WOULD COL0NIZE IN
MUSSELSHELL COUNTY
COUNTY EXHIBIT AT LAND
SHOW is PRODUCTIVE OF
EXCELLENT RESULTS.

Secretary Robinson of the Roundup
Commercial club believes that it pays
to advertise. Musselshell county had
an exhibit of farm products at the
Seattle land show, held recently. The
exhibit attracted much attention, as
Montana exhibits always do. And
now the executive of Roundup's COM
mercial organization is kept busy
answering letters from individuals
who want to know more of the splen-
did possibilities of Musselshell.
One of the inquiries was from a
Washington land concern, which
wishes to acquire 10000 acres of
wheat land for colonization purposes.
This concern proposes to locate from
rs to 100 Norwegian farmers on a
tract Of this character. It has been
very successful in colonizing under
takings in Washington.

Alfalfa Hay Is a Good
Winter Feed for H0qs

ming live steam into it about an hour
before it was fed.
In one of the experiments carried
on last winter, 40 sows were fed al
falfa hay with limited grain ration,
while 10 were fed grain alone. The
idea was to feed only enough grain
to keep them in satisfactory breeding
condition. Observation of the sows
was made during tho winter months
and during March, while they were
farrowing. As a result it was found
to be possible to replace one-third of
the grain ration for brood sows with
alfalfa hay, feeding one pound of
hay for each pound of grain left out.
The feeding of alfalfa also afforded
an excellent means of getting the
sows to take more exercise than they
do when grain alone is fed. No trou-
BILE was experienced by any of the
sows in farrowing and they produced
just as large, strong and uniform
litters as did the sows not receiving
alfalfa. The sows fed alfalfa ap-
peared to milk better and nurse their
pigs little better than did the grain
fed sows.
These experiments would seem to
prove that it is practical and advis-
able to feed as much alfalfa hay to
brood sows in winter as they will
eat, so regulating the additional
grain ration as to keep them in prop
er condition.

OF much interest to Montana hog
raisers are some feeding experiments
recently carried on by the North
Dakota experiment station to deter
mine the relative value of grain and
alfalfa as hog feed. On many Mon
tana farms alfalfa can be produced
much more economically than grain
and it is therefore welcome news to
learn from the Dakota Investigators
that a considerable part of the grain
ration can be replaced by alfalfa.
Alfalfa in place of grain will also
solve the problem OF wintering hogs
when grain prices are so high as to
prohibit the extensive use Of grain
as feed,
The results of the Dakota expert
ment show that hogs can be taught to
eat hay by limiting the grain to ch
an extent that the hogs must eat
hay or 60 hungry. When handled
in this way, hogs will take very
readily to alfalfa and limited
amounts can be fed with as good
results and at less cost than where
grain alone is used. Where dry al
falfa hay was used it was put through
q straw cutter and cut into one inch
lengths and was fed by placing the
dry hay in the trough after each
feeding of grain. Better results were
obtained by steaming the hay by
placing it in a largo can and run

CAUSE AND TREATMENT
OF HEAVES IN HORSES

Heaves is a common disease of
horses and is due mainly to improper
feeding and working and especially
to hard driving or pulling when the
stomach is overloaded.
Except in the very early stages,
the disease is readily detected. A Pc
culiar short, grunt-like cough is usu-
ally present and when the animal has
been exerting itself wheeling noise
accompanies the breathing. The
principal and most characteristic
symptom is the jerky or double move
ment of the abdomen in an effort to
force air from tho lungs.
The disease brings about structur-
al changes in the lungs and eventual
ly in the stomach and heart. Once
started. it is impossible to prevent
the development Of the trouble, but
with proper treatment the develop
ment will be greatly retarded and the
animal will be serviceable for light
work for years.
A poorly ventilated or dusty sta
BILE. severe work and overfeeding
with coarse dry feeds tends to aggra-
vate the trouble. Dampening 'he
feed with a mixture of one part mo-
lasses and three parts water, pre-
vents distress frequently caused by
feeding dry, dusty hay. It is desir-
able to restrict the amount of hay
or forage as large quantities of feed
disturb the stomach and increase
the difficulty in breathing; horses
with heaves should never be driven
or worked with the stomach full of
such material. Lime-water Is also
a help to affected horses. Lime may
be added to a barrel of water and
after the mixture has become clear
the lime water may be used freely
| in watering the animal.

Phenomenal grain yields have been
harvested in Sheridan county this
year, Charles A. Whipple, state land
agent, reported on his return to Hell
ena after an extensive automobile
tour of that section. He said the
farmers of the great northwestern
Montana empire have been usy for
many days hauling grain to the ele-

Scobey's Streets Blocked.
"In riding to Scobey from ten
miles out of town We passed 81
teams returning with grain wagons
from that place and when we t
to town at dark we were unable to
pass through the main street as it
was blockaded by full grain loads
waiting to be put into the two ele-
vators there" said Mr.. Whipple.
ut is beyond the belief of most
people in the state, the progress
made in that section.
Just Getting Good Start.
1T promises to be the greatest
grain belt in the state as 1t is just

did, but their spirit Of conquest will
be irreparibly broken. On the 9TH
