FARMERS BANK ON LIVESTOCK.
ThOs. Mckay and RObt. Stewart En-
thuSiaStiC Stock Feeders.

South st Paul Reporter:
R. Stewart and Thomas Mckay.
two of the most enthusiastic stock
men Of Minnesota, were in with a
shipment of fat cattle from their
farms near Redwood Falls yesterday.
A mixed load of steers and heifers
carrying very good finish brought
them 81 go hundred-weight. price
which was very agreeable to them
and added to their confidence in the
stock raising industry as money
maker on the farm and increased
their faith In Tho naarlot.
I'VE feed everything we raise on
our farms to livestock and buy all
the grain and corn we can from our
neighbors to do likewise with" de-
clared Mr.. Mckay. In our section
of the state the all-grain farmer is
being replaced by the stock farmer,
many settlers from Illinois and Iowa
coming in to take the place of the
wheat farmers who are going west. !"
The Redwood Falls shippers are
firm believers in the combination of
cattle, hogs and corn and declare
that their neighbors are becoming
convinced of the superiority Of stock
farming over grain farming. That
the contributions Of southwestern
Minnesota to the South st. Paul
market will continue to increase is
evidenced by the growing interest
of farmers Of that section in live
stock.
Both Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Mckay
were enthusiastic about the corn and
grain crops in their section and re-
ported prospects the best ever.
Only occasional rains with the warm
weather that is sure to come are
now needed. And when the crops
are harvested larger share of them
than ever in that section of the state
will be used in the feed-lots and
| marketed at the stock yards.

This story illustrated the fact that

that ignorance in regard to sexual
