From County Agent Of Taylor coun-

ranch in Montana is the jump being
made by Luman Sewell, son of Mrs.

Together with his broth esinfaw,
Luman has purchased ten thous-
and acre ranch, known as the OAR
rach ranch, located II miles south of
LIVINGSTONE and 81 miles from Vel
lowstone Park. This ranch is one
of the best known ranches in that
part of Montana and is very fine
ranch. More than 1900 acres are now
under fine system of irrigation. and
there are. $50 acres in alfalfa. On the
ranch ats1he present time there are
500 head of sheep 225 head of Here
ford cattle and IS head of fine horses.
\ In the machinery line there are two
big tractors, threshfng machine,
and all other small machinery neces-
sary to the conducting of a ranch on
big scale. Right now Is men are
employed, but during the busy seas
on many more are required. For
these men there is employed cook,
a gardener and foreman. Mr.. Sewell
will act as ranch manager and his
brother.in-law, Mr.. Kipp, will act as
business manager The ranch is
right in the heart of a great colnmun-
ity, not only for ranching purposes,
but if one wishes sport in the hunt
ing or fishing lines, there is an album
dance Of it. Yellowstone river, fine
trout stream, is almost at the door,
and then in season there is plenty of
bear meat.
The crops in this particular local
ity consist chiefly of wheat, barley
and oats, with alfalfa fine crop. The
purest of water is piped from the
mountains, and this is supplied all
over the ranch the buildings on the
ranch are said to compare very favor
ably with those on the Adams ranch
III Sac county.
Luman has just sold his land in
South Dakota, and after making trip
to that state win leave for Montana to
take up the new life. He expects to
be ready for business by the Goth of
this month. For the past two years
he has acted in the capacity of coun-
ty agent Of Taylor county, with Bed
ford al his headquarters, and al
though he handed in his resignation
more than two months ago, it has just
been accepted, and with much reluct-
ance on the rart Of the board of su-
pervisors. ~

hI,h school Lunian attended the
state Agriculture. college at An,es,
from which place h, graduated with
honors, After graduating from this
school he taught agriculture in The
high school at Bedford and was later
appointed county agent. While act.
ing as county agent he enlisted in the
service Of Uncle Sam and was in a
number OF southern camps, but was
not sent overseas. During the time
he served Uncle Sam his position in
Taylor county was held open for him
