me of my grandmother" said a man who
will talk about the pioneers until the sun

woman-a pioneer-but an innate lady.
She had had hard life in the Indiana
wilderness, but had come through it all

had held high offices back in the old State,
and grandmother always said that she

Money in Hogs.

Billings Times: The raising of hogs
for market has never been followed on
a large scale in Montana, although
the day is not far distant when it will
be about as noted for it's fine porkers
as it is today for it's splendid sheep
and cattle. Several ranchers in Vel
lowstone county, who have tried the
experiment, have no cause for COM
plant and state that they intend to
keep up the good work. Hogs are said
to bring better prices than either sheep
or cattle in comparison to the amount
of work and feed it takes to prepare
chem for market. They are said to
thrive on alfalfa just as we'll as does
other stock of the ranch or farm. One
Yellowstone county farmer only a few
lays ago sold two porkers in Billings
which weighed over 500 pounds each,
lie receiving nearly 500 for them.
What better could one ask for.

than one-seventh of the whole number
IN the United States. In the year 1901
there were 10000 lambs added to
the f1ocks of Montana, and 1000. 900
pounds OF wool were produced at an
average of 1913 cents per pound.
A quarter of million dollars has
been set aside by the Louisiana Pur.
chase Exposition for the use of the Live
Stock department at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. Chief F. D.
Coburn and his assistants have accom-.
plished much. and are already assured
that the live stock display at St. Louis
will excel that ever made at any pre-.
vious exposition. Thirty-seven acres
OF beautifully wooded land is devoted
to the live stock exhibit, and fine payil-
ions, stables, etc., are being erected.
The cattlemen of Lewis and Clark
counties will continue the offer of $3.50
reward to the person bringing about the
arrest and conviction of any man or

That action was taken at a recent
meeting of the county association. In
the past the offer of this reward has
been found to prove of benefit, although
in only one instance has the associa-

The fact that it is kept standing, how

viii Make Irrigation Tests.

Tie United States government is
about to institute series of irrigation
tests in Montana that will ultimately
be of great benefit to the arid and
semi-arid regions of the country. Ell
wood Mead, chief of the irrigation
investigation office of the United States
department of agriculture, Washing
ton, who was in Helena the other day,
stated that two lines of experiments
are to be conducted in the state this
year. Neither of the tests have ever
been made before by the government,
and each is calculated to add much
practical knowledge to the subject OF
irrigation.
In the Prickly Pear Valley near
Helena and in two or three other Sec
tions of the state-the Gallatin valley
and the country near Great Falls
arrangements will be made to conduct
experiments in "winter" irrigation.
This has never been done before by the
government. At Bozeman, or some
other convenient part of the state, the
department proposes to conduct expe-
riments with alkaline soils with view
to determining the influence of these
chemicals on irrigation and crops.

RANCH AND RANGE NOTES

Over ia, 299 pounds of wool have
| already been received at the Northern
Pacific warehouse at Miles City.
BY an arrangement made before the
stockman's association and Rosebud,
Yellowstone and Fergus counties, A.
H. Murray will act as stock inspector
and deputy sheriff in these counties.
He will have his headquarters on the
Musselshell and each of the parties to
the agreement will pay one-half of his
salary.
The report again comes from the
eastern part of Sweet Grass county
that wolves are on the rampage and
creating havoc among the cattle. Sew
eral ranchmen from that vicinity say
that on what is known as Whistle and
Hump creeks a number of cattle have
recently been killed. The ranchmen
have offered reward of $25 a head for
the scalps of the marauders.
Nine miles south of Browning the
government is constructing an irriga-
ton canal which, when completed, will
water IA, 900 acres of bench lands on
the Blackfeet reservation. The ditch
will be thirteen miles long, three feet
deep and sixteen feet wide at the bot
tom. The water supply will be taken
from Cut Bank river, which will fur
nish an abundant supply the year
round.
About IS years ago the first band of
sheep was brought into Montana, and
this small flock has increased until
now, according to the department of
| agriculture's figures, there are over

Oregon Sheep Coming to Montana

Owing to the big surplus of sheep
that has wintered in Oregon and also
on account of the closing of the forest
reserves in that state against the
f1ocks, the biggest movement of sheep
in the history of the state is due to &C.
cur this season, when the f1ocks will
be transferred to Montana and Idaho.
From inquiries that have already COM
menced at the headquarters of the
Oregon Short Line, says. the Salt
Lake News, it begins to look as though
there will be a scramble for cars as
soon as the movement commences. The
grazing problem is getting more acute
as each year comes round. M. B.
Gwinn, secretary and treasurer Of the
Idaho Woolgrowers' association, closed
deal with George Il. Parr, of the
Eastern Oregon Land company, at The
Dalles, for the lease of 10000 acres of
land in the Blue mountains, located in
Baker and Grant counties. 1t is the
intention to use this land as a summer
range for sheep, and 1t will be stocked
with $4,000 head as soon as the season
opens.

The pasturing of foreign live stock
in Canada is not permitted without
due entry at the custom house. The
owners will be held strictly account
able after June ?, 1908, for keeping for

penalty of seizure and forfeiture. Cas-

with from time to time, but the onus of
