since the same two men may milk
and otherwise care for the herd, the
labor of the third mixer required

pensed with.
Depreciation Allowed For.
This tendency toward economy
when machines are used cannot re-
suit in actual economies in all cases
when a smaller number of cows is
MIXED, since depreciation, fuel con-
sumption, repairs, interest on the in
vestment, ETC., are responsible for
considerable costs which must be
charged to the milking expense.
1t was found that in herds of Is
COWS or less the average time re-
quired to milk cow by hand was a
fraction over seven minutes and by
machine a fraction under five min
utes. In herds of over so cows, how
ever, the time required to milk by
hand was fraction under seven min
utes and by machine AIS minutes.
In milking by hand, the average cost
per COW in herds of Is COWS or less
was $10.91 year as against $10.45
in herds of SO or more. When ma
chimes were used the cost was SLIT
a year in the smaller herds and 1874
in herds of SO or more.
Time Left for Field Work.
The value of the labor replaced
by the milking machines was found
to vary from 1898 per COW in herds
of Is cows OF less to 1888 per COW
in herds of more than SO cows The
addition to the time available for
field work due to use of the ma
chimes was found to vary from 1.5 to
81 hours per day, according to the
size of the herds.
Attention is called to the fact that
machines must be operated
by competent operators and that
by hand after the machine

HEADWAY IN WAR
AGAINST RODENTS
COUNTY AGENTS WORK BRINGS
EXCELLENT RESULTS, SAYS
GOVERNMENT REPORT.
Campaign This Year May Exceed
y That of 1919, when IL 1887 Ounces
of Strychnine was Distributed
Among Farmers; After Gophers
and Prairie Dogs.

County agents in Montana, for the
department of agriculture are report
ing great Roadway in the campaign
against rodents in Montana. The
work may exceed that of last year
when 1857 ounces of strychnine
were used in mixing bait. A total of
482,863 pounds of bait was sold last
year at an average price of 81 cents
per pound and distributed over g.
658,990 acres among 1880 farmers
for discriminating various kinds of
rodents. Last year the campaign
conferred chiefly in the western and
northern countries. They are being
extended rapidly.
The last reports received from
county agents cover operations for
April. Reports of May and June have
not been made. In April 81 counties
in the state conducted projects on
more or less extensive scale covering
the rodent control work.
Blaine County Leads.
Blaine county in northern Montana
led with the largest amount of bait
mixed and distributed, twenty-six
tons. A thorough county wide cam
paign was conducted. One week was
set aside during the month to be
known as Gopher week, during which
every farmer was expected to poison
his land.
With respect to the general rodent
control work in Montana the follow
ing summary was reported as fol-
lows:
Government and state bait were |
supplied promptly to each county con-
Quoting this type of work and in a /
great many cases at the close of the |
month committees reported from rs |
to 90 per cent clean up of rodents
in their entire counties covering both
government and state and private
lands.
Kill Prairie Dogs.
yellowstone and Custer devoted
their work pretty near entirely to
prairie dog control, this being the
rodent commonly found in these
counties. . Approximately so tons of
poison bait was prepared and distrib-
uted among the ri counties during
April, the bulk of this being handled
through the county committeeman
and the general direction of the cam
paign being entirely carried out by
them"
