ONE-THIRD OF PIGS
DIE BEFORE WEANED

prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agricultural
That about One-third Of pigs far
rowed in the spring die before wean-
ing time, is shown by reports from
representative farms in four corn belt
states. A summary previously issued
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture showed an average loss
Of more than 30 per cent, on 1853 farms
in Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, of 49,
S37 pigs narrowed in the spring.
Additional information on this sub
ject was recently furnished the de-
partment by II. G. ZavOral, live stock
specialist of the Minnesota university
extension service. The Minnesota
survey covered 1853 farms. OF 27,412
pigs narrowed on these farms in the
spring Of 1923, a total Of $500 were
dead before weaving time. This loss
Of "a per cent compares closely with
a loss Of 33 per cent in that state the
preceding year, and also with the per-
centage for the other states.
The chilling Of young pigs can be
largely prevented by proper housing
at narrowing time Those crushed by
being laid on by the SOW could have
been saved in many cases by the use

less after all expenses and losses are
met there remains a net proht from
the operations of the associations.
Support Petition Candidates
The candidates for directors who
were placed on the ballots by petit
tions are the men who should be sup
ported by the farmers who believe in
a REAL WHEAT POOL and are OPP
posed to the control of the markets
by the grain gamblers.
Retire Present Directors
All of the present directors who
voted to submit the referendum reso-
luton and favored the disbanding of
the Association should be retired
from the board. This attempt to de-
stroy the organization was extreme
ly cOwardly and criminal and should
convince all of the folly of entrCst-
ing the destinies eff this great move
ment to their keeping.
New Men Needed
When it becomes necessary for us
to resort to the courts in order to get
the officers of the Association to con-
tinue the activities and life of the
Association, then new men should be
elected to supplant them and they
should be men who believe in the orr
ginaI purpose of the wheat pool and
can be trusted not to ,betray the far
mers by selling out to- the grain gam
blers.

extent.
Onstad is quite a successful law
yer, a self-made man with consider
able political experience. He was the
first Clerk of Court in the county and
was elected county attorney in 1916,
serving one term. He has a host of
friends among the republicans, and
is IN the race with L. j. IS usual vigor.
enthusiasm and optimism. If he is
not nominated it wont be his fault.
Paul Babcock is considered prob
ably the best lawyer in the district
and he has many staunch and infU-

dcans and the democrats. He is true
to his friends perhaps that the main
objections to him because of some of
his friends. He is a formidable can
didate and it will be a pretty race
between him and Lou Onstad.
Geo. Cudhie of Scobey is also look

In the democratic list, there are
those who still insist that Judge
Conner will run again; and there
seems to be some signs painting that
way. j. j. Gunther is also being
mentioned as a possible candidate for
the democratic nomination.
Others are getting ready to file for
other Offices and their announcements

He seems to be more interested in the

Make Rapid and Cheaper
Gains by Using Protein

Pigs on good pasture make more
rapid and cheaper gains and are
ready for market at an earlier age
when small amount of high-protein
feed Is used with the grain ration.
In recent tests at the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station the cost of
corn fed alone to pigs on excellent
forage was $500 for each 100 pounds
of gain. The cost of. corn and tankage
added at the rate of .27 pound Of the
latter per head daily, for each 100
pounds Of gain was $3.50, a saving of
A cents.
The addition of tankage increased
the rate of gain from ID pounds to
ID pounds daily and enabled the pigs
to reach a market weight of 200
pounds twenty days sooner than pigs
fed corn alone This gain in time is
important in the fall when the trend
of prices is downward.

Advantage to Have Eve
Flock Gaining in Weigh

When the eve flock is gaining in
weight rather than losing at the
breeding season, they will come in
heat more nearly at the same time
and should all breed within three or
four weeks. This is a big advantage
In the spring, for then the lambs will
all be dropped within a comparatively
short period and careful attention can
probably be given the flock at that
time. When ewes are in a gaining
condition they drop more twins. This
has been proven time after time on
the western range where the lamb
crop is largely determined by condI-
lions at the breeding season.
With the beginning of cool weather,
healthy ewes will have a better appe-
tite and II feed is provided will nat
Urally gain in weight Ten days be-
fore the ram is to be turned into the
flock the ewes should be given a little
gFain-abOut half a pound a day-or
else have the run Of a good pasture.

The remaining storm periods for the

cloudiness, fog, mist and drizzling

Mr.. August Nelson,
LewistOwn, Montana.
Dear Sir:
| have observed from state
ments in the press purpOrting to
come from the officials of the
Montana Wheat Growers AssOci-
alton to the effect that there was
not g Mandamus case filed to
compel the Board of Directors to
carry out the mandate of the by
laws in holding the annual cleo
ton.
These published statements in
dictate that a Mandmaus case was
not FILED; with hair splitting
technicalities this statement
might be true yet it conveys and
gives a false impression.
At the request of yourself and
others interested in the welfare
of the association / devoted con-
siderable time to this matter,
carefully briefing the law, after
which you and others attended at
the associations office on the
date fixed in the bylaws for the
annual election, but the place of
business having been locked for
the day, after which, formal re-
quest was made by this minority
for the calling of the annual
meeting.
This request being ignored, the
affidavit for Writ of Mandate, Or
der and the Writ of Mandate and
all the papers necessary in the
case were prepared and fully
signed and executed ready for
presentation to the court of Fer
gus County for a Writ of Man
date to compel the directors to
call the annual meeting.
At the request of yourself and
others / went to LewistOwn per-
sOnally to obtain this Writ of
