Statistics compiled from the as

Urinary surgeons report show that
the total value of the horses, cattle,
swine and sheep within the boundar-
les of the state of Montana has in
creased over six million dollars dur
ing the last year. Greatest gains
have been made by cattle, which in
1915 were assessed at $~4,594,475
more than in 1915. Sheep decreased
about 100000 in numbers but were
worth $515,961 more than last year.
Swine was the only class of livestock
to show a decrease both in numbers
and in total value. High grain prices
which have made hog raising unprof-
liable are undoubtedly the reason for
a slump of 9,441 from the total num-
Der of hogs assessed in 1915.
Cattle Values Highest.

MANY DAIRY FAILURES
DUE TO IMPROPER FEED
CERTAIN GENERAL RULES WILL
MAKE DAIRYING FAIRLY SAFE
Feed the Grain Mixture in Proportion
to the Milk Yield; One Pound OF
Grain Per Da. to Each Three or
-Four Pounds of Milk.

Many failures in dairying are dut
to improper methods of feeding ant
feeding a ration that is not suited tt
the animal. While no one set o
rules could be applied to all condi
tions yet there r certain fundamen
tai principles upon which the art o.
feeding rests and which once mas
tered will generally lead to success
This art can be summarized in three
general rules as follows:
A General Rule.
i. Feed the grain mixture in pro
portion to the milk yield. The mos
general rule is to feed one pound Of
grain per day for each three to foul
pounds of milk produced per day.
2. Feed all the roughage that the
cow will eat up clean. Some of the
roughage should be s%ucculent in char.
acter.
8. When the COW shows signs OF
becoming fat, reduce either the
amount of roughage or grain or ever
of both, the n to be reduced to be
determined by the cost.
Since the roughage is generally
grown on the farm, the skillful feed
er will try to have the COW eat as
much of this as possible, as by so do
ing the expense of concentrates to be
bought can be reduced. The art of
feeding roughage can we'll be sum
married. by the following general
rules:
/. Feed 2 IL to 8 IL pounds of
silage for each 100 pounds of live
weight of the cow.
The Hay Ration.
2. Feed 5 to 8 pounds of hay or its
equivalent in addition to silage, for
each 100 pounds of live weight of the
COW. The quality of the roughage
will have much to do with the
amount consumed, hence some cows
may eat one pound of hay for each
100 pounds of live weight, in addi-
ton to the silage.
3. A farmer not having silage or
any other succulent feed, will find
that his COWS will eat from 1.6 to 2
pounds of roughage for each 100
pounds of live weight.
