In discussing the matter with Mr..
Powers, we are advised that this is an
entirely new feature in the livestock
industry and that it is an experiment
on their part, the principal object be-
ing to meet the present unsatisfactory
financial conditions by bringing right
to the homes of those interested in
Registered Shorthorns, at the least
possible expense the best annual Of
fering they have ever made, thereby
eliminating the heavy expense such as
advertising, auctioneer fees and other
expenses incidental to the usual auc-
ton sale.
Prize Winners.
The offering will include several
cows, some with calves at foot, year.
ling heifers and yearling bulls, and we
are advised that the cattle will prove
a revelation as to type, quality and
condition. Many Of the cattle are
sired by their herd bull, Earl of Glen
coe, a grandson of Sultan Stamp of
the Cruickshank Victoria family, and
several of the COWS are bred to their
junior herd bull, Mar Supreme, a half
brother to Lady Supreme, the latest
International Grand Champion. 1t
will be remembered that their two herd
bulls stood first an dsecond at the Pa
cific International Live Stock Show at
Portland, Oregon, last November.
We are advised the cattle they are
offering include several members of
their sensational 1920 show herd, many
of them blue ribbon winners at Mon
tana and North Dakota state fairs as
well as elsewhere. Mr.. Powers stated
they have a desire to make this VEN
ture a success and for this reason have
included in this sale several head that
they would not otherwise consider SELL
ing, in order that they may clearly
demonstrate the advantages in the
breeding of registered Shorthorns, to
the farmers of Montana, and that as
good as the best are being produced
within our state.
The Mar Car herd is a feder ac-
credited herd under the bureau of an
imal industry of the Department of
Agriculture, and each animal will be
guaranteed to prove a breeder and
pass a siXty-day retest. The cattle will
be offered at reasonable prices. indi-
viduality and quality considered, and
liberal terms will be arranged for the
accommodation of responsible parties.
The cattle included in this trip have
been fitted under the watchful care of
Old Scot, John Macdonald, who has
been in charge of the herd for the past
two or three years, and during that
time has brought out several cham
pions and grand champions at some of
the leading fairs of the Northwest, as
well as several head that have sold for
sensational prices. He has never failed
to top the sales of the Missouri-Y Vel
lowstone Pure Bred Live Stock Asso-
citation at Williston, with his offering
from the Mar Car Farms, and he will
have charge of the herd on this tour.
"Mac" is known as one of the cleverest
herdsmen in the west, having made the
business his life work.
We predict that this project will
have a marked success and do much to
encourage the restocking of Montana
with more and better livestock, and
will also prove an educational feature
that will tend to start farmers in the
right way with the right kind of cat.
