U.S. TO ISSUE REPORT
DAILY FOR SHIPPERS

At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Livestock association, Louis d.
Hall, specialist in marketing live
stock and meats, announced that the
federal department of marketing was
prepared to give out special weekly
and daily reports for the aid OF
shippers of livestock and meats.
Weekly reports of the amounts OF
all stored food products, such as
meat, eggs, ETC., on hand in all the
larger cities, will be sent to any one
who will send in a request to receive
it. This service can be had at the
present time at the cost of the tele-
graphic tolls.
In short time this department
will also send out a daily telegraphic
report of all carload movements of
livestock. This is obtained through
daily reports from railroad superin-
tendents. This will enable the ship
per to know how many carloads of
stock are moving towards any parti-
cular market on any particular day
and will enable him TO ship his stock
to better advantage.

ASSESSORS DECIDE ON
FARM LAND SCHEDULE

The Montana assessors association
has adopted the following schedule
for the assessment of farms and i'm
provements and flour mills and grain
elevators:
Glass No. Level and fairly lev
ell land of good quality, located with
in 10 miles of a railroad market
point.
Glass No. 2-Rough and rolling
land which may be cultivated, or lev
Ell land which is Of inferior quality
or first class land that is located
more than 10 miles distant from a
railroad market or shipping point.
Glass No. 3-Grazing land that is
SO cut up by coulees, or is so rocky
or rough, Or so covered by brush OF
scrub timber as to be unfit for cul-
tivation.
Glass No. 4-Waste land, that
which is practically worthless and
produces nothing.
Irrigated land, Or land under the
ditch and actually irrigated.
We recommend that lands be
assessed as follows:
Irrigated land, $12 per acre up.
Glass No. 1, farm land, Sc per acre
up.
Glass No. 2, farm land, $4 per acre
up.
Glass No. 8, grazing land, 50 per
acre up.
Glass No. 4, waste land, 81 per
acre.
Land not plated, IN or adjoining
cities or towns, may be assessed
higher, if such location gives such
land special value.
Elevators shall be assessed at $100
for each 1000 bushels capacity.
Flour mills shall be assessed ac-
cording to value, in the discretion of
the county assessor.
Farm improvements and farm ma
chinery shall be assessed according
to it's value, at the discretion of the
county assessor.

MONTANA COWS
GIVE BIG YIELD
HERD OF 20 AT CASCAD r
NEARLY DOUBLES WISCON-
SIN AVERAGE.
Estimate Based on Numerous Tests
Taken During Year Shows Average
Butterfat Production of 275
Pounds, Equivalent to 343.75
Pounds of Commercial Butter.

The average yield of COWS in Wis
consin, which leads all the states OF
the union in dairying, was nearly
doubled last year by a herd of 26
COWS on the Montana rancn at Cas-
cade, owned by q. f. Lyman.
This herd of pure bred and high
grade Holstein Friesian cattle has
been under development for the last
seven years, most of the original
stock being such common COWS as
were obtainable in that part of the
state seven or eight years ago.
The secret of this herds develop
ment, if any, consists in the use of
choice pure bred s1res, careful GULL
ing of Improbable animals, and rea-
sonably good care and feeding.
The average production for each
COW in this herd would load three
and one-half farm wagons each car
rying it's capacity of 27 ten-gallon
cans of milk, or the yield of the rs
COWS in the herd would load to their

BIB days.
Average milk yield per cow for the
year-S,113.8 lbs, or 942.75 gallons
Crop of calves (living) 18 heifers
10 bulls, total 28.
Average of 343.75 Lbs. Butter.
An estimate based on numerous
butter fat tests taken during the year
shows an average butter fat produc-
tion of 275 lbs. per COW, which is
equivalent to 343.75 lbs. of CONNER
cial butter.
Besides the above 26 COWS, some
Is others of the herd were milking
during part of the year. These
were mostly heifers that freshened
with their first calves during the
year, but not early enough to get in
a full years record. The returns
from these are but little below the
above average.
When it is remembered that the
average cow in even so good dairy
state as Wisconsin,, which leads all
the states of the union in dairying,
produces only ITS lbs. of butter in a
year, there is encouragement in the
showing here presented.

EXPERT GIVES ADVICE
TO POULTRY BREEDERS

Gus Z. Jasmin of Halena, who has
been breeding poultry for many years
and has won first prizes in several
shows held in this state, has advice to
give to those who would breed to the
best advantage.
"Those who have had experience
IN breeding poultry realize that un-
limited range insures greater health,
vigor and vitality than can be gained
in yards where birds are restricted" ;"
says Mr.. Jasmin. "All my birds are
bred in line with generations of good
breeding and are of great value to
anyone who is looking for foundation
Or who desires to strengthen his flock.
ut is impossible to mate judicious-
ly unless you know exactly what is

farther back you have a record of his
ancestors, the better will be your sue

mating, all my females are trapnest-
ed, by which egg laying is taken into
consideration.
"My eggs have the desired red
color and will improve your stock.

Heavy Tractor Shipment.

That Harlem farmers expect TO put
in big crops this year is evidenced by
the large shipment of farm tractors
unloaded there during the past few
days. Ten tractors of the small va
riety were lined up at one time on
the Great Northern right of way
waiting for the customers to come
for them. Owing to the heavy snow
all over this part of the country they
cannot be moved far for a while yet.
Accompanying the shipment is set
of plows for each tractor.

WASHINGTON ESTIMATES
VALUE OF 1916 MONTANA
FARM CROP AT $121,O55.OOO

A record was established last
year in the value of farm crops
produced in the United States.
Notwithstanding that produc-
ton of most OF the crops fell
far short of records. The high
prices made the aggregate crop
value $8,934,587,000 as an
nounced by the department of
agriculture at Washington. The
value of Montana's crop in
1915 was $S9,396,OOO; in
1916, $121,055,OOO. The
Treasure states rank in each
year was twenty-ninth.

The Power of Sincerity.

Though a man must be sincere in
order to be great, he need not be
great in order to be sincere. What
ever may be the size of our brain, the
strength of Il pow, J, the talents of
any kind with which we are gifted,
sincerity of heart, or belief, or life is
possible to us all. 1t is of itself a
kind of greatness which, in spite of
many other drawbacks, will make it,
self felt. The honest, upright man,
who lives openly, fearlessly, and
truly, protesting only what he feels,
unfolding only what he believes in,
pretending nothing, Disgusting nothing,
deceiving no one, claims uncon-
sciously a respect and honor that we
cannot give TO any degree of power
or ability welded with duplicity or
cunning. If we could correctly di-
vide the world into the sincere and
the i~nsincere, we should have a much
truer estimate of real worth than we
generally obtain. 1t is the fashion to
gauge people by what thsy believe.
rather than how they believe it. Yet,
important as is the former, the latter
is much more so.-Exchange.

WANTED
STRONGHOLD OF THE BEAVER
Largest Colony In Existence Making a
Last Stand in Businesses of
Southern Rockies.

Far up In the Businesses Of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
In this country today, what is proba-
bly, the largest existing colony of beav-
er, has established itself for a last
stand.
The beaver was once one of the most
abundant of our American animals, but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value Of his fur soon drove
him far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems to be Coming back"
and wherever he finds a favorable To-
cation he increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world
to study the interesting habits of this
little animal than in that little hidden
mountain valley just south of the Col
orado line which the Mexicans have
christened "Lagunitas'' and the Ameri-
cans call Beaver Lakes" The valley
nestles against the very backbone of
the continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level, and from every side
it is a~pproachable only Y long and
toilsome forest travel, except in win
ter, when it is not approachable at all.
The hollow in the mountains crest IS
dotted with irregular rows and minia-
lure ranges of hills, two and three
hundred feet high, that make up a
most b~ewildering topography.
In among these hills the beaver have
built them a city. The landscape is
ideal for the building of their dams.
and by throwing barriers of stick and
mud from hillside to hillside they have
created a dozen big lakes, some of
them half a mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beavers lodges. There are probably A
thousand beaver in this community,
reigning in undisputed supremacy over
their mountain domain. They are shy
brutes, but very early in the morning
and just at sunset you can often sur
prise them cutting the quaking aspen
on the bank with their chisel teeth or
plastering away industriously at one
OF their elaborate dams.
