More Profit in Co1us
Which Freshe1 in Fail

Milk is more in demand and high
est prices are paid for butter fat and
cream during the winter months.
This is mainly because the great ma
jority of cows freshen during the
spring months, produce heavily dur
ing the spring and summer months
and begin to dry W at the approach
of winter. This lea Is one to wonder
why more dairymen do not arrange
to breed their cows ., that they will
high rate of production during the
period when milk and butter fat
bring the highest prices. Where a
good supply of winter feed is avail
able, intensive winter dairying is
highly profitable and could be fol-
lowed to advantage on many Mon
tana farms. The following are some
of the advantages gained by revers-
ing the usual order and having the
calves come in the fall instead of in
the spring.
Higher prices are obtained for
dairy products. During the winter
months milk can be cooled at little
or no expense and cream can be kept
longer and with less danger of sour
ing than in warm weather.
The milking period is heightened
and the yearly production is in
creased. Cows tina. freshen in the
spring milk heavily while the pas
ture is good but in late summer when
the pasture begins to fail the flow of
milk falls off and with the approach
of winter the cows Are so nearly dry
that they respond but little to the
winter feed rations. On the other
hand cows which freshen in the fall
will produce we'll on a winter ration
for six months and when turned out
to pasture in the spring, under the
stimulus of the fresh green feed, will
maintain for time a milk flow
nearly as great as that from fresh
cows. Recent investigation by ex-
pertinent stations verify this state
ment.
In winter dairying the amount Of
labor on the farm is better distri-
buted throughout the year. If the

the accumulative results of hard win
ters and dry summers. We must
build adequate sheds, we must Sc.
cure an adequate water supply fol
both summer and winter and we
must secure sufficient feed tC
make the dread of hard winter a
thing of the past.
Artificial Protection Necessary.
A few years ago, when range was
plentiful and not over-stocked, when
cattle could travel into bad lands
and brush bottoms when shelter was
needed, this was not necessary. With
the coming of the homesteader and
barbed wire fences the natural pro-
lection afforded by our country was,
in many instances, closed to our live
stated-we must build artificial pro-
lection. drill wells to take the place
of the fenced in water holes, and
feed our live stock.
Actual expense of raising live
stock is more today than it was in
the days of the open range. To Off
set the additional cash outlay, we
have our cattle maturing faster, less
loss, better quality of stock, better
shipping facilities, and better prices
for early matured young beef.
The figures, showing the number
of cattle shipped out of Montana
from the year 1900 to 1915, as fur
nished by the board of stock COM
furnish an interesting
comparison:

Pure Bred Cattle.

Pure Bred Cattle.
We are in our very infancy in the
raising of pure bred cattle and yet
we have several herds whose equal is
hard to find, and have some Mon
,tana bred and raised cattle that have
never been beaten in their class at
any of the large stock shows through
out the United States---a record that
is hard to equal in any state so young
in the pure bred industry.
It should be unnecessary for us to
go to outside states for the heads of
our herds. Our native raised animals
not only have more stamina and bet
ter breeding qualities but are accli-
mated and in the aggregate are freer
from disease than those shipped in.
This is an industry that should be
fostered and to those who are not
acquainted with the splendid herds
that we have in Montana a few days
spent at our state fair will be re-
velation.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1916-12-07

With the coming of the homestead
err our expectations increased due t.
the closing out of many of the larger
outfits. Our cattle decreased to ar
alarming extent. We were not use(
to fences and many of us thought the
days of the cattle industry were or
the wane. These fears, we realize
now, were unfounded, but whether
unfounded or not they were real and
many thousands of breeding cattle
were shipped out. Better would it
have been if they had remained in
the country, and better would it have
been for our stockmen today had
they remained in the stock business
instead of selling out, and, as in
many cases, falling victims to pro-
motors of foreign enterprises simply
because they had surplus of money,
were out of the stock business, and
wanted something to do.
Mistake Soon Realized.
Fortunately we, as a people, were
not long in realizing our mistake and
for the past few years we have been
building up a stock industry founded
on the new methods of stock raising
so that today the stock industry of
Montana has a better future, a more
stable foundation, than it ever had
in the past.
Our future is indeed bright. AS a
state we offer that which few coun-
tries in the world can offer. Our
natural resources are unsurpassed,
our dry climate during the greater
part of the year is ideal. Our ma
tive grasses have a food value that
is uneQualed, our hay cures green,
and our pure mountain water gives
that to live stock which in the east
they lack. Take, for instance, the
grass fed cattle shipped out of the
Big Hole basin, or the Lodge Grass
country. They have topped the mar
ket for years and arc Just as eagerly
sought and competed for by the buy
ers in the large stock centers as are
the grain fed cattle of the middle
west. These conditions are not tenn
porary-tl1ey are permanent. We
can, and are, raising bigger boned.
bigger framed, and better grained
beef than most any other country in
the world. In fact, we have no SUI
perior in the raising of beef cattle,
or for that matter any grade or class
of live stock.
Coast Markets Improving.
Our markets and shipping facilities
have been much better. The coast
markets are improving and open to
us an outlet which we can reach from
many parts of Montana without un-
loading and feeding. They are offer
ing inducements to our stockmen and
there is no legitimate, economic or
industrial factor, or reason, why
their prices and facilities should not
be in active competition with Chica-
go, or any of the eastern stock mar
kets.
The feeder stock industry of Mon
tana is indeed full of possibilities
but its development will not depend
alone upon the stockmen but to
great extent upon our farmers. We
realize it is problem to make a
straight grain farm pay, especially
when it is considerably removed from
Its market. We must stock our
farms, both large and small. The
farmer must be placed in position
to secure as many cattle or sheep as

he can adequately handle and feed.
In other words, he must walk his
grain to market in the form of beef.
He must secure the profits of the
stockman plus the profits of a farm
er. Our forest reserves, which were
once decried by our sheep men, now
offer to them and the cowman the
best OF summer ranges and our farms
offer the best of feeding facilities for
winter feeding. The ideal solution of
stocking our small farms is undoubt-
eddy for the larger cow man or sheep
man to place, on shares, an adequate
number of cattle or sheep on each
farm in his vicinity sufficiently we'll
provided to properly shelter and feed
liv stock. This method entails no
additional financial outlay on the
part of the farmer and guarantees to
the stockman protection for his
stock and secure financial returns.
Banks Offering Inducements.
Our banks have been, and are Of
fering inducements to those desir-
ing to enter into the stock business.
but in the case of the small farmer
who is building up home it is some
what difficult for him to pay the
current rate of interest and secure
sufficient money to purchase the
number of stock necessary for him to
make winter feeding pay. Thou
sands and thousands of tons of
roughage feed goes to waste every
fall simply because many of our far
mers as yet have not been able to
secure live stock. These conditions
must be remedied and the share sys-
tenn offers the quickest and surest
method of stocking our small farms.
We are accustoming ourselves to the
new order of things. The stock in
dustry has hit steady and perman-
ent pace. We are steadily advancing
into the greatest of all live stock
states, as a glance at the following
tabulated list of breeding importa-
tons will show. Also, the increase of
the small stockman-farmer is re-
vealed by the number of brands rec
orded during the past two and one
half years.
