Makes Money with Calves.

Office M. Maize, with ranch south
of Libby, is a local farmer who is
gradually developing valuable ranch
and making money at the same time.
He is a firm believer in opportunities
for profit making in dairying and is
rapidly building up herd of dairy
cows. While this is being done he
is seizing onto every other opportuni-
ty to add to his bank roll and make
the ranch real money maker. Mon
day he brought few-weeks old calf
to town and sold it to the butchers
for s35. He says there is mighty
good money in veal and beef now at
the present price. He buys calves
whenever he gets an opportunity
keeps them few weeks or even long
er and then turns them to the butcher
for a good price. He is also milking
several cows.
