RANCH TALK.

]. A. Caldwell OF Gladstone has 100
unbroken horses that he will sell at right
prices. See him and you will find that
he means Just what he says. Io-I5-ft
H.. Quinion, owner of the Q bar
brand anu who holds first place among
the horse breeders of western North
Dakota, recently made shipment of
cattle which showed that he is only
breeding the best kinds. His son was
interested with him in the shipment of
little over Car Of cattle which were
sold at s4.25 and averaged 1870 lbs. in
weight The steers we're but three
years old and were the first from the
Quinion ranch to be marketed in many
years. About I2 years ago MIR. Quinion
made shipment of a Car of COWS that
sold at S4.Io and averaged I4oo lbs. and
he believes this to be the second best
shipment of cattle from the western
range. A little later the Norberg ship
ment OF 50 cows was made from Rich
ardton. These COWS averaged 1906 lbs.
in weight, and MIR. Quinion is satisfied
that no shipment OF cows from the
range has ever equalled it. Mr.. Quin-
ions principal business, however, is
| horse raising. The past season he
shipped $1,000 worth of horses and
| increased his bunch by considerably
more than the number marketed.
Review: "One of the finest horses that
has been brought to Glendive for some
time was received here the first of last
week by c. A. Thurston. The horse,
Patsy Taylor, is a Kentucky gated
saddle horse of flawless pedigree that
traces his ancestry back to the purest
Arabian blood"
Shepherds Bulletin: "The events of
the past few months indicate pretty con-
clusively that stocks of the raw mater
ial in the hands of manufacturers must
have been at pretty low level when
the season for the new woods started in.
Since the beginning of June there have
been sold in the Boston market more
than I55,ooo,ooo pounds of wool, an
amount never equalled before in the
same period in any previous year. The
great bulk OF this wool has not been
purchased for speculation; has been
bought for consumption; and those in
touch with the manufacturing situation
have no doubt that it will be all needed.
The best OF the Durrent cattle sold at
s5.27.

the first OF the week and hurried to his
Cannon Ball ranch to see about placing

run of stock that day and delay caused
by wreck at St. Paul, he got good

CO. as follows: Io steers, 1865 lbs. 81 90
10 steers, 1911 lbs. S4.4o, 10 cows, 1888

price of the season for rangers, and in
the face Of the fact as quoted by the
Union Stock Yards papers that range
cows and steers, owing to the record
breaking run, we're off 3oc. to 4oc.
