alent in chickens. Hogs are very sus-
ceptible to avail tuberculosis but it
is not transmittable to the human
family or to cattle, excepting under
extraordinary conditions.
The control of the disease depends
upon methods of eradication and pre-
vention. There are several methods
which may be followed, but excepting
in valuable breeding stock, the most
thorough, practical and economic
method, when the infection is extern
sive, is to slaughter the entire flock
and start a new flock with baby
chicks. The safest procedure is to
destroy the old hen houses and build
new ones on new premises for the
young chicks. Where the hen houses
are in good repair, thorough clean
ing and disinfecting may be relied
upon.
In summing up Jul observations of
the live stock industry we believe
that from a sanitary or production
point of view the most important fac
tor that presents itself at this time
is that of feeding.
When nature created ruminants
or animals which chew their cud, it
intended that these animals should
Craze over pasture or range lands
and obtain a variety of succulent
grasses attached to which were roots
and considerable mineral matter.
Ruminants are provided with a large
paunch or receptacle which holds
but does not digest food. When a
ruminant receives its fill it rests and

the present scheme of affairs our
ranges are so cut up that in winter
months animals can no longer Craze
range over a considerable area.
They are placed in pastures and fed
or other roughage, and they
eat this in one-fifth the time it would
take them to obtain a fill under nat
ural conditions.
An animal is like a human - it
never does we'll on a ration that is
eternal in it's sameness. That is
probably why nature provided differ
ent grasses upon our range. Alfalfa
and most irrigated hays, unless cut
green. contain a large percentage of
fibre and cattle cannot be ex-
to thrive upon that class of
feed alone, and especially so in a
long hard winter. |
Each year as il grazing facili-
les become more restricted and our
of dry roughage more extern
i've our livestock death rate from
l~ietetic or malnutrition conditions
ecomes greater. The lesson is plain
hat we must provide and feed a
variety of food to u live
took.
Better sires, better stock, better
i~anitation will avail US nothing if we
10 not provide better feeding.

DR.. w. j. Butler, executive office.
and state veterinary surgeon Of The
livestock sanitary board, made hi
annual report to the Montana Stock
growers convention in Butte a few
days ago.. 1t is published here in full
as every stockman and farmer in the
state should read it:
On account of the essential duties
of the livestock sanitary board anC
the fact that its work has a direct
bearing on public health as well as
that of livestock, it has been deemed
advisable at this meeting to give q
short summary of the organization
and duties and work accomplished by
the board.
The livestock sanitary board was
created by chapter 1872, session laws
of 1907, which act provided that the
president of the board of stock com
~missioners, the president of the board
of sheep commissioners, and the
president of the state board of health
of Montana should ex-officio consti-
tute a board to be known as the state
livestock sanitary board. The state
veterinary surgeon, who was at that
time appointed by the governor, was
not a member of the board, but ex-
officio secretary and executive Off
Ger of the board without extra COM
%pensation.
In 1917 on account of abolishing
the board of stock commissioners and
the board of sheep commissioners,
and in lieu thereof creating the live
stock commission, it was necessary to
amend the act which created the
157 of the session laws of 1917 codi-
fled and amended the then existing
laws pertaining to the livestock sani-
tary board, and provided that the
president of the livestock commits
sion. the president of the state board
of health and the satte veterinary
surgeon should ex-officio constitute
the board.
In 1921 the legislature deemed it
advisable to place additional duties
upon the livestock sanitary board,
and to consolidate the livestock COM
mission and the livestock sanitary
board. 1t is our sincere belief that
the present act is one of the most
able and fairest laws ever promul-
gated by any state for the sanitary
protection of it's live stock and dairy
industries. Many of the livestock
sanitary board laws of Montana and
regulations of the Montana livestock
sanitary board have received the
compliment of having been the
model for federal laws and regula-
lions and laws and regulations of
other states.
The present law provides that in
to the powers and duties
conferred upon the livestock
commission, the members thereof

Within the next 10 years Mon
tana will be producing 1O0,0OO,00O
bushels of wheat annually, is the
optimistic prediction of James H.
Reid, well known Great Falls mill
manager. Reid also says that this
years yield of wheat will reach
4O,OOO,OOO bushels, if the acreage
planted equals the average acre
yield of the past 10 years.
I'VE have often heard the expires
sion that Montana as a wheat pro
ducing state is in its infancy Mr.
Reid said. "The fact is, we have
hardly started. We have been JUS
experimenting, demonstrating what
we can raise. The result is that we
have shown the world that we car
produce the finest hard wheat grown
anywhere but because of methods
pursued, not enough of it.
''This last year will undoubtedly
prove of untold benefit to agricul-
ture in Montana. 1t has certainly
developed the fact that if we expect
to raise wheat successfully ON dry
land, we must practice better farm
ing methods. Many have learned the
lesson and this year will no doubt
prove by increased yields the wisdom
of proper cultivation of the soil.
Montana on Home Stretch
Looking backward in the history
of the Dakotas and Kansas it seems
that before a state is brought into
full production, it must go through
a period of depression. 1t does seem
that Montana has just finished max
ing such a journey-has rounded the
stake, and is now on the home stretch
and will be a sure winner.
According to figures reported by
the Montana crop reporting service,
our production of wheat in 1921
amounted to 28,168,000 bushels. Had
it not been for the lack of moisture
and the hot weather, III production
would have been considerably larger.
Winter Wheat in Good Shape
cit is too early to prophesy what
our production is going to be this
year but we do know that about
100000 acres of winter wheat came
through the winter in splendid con-
dition and we do know that the soil
never was in better condition than 1t
is this spring for the planting of
Much depends ON the wea-
Their during the next four weeks as
to the acreage put into spring wheat,
but with anything like s~easonable
weather, 1 think we are justified in
our estimate on the spring
acreage at 100000 acres,
making a total of winter and spring
acreage of 100000 which, with an
average yield of only 16 bushels, will
give us a crop of 40, 900 bushels.
1.-THE average yield for the 10
years prior to and including 1921,
included the drought years,
was 1929 bushels to the acre, run
ming as high as PAT bushels in 1911
and as low as AS bushels in 1919.
The average yield for 10 years prior
TO 1917, the commencement of the
Try period, was 22.15 bushels, so you
will see that the estimated averaged.
IF Is bushels is conservative. With
favorable conditions, the yield may

Mt. Sterling Defeats
Maysyille Four to One

The Mt. Sterling Essex played their
best game of the year at Maysville
Sunday afternoon, defeating the
league leaders by the score of to
1. The locals played an errorless
game behind the super pitching of
Franks and would have secured a
shutout over the Cardinals but for
a single to the outfield when the ball
was lost and went for a home run.
This was the only tally Maysville
was able to put across
The game here last Thursday be-
tween Paris and Mt. Sterling was
forfeited to the local team when with
the score to 1 in the sixth inning
the Paris boys objected so strenuous
ly to a decision made by Umpire Wy
att that they refused to play the
game out, thereby FORGETTING to Mt.
Sterling to 0.
Cynthiana will be the attraction
here Thursday afternoon and as they
defeated Paris Sunday by score OF
2 to 1, an immense crowd should be
on hand. Winchester will be the at
traction here Sunday and Lexington
is scheduled to play here next Thurs
day.

New Schedule
To Be Acted On

whether the Blue Grass League
win adopt a schedule Of four games
a week instead Of two probably Will
be decided at meeting to be held
at the Phoenix hotel, Lexington, on
Wednesday night, President Thomas
M. Russell has announced. Mr.. Rus
sell expressed confidence that the
change would be made and predicted
that better brand of baseball would
result
II the four-game-a-week schedule
is adopted the league probably will
split the season at the point where
the new schedule will be taken up.
1t is possible, Mr.. Russell declared,
that a Kentucky championship series
may be arranged between the win
ner of the last half Of the Blue
Grass League and the winner of the
Kitty League bunting, although the
matter has not been taken up with
the down-state organization.
Maysville now has lead of two
games over the Lexington squad in
the pennant hunt, and If the cange
to the new schedule is made before
next Sunday, the Cardinals already
have the pennant cinched for the
first section of the season. Next
Thursdays games will complete a
third of the schedule now in effect.
Sentiment among the fans, play
ers and a majority of the club own
ers In the circuit is in favor of the
four-day schedule" Mr.. Russell said
"and it seems probable that the
change will be made Immediately"

Blue Grass Seed
To Be Pooled

A movement was launched in Lex
ington Monday by members Of the
Farmers Union to have Fayette
county join with other Bluegrass
counties in the proposed pool OF
blue grass seed now in process Of
formation. and committee to or
ganize Fayette county at once was
appointed by President Charles
Land.
This committee, which is compos-
ed of w. Rodes Estill, Robert e.
Beatty, Horace w. Davis, Emmett
Coons and Buford e. Allen, was in
.structed to meet and organize and
begin pledging the crop, so as to be
able to send representatives to the
general meeting of the Bluegrass
counties. which is to be held at Win
chester later in the week. The pur-
pose of the pool, President Land de-
clared, is ito secure fair and equit-
able price for blue grass seed and to
cooperate with the other Bluegrass
counties that are in the movement
for the formation of pool to control
this crop"
1t is understood that 80 per cent
of the crop in the Bluegrass has al
ready been pledged. II is stated that
Clark ounty will have about 100000
bushels; Montgomery. $4,000 bush
els; Woodford. $4,000 bushels; Bour-
bon. 100000 bushels, and Madison.
$4,000 bushels in the pool.
