RAILROADS COMBINE
TO AID BREEDERS
Half Rate on Less Than Carload
Lots Of Pure Blood
Stock Granted

Butte.-The raising of pure-bred
cattle and horses in Montana will be
given stimulus by the action of all
railroads operating in the state, which
will reduce transportation charges on
less than carload lots so per cent.
Announcement of this reduction was
made at the Northern Pacific office.
1t was stated that the new regulation
was created specifically to benefit the
growers Of blooded stock. It is an
ticipated that much more shipping
will be done than was the case here
tofcre inasmuch as pure-bred stock
is rarely bought in large numbers.
The new rating does not apply to
race horses. The rates became effec-
tive within the state Thursday. Ship
ments from outside the state will be-
come affected by the rate February
10. The schedule will remain in eff
feet until December 81, 1925. In or
der to obtain the rates the certificate
Of registration of each animal ship
ped must be furnished by the shipper
and attached by the forwarding agent
Dairy farming is gradually taking
its place among the leading indus
tries CT Montana, Northern Pacific
officials stated, and said that becaus,
this new ruling permits the shipping
of stock in numbers that the small
grower can afford to buy, it will b
an excellent factor in the developing
of this industry.
