CATTLE SHOULD
BE VACCINATED
ONLY HALF OF STOCKMEN USE
RIGHT VARIETY OF
BLACKLEG VACCINE.
This Disease, According to Reliable
Statistics, Causes Third of Yearly
Loss in Montana, Totaling Million
Dollars Annually State Veter-
marian Ready to Aid.

Blackleg, according to reliable
statistics, causes one-third of the
yearly loss of cattle in Montana, and
totals each year about n million
dollars. This is too great an an
nual loss for a disease that is pre-
ventable. The disease itself needs no
description. Every stockman knows
that it is a disease of young cattle,
especially in the early spring and
fall, that it is 100 per cent fatal, and
affects cattle up to two-year-olds.
Most of us know that it is prevent
able by vaccination, and about half
of us use the right vaccine. We have
three kinds of vaccine: vaccination
by such things as copper wire, garlic,
ETC., which is absolutely useless. vac
cination by the commercial vaccine,
or blackleg pills, and the vaccination
by the government vaccine. This
last is the only one to be recommend
ed. If any one argues that garlic
vaccination will protect a calf, let
him take a few drops of blood or a
piece of infected muscle from a calf
dead of blackleg and put it under the
skin of the "~vaccinated' calf, and

With the establishment at Great
Falls of a stable for Shires and Per-
cherons by George E. Brown, veteran
horse breeder, a new industry has
been founded in northern Montana
upon a sound basis-the breeding of
sound and high-class horse flesh. Mr..
Brown, f AIMED for his ranch at Auro-
ra, Illinois, where he has maintained
since 1875 one of the three oldest
importing stables in America, has
made Great Falls his headquarters,
believing the time %opportune for
the improvement of the stock in the
northwest. For many years he has
been known nationally and particu-
larly in the middle west and far west,
as a judge of horses, and he brings
recommendations from k 8
throughout western America.
The stock thus introduced into
Montana Is from Mr.. Browns famous
Aurora stables, combining weight,
quality and good breeding. His new
venture into this part of the country
was made at the request of promin-
ent breeders in Montana who needed
good stations, but who could not
spare the time o the expense of a
trip east.

see what happens. There will be a
funeral in the morning.
Commercial v~accines are frequent
ly all right. The pills are easy to in
ject and the price is reasonable. But
this type of vaccine is not to be re-
lied upon. A great many reports are
received from reliable ranchers each
year that blackleg has appeared in
their herds after vaccination with
pills, and that they could only stop
the losses by vaccination with gov
eminent vaccine.
There is no reason that this type
of vaccine should be faulty, but the
fact remains that a stockman is TAX
ing a long chance by using it. The
government vaccine is a powder and
is given as a liquid, mixed with water
by a hypodermic syringe. 1t is sent
free of charge from the office of the
state veterinarian, at Helena, to any
one applying for it to use on his own
cattle. This will do the work. There
is no good eason for losing calves
with blackleg when this vaccine is
free for the asking.

the subject of horses. He considers
the essential points that insure
strength and endurance are short
backs, long, heavy quarters, strong
muscles and large, flat bone.
4 I'm making my selections" he
says, fleet and legs are first consid-
cred. No foot, no horse Heavy
weight is essential in a first-class
draft horse either stallion, mare or
gelding; but without correct proper
tons excessive weight is a disadvan-
tage. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage that has resulted from
creating a beef standard to judge
stations by. Because of 1t many
hundreds find ready sale every year
and are literally patronized that
should have been castrated or sent
to the soap factory.
Weight Worries Many.
Ninety per cent of letters I re-
ceive only ask: What is the least
price for a stallion that weighs
ton?' Not a word ABOUT the proper
tions, feet and legs, or soundness.
"In my 40 years experience in the
business, of the many hundreds D.
stations l have sold, / can show b.
my books that 95 per cent have
proved breeders. OF the many sole
in the northwest in the last fiv'
years, not one has failed the frs
season. The reason for this result i
that l don't buy secondhand or worl
out horses that have been doped t.
the limit; nor do l allow any forcing
after they have come into my hands
All are kept in good, strong, breed
ing condition"

quality and (2) an adequate amount
and quality of livestock. The survey
shows that farms which are properly
organized SO far as these main fac
tors are concerned stand little chance
Tor failure. The most profitable
acreage was found to be between
200 and 400 acres. The most fav-
orable crop and stock relations seem
to be reached on farms that have
stock enough to use all cheap feeds
and waste products but not so much
as to require any considerable pro-
portion of their feed to consist of
products that have a high market
value. Seven farms organized in this
manner had an average labor income
of $3.50 as compared with $555
as the average labor income of that
region. Does this look as though
farming were much of a game of
chance when farms are properly or

that the ally of Germany would

an actual clash between the two
