STOCK RAISING NEEDED.
FOR GOOD FARMING

One OF the peculiar things about
North Dakota faymers, who are ideal.
ly located for stock raising, Ia that
few of them appreciate the money
making possibilities in keeping a few
COWS, always raising their calves and
increasing their herds, instead OF sell
ing the calves and yearlipgs, which
destroys the herd and increases the
cost Of beef and meats. Burleigh
county needs more cattle to eat the
hay and grain, straw and r%oughness
that is otherwise wasted or sold and
| shipped away, instead Of fertilizing
and building up the soil and increas
ing farm land fertility and values.
One of the local dealers, Mr.. Guss.
ner, who is q heavy buyer Of beef cat.
tie, finds it necessary to buy calves
and young cattle and feed them for
months in order to have a supply for
his market; otherwise he has to go
out Of the state or to market and
bring in cattle to get meat enough to
| supply his trade located in the center
Of a country where cattle should be
the great source of revenue to the
farmers. Mr.. Gussner says the short.
age is caused iby the sale of veal and
shipping young stock to market, which
should be used to consume their home
grown feed and increase their herds.
Dairymen fail to use their opportuni.
|ty in this way.
Farmers should breed up their
herds by keeping pure bred males and
developing a better grade Of cattle,
such as Herefords, or the roam or
red Durhamn. These breeds are easy
to keep, they cross nicely, in mixed
breeds, make better meat, fattening
easily and sell for more money, in any
market. They stand the climate bet
ter and are good rustlers for feed.
1t would pay the smaller farmers to
bring up the quality of their herds
by getting full-blood animals, even at
an increased cost, or several could
buy an animal in partnership, and use
him together. The greater value In
pure bred stock will make it well
worth the trouble.
1t seems remarkably strange to 90
through the country and see grain,
hay and r%oughness going to waste be-
cause Of lack of cattle to eat 1t up.
Much of this land could be bought or
rented cheaply, a well, put in with
windmill and shut-of float, to auto
matically supply water so the cattle
would need no attention. from their
owner. Call at my pasture and see
this water supply at work.
Some Of the local farmers and
stockmen have full4blood cattle, as
Alex. Mcdonald, in the state land de-
partment, of this city, has a fine pure
bred Durham herd at Glencoe, in EN-
mons county; E. j. Warren, 0 the
DR.. Adams place, north of Burleigh,
has Durhams. Mr.. Swift, south OF
town, has a herd Of H%erefords, while
Chas. Swanson has a good grade OF
cattle. Louis Larson at Dry Point,
and James Sperry have good cattle;
also J. B. Sperry Of Stewartsdale,
who has full-blood Durhams. You
could easily buy a full-blood male
)or female and bring up your herd In
quality, which It will pay you to- do.
A young calf might be bought and rails
ed, or a good yearliag, which would
