Large Quantities Hay
Miller, Feb. 3.—Great quantities
of hay continue to be shipped from
the Miller territory to the Black Hills
and Wyoming, where stockmen are
short of feed fr their animals and
have to ship in sufficient amounts to
carry their live stoclfover the winter
months.
One local shipper expects to have

price is $13 per ton for loose hay
and $18 for baled.
The hay crop of this district last

crop was short.
Sufficient supplies are being re
