Great Northern to Plant Many Trees,

Forum: Tree culture is a business in
which the Great Northern Railway Co.
is, about to engage, according to a report
current in railroad circles. 1t is said
that the railway company proposes to
plant large quantities of young trees
at various points along its prairie lines
so as to be able in the future to supply
its wi ties and fence posts.
The time is coming when ties and
lumber of all kinds will reach very high
prices, especially in the west, and it is
proposed to meet the emergency by
establishing and maintaining tree, plan
tations at convenient points along the
line of railway. e.
This scheme has been under consider
alton by the roads for some time. and no
doubt will be developed.
The wood best adapted for railway
ties is birch. This grows rapidly in this
section. AS the trees grow large and
commence to crowd each other they will
be thinned out for fence posts.

Cattlemen Will Operate Their Own Plant.

A Montana paper says: When, about
twenty years ago, the Marquis de Mores
attempted to establish at Medora, N. D.,
an immense packing plant for the dress
ing of beef cattle right off the ranges
he met with considerable ridicule and
enough opposition to make his venture
a failure. Montana cattlemen, however,
now have come to the conclusion that
the F%renchman had the right "hunch."
They have about perfected plans for the
formation of a million dollar corporation
which is to establish an immense pack
ing plant somewhere in the cattle u
try of Montana, which is to slaughter
beef, manufacture by-products, and gen
orally do the business which is now
being done at the great Middle Western
packing establishments.
1t has been decided by the stockmen
to be the height of commercial idiocy to
ship Montana cattle to Omaha or Chica-

citation in making a determined effort to
encourage the dual purpose type OF the

with ruling sentiment we're certain of
the satisfaction with which the decision
Of the December meeting would be
greeted. The Shorthorn has from time
out of mind been the farmers COW of
this continent. The basis OF farm cattle
improvement was laid in Shorthorn
blood. Special conditions have made
room for specialized breeds, some beef,
some dairy, and in obedience to the
development Of these conditions the
Shorthorn has either been modified to
the distinct beet form, or turned toward
dairy specialization. or in some cases
abandoned for the specialized dairy
breeds. The men who pin their faith
to the "red, white and roam" as the farm
cattle of America, have no quarrel with
the special dairy breeds under special
dairy conditions, but they yet maintain
that certain individuals of the breed
that have been specialized for years
toward dairy production are quite as
profitable in the COW barn as the average
OF the dairy breeds. But there is that
wider field of the general farmer, the
man who is so situated that the double
revenue from beef and milk fills better
his purse than single production in
either line. This field the Shorthorn of
proper selection fills admirably. That
the current OF improving blood which
ran so strongly toward the range the
past twenty years has initiated against
the milking Shorthorn does NJ admit of
doobt, and that fact is largely respon.
sible for the efforts Of the friends of the
dual.purpose type before the American
association for official recognition.
