In the preliminary series the

with the local boys winning in
an overtime period, sc to 80, in
Billings. The Cabooses have
come down the home stretch OF
their 14-game schedule with
four wins in their last six. They
dropped the two to the elongat-

lings but took the long end of
the scores against Joliet, From

Team Rolls For Two More Wins
The Laurel club moved into
high gear last week, after rest
ing for four days, and downed
the undefeated Red Lodge Coy
otes SO TO 80 and repeated the
next night with a 81 to 43 VIC
tory over Miles City. The double
win gives Laurel a record to
date Of six losses and II wins,
in addition to reconciling the
previous drubbing handed them
by Red Lodge and keeping their
record against class A schools
clean at four for four.
In the Friday night fracas
Laurel moved out in front by a
narrow margin, only to have
Red Lodge tie the count at 20
20 at the half. The third pc
Rod stayed on the same even
terms, ending in Laurel's favor,
90 to 81, but that was all. In
the last canto the Locomotives
broke lose with a 81 scoring
spree while Red Lodge counted
only seven
The highlight of the game
came in the second half when

IT'S NOT OFTEN that you see a
narrowing house in Montana 125 feet
long. This looked like an interesting
story so I stopped to ask the usual
one hundred and n questions.
The location was about 80 miles
south of Big Timber on the main
Boulder creek. The ranch was
Whispering Pines ranch, tucked in
a canyon, with cliffs towering up
ward to the top of Mount Contact,
10000 feet among the clouds.
But getting back to the farrow-
ing house-the outside was of ma
tive lumber, well battened. The
building was enough on the new side
so that only part of it was as yet
painted. It ran north and south,
with a row of windows every few
feet extending the full length Of the
west side.
rs narrowing Pens
Inside the building the first IL
feet was taken up with a grain bin,
then followed some 25 individual
narrowing pens. Each pen was 4 feet
4 inches wide by 10 feet long. A wide
alley ran the full length of the build

WITH ONE BULL hitting a top
price of $8,110, SO head of bulls and
cows sold at the John E. Rice polled
Hereford sale at the ranch near
Sheridan, Wyo., for a total of $780,
POI.
Purchaser of the top bull was
Amos Brulotte of Prosser, Wash,
who also purchased seven heifers
for a foundation herd. The Hiwan
ranch of Evergreen, Colo, took the
top selling female at $4,150.
An average of $1,549 was paid for
the 20 bulls offered and the 33 fe-
males brought an average of $685..
Swap Interests in Bulls
An interesting transaction includ-
ed in the sale was the two-way swap
in which Rice traded a half interest
in his Numode 10th, 1913 grand
champion polled Hereford bull at
the national, for a like interest in
WHR Helmsman 89th, SOL, 900
horned Hereford owned by the Hi
wan ranch of Evergreen, D. E. Bu-
chanan and John Casey, owners.
Top selling female of the sale, pur-
chased by the Hiwan ranch, was a

sold to a New Zealand breeder. Both
animals won first place at the ma
tional show this year.

S.8 Pigs Per Litter

My visit at Whispering Pines
ranch came soon after an eight-day
period in which % gifts had far
rowed. At that time the average lit
ter saved was 9.8 pigs.
These gifts were not purebred.
Their ancestry could probably be
pegged something like this: 5 per-
CEN Duroc, 5 percent Hampshire
and 90 percent Chester White blood
in each gilt. Welsh and Rutledge,
owners of Whispering Pines, used
only purebred bears in the breed
ing program, however; this because
they breed good feeders, are gen.
tie, virile, always same type all the
way through, and make top hatcher
hogs.
I'VE have been paying an aver
age of 500 for our boars. When we
buy them we purchase only from a
good breeder, then spray for lice
and quarantine them for 80 days
after we get them home. In this way,
and with no other hogs coming on
the place, we have had no disease
troubles at ALL" the said.
Feeding Program
The feeding program carried out
by 73-year-old Hiram Brown, herds
man, starts with the gifts in the
fall when he beds them down in
open sheds a quarter or half mile
from their feeding area. This forced

Water System
The watering system j n the build
ing provided regulation faucet out
lets at regular intervals along the
alley which were used to draw wa
ter to mix with feed and for flushing
out the pens with hose connections,
and a concrete trough that ran the
full length of the building and in
which water ran at all times. The
trough was just inside the alley
end of the narrowing pens and pro-
vided the drinking water for all the
hogs.
At the rear or east end of each
pen an outside door was provided.
Under construction is a concrete
apron running the full length of
the building that will serve as an
outside pen accessible from each
pen in the narrowing house. Each
pair of narrowing pens will be joined
as me pen outside. All pens are so
built that they may be taken out
and the house used for other pur-
poses during that part of the year
when it is not used as a narrowing
house.

Farley Takes Tops at
Horst Dispersion

THERE WAS LITTLE evidence o.
lowered cattle prices, uneasy stock
markets and lowered commodity
prices in the active bidding at the
John c. Horst dispersion of regis
tered Herefords at Glendive, Jan.
z. One of the largest crowds ever
to squeeze into the large sales ring
of the Glendive sales yard bid a
total of $3.50 for the 129 bred cows
and bulls offered in the sale.
The Horst sale offered 101 bred
females, including 2, 8 and 4-year-
old and older cows. The ~2-year-old
heifers averaged $3.50; ~3-year-old
cows, 1881; 4-year-old COWS, $305.
The remainder, including aged cows,
averaged $295. The Is coming q.
year-old bulls averaged $471.
Leo Farley, Armells Creek ranch,
Forsyth, was one of the top buyers in
the sale, both in number purchased
and in the quality he was consistent
ly selecting. The quality of the entire
offering was high, however. Breed
ing, smoothness, scale and type were
strongly evident throughout the
offering.
Buyers were present from three
states; many were present from
southeastern Montana and from the
Wolf Point-Plentywood area.
