price of each kind should be eqlialiv
high at once. The man with either
fat cattle, hogs or sheep is
these days.
Cousumers are increasing rapidly
in this region, while ranges are de

for high prices, but these prices will
tempt more farmers to raise livestock
on a small scale for tbe market, as
not enough of them are doing yet, so
that price* may fall, but it is likely
that the day of cheap livestock is
over iu this region. W ith present
quotations in sight, it will be strange
if a great many people do not raise
more stock for the butcher, but ex
cept in tbe case of bogs, it will take
a great deal of increase in production
to pn 11 pr ices down to former figures.
