Outside Sheep Monopolize Range

Supervisors of the forest ranges OF
the national forests in western Mon.
tana have received applications from
many Oregon and Washington sheep
men for the use of the ranging for
grazing their flocks. In case of &C
ceptance of these applications, all of
the available forest lands il such re-
served domains will be utilized. The
eason will extend from three to four
months.
On the Cabinet permits have been
issued for $4,000 sheep, within 1000
of the grazing capacity of the forest.
On the LOlo at least 10000 sheep
will range during the summer.
One sheepman in Oregon is sending
$4,000 head of sheep into the upper
Bitter Root country, to range through
the Salmon mountains. On the Mis-
soula forest most of the range is Ia
ken up by the local stock and sheep
and there will be little available
outside permittees.
1t is expected that 100000 sheep
will Craze on the forests of district
l during the coming season, the
majority of them in Montana.

If one-third the grain mixture con
sists of oats of the heavier grades
practically the same number oil
pounds of feed are required pei
pound of gain as of barley or corn,
Larger amounts of oats result in in
creased amounts of feed for a pound
of gain. Final results r not avail
able to date on the comparative feed
ing value of 40 pound oats for hogs.
Rye is usually rated about 10 per
cent below wheat or corn in feeding
value for hogs. 1t is less palatable
and is therefore eaten in smaller
quantity. Pigs which are fed rye as
the sole grain make slower gains and
take on a poorer finish than pigs fed
on other grains. Mixtures of rye
with other grains give better results
than rye alone.
Peas give goodresults as feeds for
swim. They are more often hogged
off in the field than fed after har-
vesting and threshing. The results
obtained by feeding peas alone are
quite variable, sometimes very good
and sometimes unfavorable. Not
w~ithstanding their high protein con-
tent compared with the cereal grains
they need supplementing in this res
pect for most rapid growth of young
pigs. More uniform results are OBJ
tanned by feeding peas in mixtures
with cereal grains. The value of
peas as a supplement will be discuss
ed in the next section.
Wheat Middlings or Shorts are val
liable for feeding pigs somewhat ac-
cording to the proportion of white
gluten and flour material of which
they are composed. Middlings which
are comparatively free from bran are
found to be 13 per cent more valuable
than middlings which contain a mod
crate proportion of bran. In the
same way, increased proportions of
bran further reduce the feeding value
of the middlings. The finer grades
of middlings containing only a small
proportion of bran are 10 to Is per
cent less valuable than grain pound
for pound when fed to fattening hogs
in place of grain.
Mixed Mill Feed, a wheat b%y-prod-
uct containing all the offal of wheat
from the manufacture of flour, is
less valuable than middlings for fat-I
tening hogs owing to its high content
of bran. 1t is not considered a sat-
isfactory feed for this purpose.
Wheat Bran is of value for feeding
breeding swine but it is not satisfac-
tory for fattening because of it's bulky
and fibrous nature.
Beans when cooked give fairly
good results as feed for hogs. The
most satisfactory method of feeding
consists in mixing them after cook
ing with about an equal amount or
more of ground grains, weights of
the beans to be taken before the adj
dition of water for cooking. Fed in
manner, n pound of beans
weighed before adding water for
cooking) is practically equal to a
pound of grain.

Heavy Timber Sales

Timber sales in District No. 1 OF
the national forest for the first quar-
ter of 1923 tota1ed approximately
$324,635, according to figures given
out by forestry officials. The 1926
deals involved 52,675,00O board feet,
the price averaging 500 a thousand.
Only eight of the transactions were
for $4,000 or more.
On the Occur dIAlene, 2~2,823,00O
feet of timber brought $210,619, a
white pine sale bringing the highest
prices in the history of the service.
On the Kaniksu forest, 12,616,000
feet were sold for $71,431, or nearly
$6 a thousand. Sales of 1000 900
feet on the Cabinet and 3,596,000
feet on the Lolo brought $12,065 and
$3.50 respectively.
The timber cutting operations in
the district for the quarter amounted
to 2~1,615,000 feet, of which 9,444,-
300 was cut in western Montana. The
total value of the cut was $66,342.

his Belgian police dog, Gypsy, to Mr.

shipping the dog to the North Dakota
town by express on April 1. He was
surprised last week when the dog
appeared ut home, dust covered and
apparently tired out after having
found it's way through $50 miles of
strange country in SO hours. MI. Pen
newell took the dog back to Mar
marth, but on hunting up the owners,
refunded the money and asked to
keep the dog, declaring that when a
dog thinks enough of it's home to ira
vel that distance it ought to be kept
there.

FROG FAST TO BACK OF TROUT.
is PASSENGER FOR MONTHS

To ride on the back of a trout for
four months with it's front legs so
set between the gills that all exertion
would not bring them out, was the
uncanny and unpleasant experience
OF a three-year-old b%ullfrog, accord
ing to DR.. Maillet of Butte, who now
has the freak in his office.
DR.. Maillet captured the trout at
his country home, IA miles south of
Butte. How the frog ever got into
such a p~redicament is left to the ina
gination. The fish had carried its
burden long enough to understand
the wills and ways of the frog and
came to the top of the water often
to permit its rider to breathe. DR..
Maillet has installed the pair in a
tank of running water and will take
every precaution to keep them alive.

Is a Hog a Hog?

This question was asked recently
of a man who has had a great deal
to do with hogs. His reply was:
Eyes and no." Then he went on to
say, "a hog is a hog under one con-
dition only" He added: For cen
turtles the idea has been entertained
that the animal we call a hog has
been looked upon as an unclean
thing; in fact, Moses, the Jewish law
giver, had put a ban on the hog be-
cause of his unclean ways of living"
MEN who have raised hogs and
have studied them, with the thought
in mind to make the most out of
them in a financial way have become
convinced that if given a chance to
be different, they will not be any
animal we call a hog than a man
who drives a high-powered automo-
bile"
In explaining he went on to say:
eff the man who raises hogs will only
provide them with good troughs out
of which to eat the waste from the
kitchen or mash, and a good floor
on which to give them their solid
food and then prepare some place,
lined in such a way as to avoid max
ing mud, for them to wallow or
battle in he would soon see that a
hog is not a hog but that he is an
animal that has been much maligned.
The hog provided for in this way
will almost surely be free from dis
ease of any kind and, like all healthy
would thrive, and when, mar
keted show a bigger return to his
owner. A hog is not a hog"

garding a reference to a ".42 caliber

Mobilizing their forces to keep
Alberta dry in spite of the forth
coming vote on government con-
troll Of liquor, or licensed sale of
beer, prohibitionists have sent out
a hurry call for aid. If finances
can be arranged, hat ~silver-tOn-
gued orator, William J. Bryan, will
be approached in an effort to gain
his assistance, and other prOmin-
emit "dry'' Americans who will be
called upon will include Billy Sun
day and "~Pussyfoot" Johnson.
Plans to this effect have been an
nounced by H. H. Hull, secretary OF
the Social Service League of Alberta,
and show to some extent what a
strenuous fight is to be made against
any loosening of the "dry" laws after
the plebiscite on the liquor question
on November S, this year.
A wholesale demand for funds
has been made from every man, wo-
man and child of prohibitionist lean
ings in the province, and soft drink
concerns are to be asked for financial
aid as well in building up the dry"
war chest before the vote is taken.
l. oPOohOio Oil POI 10
of Canada are beginning to pour into
the province and the well-known well
kin is already resounding to the tune
of "bone-dry" speeches.
Pledges of aid are being SEN from
across the international boundary
line, where prohibitionists fear that
Alberta's return to a wet state
would result in further wholesale
rum-running across the American
border, a traffic already highly ex-
t~ensive, owing to large quantities of
surplus liquor illicitly shipped from
British Columbia.
Here are the questions which AL
pertains will have to answer in order
of preference on November 5, the
vote being held under the preferen-
tial system:
care you in favor of
ga. Continuation of the present Ii
quor act (Sale of liquor by the gov
eminent on doctors prescriptions) ?
"B. Licensed sale of beer in hotels,
on railway trains, or by breweries?
&C. Government control of beer
sales?
sd. Government control of all Ii
quors and beer for beverage purposes
and beer to be sold in licensed prem
iSes?"
Any one of these questions must
have SO per cent of the total votes
cast to pass. If none gets that quota
the second choice of the lowest are
given to the highest, and so on, until
one question reaches the necessary
quota.
While prohibitionists are banding
together to resist any change, the
"wets" are far from idle. There is
a sharp division of opinion in the
province, the two questions affecting
the sale of beer being practically neg
lected, and attention being concen-
trated on "wet or dry alone.
Breweries, hotel men, moderation
leagues and just ordinary "wets"
are for the fourth question, which
will enable anyone to get a bottle of
any liquor he desires for approx
$500 a bottle without having
to pay a doctor to certify that he is
Ill.
The campaign prior to the vote
promises to be one of the hottest
ever witnessed in Alberta, and will
have a vital effect upon "dry" con-
ditions in states just across the line.

Feeding Pigs for Market
BY w. E. JOSEPH, Montana Experiment Station.

II RICES for swine in relation to feed prices have a tendency to
= fuctuate more or less regularly, going through what might be
termed cycles. AT one end of this cycle or of the swing of the
pendulum, hog prices are high in proportion to feed prices, while at the
other end of the swing, hog prices are relatively low. The average
complete cycle covers about four years, sometimes requiring a longer
and other times a shorter time. The normal profit that can be ex-
pected from hog feeding operations depends on the condition Of the
market at the time. When hog prices are relatively high the margin
is quite wide, with good profits on the feeding operation. When hog
prices are relatively low hogs sell for just about enough to pay for the
feed they eat. 1t is the tendency of the hog producer to begin to in
crease his herd when prices are high with the result that prices become
unfavorable when his increased numbers are ready for market. By
reducing numbers of breeding swine when prices are unfavorable, the
number for sale becomes smaller when prices do react in favor Of the
Droducer
