1919 WOOL CLIP PLACED
AT Is MILLION POUNDS

Forecasts of the wool clip of Mon
tana for 1920 place the total at be-
tween 100000 and 100000
pounds. That is the view of wool
buyers that is concurred in by some
of the best-informed sheepmen of the
state. The size of the wool clip
would indicate approximately 2,000,-
900 as the number of sheep now be-
ing held in the state.
The number of sheep has been de-
creasing yearly and somewhat rapid
ly in the past 10 years. A decade
ago the J. B. Long company was
running somewhere between 10000
and, 100000 sheep. That outfit this
year will shear about 5000. Down
in Fergus county the John D. Waite
interests then ran one of the big
bands of the state. This year the
same interests will shear about 5000
sheep. A score of others could be
who a decade ago owned
large numbers, but this year either
have a small band or two or else are
out of the business entirely. There
have come some new owners, but not
sufficient to offset the tremendous
reduction in the number of sheep that
has come through the retirement
from the game of the "big fellows"
in the sheep business.
If the state of Montana were the
only place where the holdings in
sheep have been reduced, there might
not be basis for concluding that the
price of wool would be affected by
he change, according to local sheep
men. But what is true here is said
also to be true in other states where
he sheep industry has been one of
some magnitude.

SHEEPHERDER OFF
TO CLAIM ESTATE
TWO BROTHERS AND AN AUNT
DIE AND HE is HEIR TO
$15O,OOO
Will Go Into Partnership With His
Employer; Estates Are in Hard
Cash and Iowa Land; Newton Gull
bertson Will Look After the Com
fort of Woolies No More.

Newton Culbertson, formerly en-
ployed by Edward Love, prominent
sheep raiser of Miles City, received
information recently that his days of
herding sheep were over, if he elected
to go and claim the inheritance of
practically $150,O00 left to him by
two brothers who are reported to
have died recently in Iowa and who
left him 100000, and he is advised
further that an aunt, also residing in
Iowa, died leaving him about $50, 200
in land and money, which includes
a forty acre farm in what is consid-
cred one of the best agricultural sec
lions of Iowa.
1t is stated that a representative
of the estates has been conducting
nationwide search, particularly in
the west, for Mr.. Culbertson and he
succeeded in locating him in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Love.
In commenting on the circum
stances, Love stated that there are
a bunch of helpless little woolies of
mine out here on the range, and a
perfectly happy and contented herd
er who should be out there taking
care of them is speeding eastward to
claim the estate and the probabili-
ties are that he will spend the rest of
his days in ease and comfort
Culbertson, said Love, promised to
wind up his eastern affairs and con-
vert his property into cash and return
here and join him in a partnership
deal, but he exercises the fear that
he will either remain there or else
sell out and maintain a struggle to
retain possession of his cash assets.
If Culbertson happens to become
again in need of employment, Love is
of the opinion that he will consent |
again to return to his old place toI
which he would receive hearty well
come, in either event.

bringing more than an inch of rain to
the vicinity of Ephrata, Wash, 81
miles east of Wenatchee. Hatfield
engaged to do the job in about 10
days and the rain was to cover an

An increase of 10 cents a pound
for No. / 1oins and No. 1 ribs on the
Kansas City market recently, was &C
companied by the highest prices for
grass fed cattle quoted since last
December. Choice live animals sold
for SIT hundred, which shows an

there and he has been in it continu-
ously ever since until last week,
when he shipped out his last band

Winnett's interests and activities
have multiplied since the discovery
of oil to such an extent that he can
no longer pay attention to the wool
les. From homesteader there ORR
ginally Winnett has become a very

SIAM GIRL DANCER
 CAUSES STIR IN NOGALES

A report coming from Nogales says:
 The usual jitney dance at the Santa Cruz club and its unusual attractions are likely to lead to divorce suit un- less something is done about Miss Skanti el Skeerts, the beautiful Ori- ental dancer and protege of former Governor Hunt, now in Siam as dip lomatic representative of the U. s.
 The fascinating young woman of the Far East is one of the most notice able Oriental dancers of the we'll known Siam. She received her train- ing in perfectly good harem. She is master of dancing-not with head, hands or feet, but, oh, how she dances.
 Hunt met the girl when he was pre- sented at the royal Siam court. He borrowed her for Arizona and a few select entertainments in the state. The girl is beautiful all over She is aware of it. On her arrival here she was taken to the home of one of the members of the Santa Cruz club and prominent citizen, who thought his wife would take care of the strange girl until after the Santa Cruz dance. A Nubian slave accompanied the girl.

READY TO LEND FILMS ON
 MAKING CONCRETE ROADS

Many a woman more blessed with a sense of the rediculous than she is with tact has remarked to Friend Husband as he climbed from under meath the car stalled on a muddy country road after a struggle with re- calcitrant machinery, eff only movie photographer were around"
 Her wish would have been gratfed this summer in many places in Dela- ware and New Jersey, for movie oper- ators from. the United States depart ment of agriculture were there fiha- ing good roads with the assistance ot engineers from the bureau of public roads. The resulting picture, Modern Concrete Road Construction, is now ready for lending to interested per sons who make application for its use at Good Roads" meetings, schools, colleges and meetings of engineers. Every process involved in the con- struction of a concrete road is shown in the film from the heavy grading to the completed road. The picture opens with view of an automobile stuck in the mud of an unimproved country road. After the spectator has been shown all the steps in the construc- tion of a modern concrete road, the picture closes with thrilling race be- tween a railroad train and a motor truck on a concrete highway-a fea- ture calculated to show the possibili- ties of rapid transit of freight traf- fife on good roads, but not to encour- age speeding.

BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
 MAKES SATISFACTORY BAIT

A study of barium carbonate as a rat poison, made by the United States department of agriculture, indicates that 20 per cent mixture with food makes satisfactory bait. With this percentage rat ordinarily needs to eat only one-third or three -eighths of a meal of average size to get "a fatal dose. It was found that with this dose many of the rats poisoned died within "A hours, though an occasional rat was found which survived an even larger amount, thus indicating that 100 per cent mortality is not to be ex- pected in any case.
 A summary of results of experi, ments conducted by various persons with a view to determining the dead liness of barium to different animals shows the fallacy of the assumption that barium is poisonous only to rats. It is pointed out that the fatal dose of barium per pound tends to decrease relatively as the size of the animal in- creases, and that a bait calculated to be fatal to rats may be assumed to be more or less dangerous to small do- mestic animals also.

The wife was scandalized and re- fused to admit the party to her resi- dence. Shameless hussy," was what she said. She objected to the girl be- cause she was too good looking and had slave with her. The wife thought it terrible for a girl unmar- ried to be travelling with a man, even if the man were her slave. She stat ed that even if the American women have men for slaves, nice women do not travel about with them across the world unless they are married. The wife even talked divorce.
 The harried husband hurried his party to Mexico and found quarters there for the girl and her slave. There they will stay until the wonderful ability of the young woman>to do the Turkish wriggle at the Santa Cruz club dance is demonstrated.
 It is a good thing Hunt is in Siam and not Nogales. He'd have a num- Der of indignant wives making it hot. ter for him here than it is in the tropics. But they do say that its go- ing to be warm evening in the Santa Cruz club at the jitney dance.

CATTLE LOSS IN SOUTHWEST
 DUE TO OVERSTOCkING RANGE

Experiments being conducted on the Jorando Range reserve, in New Mex ico, by the United States Forest Ser vice, indicate that the number of an- imals for the permanent breeding herd in that region should be only about 50 per cent of the carrying capacity of the range in good years. This takes into account the reduction in forage and carrying capacity in times of drought and allows a range of safety for emergencies.
 Cattle raising on the open ranges of the southwest in the past has been full of vicissitudes, and it was for the pur- pose of developing some plan of man. agement that would stabilize the live stock industry and help stock owners to meat trying conditions that the Jorando Range reserve, near Las Cruces, N. Mex, was established in 1912.
 The studies carried on at the Joran- do reserve show that overstocking the range at any time, and especially during drought is poor practice, that light grazing during the main grow ing season is necessary to maintain the grama grass, that a steady im- provement in the grade of the range cattle can be obtained by following a definite plan of breeding, and that careful handling and keeping of breeding cows in thrifty condition will increase the number of calves raised on the range 25 to 50 per cent.
 Reducing the number of animals prior to drought, reserving grama grass range for poor stock and giving supplemental feed, weaning the calves early, properly distributing the water ing places. and vaccinating for black leg have kept the average annual stock loss on the reserve for five years including period of drought, down to 1.9 per cent The average annual loss on the open range in southern New Mexico during the same period is es- timated at 16.7 per cent with max imum loss of 35 per cent in 1918.
