With an attendance of 500 and to-
tai sales of upward of $4,000, the
firse sale of the Fergus County Sales
Corporation last week proved to be
decidedly successful, and the new in
stitution, which is designed to be-
come a central livestock sales market
for the state of Montana, promises to
become an extremely important fea-
ture in the livestock and agricultural
history of the state from this time
forward
Sales will be held monthly or Oft
ener, SO that farmers and livestock
growers can secure either through
public or private sale any class of
cattle and other livestock in practic-
ally any quantity they wish to pur-
chase.
The Fergus County Sales Corpora
tion is community institution in
the Judith Basin, having been fin
anced without any idea of profit
making by the bankers, business men
and livestock growers of Lewistown
and the country surrounding the city.
The sales stables, yards, sales ring
and other buildings are built and ar
ranged with view to securing the

greatest efficiency in the handling of
the stock during sales, and every
provision has been made for the pro-
per care of stock sent to the sales.
The class of stock put under the
hammer at the first sale was excel
lent and on the whole very good
prices were paid for the various
classes offered. Being too late for
the breeding season, the demand for
registered bulls was not as good as it
would have been earlier in the year,
although considerable number were
bought for good prices.
The sale of grade cattle was most
satisfactory, large number OF fine
COWS being bid in. Shorthorn COWS
of excellent quality appeared to be in
good demand, Amos Snyder & Sons
of Beckett disposing of herd ranging
in price from $3.50 to $11O. Some
of these had calves and were bred
again.
Biggest Buyer.
The biggest individual buyer was
C. c. Ridenour of Brooks, who pur-
chased 63 head of COWS and calves,
principally grade Herefords, at an
average price of little over $50 per
head.
There were number of horses, in
cluding some excellent Percheron
stock, exhibited at the sale and avail
able for private purchase, but no
sales were made publicly.
Henry Newman, a we'll known Ju-
dith Basin breeder of fine sheep, had
some remarkably fine pure bred
Hampshire ewes and lambs for sale,
the lambs bringing from $1O,25 to
$13 per head.
One of the features of the sale was
the presence of Charles O. Robinson,
of the we'll known livestock commits
sion firm of Clay Robinson & Co., of
Chicago; and Leo Robinson, of the
same firm of South St. Paul. Messrs
Robinson were greatly interested in
the sale, and stated that the good re-
sulting, in the way of increasing the
quality of cattle bred in Montana,
was one of the best things possible
for Montana.
Successful Auctioneer.
H. l.. Hull, manager of the corpor-
alton, made his first appearance in
the role of auctioneer at the sale, and
created very favorable impression.
Mr.. Hull is young, vigorous and pos
sesses a great amount of personal
magnetism, commanding close atten-
.tion at all times, which is so essential
in successfully keeping bidders on
the alert. The success of the sale
was due in a considerable measure to
his ability.

ABOUT POULTRY
AS A SIDE LINE
GENERAL PURPOSE BREEDS ARE
BEST FOR POULTRY FOR
HOME CONSUMPTION.
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds and Orpingtons Are
All Good Varieties for Those Who
DO Not Intend to Go Into Poultry
Raising ON Extensive Scale.

For the family which wishes to
keep poultry for home consumption
rather than for the market, the So
called general-purpose breeds are
better suited than what are known as
the egg-laying breeds. Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island
rites for the average person who
does not intend to go into the poul
try business on considerable scale.
These breeds are good layers and
they also make good table poultry.
Furthermore, they will hatch their
own eggs and brood their own chick
ems, whereas, the Leghorns and 9TH
er breeds of the egg-laying class do
not sit, and the use of expensive in
cubators and brooders is necessary in
order to perpetuate these flocks.
Fresh Air and Sunshine.
The prime essentials for small
poultry house are fresh air. dryness,
sunlight and space enough to keep
the birds comfortable. For the gem
eral-purpose breeds about four
square feet of floor space should be
allowed for each bird. The fowls
should also have as much outside
space as possible to run in. If this
area is too small the ground quickly
becomes foul and in time makes it
difficult to rear chickens with good
success. In order to avoid foulness
it is advisable to divide the lot and
to SOW part of it to the quickgrow-
ing grains such as oats, wheat or rye.
The hens are turned an the growing
grain when it is a few inches high.
Under this method the yards may be
changed every three or four weeks
during the growing season. A COM
bination that has proved successful
consists of six or seven bushels OF
equal parts of oats and wheat to the
acre, wheat alone being used for the
last seeding in the fall. For the con-
venience of those who have only
small areas at their disposal. it may
be stated that an acre contains 49,
$50 square feet.

Feed is high, and is likely to be
higher A busy hog is unthrifty and
does not make the gains from his
feed that are made from hogs free
from lice. Many herds of young
shoats are not making money from
their feed because they are lousy
Lice retard fattening and injure the
health of breeding hogs. Get rid of
the lice.
An easy way to get rid of the lice
when they are not too thick on hogs
is to set number of short posts in
the yard or field where the hogs run
and wrap these posts with gunny
sacks. Once week soak the sacks
with either crude oil or coal oil and
machine oil mixed half and half
The hog rubs against the post and
the oil kills the lice.
Make cement wallow or bath ten
by ten feet and 16 inches deep. Fill
this to a depth of ~ inches with wa
ter and cover the water with coat
of crude oil. The hogs will bathe in
this and the oil will cover them and
kill the lice. Renew the oil and wa
ter as necessary and every two weeks
cream out tHe Ddtn Will no'oi'
where expense of cement cannot be
afforded, dig hole the same size as
for a cement wallow and puddle it
with clay. Put in the water and
crude oil. Before this hole gets fill
thy dig another. Hogs can be spray
ed with a hand sprayer.
1t is hard to get rid of the lice
around the sheds and yards. All bed
ding should be hauled off or burned,
all trash cleaned up and fence, shed
and ground treated with oil or a coal
tar dip. This may be sprnkled with
a broom or put ON with hand sproy-
er. 1t is a good plan to make tenn
porary sheds and put the hogs on
new ground for 80 days.

cattle. In this way great source of
supply was shut Off
I'm 1911 and 1913 there were Sc
rious droughts in the Dakotas and
Nebraska. Thousands of cattle per-
ished for want of water, and every
animal that could be driven to the
railroad was shipped to Chicago, SO
another great source of supply was
cut out.
But to come nearer home: we
have all seen the great change take
place-that has made wheat fields of
the great western cattle ranges. The
hundreds of thousands Of cattle that
We're shipped from Montana few
years ago is now memory, and this
transformation has cut out possibly
the source of the greatest supply.
add to this the hundreds of thou
sands of fat COWS that have been
shipped because of the high prices in
Chicago, the losses from billiards.,
lack of feed, and other causes that
attend a forced change of methods in
handling cattle, and we can under
stand how great sources of supply
have failed.
with this situation in view, and
bearing in mind the great and cry
ing need of more food for the world
it becomes patriotic duty for every
man who can take care of cattle,
sheep and hogs to provide himself
with the same without further delay.
Will Get Together.
THE men who organized this COM
pany believe that every farmer who
can handle livestock should be sup
piled with the same, not only for the
benefit of the country at large but
for his own profit; and we believe
that this Lewistown exchange is 60
ing to be means of getting the buy
er and seller together.
EVERY newspaper will tell you
that people have cattle to sell, and
the same columns will tell you that
there are people who want to buy. but
it has been difficult to get together,
and if this exchange does not provide
means to that end it will be great
disappointment to the organizers.
This company was organized
purely and solely for the public good.
The capital stock is held by a good
many people, and IN very small
amounts. l think l am safe in say
ing that practically all of the stock
holders have charged the money they
paid for their stock to profit and loss,
and l say this to emphasize the fact
that this company was not organized
for profit, and that there will be no
temptation on any ones part to in
dulge in any acts of trickery or sharp
practice that so often brings discred-
if to an enterprise of this kind.
II speak for the present directors
at least when say that when we find
we cannot keep this business above
board and square and free from all
suspicion of graft, we will let some
body else run it.
1--WE cannot agree to please every
body, but we can agree to give every
body square deal
II have not said much about sheep,
horses and hogs. / suppose it is be-
cause my thoughts tend toward cat
tie; but this is going to be just as
much a horse, sheep and hog market
as a cattle market, and it is just as
important for this community that
you handle the former as the latter.
