THE interview had terminated rather sud-
: denly-almost too suddenly to be en-
tirely satisfactory to Jeff, who had at first
seen in a talk with Cortland Bent an oppor-
tunity to learn by inductive methods some
thing of the future plans OF his enemies. He
realized as he watched Bent squared shout
ders disappear through the door Of an inner
office that in this respect he had been entirely
unsuccessful Bent had revealed nothing
that Jeff did not know before left had a
feeling too that Bent had retired with
slight advantage, even though it had been
moral rather than tactical.
In his heart Jeff had always had feeling
Of good humored contempt for the men of
Cortland Bent's class, and the fact that
Camilla preferred this one to him had made
him less tolerant of them even than before
He was unwilling to acknowledge to himself
the slight sense of shock he had experienced
in discovering that Cort Bent was now foe
man worthy of his own metal. Their trails
were crossing too often. 1t wasn't healthy
for either OF them.
He understood now why ii was that Ca
milla had written him vaguely of an urgent
matter about which she could not write re-
questing permission to come West at once.
He had put it down to the whim of q woman
as he did everything feminine he could not

She wanted to be near Cortland Bent, and
feared to take any definite step that might
compromise her in the eyes of her husband.

any market for dairy products? Could
I sell my dairy animals? Would, you
advise the use Of pure bred sires and
dams?
Reply: It is very difficult to give
advice regarding the method of live
stock breeding or farming without be-
ing we'll acquainted with the condi-
tions upon the farm. However, as
nearly as we can tell, we see no rea-
son why good money could not be
made by going into the dairy business.
No doubt there would be good mar
ket for all of the butter and milk that
could be produced. This question,
however, cannot be answered without
being informed as to the exact market
conditions.
As to the advice regarding the Sc
lection of animals, We are again some
what skeptical. No doubt our reader
is we'll informed upon the points to
keep in mind In the selection OF dairy
animals II we were going out 10 buy
pure bred animals We would secure
only limited number and see that
each individual was of the best and
that the pedigree traced back to some
noted ancestor. We would not adviAe
our reader to secure large number
of pure bred animals, but would ad-
wise him to secure a pure brel bull
and then, as he had sufficient money,
he might find 1t profitable to buy
three or four pure bred COWS. He
could use the bull upon these females
and would get some very good calves.
There is always market for dairy
cattle and we find that the market in
Montana is continually growing. II
the individuals were OF good type we
see no reason why they would not
bring very good prices. AS stated. we
would not advise the buying of a
large number of pure bred cows be.
cause We could get some very good
calves by the use nf pure bred bull
upon grade animals. We would use
the pure bred buls upon these indi-
viduals and sell the calves for breed
Ing purposes.
AS to the breed ci animals that is
adapted to Montana we hesitate upon
saying The success of any breeder
will depend upon the man himself. VI
he has a special preference for the
Jerseys or Guernseys. that ia the
breed he wants to go into. II our
reader has a preferences for the lsr.
sey, no doubt it will pay him to breed
these animals. We do not think 1t
would be safe plan, however, to g.
outside OF the country and secure ant.
mails that are not especially adapted
to this region. If it were possible we
would try to secure the cows and bull
from - near at home as possible.
