FOur-FamiIy Operation

In some recent work I have had the
occasion to observe rather closely a
sheep ranching operation in which four
married brothers cooperate very well,
and do much of their own work in the
operation of some 5000 head of breed
ing ewes. This operation is extremely
efficient, as sheep ranching operations
of this size go. The ranch has consist
emily marketed each year around 80
pounds of lamb for each breeding eve
operated, yet the present annual operat-
ing cost of the ranch, including current
ranch wages for the four brothers as an
operating cost, is around $40 per eve.
This ranch during the past five years
has earned return of Is per cent upon
the present market value of the total
ranching investment, after paying the
current ranch wages to all of the four
brothers.
Where the natural operating factors,
such as climate and the local balance
between seasonal lands, do not put too
much of a limitation upon the family
type stock ranch, we may expect to see
a continued trend toward the develop
ment of such ranching operations
throughout the western states.

Managing Farm and Ranch
Trend In Montana Is Toward
Family Type Stock Ranches
By MONT H. SAUNDERSON

is to say that ranch is too small for
such description when the operator and
family labor are under-employed, and
too large for such a designation when
the main work of the operator is man.
agement and supervision of hired labor.
In the family type ranching opera
ton the cattle ranch is considerably
more adaptable, as to size. than is the
sheep ranch. This results from the fact
that the minimum-sized management
unit for the sheep ranch is one range
band of ewes, 1000 head or more. This
fact and the fact that sheep have a
higher labor requirement per animal
than do cattle means that even the one
band sheep ranching operation must as
a rule hire considerable labor.
There is no such limitation on the size
of the family type cattle ranch. Such
a ranch may vary in size anywhere
from one hundred to several hundred
of cattle, depending mainly upon the
amount of the family labor that is avail
able.

amount of the family labor that is avail
able.
Labor Requirement
The labor requirements in stock
ranching operations can vary markedly
as between areas and kind of ranching,
and this may have a definite influence
upon the trend toward or away from the
family type ranching operations For
example, the cattle ranching operations
of the Montana Big Hole basin area
have high labor requirement because
of their long winter feeding season. This
means that where a family type cattle
ranching operation might be able to
handle two hundred head of cattle in
a Montana plains country cattle ranch
ing area, the comparable operation in
the Big Hole area could handle only a
hundred head. Inevitably, the ranching
operations of the Big Hole area have
trended toward the larger operations
Rather often, we see more than one
family cooperating in the operation of
a stock ranch. Where more than one
family can thus work tremendously in
such an operation the size of the fam
lily type ranch can be considerably larg-
err, and, as rule, more efficient and
successful.

ALAsJA DAY FESTIVAL
 by Mary Frances Hall

Buttons, bows, furbeloWs and Mrs. B. D. Stewart add up to some very lovely and imagin ative costumes. There she stood over the ironing board pressing a long pink streamer of shiny taffeta. She looked like Alice in Wonderland with all the bows, flowers and trims scat tered around her. Draped on the sofa was a lovely half fin ished creation fashioned from lustrous light blue and silver material from a discarded dress ing gown.
 She explained that the hand some coffee brown jacket had
 been purchased from a white
 elephant sale for fifty cents. Against the other wall stood a dummy showng off another costume consisting of a soft avocado green jacket trimmed in ink taffeta with its own pink full length underskirt gar nished with circular bands of avocado. '"This pink taffeta came from Sears" stated Mrs. Stewart. '"The whole costume cost about three dollars" {" A closet revealed more of her work. Again the material used for these costumes looked ele- gant and cost very little. Mrs IStewart fashioned her owr costume for the Alaska Day Fes Etival with the ability of true artist. "One thing led to an lother," she laughed.
 ! Mrs. Stewart said she would be glad to assist the women Q \ Sitka with their own Festiva ! costumes. Her advice and idea { are well worth the trip to thu \ Cathedral building.
 \ Mrs. Stewart is very modes
 about the talent she display for designing and creating or iginal costumes from her ow1 imagination. You don't knov how much fun it is," she say
