COYOTE STORY
(GeneSee NeWS)


NOrdby Brothers, owners of the
Genesee Stock Farm, report the sale
of $1,000 worth of blooded stock dur
ing the past week, consisting of Short
horns and Duroc-Je Jerseys, five animals
bringing this neat sum.
One gilt was sold to Archie Kane
Jr, of Moscow, and one SOW to the
! Standpoint experiment station.
John Mccormack, who is an extern
sive wheat grower and livestock man
of the Lewiston country, bought one
roam bull and a COW with calf at foot.
The bull, hampton Villager, which
| Mr. Mccormack purchased to head
his herd of Shorthorns, has won the
admiration of cattlemen for his re-
markable beef producing qualities, his
splendid Shrothorn characteristics,
which he displayed to an unusual de-
gree, and as well for his passlveness,
great SCALE combined with ample
style and pattern, making him a very
fit and commendable individual to
head a herd of useful Shorthorn cat
tie.
.Barmpton villager, head of the
Nordby herd for two years, will be
succeeded by younger bull, Nonpa-
reil Dale, whose sire is by an Avon
dale bull that stood first in his class
as a junior calf at the Chicago Inter
national. On his maternal side he is
a straight Cruickshank Nanperail.
He will be assisted little later by
Balnakyle Resolution, roam, sired by
Imported Balnakyle Count, bred by
Cameron of Scotland, whose maternal
ancestry is of the Cruickshank Match
less family of Shorthorns.
The Nordby herd of ShrOthorns is
fast taking its place among the lead
ing herds of the Northwest and their
splendid quality is recognized by
breeders of Shorthorn cattle.
Coyote and Sheep Sleep Together.
1t says in the Good Book that the
sheep and the goats shall lie down to-
gether." But z. Driscoll tells us a
story that has that backed off the
map 1t seems that last fall when |
Fred Hampton sold the Hampton &
Driscoll sheep he kept ten lambs, and |
hey were in a small pasture and used
/ barn for sleeping quarters and Mr.:
)riscoll tells us that a coyote OF that I
leighborhood concluded that the barn
would make a good place for his resi-
lence also so 1t dug hole under the
yarn and made it's home there with the
heep and accordin6 to the story had
,een there for some time but had not
nolested the woo1ly flock in the least.
In order to take no chances of the
oyote becoming hungry and tired of
atching squirrels and rabbits, two
f the farm hands took the dogs and
vent to the barn the other evening
nd when the animal ran out of the
arm they gave chase and it was
aught and killed. =
Idaho being totally dry and Mr..
,riscoll being temperate man, there 1
every reason to believe the story. !
