CATTLE OR NO CATTLE,
GOOD COWS ARE BEST

We have splendid pasture for cattle
or sheep on the Big Seven Ranch this
year.
However. we have made no effort to
buy any stock to put onto it but have
tried to get sheep on shares to ill the
pasture. but without success to date.
There is one consolation. and that
is the fact that if the grass is allowed
to grow it will carry good fires and
clear much land. thus raising assets,
as much or more than a man could
make on pasturing live stock during
the last three years. The home stock
kept will be fat as pigs if they have
run of all the pasture.
This year is going to be different
and while we never try to predict a
future market, it looks to us that any
one who can buy the right Kind of cat
! tie at the present low prices and has
plenty Of good tame pasture to run
them on would he in line to make some
good money on them this fall.
There is always this feature that
| works against the summer pasturing
proposition. Everyone who has sum
mer pasture and no winter feed has
| 10 buy in the spring and sell in the
| fall This puts us In direct market
competition with the western range
and in fact all other ranges. When
! the grass-fed cattle begin to come to
| market the price always drops until
| the big run is over and the packers
/ get the meat In their coolers. Then
as the stock begins 10 come slower the
! prices raise on tine remaining small
amount Of stock in the farmers hands
| and it raises just the same on the
cheap meat the packers have laid
away.
1t is generally best to buy in the fall
or winter and sell during the summer
months before the big run in the fall
TO make any money that way a man
must have plenty Of good tame hay
and must feed grain enough TO keel
the cattle gaining.
\ sil0 filled with peas and oats. sun
| flowers. or corn. often makes the diff
ference between profit and loss on feed
ing cattle in the winter.
There is no question but that thu
average Rusk county man will do bet
ter with Il high class of dairy cows
one year with another.

HIDES AND SOLE LEATHER

\ good hide is hardly worth taking
care of, at least the market will not
pay the expense Of sllinning, aud a
dollar or two is all a farmer can get
for Il COW hide
One Of our shoe cObblers says that
the United States leather barOnS hold
the price of sole leather at S1.23 to
$50 per pound. We have only one
way of correcting this evil and others
like it. and that is by 50 strong an or
ganization of the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton that we will be able to stop
these rank injustices.
Some profteers abroad and locally,
do not seem to know that the war is

continue to charge eXorbitant war

at leading centers is rising above the
point Of extreme depression Of last
