MUST Be DIPPED

Virginia City.-It has been discov-
cred that nearly all of the herds Of
cattle in the Ruby valley are afflicted
with scabies. Tuesday, a surgeon
from the state veterinarians office
in Helena arrived in Virginia City,
and after making a thorough investi-
cation, he ordered the construction
Of three watts, one to be placed at
Twin Bridges, one at Alder, and one
at Homepark. These watts are to be
built at the expense Of the state, but
the owners of the cattle will be re-
quired to pay 20 cents per heaa
per dipping for each animal dipped
Dipping must take place once each
month for four successive months. Il
is estimated that approximately 5000
head of cattle are involved in thi.
order.

BROOM CORN BIG
COW TOWN CROP
Miles City Gains Fame AS
Home of New
Industry

Miles City-A broom, manufactured
in Miles City from broom corn grown
just outside the city, is on display at
the Civic Center and bears testimony
to the opportunity that exists for 10
cal manufacturing enterprises.
The corn was raised and the broom
made by the Hilleman brothers, who
conduct the Riverview Gardens, 4
mile and a half southeast of the city.
They expect to establish a perma-
nent business in the manufacture Of
brOoms and hope to supply the state
in the near future
The Hilleman brothers came from
the broom corn section of Missouri
several years ago. Last year they
decided to plant an acre of the corn
as an experiment. The experiment
was so successful that they have de-
cided to plant considerably more next
year and will go into the broom bust,
ress on a quantity basis.

Milk fever AND
IT'S PREVENTION

Milk fever is 2 disease that gener-
aNv occurs within the first three or
four days after caiving and is most
prevalent with. high producers after
they have reached their maturity,
says j.. c. Tretsvcn, dairy specialist
at Montana State college, in a cir
cular just sent out to county agents.
TO prevent this disease it has become
. common practice in late years to
leave enough milk in the udder at all
tines for the first three or four days
after calviEg to give some pressure in
the udder. Cows THAI are subject to
the disease should be MIXED often
during the period removing only what
j. ~ssary to keep the udder in good
condition. BY this method of han
ding the cow the pressure Of milk
VIII have the same effect as the air
treatment and thus prevent the di-
sease.
The first indications of milk fever
are a staring eye and an unsteady
gait Within a few hours the COW
wiz appear partially paralyzed ant
later totally unconscious. When thu
symptoms are observed the cow should
be given the air treatment.
