What used to be termed the his rnnper, the man of outfits who crazed thousands of head of Block each year and shipped by the tralnload, disappeared, and much of the range country was cut up or fenced True, cattle raising fell down to a low ebb, but It was not destined to remain so for" vry long. It takes j some yearn to build up the cattle sup- ply of a country, but the smaller sot ;tler or land owner of the west fig ured, and figured correctely, that be could not stay long without live stock, and the little man here and the little man there commenced to buy a few heifers or cows and raise a few calves, and the blgge. operator also began looking around for sirea for hla herds, and now, according to Mr. Graham, who keeps In close touch with condlt'ona in the range country, that section again has a nor mal supply of cattle on hand. The Increase la ascribed to In creased Interest In rattle production and consequenaly Increased breed ing of stock. Let ua cite a short ta ble of figures that might throw some light on the subject. Take the ship ments of stockers and feeders from the Sioux City market Into the slate of South Dakota, for lnotance, for the past few years. Below are the number of head bought here and shlpepd from Sioux City to that state during the years named: No. of Year . Cattle 1911 14,429 1912 32,610 1913 42.793 1914 45 629 1915 65.538 An increase is noted every year since 1911 and a good share of these were cowa and heifers going on to the ranges for breeding purposes. What did It mean? What could it mean but Increased prodctlon? And now the markets are beginning to note the effect and are receiving more range cattle. Mr. Graham predicts an increaBed movement again for 1916, from states from which Sioux City markets receive catlle, and hla prediction Is based on the fart that those states are showing more of an Interest in the cattle, breeding busi ness every year. Kforntlal of a Good I It should be written. It should be definite. It should provide for crop rota tion. It should provide for raising a le gume. It should encourage the keeping of live stock. It should put a penalty upon slip shod, careless methods. It should Insure the tenant in the event of his removal from the farm against losing the value of manure or fertiliser recently applied and of legumes and grasses recently sowed. In addition to the foregoing essentials, the College of Agriculture says that the lease should bo written with reference to the particular farm In question. No perfect form of lease can be written to apply to all conditions. f t y y y y y y y y V y y V t y f y y V y y y f y y y y y y r y y y y y y E STOC KM N, ATTENTION!
