it was to be the best state in the Union
at not far distant time, and now that
day is almost at hand. In no manner
whatever is it far behind the other
states and in many respects it is ahead.
II have always loved stock. AS long
as I can remember I have been q lover

$50 it was desire to fulfill youthful
ambition that brought Mr.. Rockefeller
to the plains of Kansas Is years a9.s,
and when he purchased the 1000 acre
ranch in Kiowa county he at once began
to fix it up to represent the ideal type
of a country home. \
''The ranch Is ideally situated as to
natural advantages. In the southeast
corner of Kiowa county, on the Engle-
wood branch Of the Santa Fee railway, II
includes the land along both sides of Sol
der creek, a small and pretty stream
that empties into Medicine creek. at TIE
south end of the ranch.

owner is not to raise countless herds of
scrawny steers, but rather well bred
cattle. The wild life Of the COW puncher
in the roundup is nowhere visible on this
ideal stretch of grassy plain which COM
poses the fourteen thousand acre ranch
Of Soldier Creek Park.
Frank Rockefeller came to Kansas
first in 1876, and ever since then he has
been in the cattle breeding business in a
small way. Each year finds a better
class of stock surrounding the ranch,
until it has come to be recognized as a
center of fine stock. Mr.. Rockefeller was
last December elected president of the
Hereford Breeders association, and not a
little Of his time is spent in elevating the
place of premier cattle.
1.-The happiest moments of my life are
spent on this ranch, out here in Kansas"
he said to me not long ago. when I
first visited the State I believed that

and resources of the state. To meet this
man who controls a vast fortune, on the
plains of Kansas. surrounded by the
luxuries of his ranch life, is vastly diff
ferent from coming in contact with him
in his Office in Cleveland, Ohio, where he
looks after his interests in stocks and
oil.
"I1e spends his winters on the ranch,
and each year he and his family make
their stay longer. 1t grows more fas-
cinating to them as the years go by.
He is now fifty years old, man who
has travelled al! over the world, a bril-
liant cOnversatiOnalist and never SO
happy, to use his own wrds. as when
riding over his ranch on the plains OF
the Suntiower state. or currying a
blooded COW in his ranch stables.
"A new feature of the cattle breeding
business as carried on by Mr.. Rookie
Teller is breeding what is known as the
Double Standard Polled Durham. of
which there are only 300 In the
world. He now owns Is head OF
them, and would not part with them at
any price.
"A fad of his is breeding hornless cat
tie. believeing that the horns can be
bred off easier than they can be sawed
off.
He now owns 260 head OF registered
Shorthorn and Hereford cattle, 81 trot-
ting horses and many fine blooded pigs.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-07-13

the necessary grain to feed his stock.
There are $500 acres under cultivation,
500 acres being in cultivation for alfalfa,
desirable feed for fattening purposes.
He can raise three crops of alfalfa in a
single season and then have good fall
pasturage on the field.
There are also 300 acres in wheat, 800
acres in rye and the remainder in kaffir
corn. The fine qualities of these lie in
their suitability for feeding and forage.
A large orchard has lately been put ou.,
many of the trees already bearing fruit.
Mr.. Rockefeller employs manager to
attend to the ranch during his absence,
but he keeps careful account of the place
himself. and his business methods in
jected into the management of the
ranch have put it on a paying basis
He is decidedly averse to having it said
that his farm is merely the toy Of mil
lionaire: he runs it for profit.
Besides, he is fast earning a place
in the cattle breeding world as breed
er of note. and he is ANXIOUS to gain a
reputation for his pure blood Hereford
and Shorthorn cattle. While he may
have placed $4,000 in improving the
ranch, and may have 100000 invested.
he has business thereon which will
soon prove lucrative to him.
"Mr. Rockefeller came to Kansas ia
regain his health and make money. As
he has done both, it is little wonder that
he is an enthusiast about the beauties

any trobule in getting - cents or better
for the wool grown in Montana.
Usually the sheep are driven slowly
over good feeding grounds to loca-
ton convenient to the shipping point,
where pens for the shearing have been
built, and here they are quickly Invested
of their fleeces by expert shearing crews.
The wool is then sacked and hauled
by wagon to railroad. Sacks carry from
$50 to 400 pounds according to the quality
of the wool.
When this wool reaches Billings it is
either stored in the Northern Pacific or
Burlington warehouses. The former
structure is 6Ox3OO, with splendid SAM
ping room. Two wool presses, operated
by gasoline engine are in use here,
with a capacity Of 275OOO pounds every
ten hours. After being sold or when be-
ing gotten ready for shipment east three
sacks of wool are reduced to compass
of one, thus securing a much cheaper
rate for railroad transportation.
The Burlington warehouse is 60x3O0
feet and also has sampling room. Two
presses are also operated there. To show
how the shipping of wool is facilitated
on this market it is only necessary to res
cite the instance of last season. The wo0i
is baled as fast as it is sold and when
the season closed last year nearly all
the wool had been baled and was shipped
out. This is matter of great impor-
tance to both seller and buyer.
With the commencement of the wool
season representatives of eastern wool
houses locate temporarily in Billings
and watch the process of getting the
wool into marketable shape. valuing
the product according to the pointers
gained from an intimate knowledge OF
the material and individual clip.
Besides the eastern men, there are al
ways at least a dozen wool commission
houses represented by local agents, who
usually get portion of the business.
Billings, however, is becoming more of

Der Of buyers at that point, 1t has been
found necessary to adopt the Great Falls
system of conducting wool sales, and
the buyers have agreed to buy woods

being the same under which the Great

"Sales will be held at the Northern
Pacific warehouse between 10 a. m. and
IL m. every day, and at the Burlington
warehouse between 2 p. m. and p. m.

bluff. at the foot of which plays the
sparkling water of Soldier creek.
THE beauty of the ranch cannot be
surpassed anywhere in the west, except
in the Rocky mountains or the canyons
Of Arizona.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his family spend
some time on the ranch every summer,
far away from the heat of grimy city
life; therefore, he has taken pains to
make the improvements the best. He
has a large frame house, modern in
every particular, surrounded with houses
for his assistants. and barns for his
stock.
His house Is heated by steam. light
ed with gas, and piped for hot and cold
water. Back Of the house arises a high
bluff, upon the top of which is built
water tank. This furnishes water power
to the house and all other buildings on
the premises.
Mr.. Rockefeller's house Is surrounde
by a blue grass lawn, on which are a
tennis court and other Fairgrounds.
which are in constant use by the fani-
lily and their guests during the summer
months.
mr.. Rockefeller has erected. at con.
siderable expense. two galvanized iron
barns for his cattle and a red sand
stone barn for the horses. He has also
numerous machine sheds and other COM

fine as fine medium. and being of lighter
shrinkage than that of our western
neighbors, commands the highest price
in eastern markets. The shearing season
commences in early June and continues
through that month and we'll into July.
The shearing season was greatly de-
1ayed this year owing to the long wet
spring and this, of course, delayed the
arrival of wool and will retard the SELL
ing season a week or two.
Considerable shearing was done during
the rainy weather and as consequence
the wool had to be allowed to dry before
it was brought into the city. Then, too
much wet wool was brought here and
had to be opened and dried before be-
ing stored.
Sheep shearers operate in crews of from
six to a dozen, and during the seanon
make the wool fly. An average days
work for an expert shearer is 100 Sheep
the rate per head being from to 10
cents. Double this number of sheep in
day have been handled by experts but
they are not plentiful.
good average crew can clip the
f1eeces from band of 5000 to 10, 900 sheep
in week, and in another week the wool
can be rushed to the Boston, Philadel-
phia or Chicago market. Steam shear
ing machines have recently been intro
duced, however. several of them now
being in operation in this neighborhood.
They have proved to be success, sheep
shorn by this process averaging nearly
pound more to the fleece, while the
work is done much more rapidly. Most
of the wool from this section goes to
Boston and from there is divided up
amongst the wool manufacturers of the
New England states, and comes back to
us in the form of blankets. carpets and
clothing.
The highest price ever paid for Mon
tana clip was 26 cents, and the market

"There are many fine ranches all over
the west" remarked John Allen Of
Wichita. Kan, as he sat in the rotunda
of the Thornton last evening. Many
of these ranches cover whole town
ships, others entire counties, but the
one owned in Kansas by Frank Rocke-
Teller. brother of the Standard Oil mag
nate, leads them all. OF course, there are
ranches that are larger, but for equip
ment this is about the finest thing one
cares to feast his eyes upon.
mot detail to make it an earthly
paradise in the country home line is lack

to find in the famous short grass coun-
try, notable for its reported drouths and
rass-hoppers. but which, as matter Of
fact, has come to be the ranchman's
paradise.

other picks at it to determine the staple,
the shrinkage, etc. When all the buyers
have satisfied themselves as to the
quality and what price they can afford
to offer, they go off to one side and pre-
pare bids on slips of paper. which are
submitted to the grower. He looks over
the bids, and If satisfied with the high

Buyers have been in the city for about
two weeks, but SO far have been able
to only pick up about 100000 pounds.
The highest price paid has been II cents,
with 9la cents as the lowest for a dirty
and coarse Wyoming crop.
There is over 5000, 600 pounds now
in the city, and it is arriving rapidly by
freight teams and trains. About 500, 600
pounds were brought in this week over
the Burlington's new Toluca- Cody
branch from the section Of the road
traversed as far as Pryor. Some Of the
heaviest growers OF this vicinity sheared
along the line Of that road, and then
loaded their wool into the cars direct
When the railroad once reaches, Cody

The following bulletin has been issued
by the buyers for the guidance of the

a selling market every year, and expe-I
rience has proved that it is better for
the grower to sell his clip when a fair
price is offered, rather than consign it
at small advance to an eastern COM
mission firm.
The three months of June, July and
August are lively ones for the merchants
of Billings. Thousands Of wool sacks
are sold to the growers Of wool, supplies
for the shearng crews are sent out by
the carload, and the other classes Of
business begin to be strengthened by the
lOOsening up of money, which Is spent
freely by the shearers and sheepmen du-
ing this time. Fully 1000 men are en-
ployed during these months in the hand
ling of the wool clip, directly and indi-
rectly.
The wool having been taken care >of,
the sheepman now turns his attention
toward culling his flocks, separating
those wethers which he now proposes to
feed up and sell as mutton sheep, and
gather in a crop of hay for the coming
winter. The next few months he may
live in luxurious idleness, II SO disposed,
and his real work does not commence
T until November, the breeding season.
With wool at the present price, the BUSH
ness will pay from 20 to IS per cent an
nually. according to the way it is hand
led. Conservatism pays in the sheep
business as we'll as in any other indus
try, and it is gradually getting down to
basis where the returns are as sure
as from merchandising or any other pur-
suit.
1t is quite trick to distinguish be-
tween woods. What might seem SPLEEN

in many cases catch the eye of the ex-
pert buyer. Several sacks are taken
