One OF the causes contributing to
make low priced hogs, besides the
rather hard times" which have held
sway during the winter just past, Is
the fact that there has been an almost
entire absence of hog cholera I'm most
all sections Of the country. 1t would
be interesting TO know. as a sort of
side issue on the situation, whether
this absence OF hog cholera may not be
quite closely connected with the fact
that corn was very scarce and high
last fan and that as a result It was fed
quite sparingly, whereas IN previous
years hogs have been allowed TO gorge
themselves with the soft and immature
corn. The situation presents several
important aspects which II would be
worth while for experts 10 look into
carefully and report upon.

Since cultivation IS given growing
crops not only for the purpose of de-
stroying weeds. but for the stirring of
the soil so as to facilitate a proper cir
culation Of moisture in the soil and
radiation of heat. pains should be
taken TO cultivate growing things
whenever possible shortly after heavy
rains, so as to prevent the earth from
baking and thus interfering with the
processes above referred to.

Fencing the range to protect sheep
from the attacks Of predatory animals
has met with excellent results in the
Wallowa national forest, Oregon. The
problem was to find a strong fence
that would make the sheep secure,
even without the care Of a herder.
The chosen fence, which Is built Of
woven wire with barbed wire on the
top, has kept out all the minor ami
mails such as wild cats, lynxes and
coyotes, but has not withstood the at
tacks of the grizzlies, which are ap-
parently able to pass through It with
little trouble.

EASTERN MONTANA REPUBLICANS: ABUTTEyFW

The following estimate Of the Repub-
licans OF Eastern Montana in general
and Of Yellowstone county in particu-
lar. is from a recent issue OF the Butte
Miner:
AS it has done for years past, once
more eastern Montana Is demanding
that the Republican party give 1t re-
cognition on the state ticket.
The Billings Gazette takes itself
very seriously and as Of old really
threatens dire things II the Yellow
stone section OF the country Is not
recognized this time by Its party.
It points out that there is not a
single state officer at present who
halls from the eastern part Of the
state, although Bozeman. which, s west
OF the center line Of the common
wealth, is fortunate enough to have
three such officials, all Of whom are
candidates for reelection.
This looks as though the Republi-
cans Of Gallatin county were superior
politicians to those Of Yellowstone and
other eastern counties. VI
The Billings paper contends that
"the communities that aid in rolling
up the majorities seem to cut little
figure
OF purse this is true, and 1t is true
because the Republicans Of eastern
Montana have earned the name Of be-
ing great buffers, who promise to do
all manner OF things before conven-
lions, and then, when the whip is
cracked oyer them at the state gather
ings Of their party, mildly take their
medicine and say they like 1t.
