Ranch in Four Parts The ranches are in Beaverhead county, three miles frop Wisdom and 70 miles from Butte. The ranch is divided into four parts as follows: Home ranch ‘ of 5000 acres with lieadquarters building, an eight -room house, including hot and.cold water and bath; a large barn, costing $7,- 000; blacksmith shop and outfit; fenced and practically all under irri- gation; water from the Big Hole river with canals and laterals cover- ing the entire property. Ranch of 1,280 acres, adjoining the forest reserve, watered from the Big Moose Horn creek with nine miles of main ditch and numerous laterals; good buildings and fine springs; all fenced. Ranch of 640 acres, irrigated from Swamp creek, ,all under irrigation. Big Hole ranch of 2.300 acres; ex- cellent buildings; stock corrals re- cently built, cost $3,000; large barn and blacksmith shop; practically\ all in grass; open meadow under irriga- tion from Lake creek, three miles dis- tant; ditch along \hog back\ distri- buting water both ways. Seventy Miles Fencing Taken as a wh - ole there are five sets of buildings, .including corrals. all fairly well equipped, costing at least $40,000. There are 70 miles of fencing which cost $25,000. The irrigation ditches cost about $100,- 000. During the last year 5,000 tons of hay were harvested on the property. For the last five years the ranch has run about 2,000 head of cattle and about 400 head of horses. It is con- sidered,.one of the best stock and hay ranches in the west. It is on the Park -to -Park highway from Glacier to Yellowstone National park, with a good automobile road to Dillon, Butte, and Helena. The soil is mostly a heavy black loam and clay mixture with sandy loam in some places. It is practical- ly free from rock. Exclusive of cattle, the personal nroperty inrluded in the sale is com- posed of all farming equipment. all velued at $10.000. One ranch has 160 acres of timber, which furnishes fuel and wood for fencing and\ build- ing. Mr. Herman will take possession of the property at once. He already is an extensive owner of Montana stock ranches and ordinarily runs 3,- 000 head of cattle. CORN CULTUREd TREASURE STATE BELIF.VE SEE.D HAS BEEN PRO- PAGATED ADAPTED TO CON- DITIONS IN WEST That corn grows in Montana was demonstrated by the numerous prizes won by the Montana corn growers at the International corn show, recently held in Chicago, and many demands for see& are being received by the Montana growers. The secretary of the Miles City ch'amber of commerce is in receipt of a communication from F. H. Itarnee, said to be a prominent farmer of An- tonio, Colo., In which the writer asks for a list of the prize winners in the Eastern Montana ('orn show which was held recently in Mlles City. Stating that lie Is desirous of get- ting in touch with these men he Is of the opinion that Niontana corn will prove to be a good proposition for hls country. It ig learned that Antonio, Colo., is located on one of the highest points In the Rocky mountain regions of the state. The fact that certain grades of corn have been acclaimed in this state leads the correspondent to be- lieve that it will be equally success- ful in his territory. It Is assumed that the Montana ex- hibit of corn at the...Chicago Interne- tional.corn show has caused consider- able comment in connection with which many favorable expressions have been heard regarding the ex- cellency. of the state's product C. M. Yerrington, (secretary of the Custer county faem bureau. is per- sonally conducting the exhibit In Chicago and has in his possession many. photographs or corn products which will be published later in na- tional farm magazines throughout the country.

RACING LED TO HORSE BREEDING WHEN MONTANA HORSE FANC- 11.311S BRIM AND DEVELOPED THEIR OWN - RACERS One of the Early Breedprs Was Dave Hogan of Gold Creek; George. Cooney Was Successful Breeder; Scott Peck's Hard Luck; One of Best Montana Weds Was Gemmel. (By George Klotz) After the dispersal sale of the Mar- cus Daly stock farm in 1901, there were practically no breeders of thor- oughbreds in Montana, with perhaps one or two who bred a few mares, but not many of such breeders being represented at the races. It was only in the last few yearg that people took any interest jn rais- ing and developing their own thor- oughbreds. Many locai people took 'to racing horses on the Montana cir- cuit. But it was not until about 1910 or 1911 that any of them took interest enough to raise and develop their own horses. Perhaps the first to start on an extensive scale was Dave Hogan of Gold Creek, who pur- chased that good performer, Andrew Mack, to head his stud, and just as he was getting the fruits of his en- deavors the horse \had to die,\ leav- ing him without a sire. Several of his horses, raised at the Hogan ranch were returned winners at Juarez and other western tracks and established oputations as being great mud run- ners, also for negotiating a distance of ground. Among the good mares now on the Hogan ranch are Jillette, Rustling Silk, Cotillion, Banasta and Hersain, a small but select band of good producing dams, as nearly all of the produce of these mares that were sent to the races were returned winners. Jim Tonkin, of Butte l , 's thought so well of his mare, Lady Adelaide, that he has been breeding her and has two beautiful foals, one now a 3 -year -old and the other a 2 - year -old, and both can surely •run. John Barclay, the fire chief of the Leonard mine of I3utte, also likes to take a whack at the breeding genie. apd has a dandy colt by Star B)If and °hit of his mare, Vivian H. George Cooney, at Helen& is per- haps the most successful breeder for those operating on a small scale. Ota of his mares, Melte and MISS Naomi, Ile has produced two winners, Anx- ious Moments out of the former, and HyLow out of the latter. The last named broke his maiden, meaning that he won his first race at Helena, was shipbed east and afterward claimed out of a selling race. After winning several races he was sold for $4,800. Not so bad for a Montana bred? Scott Peck was perhaps the most unfortunate of all small breeders. He had quite a number of good brood 'mares, and the best results of ills breeding was the horse, Ed Luce, a stake winner at the Montana state fair, and a frequent winner at all the tracks on which he raced. Scott was a good judge of horses.. At an auc- tion sale held in the paddock at Bu te one day, there was only one mare e wanted. He waited around all ay for her, not that the others were not well enough bred, but here was a full sister to Eugenie Burch, one of the hest and gamest of mares that ever raced over any track. The mare's name was Belle gtrome,,and a very good racing mare herself. Sont fi- nally got her, but fortunately for him there was no one in the market for a brood mare; otherwise he would not have been able to bid her in at the price he did, about $100.\ He bred her to his good horse, Guiding Star, one of Sam Hildreth's best per- formers, which had won many good races in and around New York in his two and three -year -old form. The result was that good colt, Ed ,Luce. Last summer the United States gov- ernment sent out a cell for 20 thor- oughbreds, , Avanted for the depart- ment of agriculture and also for the reclamation service. There were pre- sented for inspection 15.71 etallions for the government to sele - ct from and among them were some of the best horses that ever raced in Amer- ica; some t,hat had won thousandstof dolla,rs. When it came to selecting the individual horse on his merits and breetling, irrespective of his rac- ing qualities, Ed Luce was the thir- teenth out of all that bunch to be eel- ected. He is now in the government service. Behind him in all that . field were some of the most prominent horses that ever graced the tracks of any of the metropolitan. courses in this country. Horses that had won many tliousands of dollars and had won high-class stakes, yet when it came to a choice for conformation, individuality and breeding, the little bay horse from Montana put it all over them. George Cooney acquired the mare, Miss Naomi, in the same way. She was in \soak\ to Sam Goodman. The owner not being able to redeem her, he let Sam have her, and he sold her to Mr. Cooney. One of the most consistent horses ever bred and owned in Montana was the chestnut gelding Gemmel, prop- erty of H. I. Wilson. Gemmel was by Rubiron, out of the imported mare Okuste, she being liy Ayrshire, he be- ing by Hampton out of Atlanta, and she by the famous Galopin and out of Feronia, while the dam of Okuste was Desayuno. It surely is regret- table that the horse was not left en- tire, for the fact that a careful per- usal of his breeding will convince one that an animal of such royal line- age was sure to be a successful sire. Rubicon, the Hire of Gemmel, was one of the most ,consistent perform- ers ever seen on the western tracks. while his dam,' Okuste, was one of the best bred mares ever imported by the late Marcus Daly. She was rac- ed some during the meeting of 1901 after which she was placed in the stud. Ayrshire, the sire of Okuste; as a •two -year -old, won the Prince of Wales stakes at Goodwood, Cham- pagne stakes at Doncaster, and sev- eral others. At three he won the 2,000 guineas, the Derby, worth $18,- 375, etc. As a four -year -old he won the Kempton Park Royal stakes, worth $47,500, and defeating, among othore, such cracks as Melanion, Sea - breeze, Friars Balsam, etc., At San; down he won the Eclipse stakea. worth $55,822. Ayrshire was out . of Atlanta and she by Galopin, winner of the English Rerby in 1'875, worth $24,760 to the winner.. Desayuno, the dam of Okuste, is by Kendal, the • sire of Galtee More, winner of the 2,000 guineas in 1897, the Derby, valued at $27.,250, and the St. Leger, valued at $27,100 to the winner, he being one of the few annexing the three important events. Kendal was sired by Bend Or, himself winner of the Derby in 1880, valued at $31,875 to the winner, Bend Or being sirek by Doncaster, also winner of the fa- mous English Derby, valued *at $24,- 125 to the winner. And so one can trace this home's breeding as far back as they raced horsee, and in all crf his lineage there are only high- class stake winners. Therefore, I say it is to be regretted that Gemmel waa not kept for service, for such breed- ing as hie has few equals. Such breeding was only possible to obtain through the dispersal sale of the late Marcus Daly.
