HOW THE PIG CLUBS OF BLAINE
FOSTERED HOG INDUSTRY

Judging competition and the encour
agement of the excellent placing O.
their hogs brought the club member;
home with new enthusiasm.
In 1922, the number of pigs pro.
duced through the clubs reached 81
ing a good herd in addition. The
exhibits we're the means of creating
much interest among farmers gen
orally. In connection with the boys
and girls club fair, which has been
an annual event for several years q
purebred hog show vas held with IS
purebred pigs shown. That year also
a Blaine county exhibit, representa-
tive of the agriculture of the county,
was sent to the state fair. A prom
inent feature was the live stock sec
ton in which pure bred pigs of club
members and a number of farmers
were shown, winning prizes and two
championships. The county's exhibit
to the Midland Empire Fair that year
was made up exclusively of pure bred
hogs.
All but five of the 1923 pig club
members completed their years work
producing pigs valued at over $3.50.
In addition to the club pigs several
club members produced from 40 to
so pigs for market and breeding pur-
poses. The development of the indus
try among farmers of the county has
warranted the organization of three
breeders associations. These have
a membership of so or and CO.
operate with the club members in ex-
tending the practice of raising pure
bred hogs. The club fair continues
an interesting event, exhibits are
sent to state and interstate fairs, and
this year a combined hog, poultry,
and corn show, in which all north
ern Montana counties participated,
was held in Blaine county.
"The popularity of pure bred hogs
in Blaine county" says County Agent
G.. W. G~ustafson, "is due largely to
the influence of club members"

PIONEER STOCKMAN
PLANS TO RETIRE
FAREWELL OF SIDNEY SAYS THE
RANGE DAYS OVER; DROVE
HERD TO THE WEST
Says Corn Culture Will Develop the
State Into Cattle Feeding Country;
Has Run Big Cattle Outfit For
Quarter of a Century.

Roy NJ. FarweIl, senior partner
of FarweIl Brothers, who are the
oldest cattIemen in the Sidney dis
trict, has sold out, with the inten-
ton of retiring, and will go to
Missouri and make his home. For
the last "a years the Farwells have
run an outfit in the ''Cross the
River Country and about 20 miles
up from the head of Benni Peer
creek.
In the spring of 1900 these people
were located with a COW outfit in
eastern South Dakota and awakened
to the fact that range was getting
short because the ''Honyaker'' was
rapidly making inroads by pre-empt-
ing land for homesteads. In those
days, short grass was something to
worry about when the cattleman had
a bunch of range stuff to look after.
In a manner that would give the
late Emerson Hough the nucleus of a
story, the Farwells loaded their wo-
men folks in a wagon, rounded up
the herd and started northwest,
knowing nothing of their destination
except that it would have to have
lots of grass. The overland trip end
ed on Benni Peer creek, where they
have ranched the last "a years.
With lots of water, good range and
but one neighbor within miles, these
folks prospered and established the
reputation of stability and success.
AS the years rolled on, that section
also became attractive to the 'Hon-
.aker" and the Farwells, deciding
that there was no more free range,
made up their minds to get out of
the business.
When these people came to Rich
land county, William Mckinley was
president and the nearest shipping
point was Wibaux, some so miles dis
tant, with not an automobile in Mon
lana or North Dakota. According to
Mr.. Farwell, he could at that time
have bought the entire lower Yellow
valley, including the land upon
which Sidney is located for s2.25
In acre.
With the proving that that section
s adapted to corn raising, Mr.. Far
we'll is of the opinion that the future
If the stock business will be parallel
corn and that the day of the range
S over as far as that section is con-
erned.

of Garfield county, not long ago, one
of the locally notorious "bad mem"
of the district which is under his ju-
risdiction, exclaimed "Huhl I'd like
to see that little shrimp arrest me
and take me to Jail"
Constable Kicks was called upon
to serve a warrant on this man re-
Gently. The constable, who is a man
of gentle voice, slight physique. and
unassuming manner, rode I'D alone
20 the cabin at nightfall, arrested
his man, ate supper and slept in the
same bed with his prisoner, and next
day delivered him safely to the sher-
if at Jordan, 40 miles away.
Residents of the western part of
Garfield county state that they are
enjoying the unusual quietude of a
law-abiding community ever since
Mr.. Kicks took office.
