WOULD LEARN SECRET
Of THE LOCO WEED

In an effort to get the "actiVe prin-
lpal' of the locol weed, the substance
that makes wild horses wilder and
cattle walk calmly over the brink OF
cliff and shy from an irrigation
ditch, DR.. Emil Starr. chemist for the
state sanitary livestock board. is con-
ducting a series Of experiments on
which he has been working for
months.
An abundance of loco" weed. col
loauially known as pigeon toes. be
ins weed with white flowers, the
letals Of which are no larger than
the toe of pigeon. has been collect
Cd and every substance and element
is being eliminated in an effort to get
down to the real kick. Others in the
stock building say that the extract
Of loco weed. with a few parts OF wa
ter. vinegar and Jamaica ginger will
give a guaranteed ''kick" without the
need OF any alcohol.
However. DR.. Starr is makins Il Sc
rious effort to locate the active prin-
icipal of the growth. which for 50
ears has batfled scientists. DR.. Starz
has taken a big collection of the
white weed and boiled it down until
ii is possible to puiverize the remain
ing substance. This has been treated
chemically to eliminate all gums, ssl-
gar and other substances which have
been known to be in the loco for
years.
Scientists have tried every known
method OF getting the active princi-
pl. They hive taken the extract and
ried inocalatiOn and similar methods
without avail. The problem is To-
cate the active principal if it can he

TREMENDOUS DEMAND FOR
RAILROAD CARS EXPECTED

Last year considerable difficulty
arose on account of the car situation
and while today there appears to be
plenty OF cars to move livestock, it
is the prevailing opinion that this is
occasioned by the fact that very few
shipments are being made at this
time. However. within the next so
days it is said to be a positive fact
that there will be tremendous de-
man for cars and the railroads will
be unable to furnish enough to meet
this demand.
A committee of South St. Paul
men who are vitally interested in the
live stock business, have taken charge
OF the car situation and if at any
time any one in this vicinity is un-
able to obtain cars er have any diff

DUCK SEASON I
OPEN SEPT, Il

Demand for hunting arms of all
kinds and for amanunition of sizes
ranging upward from the .22 caliber
| rifles and IA gauge shotguns pre-
diets big slaughter when the Mon
tana hunting season orens. Game is
plentiful throughout the state, ex-
cept as to elk, which have been
slaughtered and have died from se-
we're winters. Grouse also are scarce
in those sections OF the state where
strychnine was used in gopher poion
according to J. l.. DeHart, state game
and fish warden. Mr.. DeHart says
the duck season will be on September
l6, according to the federal law, and
not September Is, as the state law
provides. He says the opening will
be enforced strictly.
The outlook for deer is good in
all hunting sections of the state, but
that for elk is not so good,' Mr.. De
Hart explains. He says that between
October 1, 1917, and October l, 1919
a survey of elk in Montana showed a
decrease Of 1000 head and since then
reports show 1000 head have been
killed and those which died from
starvation during the winter have
not been counted.
The state law provides a limit of
one deer season. The season is
from October to December 1. How
ever, no deer may be killed in yell
lowstone. Rosebud, Custer, Richland,
Dawson, Valley. Roosevelt and Sheri-
dan or new counties created from
these counties.
The elk restrictions vary in differ
ent sections OF the state. Every
where. however, the limit is one per
season The season opens October
]? and closes at different times in
different places. The law also pro-
vides that one additional elk may be
killed in Gallatin and Park counties
on buying a special license OF $25.
Elk may be hunted and killed i'll

HOW TO MEASURE
HAY IN THE STACK

How to measure the tonnage of
hay in the stack is prescribed by law
IN Montana. The following QUOTA
tion on this subject from chapter 81
OF the 1907 session laws of Montana
is furnished ny Prof. H. f. Murdoch
of the state college department of
rural engineering:
That from and after the passage
of this law, unless otherwise agreed
to between the contracting parties,
the following shall constitute the le-
gal measurement for hay in the stack
in the state of Montana:
-Four hundred twenty-five (422)
cubic feet shall constitute ton Of
clean, naive, blue joint hay, after
80 days and up to three months set
tlement in stack; but. when the
same shall have been over six months
in the stack, three hundred forty
(34O) cubic feet shall be considered
a ton.
''As to all other kinds OF hay. af-
ter the same shall have settled in
stack from sixty days up, five hun
dred and twelve t512) cubic feet
shall constitute ton of alfalfa or
rough slough grass, after the same
shall have been in the stack thirty
t3O) days and up to one (1) year.
Four hundred fifty (45O) cubic feet
shall constitute a ton of clean tim
othy and clover after the same shall
have been in the stack thirty days,
and up to one year.
Making measurements OF hay in
the stack, the following is hereby
made the legal method OF measure
ment. sto-wit: The width and length
Of the stack shall be measured, and
the distance from the ground against
one side Of the stack to the ground
against the oher side of he stack,
directly over and opposite, shall be
taken by linear feet and inches, and
then the width shall be substracted
from the measurement over the stack
as above indicated. the result divided
by two. and the result so obtained
multiplied by the width, and the re-
suit thus obtained multiplied by the
lengh which will give the number
of cubic feet contained in the stack.
and the tonnage shall thereupon be
determined by dividing the total
number of cubic feet allowed under
the provisions Of this act for ton.

PROMPT PAYMENT ON
WILD ANIMAL BOUNTY

Prompt payment OF bounty claims
has greatly overcome the former age
old evil in Montana of ''scalping"
claims whereby dealers in the state
bounty claims reaped the harvest
which belongs to the hunters and
trappers who devoted their efforts to
Kidding the ranges of many coyotes,
timber wolves. mountain hons and
other predatory animals. according
to members of the state livestock
commission.
Bounties offered by various stock
associations, in addition to the state
awards, have increased the value Of
wolf hides to 500, $3.50 and 5000
in various sections of the state and
the major part of the reward due the
hunters has not always been received
by them.
Instead we have been paying the
middleman 20 per cent on his money
which was tied up in the state
claims for SO days." one Of the men,
bers of the commission said.
Bounty claims paid by the state are
$3.50 a head for coyotes and wolf
pups, SIS for grown wolves, $40 for
mountain lions and the additional
amounts offered by stockmen. Cas-
cade and Meagher county growers
have offered fat rewards for good
shots.
Claims are investigated by the
county inspectors, approved by the
county clerks, certified by them, for
warded by the holder TO the state
livestock commission, referred to the
county Investigator for correction and
paid direct to the trapper in 60 days
under tho rev plans of the state
commisso9. n wears gone by the
claims were assigned and held some
times for year or two before being
paid. The underwater got them for
little or nothing. Traffic in hides Of
predatory animals from one state to
another stopped when the Montana
authorities demanded nelts with all
four paws intact. The state takes
the scalp of pelt for receipt.

FOR PESTS OF FARMS
