said the cream buying business was

Tells Of Pioneering Days
L. A. Little, Of Fayettc, spoke Of
the old days of cream buying. He
bought out far out in the country
and had to deliver at Dickinson, his
nearest rail point. From reminisc-
enccs Of his business he lapsed into
some on social affairs in the Bis
marck Of the early sos. One story
vas his recollection Of a shooting in
a saloon, one Of those "boots on
affairs. In this instance, however
there was a bishop visiting a jim
Marshall here. SO it was decided ia
ask him to start the funeral with
some religious trimmings. An ennis
sary was sent to the Marshall home
and the bishop was routed out OF
bed and asked to officiatc at the
obscquics in the saloon. He said he
would come.

buyers and enrolling them for menu

ing here was called for organization.
Due to the rain, not more than a
score Of the buyers attended. Word
came from Glen Ullin that water
was running over the bridge there
and a party of the buyers from the
western end failed to leave there
during the day in fear of bad roads.

Secretary Emerson submitted a
financial statement and asked for
an audit, but the association decided
that, as he was operating as the rep

PENNEY WILL Send
FAMOUS GUERNSEY
HERD AROUND FAIRS
Will Start of With Exhibit at
National Dairy Show at
st. Louis Grounds

New York, June 1.-THE recent re-
turn Of ]. G. Penney. founder Of the
J. c. Penney Co., from . trip around
the world is closely followed by his
announcement that he Will shortly
send his internationally famous herd
of purebred Guernsey cattle on q CIR
cult of state fairs and dairy shows.
It was with this herd Of cattle that
the chain store magnate won the
greatest list Of prizes ever awarded to
any one breeder at the National Dairy
show at Memphis, Tenn, last year.
This year this exhibition will be
transferred to permanent headquar-
tiers at st. Louis, where . large ex-
position section has been constructed
with building especially designed for
the showing Of dairy cattle.
Mr.. Penney has announced that he
will take his show herd to the Ma
tional this year, a well as to q large
number Of other fairs and exposi.
tons.
Included in the show herd is Mixter
May Princess, who holds the worlds
record for production, reproduction
and type. In the past four years this
famous Guernsey COW has produced
3484 pounds Of butter. 6o03 gallons Of
milk and has been the dam Of five
calves.
During the past five years, Mr..
Penney has been devoting an incre1s-
ingly large amount Of his time to the
breeding Of Guernsey cattle. He gives
as his reason the fact that better
foundation stock Is needed for dairy
herds to make dairy farming profit.

Herds are now being developed In
many parts Of the country from

had covered a third Of the distance
the rifle cracked again and my hat
leaped and fell over my face. Losing
my balance, I reelcd back against the
cliff.
It seemed likely that a third shot
would put an end to the foremost col
lector of pistols in San Felipe county
and I stayed where I was. The sun
was beginning to set beyond the crest
Of the Skeletons. It grew perceptibly
darker. What were the mans In
tentions? Perhaps he merely intended
to keep me out of the slash. Holding
my breath, I edged away from the
slash. Nothing happened. Appar-
Ecntly I might take myself off, but I
mustn't 60 into the slash.
Why? It didn't take me long to
speculate about it. If the slash was
not a new opening into the compli-
Gated workings of the Two Brothers
mine, what was It? The marksman on
the hillside was guarding a recently
exposed ledge of gold bearing ore.
Who is it?" I muttered. "Furie-
Dillon?"
If MacNair was right in his as
sumption that Furie knew something
about the specimen we had found in
Ogden's desk it might be Furic.
My immediate concern was to get
away. With my eyes upon the slope
opposite I made my way along the
trail, half expecting the smack of a
bullet. But 1t didn't come and pres
emily I was out in the desert again.
The sur had gone. Into the shrill
cry of the wind had come a human
note as aWeSome as a voice from a
tomb. Little wheels and WhirlS of
sand sprang up, danced, died. The
sand haze nipped my throat, stung
my nostrils, watered my eyes. A cur
iouS sense of the desert holding itself
in leash, of malign forces gathering
beneath this outward tranquility, af-
fectcd me and / began to run.
When I had come within 100 yards
OF the nearest building the wind
screamed like a herd of terrified
horses. The ferocity of the wind was
beyond conception. It took me into
Its arms and, spinning me like a top,
ran with me screaming down the
street. Abruptly it let me 60 and for
a moment I hung in a little pocket in
the wind. Geysers Of sand sprang up
from the Garth, ropes of sand fell
from the sky, and I saw them driven
by the bellows of heaven into the
revels of a pit full of fiends let loose.
And then, suddenly, q blast of sand
poured into my face. binding me;
the wind picked me up again, spun
me, and hurled me against the side of
q building. Pinning me, it smote
me blow upon blow until I thought
my senses would leave me. My body
felt beaten to a pulp. and my face
was singing and bleeding from tiny
cuts inflicted by the gravel -toothed
wind.
Once again the wind picked me up
and sent me spinning down the street.
Then 1t smote me sidewise. I pitched
through an open door and went head
long.

allowed, although horses doing heavy
work and on dry feed may need
more.

Breeding hogs should be fed with
the idea Of building up = frame to
support the body for several years,
rather than for eight or nine months.
Thus q higher percentage Of protein
and mineral feeds must be given to
breeders, and they should have the
run Of good pasture. Corn in guam
titles equal to one-fourth Of the ra-
ton, shorts or middlings, . little
fish meal or tankage, should be sup
piled with pasture. Skim milk or
buttermilk is good. Lightweight
oats never should be fed.
Studies Of $4,000 cows on test in
dairy herd-improvement associations
show that the big cows within q
breed excel in production Of milk
and butterfat and in income over
cost Of feed. In one breed the cows,
averaging 1900 pounds in weight,
produced SO pounds more butterfat
yearly than 600-pound cows Of the
same breed. The cost of feed for
the larger cows was $50 higher per
COW, but they returned SAB more in
annual income over cost Of feed.
