A number Of complaints have rec rtly

BUFFALO FARM
Wisconsin Men Cross Breeding the
Bison With Profit

Albert and Charles Huber, living few
miles south of this city, have a herd of
about twenty-five full-blood bison and
some eighteen bulls and heifers, bison
and native COW. About six years ago they
were hunting in the western part of
North Dakota and succeeded in captur-
ing alive three young bison a bull and
two cows and these they brought to
their farm here. The animals grew and
thrived amazingly, and are pastured in
an inclosure of about 400 acres running
down to the valley of Rose creek, where
they have ample room and shelter
Experiments were early made with
crossed breeds and it has now been found
that the cross is very successful, the
halfbreeds combining the docility of the
domestic animals with the endurance
and large size of the bison They are
also very fine fur producers, and grow to
maturity in less time than domestic cat
tie. The flesh of crossed animals is very
palatable. and the fur has all the good
qualities of that of the bison, and 10
softer and more silky The crossed bloods
can also stand far more exposure in
winter than can the native COW. The
Hubers believe they have a fortune in
their herd if they can continue it's in
