The 101 Ranch — A Testimonial 



The 1 1 Ranch, located in Oklahoma, is one of the best-known 

 in the United States. It contains 87,000 acres, enclosed by 150 

 miles of wire fencing. There are three towns within its borders, 

 Bliss, Red Rock and White Eagle. It contains thousands upon 

 thousands of acres of corn, wheat, alfalfa, oats, melons, fruit trees 

 and small fruits, besides thousands of acres of range, over which 

 graze cattle, horses, mules, hogs and buffalo. It has a telephone 

 system, with thirty-five miles of private wire. Five hundred hands 

 are employed during the busy season. Fifty "cow punchers" 

 attend to fifteen thousand cattle and five hundred mules. There 

 are three hundred work horses and a herd of thirty-five buffalo, 

 preserved as curiosities. 



This well-known ranch is used for agricultural pursuits and as 

 an immense stock-breeding farm, raising everything from buffalo 

 down to chickens. Its work is conducted upon strictly business 

 lines ; its purchases are of articles known to be good. A letter 

 giving the experience of the proprietors of this immense ranch with 

 Bickmore's Gall Cure should be read with interest by every stock- 

 man, and we take pleasure in printing it here : 



" White Eagle, Okla., July; 14, 1898. 



" T)ear Sirs : 'Please find enclosed $5. 00, for which send us that amount 

 of your Gall Cure. Would just as soon have it in hulk, as it is for our own 

 use. We Toork over one hundred head of horses, and it takes quite a lot to 

 go around. Have used it, and like it splendid. 



" We buy all our supplies at wholesale, so will expect dealers' prices. 

 Please send by Wells, Fargo & Co. Express. 



Yours truly, THE 101 LIVE STOCK CO. " 



Market Classes 



Horses present greater difficulties in grading for the market than 

 almost any other product. In modern markets the grains are 

 graded so accurately that any given class is as standard as govem- 



Jl neglected gall or cut will lead to trouble later.
