Against the Anaconda In the Ma & one Case.


HILENA. Mon. Feb. IA complete
victory for the Amslgamated resulted in
the decision handed down by Judge Hunt

Hugh Magone. a Deer Lodge county
rancher. sued the Ana conda company and
affiliated companies for alleged damages
TO his ranch by dumping tsilines in the
creek. Magone also asked an injuno-
ton, The Court gave MagoneS 81 damages
against the Anaconda company and 81 .725

fendauts. The injunction is denied. The

suN-FIoWER SEED FOR POULTRY

SUN-FIOWER SEED FOR POULTRY
Sun-fower seed is a very valuable
feed for poultry, especially at moult-
ing time but it is rather expensive
when compared to other grains be-
cause the yield is not in proportion
to the amount of room that the plans
require.
Another objection is the difficulty OF
keeping the seed from spoitng be-
cause you cannot get it dry enough to
store in large quantities without mold
ing. If you thresh it out the seed
will mould and if you mow It Away
without threshing the heads will rot
But If you have a good long poul'
try run you can grow lot OF sun
flowers, then cut down stalk or two
occasionally and let the hens do the
harvesting. If you have enough OF
them it will give the poultry employ
ment all through the fall and the
early part of the winter and they Will
