.834 sheep of all classes were reported for taxa tion, as compared with 4,719,6t08 the year before. The losses of the spring of 1903 account in some measure for the slight Increase. Usually sever, storms killed a large per cent of lambs in northern Montana, while por*ions of Fergus and Meagher coun ties also suffered heavy losses. Where the losses did not occur during the winter the lamb crop was short and the number of dry ewes exceptionally large. While it is too early to make any predictions, interviews with promi nent sheepmen show that they expect equally as good prices as were re ceived for the fleece last year. Many of them believe that the price will be higher than last year. If the prices are fair the Montana sheepmen look for an exceedingly prosperous year. On the whole the industry is on oc firmer and more lasting basis than at any time during the history of Mon tana, which promises to keep its lead as the principal wool producing state of the country. The year Just closed gave emphasis to the fact. as stated by Mr. Moss., that there is a tendency on the part of Montana wool men to feed sheep in this state. In past years many thous ands of sheep have been shipped ;o South St. Paul, towns in Nebraska and other points in Minnesota and Iowa, for feeding purposes. The high prices of feed at many of those places. es. pecially at South St. Paul, turned the attention of many of their own state as a feeding ground. This was es pecially so last fall. The first feed ing on a large scale was done in the Yellowstone valley, in the vicinity of 'Billings. I. D. O'Donnell, the pioneer in the business, has been feeding for years. and has made a success of it. This winter it is an exceedingly im portant industry in the Yellowstone valley. where it grew more and more each year as alfalfa became known as a good terler. together with a little grain, for the finest alfalfa in the world is raised here. Nowhere in the state is so much of this forag ogrow: as in the Yellowstone valley. The land there appears to be especially adapted to its raising, although it may be. grown in large quantities in less f olnret , ..,.ct(i,,na itITuIwrn FcrIionR. HIlilllg. ind that section ol th:, YeIllowstIUet valley, however, have by noI means 1a monopoly on the sheep I(l'l(ding business. Three years ago two or Ihruee venturesome men in the Gallatil: valley began to feed sheep. Thepy Ilide mo nney., and their example was f~'ll.wid by many until during the lprls..,rtl winter there are many thousatld.s ol sheep being fed in that section.
