Because of his knowledge of the outdoors the Ranger can put on a realistic show in his fights against lawless rascals who made life in the old West something of a hazardous adventure. Every detail of horsemanship, roping and country is true to detail, and, because the Ranger Is as good an actor as he is a sportsman, he realizes that the more real his acting is the more deeply it affects his audience. When hes supposed to throw someone to the ground, he actually applies on armlock on the person before the microphone, with the subsequent strain on his voice bringing out the action. Born in Mount Carmel. 111., the Ranger was the son of a colorful breeder of saddle horses, who often climbed atop a surrey even after automobiles were the thing, in his winged collar, fashionable waist coat and striped pants, and galloped off to town. In such an atmosphere it was only natural that the Ranger should turn to horses, learning to break them from ground to halter. Horses have remained the Ranger's favorites.

Besides his 34 horses he had a Guernsey herd which he checked according to performance, and over 600 chickens, mostly Rocks and Leghorns. To attain maximum production, the Ranger fed his young chicks shredded whites and yolks, along with mash and buttermilk.
