Horn bulls. He has been using
Hercfords for 8 or 10 years and now
wishes to breed back.
Ed. Viglini: l think we had fine
luck ut the 4 ranch. We fed two hun
dred and City cattle, half of them
having been shipped in during the
fall. and brought them all through
with the exception of six.
c. F. M~essingham Of M.ndan.
breeder of registered Hereford and
S%horthorn cattle, was in Dickinson
last week. He reported good sales
of stock, having recently shipped a
half a of his Herefords to Iowa.
The Turkey Track outfit will drive
two herds from the south this season.
James Converse will probably bring
up about the same number--5,O00.
Had southern cattle not: been 50 high
in price Mr.. Converse would have
trailed up 10000 head this season.
Belle FouIche Bee: The Elkhorne
company has erected large sheep
sheds and shearing plant at Woolton,
near Casper. Shearing is now under
way and the clip promises to be unu-
sually heavy. Both steam and hand
shearing is being done.
John Stevens. manager Of the Yer.
mont Live Stuck Co, which operates
in South Dakota, has reported n loss
of 5000 to 5000 out of IL herd of 1000.
This is IN unusually heavy loss and
will undoubtedly he discouraging to
the Vermont directors who live at
B%rattle5oro.
At the meeting of the executive
Committee of the Missouri River
Stockmen's Association of s. D. it
was determined to drop the charge of
$500 membership fee, allowing mem
bers to join without paying this sun
besides their assessment. The as
sessment was fixed at &c. per head
for the year 1897. This movement
will have a tendency to to double the
membership during the coming sea
son. 1t was also agreed to send an
inspector from Fort Pierre to Chica-
60 during the shipping season. plac-
ing him under the Montana State
board and this will give the associa.
tion the benefit of all the inspection
at Chicago, Sioux City, Omaha, Kan
sas City, St. Paul and all other points.
Belle Fourche Bee.
Corn and corr for fodder, planted
in rows by drills. three feet apart is
the best crop. next to wheat there il
in this state. It is the. finest feed In
the world. One ton Is worth two
tons of hay. Cut it with q binder be
fore frost. 1t Is just as good rs clio
yer hay in the east. Can be sowed
any time before middle of June. Put
on from half a bushel to three pecks
of seed to the acre. Should be har
rowed when young and cultivated
with a corn cultiyator between rows
We had Is acres Of this crop last yea
and never would have brought oul
sheep through without it. All kindl
of stock prefer it. 1t can be raiset
cheaper than hauling hay three mile.
and is sweeter and far better thar
lhay.--Chas. Clark in Jamestown pa

n Sioux Stock Journal: The stockel
Iproblem for the coming season bid
fair to become more bothersome thar
it has for several years. Texans ant
Arizona cattle owners seem to thinl
that they can keep, fatten and mar
. ket at a profit the same class of cat
tie which they heretofore raised a
stockers for northern ranges. Posi-
bly, they may be able to do this. A
any rate they are putting on an addi
tional figure and the northern pur
chaser can invest, or not, just as b.
pleases. These cattle will not b
handled at a profit in any event. Thil
appears to he the condition Of thing
staring the northern buyer In tn
. face this year. In case Of continue
: tion of this policy on the part Of tn
!. owner OF southern cattle Of this class
. there is but m thing left for tn
= !, northern buyer to do and that 10 t
: raise his own stockers. The Journa
' has always contended that this polio,
;. would of necessity have to be adopt
:. ed, and this year our prediction is I'D
. mitted to be correct by many Of th
most experienced cattle men. ]
would mean the outlay Of considers
BILE amount for ranch improvement
for breeding purposes but the add
tional profit through this metho
3 would, we believe, more than make
Q up. It would mean also . bette
. quality of beef and consequently
;. better price. We look for norther
cattlemen to stock their own range
in q very few years.
