the winter safely; the other, to run
largest possible returns in the shortest
time.
Not only must these cattle mature
early, but they must be of quality
that will dress good percentage of
beef. This means that the cattleman
will need to raise high grade cows and
supply the very best bulls he can Sc
cure. If pure bred so much the better.
In many instances the cattleman will
need to grow cattle for the eastern
feed yards. In producing such cattle
many of these men will find it neces
sary to improve their herds greatly,
for quality and not quantity is what
the eastern feeder wants.
What has been said of cattle holds
equally true of horses. Today there is
almost no place for the small horse or
"cayuse," while good animals are in
demand. That one can afford to raise
good horses on the range has been
demonstrated by stockman living in
western North Dakota. During a Pc
riod of low prices for range horses this
man bought high priced stallion.
With this animal and nine range mares
Of average size and quality as nu-
cleus he built up fine herd. When
the stallion died he was replaced with
two registered Percherons, which con-
'tinued to build up the herd until it
was one of the finest herds of range
horses in the United States. One of
these stations Is shown in the figure.
When this man got his first horse his
neighbors believed that he had made
a serious mistake in buying so eX-
pensive an animal. For several years
while he was building up his herd, at
which time horses were of almost no
value, he was considerably in debt.
AS his stock began to improve and the
price of horses increased he began to
realize well from this herd, and dur
ing the last two years he has sold geld
ings in carload lots at $125 a head un-
broken. In the summer of 1906 he
sold his entire herd, 22T head, at $50
a head straight for all branded stock,
an unusually high price for range
horses. There were two mares of his
own raising in the herd for which the
buyers refused $3.50 unbroken. This
man estimates that his first stallion
made for him many times what he
paid for it.

lips drew downward slightly though in SYM

wore simple gown of black lace frightened only
by huge bunch of violets at the belt, and in the
waves of her wonderful bronze hair nestled few
more of the same blossoms.
The song she sang a simple little thing,
