WANTED HIS father
TO have A FAST R|DE|

SCHAFER. N. D., Dec. 14.--Jay
Grantier, n of the very first ranch
men to settle in this part of the state,
had in his younger days the reputa.
ton of being about the best broncho
twister in the northwest. Like all of
the 0ld.time cowpunchers Jay would
now just as soon have his saddle
ponies plumb gentle. When he catches
up a pony that LOOKS as though it
wanted TO pitch, he usually takes it
into a round corral where it could not
cover too much territory in its efforts
to throw him.
Not long ago. Jay caught up a horse
that looked as though it wanted to
mislay him somewhere out on the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-12-14

open prairie, and took it. into the
round corral. He had barely lit in
the middle of the pony when 1t COM
menced to kick and pnch. When II
had nearly completed }he circuit OF
the corral II walked along like Il per-
fectly good horse. An the starting
point was passed. however, it COM
menced again to kick and pitch nearly
around the pen. 1t repeated the per.
Torrance perhaps 80 times and Jay
was beginning to think that the horse
had gone really bad.
On his ifty-first trip around the pen
Jay discovered that the horse wasn't
bad at all. One of his small boys
had been poking the 2ony in the
TANKS with a branding iron every
time it passed, just to see his papa
ride. .

These are high scores, but it was in
the yield per acre that the Montanans
excelled most decisively.
The exhibitor showing highest yield
lost out completely i'll the milling test
and commercial scoring, but he set the
pace on yield with IS bushels to the
acre. This was considered a 100 per
cent yield. Bridgeman and Nash there
fore earned 7S.9 points on their yield
OF 50 1-3 bushels to the acre. This
made their final score 92.l, and their
nearest competitor was Peter DeBoer,

Many Of the samples sent were of
such poor quality that Judges refused

offered on the floor Of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce they would
have brought from ) to 10 cents under

scores less than 80 points by the seed
