brought him S5,I4l,oo. MT.
Washington informs as that he
still has car of hogs that he
will feed week or two that will
bring from $110o to $1,000, which
will bring the sum up close to
$4,000, realized in one year from
his cattle and hogs. When it is
remembered that but few years
ago Mr.. Waddington was poor
homesteader in Ortello valley it
speaks volumes for the possibili-
ties of the farmer and stockman
of Custer county. We are proud
of the fact that the marvellous
success of Mr., Waddington is
not an exceptional case. Many
other farmers in Custer county
have built modest fortunes in the
past few years, having no capital
except health and strength and a
quarter or half section of Uncle
Sans fertile soil that he gave to
those who would occupy it. The
Omaha Stockman of the 10 inst
has the following to say in refer
ence to Mr.. Waddington's ship
ment of cattle to the Omaha
market:
Samuel Washington, one of
Custer county's best stockmen
and feeders, brought in three
loads of grade Hereford steers of
his own raising and feeding from
Ortello, that sold at SS.1s, the
top price paid for cattle of their
weight and age since April.
1.-THE steers were mostly 2-year
olds, with a light sprinkling of
yearlings. They have been on
feed since October and when
placed on the market were as
finely finished as any seen here
in a good long time. One very
noticeable feature of their APP
pearance was that they were sleek
and smooth feshed and another
was that they showed very little
effect from their long shipment.
Mr.. Washington attributes these
conditions to the use OF Standard
Stock Food. He used it from
the start and says he will never
feed without it. The train or
which the stock arrived was late
but the steers suffered a shrink
of only fourteen pounds. 1r
many cases it runs as high as
forty and fifty pounds in ship
ments from that locality. The
cattle were started on snapped
and finished on shelled corn
There were fifty five head in the
bunch and they averaged us;
pounds. A small bunch of cows
sold out at 81. 80.
"Mr. Washington expresses
himself as we'll pleased with hi
treatment on this market. HI
was advised to take his cattle t.
Chicago, but declined. He say
he doesn't see how he could hav,
done better. He says furthe
that the outcome of the deal il
most satisfactory and that h
will continue to use the sam
methods in feeding as those EN-
ployed in the above case"
