Livestock Situation in Montana;
A Common Sense Talk


with stringhalt, staggering gait, fall
| ing to the ground, rolling of the eyes,
paralysis, generally in the hind legs
and quarters, and in some cases con-
vulsions may be present. The appe-
tite and excretions of the animal ap-
parently may be normal. The period
of attack varies from one to three
hours to a day. Recovery or death
depends upon severity of attack, the
quality and kind of feed available.
Recovery from first attack in many
cases is followed by second attack
in from seven to fourteen days.
We have had many such cases this
past winter. This condition was not
always confined to the weak animals,
in fact, in mapy instances it was ap--
parently the strongest animals in the
herd that were affected. This led to
the belief on the part of many own
ers that their animals were affected
with an infectious contagious disease.
In not one instance, where the symp-
toms which I have described were
present, did we find infectious con-
tagious disease. In each and every
case we determined the primary
cause of the condition was due to a
feeding deficiency or an unbalanced
ration.
1t may sound paradoxical, but in
short grass country, where there is
natural protection and the range is
not overstocked, it is more humane
to run animals on the open range
than it is to confine them in small
pasture or barn yard and feed them
q strictly matured hay diet over an
extended period of time.
In addition to vitamines so essen |
.ia1 to life and development, growing |
animals require a certain amount of |
exercise, thus the desira bility of an |
open range or a large pasture. Ami |
mails also require good water sup
,ly. If an open spring or an artesian
we'll is not available, it will pay one !,
hundred cents on the dollar to build
water tanks and put in tank heaters.
The more you confine animals the
more disease and trouble you may
xpect. and the more expensive will
'e their production.
Montana is fundamentally a range
II a large pasture country. 1t is not
country for dogie cattle confined in
barn yard. A realization of these
acts, together with a realization of {
he necessity of feeding food posses
ing laxative qualities and containing r.
itamines and proteids, along with :.
ur matured hay, will tend to develop
etter livestock and to make the live '
tock industry more staple and prof t
able.

$15O,OOO Shorthorn Prizes

The American Shorthorn Breeders
Association has appropriated, for
prizes of all classes, for the year
1920, $150,000. This amount is ap-
proximately so per cent greater than
that appropriated for 1919, which
was very much in excess of any
amount ever previously set aside for
Shorthorn prizes.
AS much of this is appropriated on
the basis of 81 paid by the Short
horn Association and So by the fair
or show association, and large per-
centage on a fifty-fifty basis, it will
be seen at once that the total amount
which will be offered for Shorthorn
prizes throughout the United States
will probably reach over 100000
for the current year.
Nothing like this amount has ever
been offered for prizes by any other
breed association.
In working out these appropria-
tions for prizes, the, Shorthorn asso
citation included, approximately, 400
county fairs throughout the country
and the various district, state, inter-
state, national and international fairs
and shows. But more than this,
state association sales holding shows
in connection have been included, as
have boys and girls clubs, calf clubs,
COW and calf clubs, steer clubs, etc.
The purpose is to get as near to the
grass roots as possible and to en-
courage everyone who is interested
In Shorthoxns to produce better rel
presentatives of the breed and COM

Irrigation of the home garden Al
the needed time will often not only
fsave the entire crop of vegetables but
also aid in producing better quality
and greater quantity per acre.
Irrigation of the household garden
will ordinarily require a small expen-
diture of money and time for the
most satisfactory returns. The ordin-
airy house well with a windmill will
generally furnish a sufficient supply
of water to irrigate the family gar
den.
If reservoir can be constructed,
the size of the garden can be enlarg-
ed to perhaps four or five acres. The
eastern part of Montana requires
more water to raise a satisfactory
garden than the western part of the
state.
The garden should be so planned
that the rows will run with the water
If the ground is rough it should be
leveled enough for the water to reach
all parts of the garden and not cause
pool in the low spots. A gentle
slope of about two inches in 100 feet
is ideal but a sleeper grade can be
used by making small dams between
the rows and holding the water back
until the ground is soaked.
If the garden is to be worked by
hand, the rows should be 18 or 20
inches apart with a furrow between
for water. If the garden is to be
worked by horses, the distance be-
tween the rows should be about SO
inches.
The supply ditch should be of a
size to furnish water for a half dozen
or more burrows at once, as it is ne
cessary to have a fairly good head of
water even for garden irrigation. Let
the water run through the burrows to
the end of the rows, then turn 1t into
another set of burrows. If necessary
turn the water into the burrows sew
sral times or at least until the ground
is we'll soaked.
The ground should be soaked about |
once a month, depending upon the
kind of vegetables grown. A good |
soaking before planting will be found |
beneficial and may be the only wet
ing required for early vegetables. |
As soon as the ground is dry enough, |
cultivate or hoe it sc as to cover the |
water in the ground. The dust mulch |
hus formed prevents loss of water
" evaporation.

pete with others who are undertake
ing to do the same thing.
One of the most important feat
ures is the appropriation set aside for
Shorthorn steers in the various
shows, ansamount that should en-
courage many breeders of Shorthorns
to grow more good steers and enter
these steer contests.
The remarkable development of
| fairs and shows in this country has
had a great deal to do with the stim-
ulating trade for registered livestock
and, as yet, we are just getting on
an established basis, so far as these
shows and fairs are concerned. The
influence that these institutions will
have upon the livestock industry, in
the future, will be an influence so
much greater than that which has al
ready been exerted that this may be
considered as the pioneer period. 1t
is doubtful if very large percentage
of the breeders of purebred livestock
have, as yet, formed very clear con-
ception of the future expansion of
the purebred livestock industry.
Those who study the conditions most
carefully hold the view that, in a
sense, we are just at the beginning
of the development of this great in
dustry.
The Shorthorn Association has
shown, by its liberal appropriations,
a progressive policy which is having
a broad and constructive influence,
upon the business of Shorthorn
breeding in particular, and the i'm
provement of livestock standards
generally.
Every breeder who has in mind |
making entries for the coming shows
of the season should advise the |
American Shorthorn Breeders Asso-
citation, Chicago, and obtain the |
printed c1assifications, embodying
the entire appropriations. Fair sec
retaries, also, desiring to avail them
selves of portion of this appropria-
tion, should make application to this

ualism will never pass away and
should never pass away, because the
farmer must always work to large
extent as an individual and because
a certain amount of individualism is
healthful factor in national life
That the extreme individualisn is
passing, is shown by the cooper alton
of farmers in ways that would have
been incredible a generation ago.
Farmers organizations have millions
of members. Some of these organi-
cations are engaged in cooperative
buying and selling. Farm bureaus
are bringing farmers together in sup
port of the best aims and methods
in their profession.
These things mean greater influ-
ence for farmers, greater opportunity
for farmers to impress their ideals
upon the nation. Like most otner

MODERN CONVENlENCES
END FARM ISOLATION

When a farmer can drive the
dozen miles to town in half an hour,
when he can talk over the telephone
with any other farmer in the county
or in the state, for that matter
when he gets his newspaper and
other mail daily, the period Of farm
isolation Is over.
With the disappearance OF farm
isolation, which is rapidly becoming
a fact all over the country, comes the
end of the extreme individualism
that has characterized the farmer,
for his indtvidualism was largely the
product OF his isolation. It will take
some years for this spirit to pass
away. Indeed, some Of the individ-

a result of economic determinism.
Consequently, it rests on sound
basis.
