MOST IMPLEMENTS RUST OUT
Proper Housing Will Offset Injury to
Large Extent-coating of Oil Is
Recommended.

Most farm implements rust out be-
fore they wear out. Proper housing
will Offset rust and corrosion to large
extent but in damp weather the best
method of preventing rust is to coat
all implanted parts of the machinery
with heavy oil, thick enough so it
win not run off. This coating keeps
air and moisture away and prevents
rust from starting.

Stock Raising on Range
Costs Next to Nothing,

The cost of raising cattle in the
range days was extremely low. The
average expense for beef steers was
from 60 cents to n dollar a year. A
fo]ur-year-old steer, ready for the
stockyards, frequently represented an
actual cash outlay Of less than four
dollars. His value on the range was
around 500, and if delivered at Fort
Benton or any of the remote railway
stations, he brought at least $50.
With deductions for interest on the
capital invested. expenses and GUS
tomary losses, the profit from cattle
raising in the early eighties is esti-
mated from 30 to 40 per cent a year.
Great fortunes were amassed. and
the country began to hear of the Mon
tana "cattle kings" Among these
were Conrad Kohrs, A. j. Davis,
Daniel A. G. Floweree and John
Ming. One Of the biggest cattle sales
In history was made in July, 1883,
when Conrad Kohrs, for Kohrs &
~Bielenberg, and Granville Stuart, rep
resenting Stuart & Anderson, bought
of A. j. Davis, of Davis, Hauser &
Co., 10000 head of cattle, paying
100000.

After a setback in the later eighties.
due in part to an unusually severe
winter and the resultant heavy NOR
tally among the unprotected herds,
and IN part to poor management, the
cattle industry assumed increased i'm
portance in the nineties. With two
exceptions, nor than 100000 head
OF cattle were shipped from Montana
to eastern markets annually for every
year between 1891 and 1910. The
maximum was reached in 1894, when
3o2,655 head were shipped. There
after the industry declined in volume
for a time, less than 10000 head be-
ing shipped in 1913.

"The braiding Of a~hundred minor

Montana Beef VIII Brine
100000 This Year

Sixteen million dollars will be re-
ceived this year by the farmers of
Montana for beef cattle shipped out
of the state, according to the estimate
of Seth Maxwell, state commissioner
Of agriculture. 1t was estimated on
September l that there we're 10000
milk COWS in the state, with a value
Of s 9,99S, 900, and $4,000 head of
other cattle. valued at $45, O5S, 900.
Last year 1926 head Of beef cattle
were shipped to markets out of the
state.
Although the public range has
largely disappeared, the number of
head and the value Of the cattle in
the state are greater today than they
were in the earlier wart Of the range
cattle period. On january l, 1885,
it was estimated that there were
$4,000 head of cattle in the state
valued at $50, 000 ,000.
Rise Of Stock Industry Marks
Third Great Epoch.
The rise OF the stock industry
marked the third great epoch in the
history of the state, the first two
periods having been marked by the
dominance Of the fur trading and min
ing activities. The raising Of cattle in
Montana, as in other parts Of the
northwest, followed close upon the
humiliation Of the buffalo. When
the native hards disappeared it was
found necessary, to insure a supply
Of fresh meat, to replace them with
steers and cows.

industry as the northern termination
