No Chance To
Make a Profit
By Feeding Cattle for Market.
Feed Costs, Commissions, Etc.,
Take All Receipts.
As an evidence that under pres
ent conditions it is not profitable
to ship cattle to middle western
feed lots to be fattened before
putting them on the market, J.
Porter Kennedy, managing part
ner of the Faddis-Kennedy Cattle
Co., of Lodge Grass, who was in
Hardin Wednesday, cited the ex
perience of two stockmen of his
district.
One of them shipped 80 head of
Hereford yearlings and two-year
olds to Fremont. Neb., where they
were fed corn 132 days and mar
keted on Nov. 19. They grossed
84,084.32, and after the cost of the
feed, commissions and other ex
penses were deducted, the owner
received a net of $158.45 for the
80 head. Before shipping to feed
grounds, he received an offer at
home from the government emer
gency drought relief office of
SI4OO.
On the same day the above cat
tle ■were sold, another stockman
of the same district sold 66 head
of mixed yearling steers and heif
ers for $2840, gross. After deduct
ing feed, commissions, etc., he had
left just $5.30 for his 66 head.

Supt. Yellowtail sees the ful
fillment of a long cherished dream
in the landing of this "thundering
herd” of 50 buffalo cows and four
buffalo bulls. Upwards of a dozen
years ago he initiated the move
ment to have the government do
nate buffalo from the Yellowstone
National Park with which to stock
the ranges of the Crow reservation
with buffalo in the hope that in
time the bison would increase in
numbers until the Indians might
in the not far distant future be
furnished with meat from this
source as well as robes from the
hides. For years he met with no
encouragement, but since becoming
superintendent of the Crow In
dian reservation a few months
ago. his constant urging has been
successful.
