RANCH 1ALK.Chas. F. Ellis o( Mandan, N. Dak., offers for sale or trade some fine regis- 1 tercd bulls, North Dakota bred. There I are four Herefords and three Galloways, lt;all excellent individuals. i-io-tl |It is reported that a rancher south ■ living on the Getz place had 60 cattle i drift in the storm a week ago and lost 1 1 head ol the number. 1E. S. Clough: 1 have not learned of any losses of stock on the Cannon Ball ! river and the country south. We have ' lost 2 head of cattle since last fall. At the home ranch we are feeding cows and young stock. At the lower ranch ' we have'200 head of cattle which are given one foddering of hay a day and graze the rest of their living. It has been a hard winter for hay, but we have enough to last until April and so we feel perfectly easy.Dueald Campbell of Emmons county says those who have made the most from taking a flock of sheep, are men who can manage a flock of two or three hundred head without hiring any additional help. Members of their own families herding them in the summer aud helping to feed , them in the winter. In this way a set*: tier and his children are given employ-; ment that pays auite well; but the inex-! perienced man who goes into the sheep ! business and hires all his help, is taking . chances of loss instead of profit. It often happens that the poor man who in-i vests no money, but takes a small flock on , shares,goes slow and carefully and learns , the business, makes far more than the , man who buys a large flock and depends . on hiring help.1 S. Sedore had a little bad luck at his ) sheep ranch near South Heart in the , storm last week. The morning of the r 1st Mr. Sedore took the train to Dickinson to gtt some supplies and by thet time he arrived the storm had set in and- he was unable to get back until the fol*; lowing morning. The sheep, some over 1600, were taken out to graze by Thomas- Roberts. The storm came up suddenly s and Mr. Roberts did his best to get the2 sheep back into the corrals, but, unaided 1 in the fury of the wind and snow, he was- unsuccessful and the sheep passed the 5 ranch and commenced to drift. Mr., Roberts staid with the band all night f In the morning, after his terrible night s on the prairie, without food or shelter,; he found that a few hundred had been• cut ofl from the main band and that out a of the number 60 bad perished. If Mr.Roberts could have kept the sheep to-r gether be would not have had any loss n and as it is Mr. Sedore is well satisfied, n H. C. Miethe: Don't think there were e any losses of stock on account of the- storm out our way. The Medora-Sand e Creek mail carrier made his regular 50-• mile trip the day of the storm,^ A report came in from the north this week that Wm. Crist had lost several s hundred sheep during the storm. The re* e port has not been confirmed. The last re-e port Mr. Cota had was before the storm• and Mr. Crist wrote that they were plow-” ing and getting along as well as could beexpected considering the deep snow and :r the severity of the weather. e Secretary Wilson of the Interior has e not given any information as to when he n will send out federal Inspectors further than that the work will be taken up when e the weather gets suitable. The state ^ inspectors who have been in the field for about three weeks, have not been able to aceomplish much owing to the severi-. ty of the weather.
