Where They Make Anchors.

The up-to-date anchor does not at
all resemble its familiar predecessor,
but is fitted with ball and socket joints
instead of having shank, and is made
of very strong cast steel. Most of
the anchors made in the United States
come from the vicinity of Chester, Pa.
The anchor which is supposed to be
the largest in the world, weighs ten

CATTLE MIXED Up ON
ROAD TO ST0CKYARDS

A shortage in livestock cars, which
is affecting the shipment of cattle to
eastern and western markets, re-
suited in a mixup in shipment to
Omaha, that has caused untold grief
to d. w. Raymond, secretary of the
state livestock commission.
When he received the sheets from
a stock inspector at Omaha he found
that in trainload of cattle that re-
Gently arrived at Omaha were car
loads of cattle from western Mon
tana, southern Montana and eastern
Montana. En- route at some feeding
yard, it is thought, somebody shut
fled the entire trainload with the re-
suit that when the cattle went
through the pens animals that were
originally loaded at Drummond and
bore the brand of the shipper of that
place, appeared in the lot of the Bill
lings man; stock of the Billings ship
per, as shown by the brand, was with
the Twin Bridges stuff, and that had
been scattered through the Drum
mond shipments.
Because there were some mort
gagged cattle in the shipment, all of
the money was sent to Mr.. Raymond,
to be sent to the owners. Then his
troubles began. One shipper for in
stance, was credited with having
shipped II head, and the commission
company wanted to settled for Is
head. Another man shipped Is head
and was given credit for only three
head.
The only way the matter can be
adjusted is to secure the record of
each individual head of cattle, it's
brand, weight and the price it
brought. Accordingly Mr.. Raymond
has refused to accept the settlement
of the commission house and has re-
turned the papers to be filled out
in detail.
Ding Dong, a Chinese stockman re-
siding near Missoula, was one of the
shippers whose stuff was caught in
the mixup. He called upon long dis
tance and wanted his money, a trifle
of $3,77O.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Physiology Of Egg Production

egg. The inner layer consists of very
small particles of lime, separated by
minute air spaces, welded together;
the second layer is heavier and of a
spongy nature, while the outside is a
thin, smooth, shell of lime containing
gelatinous substance. The latter
prevents undue evaporation of the
contents of the egg, but it is removed
by moisture or age.
The egg remains in the uterus
portion of this time is required to set
and harden the shell. The hen then
goes on the nest.
Almost everyone has seen double
yolked egg. Two yolks were liberat-
ed from their sacks at almost the
same time. They entered the oviduct
nearly simultaneously, ard the coat
ings of albumen membranes and shell
were incorporated over both yolks in
place of one.
When Laying Stops.
Sometimes, at the close of the lay
ing period an egg is found that con-
tains nothing but albumen. It is
quite small. In this case the ovary
had finished its work for the time be-
ing; the matured yolks had been
used, but the glands of the oviduct
continued to secrete little albumen.
In order to get rid of it, the excess al
bumen was covered with membranes
and the shell and laid.
There is another case of abnormal
ity which requires further explana-
ton of the workings of the reproduc-
tive organs before the condition can
be explained. refer to the inclusion
of a whole egg within an egg. Such
abnormal eggs are rare, but they are
occasionally found after hens are
frightened. 1t was explained that
eggs revolve as they re slowly forced
through the oviduct They continue
their forward movement toward the
uterus so long as the hen is in lay
ing mood, but place the hen in
strange pen Or frighten her severely,
and she can Immediately reverse the
movements of her reproductive or
gans and back up the partially form
ed eggs. An egg in the oviduct is
moved backward until it drops out of
the funnel-shaped mouth into the
body cavity. Here it is absorbed by
the hen like any other kind of food.
The collection of yolks attached to
the ovaries decrease in size, so that
within a short time the profitable
layer is relegated to the class of nom
payers. Right here you can learn
lesson about inducing hens to lay.

VALUABLE LIVESTOCK
SHOULD Be INSURED

Purebred livestock should be insur-
ed if they are particularly valuable,
or if they are owned by man of
limited means.
Before they are insured, such fac
tors as capital invested, quality or
livestock involved, size of herd, and
financial resources should be taken
into consideration.
There are a few reliable livestock
insurance companies, and many
whose reliability might be question
ed. Information relative to the reli-
ability of any insurance company may
be obtained from the state insurance
commissioner.

ALFALFA FIELDS
INVITING TO BEES
MONTANA FARMER HAS GOOD
PROFIT OFFERED HIM IN
HONEY MAKING.

With her Succulent alfalfa, whose
flowers bloom throughout the sum-
mer months, Montana has excellent
pasturage in every locality for bees
and honey making is an industry that
may be conducted with very little
expense and much profit as an avoca-
tion on the average Montana farm
In Rosebud county and in Carbon
county there are some very large
apairies, from which thousands of
pounds of honey are shipped every
year. At one of the apairies in Car
bon county the bees make their hon
ey in little individual frames, just
enough for one person at a meal, and
they are used by railroads in their
dining car service.
There are many varieties of bees
but one of the best adapted to the
Montana climate and forage is the
Italian bee. 1t combines many of the
best qualities, required in profitable
honey-makers. 1t is a good worker,
and protects the hive from robber
bees and wax moths.
Moths Are Dangerous.
Frequently moths get into a col
ony of bees and completely riddle the
honeycomb. The italian bee not only
rids the colony of the adult, but
also kills the young of this moth.
This race of bees is also resistant to
the European foul brood, one of the
two most dreaded bee diseases in the
country.
Another excellent attribute of the
Italian bee is that it stops breeding
when the honey supply becomes
short, and in this way does not fill up
the hive in the winter with lot of
extra bees that serve only to eat up
the store of honey. 1t is ordinarily
gentle.
They're Like Their Namesakes.
The German, or black, bee Is an
other race that is common in this
country. 1t is not quite so large as
the Italian bee, but is an excellent
worker. This bee is somewhat in
clined to rob the hives of other bees,
and in this way does not live up to-
the standard of the Italian bee. tt
makes a good looking comb, Gaping
the honey white. The principal dis
advantages of this race are it's sus-
ceptibility to the European foul brood
and it's cross disposition.
These Are Gentlest Known.
Two other races of bees that are
sometimes found in this country are
the Carniolans and Caucasians. Both
are good workers, but the Caucasian
bees have habit of propolizing the
entrance and sides of the hive with !
q glue-like substance.
Both these races are prolific, and
are given much to swarming. They
both resemble the German bee in con-
formation and color so much that it
takes an expert to tell the difference.
They are the gentlest bees known,

TIME TO COVER
BERRY PLANTS
STRAWBERRIES HOULD BE
WE'LL MULCHED IN EARLY
DECEMBER.
Protection Should Be Sought Against
Cold Wintry Weather, Dangers En-
cOllntered During Early Thaws in
Springtime, and Sudden Changes
in Temperature.

There is hardly a place in Montana
where strawberries do not thrive,
and, as result, they are favorite
berry in the family garden, though
not produced on as large a CONNER
cial scale as would be profitable. Still
there are several large commercial
patches in various sections of the
state.
OF recent years the ever bearing
variety has become popular in the
state and in the various home papers
this fall there have appeared ac-
counts of delicious strawberries har-
vested in October and November.
Strawberries should be mulched in
early winter to protect the plants
from severe weather, and from alter
nate freezing and thawing in the ear
ly spring Sometimes thawing begins
when the soil is frozen one to two
feet deep.
Expansion Breaks Roots.
II six or eight inches of the ground
thaws out and a sudden change of
temperature causes the ground to
freeze two or three inches, the ex-
pansion is so great as to break the
roots. Then the roots are exposed to
the atmosphere, and if dry weather
follows, many plants will be killed.
Coarse slough grass is the best ma
terial for mulching. Common straw
Is is good, but packs closely around
the plants and shuts out the air. If
this material is used, is must be
watched, and if it gets too compact it
should be loosened.
Care should be taken in selecting
straw that has been thoroughly
threshed, If wheat or oat straw is
used. If poorly threshed wheat straw
is used, the berry patch will be trans
formed into a wheat field in the
spring. Straw that has been in the
stack for year is good for this pur-
pose although new straw is better if
it is threshed we'll, because it is more
easily handled and does not pack so
tightly around the plants.
December Is the Time.
The bed should be mulched the
first part of December, if conditions
are favorable. A prevalent idea among
old fruit growers is that the bed
should be mulched when the ground
is frozen hard enough to hold up a
wagon. If the ground is not frozen
by December, however, the mulch
should be put on anyway, and earlier
if the soil is becoming dry.

In selecting lambs to be fattened
for the market, the feeder should use
care, picking those which are rugged,
have plenty of constitution, and are
uniform throughout. Lambs weigh
ing from SIS to 60 pounds are of a
good weight to put into the feed lot.
If the lambs are to be grazed a short
time before being put into the feed
lot, lighter weight is preferable.
Proper feed and feed lot equip
ment are two other important factors
to be considered in fattening lambs.
Start With Little Grain.
A mistake often made by feeders
is giving lambs too much grain at the
beginning of the feeding period. At
first the lamb should not be fed more
than one-eighth of a pound of grain a
day. This amount should be gradu-
ally increased until the lamb is on
from l 12 to 2 pounds of grain a
day.
Where alfalfa hay is fed the lambs
should be given all they will clean
up. AS the grain ration is increased
the roughage ration should be slight
ly decreased. Care should be taken
to see that the lambs clean up all
their feed at each feeding because
this win avoid loss of feed and the
lambs will relish their feed much
better. Lambs weighing from Is to
80 pounds are of a good weight to
put on the market.
Equipment Cost is Small.
The cost of the equipment for feed
ing lambs is small, and good mate
rial should be used. All that is nec-
essary is good substantial feed
hunks, and, if the greatest profit is
to be realized, some sort of shed open
on the south, to give the lambs pro-
lection from damp weather.
The feed lot should be selected
and arranged to give the best possi-
BILE drainage, as there is nothing that
will cause lambs to do so poorly as
wet quarters. The feed hunks should
be so constructed as to make feeding
as convenient as possible. They may
be constructed so that the grain and
hay may be fed together and so that
they may be fed separately. The for
mer is preferable where little space
is available.
