Big Spectators Passing.

1907.
Unintelligent speculation of 20
years ago has been replaced by
intelligent speculation and sound
investment. The big spectators are
practically gone, he asserts. Present

Lease in New Mexico
After considerable difficulty he
finally located a 81, 000-acre ranch
some 20 miles from Roswell, N. M.
The only Improvement on the place
was a large cabin, but to one so
recently from the drought. stricken
northern ranges it was a coWman's
paradise. Several small lakes and
the Pecos river promised abundant
supply of good water and the knee
high grass seemed to stretch end
lessly. He leased it for $500, a month
and wired for the cattle.
A few days later, on another mis-
cradle wintry afternoon, the melan-
choly wall of the locomotive whistle
echoed from the hills as the special

yards and picked up speed on the

The Way of the Herdsman
"reminiscences of the Year 1919
By TOT KERTTULA

MONTANA stockmen will long
W. remember the year 1919. All
summer long they scanned the skies
for sign of rain, only to see a pale
orange sun rise into a sky hazy with
smoke of countless forest fires. At
night they watched it set, redder
still, behind hills which doomed
vaguely through the ever-thicken-
ing smoke. Hot dry winds swirled
the dust over ranges long since
barren and the few surviving grass
hoppers chirped hungrily. There
was little grass, water or hay
for the animated skeletons which
were driven down from the noun
tains by the early SHOWS. There was
only hope left.
Winter came early and all the
moisture withheld so long from this
Mckless land, fell in huge white
flakes. Trainload after trainload Of
hay came in and retailed for $50 or
more a ton. Spring, when it finally
came, the latest in memory of man,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-15

With eight carloads, the Prices
were the largest shippers, but there
was also some stock from other
ranches which did not send men
with them. Actually it was a COM
munity experiment to determine the
feasibility of wintering in the south
west during years of short hay crops.
At the rate of $198 a car the freight
came to about $4,000, but the rail-
road agreed to haul back any that
survived at half rate. To a snow
bound stockman with starving cattle
the proposition did look attractive.
For, roughly speaking, $40 transport
tation and so cents a month pastur-
age the stock could be pulled through
the winter. There were, however,
other factors which complicated the
situation.
Fortunately the last lap of the
journey, from the siding to the.
range, was short, hardly more than
crossing a bridge, for IA inches of
snow fell the night before the cattle
arrived. A long drive under such
conditions would have been difficult
and resulted in heavier losses.
Situation Looked Rosy
However, within a week the snow
had melted, there was plenty Of
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-15

bunch grass and the situation began
to look rosy. In fact, there was little
for the three riders to do but ride
the river to pull out cows which had
begged down in the quick sands.
Accustomed to the hard gravel bot
toned creeks of their mountain
ranges, they lacked the intuition of
the native stock and Numbered in
again and again.
In spite of seemingly ideal condi-
tons the stock gained slowly. Grass
was plentiful and palatable, water
good, and the climate mild but the
results shippers had been led to ex-
pect did not materialize. Perhaps
the change of climate, different types
of forage, and the condition of the
cattle were all contributing factors,
but it soon became apparent that
keeping the stock alive was about
all the trip would amount to.
Then Came Flies
In March the weather turned hot
and dry and the ideal winter condi-
tons were over. The stock plunged
into the water holes and the river
in an attempt to escape the flies
which were unusually bad.
The flies were especially severe
on calves which should have been
at least several months old to stand
them. The COWS had been bred to
calve in early spring and the late
March calves we're neither old
enough or strong enough to take
the beating. Frequently, when they
