during exceptionally bad years, such
as this year, there is a great loss.
But with MIR. Lindauer's system Of
ranching 80 acres will keep an animal
Ia good condition in very bad years,
and during ordinary years % acres
will more than maintain an animal.
The possibility of thus almost dOub-
ling the number of the herd on the
same amount Of range will in itself
amply pay the cost Of fencing.
Next in importance TO fencing is
the judiciOus feeding of cottonseed
cake before the cattle become too

clouds for signs of rain during dry
season, Mr.. Lindauer takes no
chances. lie begins TO feed before
the cattle reach the starvation point.
lie believes that by keeping the cattle
in good condition all the time il re-
quires considerable less feed when
feeding actually becomes necessary.
This year being unusually dry he be-
gan to feed as early rs the first Of
January.
The average amount of cake fed
10 the entire herd per day is one and
one-half pounds. Of course, the
weakest get more than this, while
others get considerably less. He sep

Feeding the above amount for a
period of $50 days at present prices
would cost $7.s7 per head.
The question was asked Mr.. Lin

sum OF money for feed, and an old
experienced cattle buyer and feeder
who was present answered that it
paid four times over because: az

-Four Tractors Unite n Making Sue
cess Of One Of Counly's
Biggest Ranches.

Ia spite Of the unusually dry year,
which has caused the death Of from
. to % per cent in some Luna county
herds OF cattle, Albert Lindauer will,
through his most excellent system Of
ranchmg, conserve ~ per cent Of his
cows and brand 90 per cent crop
If strong, thrifty calves.
The four chief factors that have
contributed 10 the splendid results Of
limited loss on this ranch are fencing
feeding COWS, providing sufficient
number Of watering places, and seq
regation OF bulls from the herd dur
ing the woodworking season.
This 26,IOO-acIe ranch is fenced
with so miles Of fence into five pas
lures. One pasture Is reserved fOI
the bulls during the nonibreeding
season and two Of the other four arr
always idle during the growing
season and reserved for winter range
This method allows the grass 10 e
to seed, so that the range is always
re-seeded. This, Mr.. Lindauer thinks
is very important in order TO main.

This buyer also says that when he
buys cattle 70 feed he always prefers
this kind Of cattle because they are
ready 10 eat the first day. they 70
into the feed LOT and they do not need
to undergo the great shrinkage that
other cattle do that have not been
taught 10 eat. The same Is true Of
these catile when they are shipped 10
distant points where unloading to feed
Is necessary. They know what
iroughs hay and coitonseed cake is
for and they lose no time getting Il.
When u comes TO water, Mr.. Lin
dauer honestly may be called a crank.
His range is well supplied with I'M
tainted water water 40 that none Of
his CATTLE need to travel more than
Two and one-half miles for q cool re-
freshing drink. The characteristics

them may be- called with the stencil

to the water, pollnting Il as they 90
IN and out, Is not found on this ranch.
Instead, Mr. Lindauer has all Of his
reservoirs securely fenced and water
is drawn from these through pipes
into tanks that never overflow and
are always kept clean and fresh. II
must truly seem like a cow heaven
to the cattle that come TO these places
To drink. II an animal should die
aear the watering place its carcass is
burned, thereby avoiding the nuisance
OF flies, filth and stencil.
The fourth important feature on
this ranch is the segregation of bulls
from the herd during tie non breed
ing season. This separation Of bulls
is from October first to July first Of
the following year. The bulls are fed
at an annual cost Of $25 per head.
Not less than five or six bulls are
allowed with each 100 COWS. This
method assures a strong, healthy,
virile animal which helps TO guaran-
Tee large percentage calf crop.
On arriving at this rancher's house
one is impressed that just recently il
has been cleaned up and put into
order for some special or show oc-
casion, but he is pleasantly surprised
when he learns that this ranch is al
ways kept in just such order. The
owner or any Of his help (he keeps

find "A hammer, saddle, tool or i'm
lplement Of any kind as easily in the
black Of night as in the light of day.
Every tool has its place and can al
ways be found in its place when not
rim use.
The ranch house is large, cool and
well supplied with running water. On
the library table are found the best
magazines and farm papers. I'M
provement in both equipment and
stock is the rancher's chief concern,
and he maintains that if he had not
used his present methods during these
last two unusually dry years he
would have been put out of business.
Mr.. Lindauer feels the need of ono
more important Improvement, which
will be added in the near future; that
is dipping vat to keep his cattle free
from lice.
