damp. dark harms. Dirty drinking
water contributes to the trouble.
There are two kinds of sconrs that
arc prevalent. white and common.
White scolrS can be prevented by
treating the navcls Of the new born
calf with iodine and applying a di>in-
fsctant powder. This prevents infec-
ton getting into the body through this
source.
Common Scours are the worst Of
the two and they result from poor
feed ana can he stopped by giving the
calf the right rationS. Where they
are prevalent first put the calf on Il
Imlf ration. Then give one 10 three
tablespoons of castor oil. depending
upon the size Of the animal. If the
milk is he basis for suspicion pre-
pare Il mixture of one part 40 per cent
formalin and 81 parts Of water. Place
one tcaspoonful Of this preparation in
tho mixture with every pound Of milk

Then clean the quarters and 500 that
the calves arc kept clean and get

OF clean water and salt will stop the
trouble.

COLONEL VAN ORSDALE,
WHO WAS WE'LL KNOWN
IN MONTANA, is DEAD

Colonel John T. Van Orsdale, a
notable military figure well known
in Montana, died a few days ago in
Los Angeles. On his graduation
from West Point, in 1872, he was as
signed to duty at old Fort Shaw, on
the Sun river, above Great Falls.
He served with his regiment in the
Yellowstone campaign against the
Sioux Indians in 1876 and participat-
ed in the battle of the Big Hole in
Beaverhead county against the Nez
Perces where he won a promotion
and special mention for meritorious
and gallant service.
He spent the summer of 1916 in
Kalispell and on Libby creek where
he was interested in placer mining.
In the early 70's, with the late
General Woodruff, both of them be-
ing then young lieutenants. made,
under military auspices. a reconnais-
sance between Fort Shaw and Fort
Colville, Wash. On the return trip
they passed through Flathead val

BALANCE STATE HAIL
INSURANCE BEING PAID

Warrants for $57 600, REPRESENT
ing the remainder Of the state hail
insurance claims for the 1921 sea-
son, were mailed Monday by E. K.
Bowman, chairman of the state board
of hail commissioners. Claims for
the season total $147,00O.
The seasons losses were not only
higher than last year but exceeded
the revenue for 1921. However,
there was a surplus in 1920 and this
surplus will more than help the state
break even this year. In 1918 the
loss rate was higher than this year
and in 1917 and 1919 it was lower.
Hail insurance warrants have been
registered and will draw six per cent
interest till called for payment
which, it is thought, will be about
the first of the year. The state hail
board has the power to borrow
money and if a loan can be made the
claims will be paid before the state
has the revenue from the collection
of the years taxes.
Severe hail storms occurred in
1921 in Fergus, Wheatland, Daniels,
Musselshell, Sheridan and Saltwater
counties. The ratio of loss in these
counties ran all the way from PCS
per cent in Fergus TO 10 per cent
in Saltwater.
Decrease in the amount of state
hail insurance written this year is
due mainly to the decrease in acre
Mr.. Bowman believes, and the
of the farmers to "let the hide
90 with the tallow." Statements by
several insurance men indicate that
he amount of hail insurance, state
md corporation, will show a great de-
,rease from other years.
