Rejoicing in the thought of doing a
lot of business, he asked the hotel pro-

'"This is quite manufacturing

"Oh, yes; we're pretty busy" was
the proud reply.

"YOu did" agreed the proprietor,
dropping his voice, confidentially, "but
they are all at the flour mill. You see,
we got the whistles we should want for
the factories we are going to have, and
put them in to make the town sound
more lively. Quite 'citified,' amt it?''

SHIP CATTLE FROM MONTANA
Estimated That Between 100000 and
100000 Head Have Been Shipped
Out of State.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
An unusually large movement of cat
tie out Of Montana has taken place in
1919, according to the bureau of ami
mai industry. Normally, the move
ment of cattle from this state is be-
tween 100000 and 100000 head an
nually. 1t is estimated that between
ooO'OOO and 100000 have been shipped
out for all purposes. Figures are not
avallable for similar comparison in
regard to sheep, but reports from rep
reSentat1veS of the department in the
field indicate that between 100000 and
oOo,OOO sheep Of all classes of range
stock were moved out of the North
west for feeding and grazing in Sec
lions east and west of the drought
area.
These animals went first into the
available nearby pasture lands in the
Dakotas and Nebraska. Later they
were moved into the middle cornbelt
states, into Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
still later into Texas and New Mex
leo. The movement into the two lat
ter states continued on into November.
The heavy snowfall that occurred
early in the season overlook some
ranchmen who were taking chances on
the weather and they found it neces-
sary to move their herds quickly. It
is thought that enough railroad cars
were made available to fill all orders.
Stock cars moving west were given
preference over dead freight
Information that has reached the
department indicates that the move
ment of cattle into New Mexico and
Texas has been satisfactory, and with
certain exceptions, the same holds
true with respect to Minnesota, Wis
consin, and Michigan. Reports indi-
cate that considerable movement of

Forty years ago, just as the city of

railroad, shopkeeper had the poor
judgment to lay in complete stock
of goods. The stock is still there, for
the disgusted owner shut up the store
and has never since opened it for buSi-
ness. Lowell now is populated by

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Exposure to Wind and Storms Is Cause
of Much Loss-Protection
Is Not Costly.

Great sheep losses come through ex-
posure to wind and storm. In all parts
Of the country farms that have sheep
on them will do we'll to provide shelter
from bad weather. These do not cost
so much as to have the sheep die in
the cold and wet. If we had all the
money that is lost in sheep in any one
year through exposure to storm we
would be far richer than we are.

nearby territory for summer grazing

adequate for live stock remaining on
the ranges and there is now no ex-
pectation of serious shortage.

PROFIT FROM BABY BEEVES
Farmer With Pasture Land Could
Raise Few Without Great Ex-

Every farmer who has pasture land
could raise a few baby beeves profit
ably without great expense. In addi-
ton to the pasture a silo will be need
ed and single crop. It may be ad-
visable in addition to plant soiling
crops to supplement the silage and
pasture. Some hay should be available
and enough grain to finish the calves
for market.
