management. This fact was clearly ap-
parent to Mr. Hill long years ago. when
itously pure bred males for the improve
ment OF their stock. Had the farmers
thus favored but understood the benefit
that they might have reaped from the
stock thus donated the story OF the live
stock OF Minnesota and North Dakota
would have been very different from what
1t is to-day: live stock values in both
states would have been worth hundreds Of
thousands; yes. millions more than 1t Is
now.
There il much that is regrettable in the
want of appreciation shown by the farm
ers in this matter. In fact it is regrettable
to the point of being pathetic. since the
farmers themselves were the losers. In
this most casual way the writer has
learned. and from source that Is ah-
solutely reliable, some facts about this
work 1t began about the year 1883. or
nearly twenty years ago. Within a few
years from its commencement Mr.. Hill
had sent ont a gift to the farmers
more than $50 Shorthorn pure-bred males.
more than 800 Aberdeen-Angus males.
also purely bred. and more than 1000
pure-bred Berkshire males. What fol-
lowed? A colony of farmers from Can
ada, who had located in the Red river val
ley in North Dakota, and who knew what
such stock could do for them. turned the
gifts to good account. First-class feed
But in the counties generally the bene-
factions were not appreciated. Some were
despicable enough to sell the bulls thus
donated to 60 down into Iowa. and the
major portion sold the progeny as calves
to Iowa buyers. who knew their value
SO much better than the men who sold
them The results from the distribution
OF swine were somewhat better. as the
farmers understood better how to grow
swine than cattle.
Now, is there not much that is exceed
ingly regrettable in this action on the
part Of the farmers. Here is man who
spent more than S15O.00O in an effort to
improve the live stock industry OF this
Northwest and his effort, with some eS-
ceptions, was not appreciated HAD Mr.
