Precautiom Inn Pastaring lis
Safest BlOat Preventative

Since occasional losses have been r
ported. it is always well to use pre-
cautions whenturning cattle out"
Thus, while different crops vary in
their bloat causing tendencies, the
danger is always present and it is
well for the cattle owner to be care
full, says Mr.. Tretsven. Following are
some of the suggestions offered for
avoiding losses from bloat. Before
turning the cows out on pasture they
should be given good fill of dry
feed. Bloat usually follows when COWS
are turned out hungry and they eat
their fill of green grass. Giving the
cows all the salt they will eat or mix
ing a liberal amount of it with the
feed before turning them out is also
recommended. BY turning cows on
pasture before it has had chance
to develop the COWS get accustomed
to the fed before it available in suf-
ficient quantityto do any harm. To
accustom COWS to the pasture after
it has grown considerably, they may
be turned on for an hour or so at a
time or a bride may be placed on
each COW so as to limit the amount
that may be eaten. Once the cows
have had their fill of the grass they
should be kept on continually, 9TH
wise the entire process of breaking
them in must be gone through again.
While these various precautions
will reduce the dangers of bloat to
the minimum, there is always pos
sibility that case will develop, max
ing immediate treatment necessary.
Should bloat occur the COW should
be made to stand with her head up
hill, or stick about the diameter of
a fork handle may be tied in the
cows mouth as bit. Giving the COW
a drench of one-half pint of coal oil !
mixed with one and one-half pints
of whole milk or raw lineed oil is
In extreme cases the
cows paunch should be tapped with
a knife or a trocar and canula. This
last treatment should be done by a |
or one experienced in
such work.

June PAYMENTS ON
INCOME TAXES
ALL WHO PAID THREE FOURTHS
TAX ARE NOW EXEMPT
UNDER NEW LAW
Second instaIlment was due June 10;
Collector Rasmussen explains the
workings of new law; Refunds for
those who paid in full.

For the benefit of persons who
do not clearly understand regula-
lions that apply TO the payment of
their June income-tax installment,
under the new tax-reduction bill,
the Butte internal revenue office
has issued the following report:
"The usual notices have been is
sued by C. A. Rasmussen, collector
of internal revenue, reminding in
come tax payers that the second in
stallment of the tax is due. Of special
interest to taxpayers is the proV1s-
ion carried in the new revenue law
to the effect that the tax on indiv1d-
uals in the calendar year 1928 Will be
reduced 25 per cent. This means that
every individual who is subject TO
income tax will be relieved OF one
fourth of the tax liability which he
reported on the tax return filed on
or prior to March Is, or if the tax
was paid in full, that he will receive
a refund of one-fourth of his pay
ment.
Payments Prorated
Taxpayers who paid only one
fourth of their tax in March, however,
should not make the mistake of
thinking that they may take credit
for full % per cent reduction at once
and not pay anything when the Sc
cond installment becomes due. The
new law provides that the rs per cent
reduction shall be prorated over all
four installments. For instance, If an
individual reported tax of 500 on
his return, he can consider the new
law has reduced his tax to SIS. If he
has paid $25, or one-fourth of the
amount reported when he filed his
return, then he must pay $3.50 on
or before June Is. This amount, to-
gether with the $25 previously paid,
will make up one-half of the $75. A
simple way for a taxpayer to arrive at
the amount of his June payment is to-
remember that if his March payment
was one-fourth of the amount shown
on his ereturn, his June payment will
be Just one-half of his March pay
ment. The tax remaining unpaid after
June 18th may be paid in equal in
stallments on or before September 10
and December Is, respectively.
System Simple
"a considerable number of taxpay
ers who are accustomed to paying
all their tax when they file their re-
turns anticipated 25 per cent re-
duction, and this year paid only three
fourths of the amount reported on
their returns. This class of taxpayer
will, of course, have nothing further
to pay this year, unless additional
tax is disclosed when the returns are
audited. There will, no doubt, be
many individuals who will desire to
settle their tax accounts in full now

The TEN CORN CULTIVA-
TON COMMANDMENTS

Corn success depends much upon
cultivation, says A. j. Ogaard,
agronomist for the Montana State
College Extension Service who sums
up the subject in the following "Ten
Cultivation Commandments"
1. Thou shalt use such shovels on
thy cultivator as will prevent thy foe
the weeds-from slipping by as a
hair through a comb.
2. Thou shalt cultivate deeply only
before the roots of thy corn plants
develop near the surface between the
rows.
8. Thou shalt adjust thy shovels
to enter the ground evenly and at
such angle as will protect thy corn
plants from being covered by soil.
4. Thou shalt not cultivate deeply
on average soils during the remainder
of the season, lest moisture be lost
and a new crop of weed seeds be
turned up to plague thee.
5. Thou shalt desist from cultiva-
ton that pruneth the roots of thy
corn plants.
6. Thou shalt honor the duckfoot
type of shovel that maintaineth the
granular clod mulch and wreaketh
death and destruction to the weeds.
z. Thou shalt not stir the soil
deeply needlessly.
s. Thou shalt provide air and mois-
ture for the bacteria of the soil that
they may multiply and provide "soil
soup" for the coru plants.
8. Thou shalt strive to maintain
thy corn field level like unto a floor.
10. Thou shalt not ridge or hill
thy corn at the last cultivation for it
availeth nothing and may do harm.
even with the most careful me-
thods of cultivation" says Mr.. Ogaard
you will be very apt to find some
Russian thistles, volunteer grain,
ETC., in the corn row or close to the
hills. These 'strays' may be quickly
rounded up by walking up and down
the rows with sharp hoe. A little
of such hand work with hoe will
pay in returns as we'll as satisfaction.

WHEAT POOL MAKES ITS
FINAL 1923 PAYMENT

Checks for total of approx
mateIy 100000 are being sent out
to members of the Montana Wheat
Growers Association in final set
Element for the fall pool just
closed, according to an announce
ment from the office of the associ-
alton.
This is the final one of several
payments that have been made to
members of the association since
the opening of the fall pool for the
1928 season, and marks the clos
ing of that pool.
Members of the association will
be gratified at the news of this fin
al settlement, for it is being made
rather more promptly than had
been expected, and to the member
ship generally it will come as an
agreeable surprise.
The Montana Wheat Growers
association has handled a large
volume of wheat this past year, in
spite of the many set-backs and diff
ficulties, and the settlement just
being made for the fall pool is the
elimination of considerable
amount of work in the association
offices. The association represents
farmers in all parts of Montana,
and has headquarters in Lewis
town. 1t is affiliated with the Ann
erican Wheat Growers Associat-
ed, with offices in Minneapolis,
Duluth, Spokane, Portland and
Seattle.

CENTRALIZER AIDS
CREAMERY TRADE
BY @. j. CHRIsTIANsON, Manager

By @. j. CHRISTIANSON, Manager
Mutual Creamery Company, Butte.
a BOUT rs per cent of the butter
n made in the United States is
4 n made by so-called centralizers,
located at railroad centers where ia
cilities for receiving cream on many
daily trains are assured.
Has Montana Creameries
Montana has about so more cream
cries than any other state in the
Union taking into consideration the
population of the state and number
of dairy cows owned. Most of these
creameries are located at producing
centers buying cream from nearby
farms and selling butter locally. Cen
tralizers are established in the larger
towns and railroad centers and draw
their supply from all over Montana
and adjoining states. In 1928 two
creameries located at Butte churned
one-third of the butter manufactured
in the entire state, and made 20 per
cent of the ice-cream. The centraliZ-
ers give the producers an unlimited
market for cream by churning butter
in large quantities and shipping it to
eastern and Pacific coast markets in
car lots, basing the price of butterfat
on prices obtained in these markets.
But for these outlets, the home mar
ket would be overstocked and prices
demoralized, and dairying would not
be a profitable business for the farm
ers, many of whom rely on the cream
check for steady cash income.
In order to obtain the best prices
for butter, the raw material CREAM
must be of high quality, and system
of paying for cream on grade has
ben followed for the past two years,
making it an object to the producer
to deliver high-grade cream.
Old System Passe
The system of buying cream at
cream stations is no longer consid- |
cred satisfactory, except at the most |
favorable points, where large am
cunt of cream is delivered and for
warded to the factory every day, and |
where the business is in charge of an |
cream agent who can de-
vote his entire time to the BUSINESS. |
The more progress the centralizers |
now depend almost entirely on direct |
and farmers are rapidly |
themselves to this condi- |
ton by milking more COWS so as to
have can of cream ready for ship |
ment every few days. Cans are re-
turned and checks mailed to the ship |
)ers within "a hours after the ship
nent is received at the factory.
The dairy business in Montana is |
Increasing rapidly, and the centraliz-
IFS of the state deserve credit for
giving the producer an unlimited |
naret for butterfat at all times
throughout the year.

that the 25 per cent reduction is an
accomplished fact. The amount due
in any instance where the taxpayer
desires to pay in full will be the total
amount of tax shown at the time of
filing the same. The collector of in
ternaI revenue states that such action
would be advantageous from the gov
ernment's viewpoint, as it would
eliminate considerable bookkeeping.
Three-Fourths is Total
"In view of the fact that the tax
notices we're prepared prior to the
enactment of the new law, taxpayer
who paid three-fourths of the tax on
filing his return may receive notice
from the collector advising of the
amount assessed, amount paid and
the remaining balance, but in cases
of this nature no further payment is
due. The payment made in June, plus
the amount already paid, must equal
one-half of the total tax due, after
taking the rs per cent deduction
Likewise, the amount paid in Sep
TENDER, plus the amount previously
paid, must equal three-fourths of the
total tax liability, after the 25 per
cent reduction is taen The remand
er of the tax liability will be payable
on or before December Is.

Hy HE ONLY way to avoid the
dangers of bloat in dairy cattle
l. is to observe every possible pre-
caution when first turning the cattle
on to new pasture, says j. 0. Trets-
ven, dairy specialist for the Montana
State College Extension Service. Lee
gume pastures are especially likely
to cause bloat with alfalfa one of the
worst offenders. Discussing the sub
ject of bloat and alfalfa, circular 116
of the Montana Experiment Station
says: "AIfalfa for pasture is of Sc
condary Importance in Montana.
Farmers object to the crop for pas
ture largely because of the common
occurrence of bloat. However an al
falfa field may be safely pastured if
precautions are taken. Some farmers
who practice pasturing cattle and
sheep on alfalfa state that the dang
er from the bloat is not great enough
to offset the value of the pasture. If
pasturing is attempted, great care
should be taken to see that the cattle
are not hungry when turned on the
alfalfa pasture and that sufficient
amount of other forage is avail
able
Sweet clover, while also legume,
does not appear to cause bloat to the
same extent as alfalfa, although all
possible precautions are advisable
when cattle are first turned out on
sweet clover pasture. Circular 11SI
of the Montana Experiment. Station on
the growing and using of sweet Glow
erin Montana states: "Sweet clover
seldom causes bloat. Only five grow
ers out of 131 who reported have lost
livestock from bloating as the result
of pasturing on sweet clover. In other
states, where this crop is used extern
sively for pasture, there are only oc-
casional loses from bloat. There is no
satisfactory explanation for the COM
parative freedom from this danger.
