Show LOOKS LIKE HARD WINTER . V The weather this week seems to indicate a long and severe winter. It is not the rule that the" snow and cold weather come onto ub so early in the season. Of recent years the weather has usually remained quite open right ud toChristmas. somnHmn tho first sleighing not coming until after the first of tho new year. But this year tho first of December ushered in weather that would have done full justice to the mid winter holidays. And whlie the thermometer has not registered as low as it usually does in mid-winter, it has been none the less noticable, due to our blood being thin and wo have not been used to it so well as we will be later on. Unless thero is a decided moderation in the weather, or we have an unusually early spring, livestock on the ranges is likely to suffer, and the owners sustain some heavy loses. |
