OFFERS NEW DEVICE
FOR TRUCK LOADING
Engineer Says Plan Would Save
Money For jefferson County

A new method of loading ashes and
ebert for county road work which its
advocates claim viii reduce the cost
considerably has been recommended to
the board of revenue for adoption.
The suggestion was made by ]. r..
Moon, engineer, employed by the Woodv
ward Iron company, who offered to
furnish a mechanical apparatus that
would reduce to minimum the time
required for loading the trucks. He
said he had observed road trucks stand
ing in line 80 minutes or more at a
time waiting to be loaded at cost Of
approximately 50 an hour.
The suggestion was referred to e. NJ.
Wheeler, county road superintendent,
and G.. J.. Rogers, highway engineer,
for report and recommendation.

ANIMALS KILL
1900 SHEEP ON THE RANGE

Predatory animals and poisonous
plants we're the principal factors in
causing a loss of approximately 2 per
cent of the total number of stock and
sheep grazed on the national forests
Of district number one during the
last year. Permits for 170,8G6 cat
tie and 705,393 sheep were issued
during the season and the losses were
1,615 head of stock and 1888 sheep.
Coyotes caused heavy sheep losses
on the Absaroka, Deer Lodge, Jeffer-
son, Lolo and Nez Perces forests,
where they killed more than 200 on
each during the season. Bear killed
1875 sheep on the Selway forest and
$50 on the Lolo, Clearwater and Nez
Perces. Predatory animals killed a
total of 273 cattle and 1864 sheep,
wolves being the principal stock kill
ers, doing the most damage on the
Jefferson, Madison and Custer.
Lupine was found only on the Gal
latin and loco on the Absaroka, where
88 head died from eating that plant.

BY John Zawadke

THE land should be leveled, so that
i in the thawing or hard rains that
nor or less liquify alkali soils
it will not run. When the surface
soil moves in that way termination
of the seed then in the ground is
stopped and the plants fail. To re-
seed without leveling will be but to
repeat the failure. When the land is
leveled it should be plowed and har-
rowed much the same as any other
land. This Zawadke alkali grass
seed should be planted 2 to 24 lbs.
to the acre For pasture 8 lbs. may
be better. 1t should be planted early
in the fall or early in the spring so
that it can form its roots before the
land gets too dry.
The seeds seem to find their way
a proper distance into the ground
without covering, and my experience
is that when I covered the seeds they
were too deep and failed. 1t is bet
ter to keep stock off for a year or
more SO that the ground will not be
tramped while the plant root is form
ing. This is especially important in
the spring when the ground is very
soft.
Manure on the surface seems to
help at any time, and it may be
disked, but I have found the best re-
suits by leaving it on the surface.
Straw goes we'll as a surface dressing
IN a1ka1i s0i1c for this kind Of oracs
A heavy coat of straw is found to be
very good on those patches where the
llkali forms a white crust on the
surface and the I've is so strong that
t seems no plant can stand it. On
.hese extra strong patches I have put
IN the straw and cut it with a disk
Ind then give it the seed. This, of
course, after I had the land as level
is I could get it. The surface should

PREPARING THE SEEDBED

always be packed firmly before the
seed is put in.
If it is not feasible to level the
land, a covering of straw or manure
will generally keep it from FLOWING
when very wet. I have found it very
satisfactory to SOW the seed on such
places and then cover the surface
with straw or hay.
When these instructions are fol-
lowed this grass will grow, and pro-
duce a large crop on either white or
black alkali. 1t will make a fair
crop the first year and a full crop
the second year, and stand more sum
mer drought than any grass 1 have
ever seen. The third year will be
still better than the second year.
When it starts up it grows very
fast, and should be cut as soon as it
is fully headed out. 1t commences
to bloom when the head is about half
way out of the boot. If the season is
very dry it may not completely head
out and it is better to cut it before
it bleaches. Cut it under these cir
cumstances when it commences to
bleach.

Potato Growers Association Aids

Five carloads of potatoes have
been shipped out this season by the
Central Montana Potato Growers as
ISOLATION, organized last year for the
purpose Of finding an outside market
for the surplus grown in that section.
BY disposing of the surplus spuds
to outside markets, the farmers are
enabled to secure better prices for
the balance of their crop, as in this
way any glut in the market is pre-
vented. At the present time the as
ISOLATION has orders for three ears
of seed potatoes, only one of which
has been filled.
Farmers r urged to plant the
kind of potatoes that are most in de-
mand this spring and grade them as
is done at other points where potatoes
are grown in quantities. If this is
done there is no reason why Fergus
county tubers should not find a ready
sale at outside points and the farm
ers derive a handsome revenue from
ource

Phillips Farmers Profit in Hogs

TWenty-Seven carloads of hogs
have been shipped out of Malta since
last September, some of them des-
tined for Great Falls, others to Spok-
ane and a few to Libby. During the
early part of the fall the market was
not the best and the profits small but
lately the market has been better.
The tw~enty-seven cars shipped out
brought into the county $25,65O. A
few years ago there was not enough
hogs raised in the county to supply
the local demand and pork was ship
ped in. There have been no ship
ments of pork coming into Malta for
some time.
There are four other shipping
points in Phillips county and at both
Saco and Dodson there has been a
number of a r shipped as in the west
end of the county they have been
raising hogs for some time. The
hogs raised and shipped this year
were all fattened on corn raised in
the county. None of the hog raisers
have sold off their breeding stock
and another year will see twice the
number of hogs raised that there
were this year. The next heavy ship
ment of hogs from this county will
be in the spring when the fall filters
are sent to market.
Indications are that Phillips coun-
ty will be the banner county of the
this year in the shipment of
to the market.

FIathead Farmers Testing Cows

The farmers of the Flathead prof.
ect have recently organized a coop
erative COW testing association, this
being the third such organization of
it's kind in the state.
G. H. Griswold of Moiese, who has
had considerable experience with this
type of work, was elected president.
The other officers are: Lars Beck of
Round Butte, vice president; F. c..
Becker of Charlo, secretary and treas
urer. Two other men to act with
these three as directors, are L. R.
Strum of Valley View, and Earl
Mutchler of Reservoir valley.
Enough farmers to provide 26 days
work for the tester constitutes the
organization. The tester makes
monthly visits to each farm and while
there records of production
of each COW and feed costs, so that
at the end of the year the profitable
only need be retained.

PLENTY FOOD FOR
GOOD BROOD sow
BY DIR. ID. e.
Montana State College

THE SOW that raises two litters
a year must have more liberal
allowances of feed during the
dry period than a sow that
raises but one litter a year. In
raising but one litter a year, a sow
that is sucked down to a thin con-
dition has a long period for build
ing up her condition for raising
another litter. As a result she may
be carried through the summer and
fall on pasture and grain stubble
and then fed a little more generous
ly from breeding time until farrow-
ing time if she has not picked up in
condition before that time.
Attempts to follow this method
of procedure during the dry period
with sows that are used to raise two
Filters a year has resulted in weak
Filters at narrowing time and few
or no pigs raised. This has been
experienced repeatedly and no ex-
ception has been noted. A dry pc
Rod of not less than IS days on
fairly generous feed seems to be re-
CURED to put sows that are sucked
down to only moderately thin CON
dition in shape to farrow large lit
tiers of strong pigs and to give the
required flow of milk for starting
them off properly.
It is false economy to attempt to
save grain by markedly reducing
the feed in the case of the sow that
raises two litters a year, as it is al
most certain to result in fewer pigs
raised. Lengthening the dry period
by weaving the pigs earlier may
help the sow recover proper con-
dition for a new litter, but under
many conditions in Montana this is
not the most favorable method of
handling the litter. Unless the best
supplements are available it is bet
ter practice to grow the litter to an
an average weight Of at least IS,
better still, AS to 50 pounds, be-
fore weaving, and then to feed the
sow a little more generously during !
the dry period. i
