purpose of gathering accurate infor-
nation as to the probable development
of the dairy industry in Yellowstone
county, and the actual demand that
exists among the farmers for milk
cows. the county agents office is con-
Quoting a survey in the form OF a
letter to every farmer in the county
asking that those Interested in dairy
expansion make known certain facts
that can be put to use in the develop
ment of a dairy program that IS IN
keeping with popular demand. Among
other questions, each farmer is asked
if he is definitely interested in secur-
ing milk COWS, the number desired,
the breed, and whether or not he WISH
es registered or grade stock. The sur
vey also proposes to decide just Whlch

Sells Carload of Horses.-M. w. Ser
geant, superintendent of the Home
Ranch company, Flatwillow, returned
from Wisconsin where he sold a car
load of horses. Sergeant states that
he encountered a fair market, losing
money on but one horse and making
a fair profit on the balance. However,
he states that it is unsafe for anyone
to take a carload Of horses to an east
ern market without having eastern
connections to make all arrangements
necessary before the horses arrive,
With such preparations made in ad-
vance there is opportunity for a nice
profit on a carload of horses. There
is a surplus of horses in eastern Fergus
that can be turned into cash If the
owners will go about seeking a market
in a business like and systematic man
ner.
