country around here, the same being for
a company of gentlemen at Mankato who
are collecting q herd of 1000 to drive to
Montana. Those that Mr.. Patterson
bought are yearlings and two-year- Odds.
1t is an unwise policy for our farmers to
sell off so much young stock. Stock
raising is to be the most profitable indus
try of this country, and to dispose of
stock before three or four years of age
will prove suicidal to the business.

picked up club, and gave his wolfship

or got bad bite on the arm, but came
out ahead as the head and skin which he
produced for his bounty, was sufficient
proof.

is being played upon the farmers in some
localities. 1t takes two to play 1t, and is
worked as follows: A goes to farmer
who has taken up estray animals and
wants to purchase them. The farmer, of
course, exhibits them, but the price is too
high, or the stock don't suit.
But he has got what he
went after, full description of the
which he gives to his partner B,
who at once goes to the farmer and in
forms him that he Is hunting for estrays.
He gives the description of the cattle he
wants. The farmer has them, of course,
and delivers them on payment of costs.
The cattle are received; the farmer is
happy until the real owner of the cattle
turns up and demands his property.
