Do Not Feed Together.

We never favored the idea of keep
ing hogs and cattle together at fatten-
ing time, for it makes the feed lots SO
filthy in damp weather to have the hogs
roofing and wallowing, says Mr.. Cyrus
Greene 10 the Prairie Farmer The
cattle sheds and sleeping places can be
kept so much drier and cleaner if the
hogs are shut out. which adds to the
comfort of the cattle, and comfort means
thrift, and thrift means more profit to
the owner.
Where there are no hogs to root over
and waste the manure there will be more
OF it at hauling time. For the anitary
condition of the swine we would strong
ly urge keeping them away from the
cattle. When cattle are on full feed of
corn, their bowsls are 10 feverish and
loosened condition much of the time,
their blood is thick and at high tenn
perature, many impurities being taken
away from the body by the blood and
discharged with the excrements, and |
never could call that good hog feed |
like pork and sausage, but do not care
for them from hogs raised on that kind
of feed When cattle aud hogs run to-
gether. there are always few hogs
crippled, and occasionally one is killed
The loss is avoided when they are yard
ed alone. You are probably wondering
by this time what you will do with the
waste from your cattle, for many think
that the waste from the cattle represents
the profit
We advise you to take four-sevenths
of the amount Of grain fed when the
cattle and hogs we're running together
and grind it fine for the cattle The re-
naming three sevenths should be fed
to the hogs, grinding part of it for
them for a change. When it is not
freezing weather, the corn should be
soaked from one feed to the next. Emp
ty all dishes and use fresh water each
time. If the dishes sour, put little
salt in the bottom to keep them sweet,
as sour hog feed is not healthy.
All this may look like stony" farm
ing Well, it is. and the pride and 60
aheadativeness of the American people
cause them to be on the constant look
out for more modern aud profitable ways
of doing things l have been managing
my cattle and hogs in the above way for
several years and am suited with it and
think Is others would try it one season
they would not go back to the old way

Mules ON Farms.

American Agriculturist has always
held that the raising of q moderate
number OF mules is good practice on
every farm. just now there is strong
demand. good animals selling readily
for $135 to $3.50 per head, with ready
outlet for sound animals from Ken
lucky aud other States iu the middle
south While these high prices cannot
be expected at all times, it costs but lit
tie to raise mule colts They are hardy,
grow rapidly, are subject to but few all
ments and when 3 years old can be
broken aud put to work, more than earn
ing their keep the 6rst season and be-
ing ready for full work the following
season. Every farmer should have one
or more mule colts each year

Briefly stated. the advantages claim
ed for early blowing. followed at inter-

the growth Of weeds, oonserves the
moisture of the soil, keeps the soil in
good filth and results 10 the formation
of a seed bed best suited Tor the prompt

The cost Of preparing the ground is
lessened, the yield of grain is much in

TOWN

"Do you know" said a prominent
businessman yesterday, "that the
scale of wages of the Federal Labor
union, which goes into effect April 1,
raising the price of many kinds of labor
in Billings is likely to cause trouble?
Well, such is the case. 1t means that
some business houses will either have
to close up Or raise their prices, which
would cause a howl from the labo1ing
men. Take, for instance, the res
taurant keepers. The union has fixed
the scale for cooks and assistants at
s75 and $50 per month and board and
room. respectively. Now, no res
taurant can pay such prices in this
city and continue business very long.
I believe in paying good prices for my
help, uut there are some employees
who are worthy Of higher wages than
others, and the union is not in posi-
tion to tell what they are worth. The
customers of restaurants are now re-
ceiving lower rates than have ever
prevailed in Billings, more on account
of Chinese labor, than anything else
But of one thing l am assured, when
the union begins to boycott the Chi
nese and at the same time raises the
price of cooks, assistants and walters,
there must come an advance in the
price of meals to 80 cents or white
restaurant keepers will close up and
the Chinese will control the business
as at present.
II am against the Chinese and
think if the town could be rid Of them
Billings might have two or three rest
aurants that would be a credit to any
city many times larger, if the union
does not try to regulate prices for la
Dor above what they should be"
The city election is causing less in
terest than any previous campaign in
Billings, but this does not mean that
1.-THE candidates are idle, for they are
just the opposite. The chief interest
c~enters around the contest for mayor
atty, treasureshp and police magis-
trate, the aldermanic campaign caus
ing hardly more than passing notice.
Yesterday was a busy day for the
friends of the candidates, as it was
the last day for registration. All day
long the ''pullers" kept ur their Wig
ilance in getting out the voters, but in
many instances their men were turned
down by the registry agent.

COUNTY TREASURY ENRICHED.
County Assessor Collecting Taxes from
Transients.

The treasury of Yellowstone county
is to be enriched several thousand dol
lars this year above the usual amount,
owing to the vigilance of County As
SCISSOR A. P. Smith. He is pursuing a
policy that no person shall escape as
sessment who is required t. pay taxes
in this county. It is the law that
every person owning or having in his
possession property OH March l of
each year shall list the same with the
assessor of the county in which the
property is located. 1t is a common
occurrence for stockmen of other
counties to bring their animals into
this county for winter feeding and
during the latter part of March or the
fore part OF April remove them to
their W county, thus escaping as
sessment in both counties.
Assessor Smith has had his eye on
this class of people yer since he took
his Office and has been doing some
effective work for the county, having
already collected several hundred dol
lars from such persons. He also caught
cattle representatives from the east
who had shipments in the stock yards
in this city or March /. But his great
est work has been on the Toluca- Cody
line Of the Burlington, collecting poll
tax from the men employed on the
grade. AS there are over 700 men
working on the line and the tax is 81
each, it has netted the county quite a
revenue. MI. Smith met with con-
siderable resistance, both from graders
and contractors, but he told them he
was there to collect the tax, and col
lect it he did.

Gwen F. Burla, ex-county super

day, April g., but SO far the only nomi-
nation filed is that Of Mr.. Burla.
F. H. Foster has Just returned
from several weeks stay on the Grow
reservation near the Toluca-C Cody line
Of the Burlington railroad. He gives
it as his opinion that the line cannot
possibly be completed this year, and
thinks track will not be laid much
farther than Pryor Gap this summer,
as practically no grading has been
done on the south side of the gap in
Wyoming.
-Thos. Hogan, district freight
agent for the Northern Pacific, is in
receipt of word from Bridger that a
quarantine has been established OIL
Sage creek in Carbon county III the
Pryor Gap on account of the preva-
lence of smallpox at the McShane
grading camp on the Toluca- Cody
branch of the Burlington. The quar-
%antine does not interfere with business
going from Bridger into the Big Horn
basin, in Wyoming.
Jacob Soss, who has been superln-
tendent of the capitol building work
in Helena, has been succeeded by Will
lam Hamilton, the former going to
Columbus and taking charge Of the
Montana Sandstone company's quarry
near that place. 1t is. said there was
considerable dissatisfaction over the
work Of Mr.. Soss in that he was not
pushing the building as fast as the
building commission desired, and the
commissioners were making ready tc
ask for Mr.. Soss' removal when he
was transferred by the president of the
company.
The contractors of the new Cru.
we'll block are making arrangements
for raising the west corner of the
building, which has sunken a couple
of inches, owing to the foundation not
being sufficiently strong to withstand
such a heavy weight. The founda'
ton was laid a year before the build
ing proper was started, but it did not
settle as much as it was thought il
would. The foundation for the corner
pillar Oh the southwest was not laid,
however, until the building was com
menced, and then it was not made al
strong as it should have been. This
foundation will be taken out and {
new one built. The work will com
mence as 0 o as the contractors car
secure a hydraulic derrick from the
railroad company. After this is com
pleted the contractors will put abou'
25 or 80 men on the job of finishing
the interior. @

AMONG The VISITORS

W. x. Sudduth of Chicago who has
large stock interests in this county, ar
rived in the city yesterday, after ev-
eral months stay in the east. He was
for a long time at the head of the
Musselshell Cattle company, but for
the past few years has been ''going it
alone" About two years ago he also
embarked in the sheep business and
during his stay in Chicago this winter
gave that occupation careful study
alone with that of cattle raising.
Mr. Sudduth has been trying for two
years to buy stock cattle at prices
which will permit the buyer to fatten
and then realize a fair profit but he
says he hasn't been able to do so thus
far. In his opinion there is but one
thing left for the producer to do, and
that is to raise more hay for feeding
purposes, as the time has passed when
range grown cattle will command a
price to enable the producer to make
anything on his investment. Mr.. Sud-
duth believes that the sheep industry
| offers the best inducements at the
present time, although the wool mar
ket is down rather low and from what
he can learn it is likely to remain
down during this season. He will
leave today for his ranch near Fair
view where he expects to remain for
some time.

ing been a member Of the board of
education of Butte for a number of
years, and has been renominated for
the position again and is assured of
| election. Mr.. Mueller has been great
~ impressed with Billings from the
very first time that he visited here,
some two years ago, when making ar
rangements for esta blishing the brew
cry, as has also been his wife, who has
visited the city on several occasions.
So much do they like the city that Mr..
Mueller announces that he expects to
build a dwelling here this year to
which Mrs. Mueller and daughter will
come and spend the summer months
each year. The residence will be ont
of the finest in the state, Mr.. Mueller
intending to make it a model of beauty
and comfort.
M. NJ. Potter, representing the Chi
cago Milwaukee & st. Paul, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Potter is n of
