HORSES and CATTLE
COMING BACK STRONG
SAYS MONTANA MAN

Both horses and cattle are coming
back strong, according to Joseph A.
Strand, a Montana rancher near Liv-
ingston, in an interview in the Park
County News of that place. Mr.. A.
Strand has just returned from a trip
to the Chicago market and Canton,
Ohio. He had the following interest
ing things to say Of stock conditions
as he saw them:
Most of the western beef is TOP
market stuff, according to Mr.. Strand
while the poorer kinds come from the
east of the Mississippi. He states that
the western cattleman who takes care
to send beef of uniformly high qua
hty to the market is assured a top
price, and it is useless to send any
other kind, as the market is badly
glutted on low quality stuff while the
demand for prime beef is going un-
satisfied.
II believe the cattleman is due for

/ found a growing demand for good
horses, and no young stock coming
on. the indications are that there is
going to be an acute shortage of
horses, and the rancher who starts
now to produce good draft stock is
going to find a splendid market wait
ing for his colts when they are matur-
ed.
II did not see any good horses in
Montana or the Dakotas on the trip.
The horses all along the line are small
and not capable of heavy draft work.
In the Dakotas five-horse teams were
used for work that smaller teams of
good horses could have done better.
81 talked with representatives, of
one eastern Montana ranch who join
ed our stock train. They said a few
years ago they kept good stations and
were proud of their horses. They hav-
emit branded a horse on their range
now in about six years, and the coun-
try is overrun with wild cayuses which
are not worth their feed. There's 60
ing to be a big demand for good hors-
es in the near future"

another prosperous season soon," said
Mr.. Strands. "At this time of year
the railroads should be crowded with
stock trains going to market. But l
found strings of empty stock cars on
sidings all along the line between here
and Chicago. While several days ago
the Chicago market was glutted with
10000 cattle in one day the quality
was generally lower than the prime
market demands and a cattle short
age is imminent.
"The demand for high class beef is
far beyond the supply, and the in
crease in demand is growing faster
than the beef to supply it. While the
market will always be o~versupplied on
lower qualities, the growing demand
for prime beef is going to put the
western cattleman back on his feet if
he will grow the highest quality beef
to satisfy the prime market demand"
$500 For Good Teams
Asked about the horse market in
the east Nj. Strands said:
81 did not see a first class team of
horses on the trip until l got back in
Indiana and Ohio. Back there l saw
a number of good teams of horses
weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds. There
is a good demand for horses there, and
good teams are worth around $500.

Not far from the train on which
this is written in Arkansas City,
Kans., there lives a dog, name I'M
known, and all the rest of his life
that dog will believe in miracles.
His owner probably dead by
this time, was Warren Hardy,
man of quick temper. Selling
his shotgun by the end of the
barrel, Hardy hit the dog with the
butt. Neither he nor the dog
knew the gun was loaded. Hardy
is in the hospital, and probably
won't rccove~.
All in one second the dog felt
the blow, heard the explosion,
saw his cruel master stretched
on the ground. Knowing nothing
about ~gunpowder, that dog will
always believe in miracles, and
also in a special providence that
avenges dogs, when they are hit
with the butt end of a gun.

Payers Are

RECORDS SHOW DELINQUENT
TAXES DECREASED BY S3,000.-
90 SINCE 1928, SHOWING TIMES
ARE IMPROVING.

Cne of the county officials has made
an interesting little study in COM
paritive delinquent taxes for the years
1923 and 1924 and passes his findings
on to the public through the Gazette.
Official report for the two years re-
veal that the delinquent Tax for 1924
is almost $3,O00.00 less than for 1928,
showing slightly improved condition
in the townships of the County.
The banner township in the Coun-
ty is Granite Rock which carries off
the honors by not having a cent OF
delinquent tax for 1924. Morgan
township comes next in order with
only very small amount and is in
turn followed very closely by Sher-
man township. In the villages North
Redwood bears the distinction of be-
ing the only one that has a clean
slate, all taxes for 1924 having been
fully paid.
While the $3,OOO.OO improvement.
does not indicate any startling re-
duction it does show chat there Is
the long looked for financial improve
ment and even a slight one is most
gratifying. The Gazette is indebted
to Register of Deeds A. D. McRae
for the above facts and figures.
