SHERIDAN COUNTY PLANNING
CAMPAIGN AGAINST COYOTES

Farmers and ranchers throughout
Sheridan county are cooperating
with the United States biological de-
partment and the state fish and
game commission in an effort to ex-
terminate coyotes in that part of the
state. Coyotes there have appeared
in such numbers as to prove a grave
menace to sheep and turkeys and the
annual damage has been large in
past years.
Both state and federal authorities
are cooperating to the extent that
together they pay one-half of the sal
airy of a man in charge of the cam
paign and they will also furnish free
poison. According to the federal
plan, coyote determination is being
carried on in this manner on a very
large scale and with decided success
in other parts of the state. One
hunter covers a large district, and
the pelts secured become the property
of the association or group which has
charge of the campaign and which
pays the hunter. This makes the
cost very small, and in many cases
the obtained through the
sale of pelts has completely betrayed
the salary of the hunter. A county
meeting will be held in the very near
future to consider definite plans for
starting the work.

HOLDS
CORN TESTS

HORN variety tests are being car
ried on in seven communities in
- Roosevelt county this year, in
which IL strains of the best corr
that has been produced in the county
are being grown side by side under
exactly the same tillage conditions.
The anne of the farmers conduct
ing these variety tests are: Ben
Smith, Divide community; Earl Malt
by, Wide Awake community; I. w.
Buchanan, Mineral Bench commun-
ity; Charels Hawkins, Lenark COM
munity; William Irish, Be Square
community; Anderson Brothers, Pi-
oneer community; and John Dorgan,
Pershing community.
County Agent Dan B. Noble in dis
cussing these tests, says: "The great
est results obtained from these tests
are the observations along about ma
turing time, the state of the plant,
characteristics of which show great
variations, and the final check UP on
grain and fodder yield when the corn
is harvested. 1t is impossible for
corn to be compared where it is rails
ed under different conditions, and
people are prone to pass judgment
on such comparison. The only way
to get reliable data from these diff
ferent strains of corn and to compare
them is when they have been raised
under exactly the same conditions"

Crago animal trap, a purely Montana
invention, which combines very light
weight with immense holding power
and a high catch, catching tn body in
fifty per cent of the cases
The company on this recent occa-
sion exhibited two sizes of traps,
their No. 4, weighing 6A ounces, for
mink, marteen, and other small ami
mails, and their No. 7, which is used
for coyote, beaver, and larger game,
and weighing two pounds.
The headquarters of this com

Missoula, Montana, while the fac
tory is at Toledo, Ohio, in con5unc-

veloped and more farmers are taken
into the circle. AS has been said,
there are now "a bulls so distributed
among farmers of the Yellowstone
valley. All that is required of the
farmer is that he keep accurate and
careful records; he receives the SER
vices of the bull without cost. With
in a few months seven more bulls
will be put out, and it is expected that
the increase will continue at the
rate of IL to Is each year. At the
present time, the bulls in service are
used in Sc herds and serve $50 head
Of cattle. Bulls that reach the prov
en- sire class, are worth several thous-
and dollars each and yet the farmers
cooperating in this work, receive
their services without charge.
The five years that have already
been spent in this work in Montana
have been largely devoted to getting
the undertaking started. 1t is expect
ed that it will require a period Of 40
to so years to accomplish the hoped
for results Of developing cattle that
can be depended upon to transmit
high milk producing qualities. Re
suits from the first generation of
offspring are just beginning to come
in, and those in charge Of the work
are satisfied that the first great step
in this important work has been sue
cesfully taken.

| agrees to keep records of his COWS
and of the offspring sired by the bull
In this way the productive ability OF
the mother is compared with the
daughter and the influence of the
bull definitely determined. If the
production of the daughter shows a
favorable increase over the dam, the
bull is listed al a proven sire; if the
result is not satisfactory, the bull is
taken from service. Thus in the cas-
of proven sires, the pedigree is back
ed up by known service. Breeders
have long since found that the pedi-
gree alone is not dependable in all
cases. Bulls of the highest breeding
have been known to produce poor re-
suits, and the only way to be sure of
the sire's ability is through his off
spring.
AS the poor bulls are eliminated
and as good bulls are located for fur
Their trial the quality of the sires and
their offspring is gradually raised.
When a farmer has used a proven
sire as long as good breeding prac-
tees will permit, a transfer of bulls
with some other farmer takes place,
and a new proven sire heads the
herd. AS time goes on the offspring
of the first proven sire is mated with
the second proven sire, and this pro-
cess is gradually extended and contin-
ued. Eventually it is hoped that the
quality of a high milk production
will become so highly concentrated
in the animals that it will be trans

nine-tenths pounds. The range was
two pounds of hay in the ration, CIV
ing practically equal results.
5. No advantage in health or
thrift of breeding ewees i'd hay and
sunflower silage over those fed al
falfa or clover hay only was noted in
any of the tests.
6. Sunflower silage as the sole
feed for breeding ewes did not prove
satisfactory in one trial. During the
period that ewes were fed half the
usual feed of hay and all the silage
they would eat in addition, they held
up in weight very well. When fed
silage only for three weeks they lost
in weight at the rate of about one
third of a pound a day, losing a con-
siderable part of the reserve that
they should have had at LANDING
time. While fed silage only they ate
as much as six pounds per head daily
at first, but after two or three days
they would not eat more than five
pounds.
z. A ration made up of five and
one-half pounds of sunflower silage,
one-half pound of oat straw and three
and six-tenths ounces of cottonseed
cake per eve daily gave fairly good
in one test. The cost of this
at the prices prevailing was
practically the same as a ration of al
hay with which it was COM
pared. The results obtained with
three and nine-tenths pounds of al
hay per head daily were some
what more favorable as indicated by
he condition of the ewes. Other con-
as to prices and feed supplies
occur that would make the ra-
ion with no hay more economical.

/" HE highest producing COW il
Montana gives more than $1,000
pounds of milk in a year; there
are a great many others in this state
that only give about a tenth of thi:
amount. What is the cause of this
great variation in milk production
Is it possible to definitely fix the
characteristic which will definitely
assure high milk production? BY the
careful selection of plants and the
elimination of those that are unde-
sirable, it has been possible to great
ly increase the per acre yield OF
wheat by developing seed of high
producing habits. Is it possible by
the same means to develop COWS that
will also have the high producing
habit fixed in them?
In the Yellowstone valley of Mon

just as the high producing qualities
of wheat can be definitely fixed, the
only differnec being that the work
of fixing this characteristic in COWS
must necessarily owe a long period
of time because of the time involved
in breeding and in arriving at the
age of production. In three genera
tions a single grain of wheat may re-
produce itself $4,000 times and this
