Does it Pay e Raise rne ns-t catrle,

Does it Pay to Raise The best Cattle ,
From the Evanston Chieuain
In 1878, and during the succeeding
year, many people in this part Of Wyo-
ming looked with astonishment at the
large investments being made hy Beck
with, Quinn x Co., in fitting up aud
stocking their large ranch. And some of
the wiseacres referring to the head
of the firm, Mr.. \. c. Beckwith. who
was personally experimenting the ex-
penditures on the ranch, were heard to
express the opinion that the old man
is going crazy st will be a long
while before he gets all that money
back, and similar expressions, in
doubt of his ability to manage his af-
fairs in a prudent and proper shape. 1t
was a big scheme. The firm had taken
up a tract OF several thousand acres in
the most fertile portion OF the Bear
river valley, about forty-two miles north
of Evanston. They fenced in the entire
tract, using the best cedar posts. They
built a dam in Bear river, and con.
structed a canal and l%atorals for irrigat-
ing a large portion Of their land, and
got $50 acres seeded with luccrnc and
simothy. They built large and substantial
buildings, sheds and %corrals. Everything
was done in the most thorough and sub
stantial manner, and the expense counted
up in the thousands, They began stock
ing the ranch by buying from the settlers
in this vicinity 1000 head Of native year
ling heifers. Their next move was TO
import, in the fall of 1873. from Ken
lucky, forty head of thoroughbred Short
Horn bulls. They have further increased
their herd and improved the quality by
importing from one to two carloads of
pure Short Horn bulls from the best
herds in Kentucky. each succeeding year
since the above date. In the spring of
1884, they purchased fifteen thoroughbred
Hereford bulls. at a cost of $4,000.
Their first return Tor beef cattle WAS III
the winter Of lsSp, when they sold 200
head of native steers at $50 per mead. In
1885 their improved stock began to ma
ture for market, and they sold 200 head
half blooded Short Horn beef cattle ut
Sij per head In 1851 they sold y%earling
bulls at $50 per head To the amount Of
$4,000. This year they have sold AS
