WYOMING RANGE AND LIVE
STOCK REPORT, OCTOBER

Wyoming cattle and sheep con-
tinue in very good to excellent con-
dition, while generally very good
prospects are for an ample to a sur
plus supply of winter feed, accord
ing to the October livestock and
range report issued by the Wyom-
ing Crops and Livestock reporting
service. Fall shipments of both
sheep and cattle are making very
good progress. and a few local
trades of cattle at substantially in
creased prices have been made.
The condition of the ranges is
reported at SO per cent of normal
or the same as that of thirty days
ago. Last year an improvement dur
ing this period of two points to
81 per cent was estimated. Ranges
in the central, north, northeastern
and eastern districts cured early
and somewhat short, while in the
balance of the state excessive mois-
ture kept the grass green up until
a late date. Quite a little concern
was had as to whether or not early
frost would damage the succulent
grasses in the western sections be-
, 1925-10-14

fore they had time to cure up pro-
perly.
The hay crop is estimated at l.
$4,000 tons, or $4,000 tons great
er than that of 1924. On May l
it was estimated that approximately
80 per cent of the 1924 crop, or
4S5 tons, had remained on farms
and ranches. Most of this has been
carried thru the summer months
and will be available for feeding
this winter. Most of this years
crop has been put up under ideal
weather conditions and the hay is
of very good quality. The estimated
selling price of the various classes
is as follows: Alfalfa s8.25 per ton;
Wild or native grass hay, $500 per
ton; and other tame hay around
$S.25 per ton. Prices in the var
ious sections range all the way from
$3.50 to $17.00 per ton, depending
on the location and the class and
quality of hay.
Cattle continue in fine shape al
though a decline of three points
to 80 per cent of normal during the
past month is reported. During Sep
TENDER a year ago a decline of only
one point was estimated. but stock
in general were not in as high con
ditions as they are this year. Ship
ments have been about the same
, 1925-10-14

as last year, but there has not been
as much close selling as was the
case during the past few years. The
financial situation is a lot easier
and there is a slight tendency on
the part of some to restock. Some
are holding young steer and local
trading has strengthened the coun-
try demand somewhat. The outlook
is much brighter than it has been
for several years.
Sheep are again reported in
above normal condition. This, how
ever, is a decline of two points since
a month Ago.. Last year no change
in condition from normal of the
month before was reported. This
has been a very favorable year for
sheep and they are being moved off
of the higher ranges in excellent
condition. Delivery of contracted
lambs are getting under way and
shipments to market are making
good progress. The movement is
expected to be somewhat heavier
than last year. Large numbers of
eve lambs were held this year to
build up range fiocks while it is
quite evident that the smaller farm
flocks are increasing in numbers.
Several sections report that cattle
are being replaced for sheep quite
rapidly.

obtained, other material such as oak
or ash should be used, but is more
liable to give way under a heavy
pull. A heart-shaped ring should be
made from five-eighths round iron
rods and should follow the diagram
as to shape and dimensions in the
center. This distance between the
eveners, adjusted by the links of a
log chain, should be nc more than
just enough to permit the horses to
walk without stepping on the evener
in front of them. 1t will be found
that they can touch their noses to the
tails of horses ahead and still not in
terfere with the eveners.
cat the turns the eveners and the
chains drag on the ground, but the
horses soon learn to avoid the even
ers, dr~aw-chains and single-trees, or
they may be held up as shown in
Figure As. However, the records of
farms where these bitches have had
long usage show that this is not a
source of accident or injury to ami
mails"
! These specifications are those
which were used on the Noble farm
at Nobleford, Alberta. This Horse
Association hitch is sometimes spOk-
en- of as the double chain hitch be-
cause the 12-hOrse hitch consists OF
two six-horse string teams side by
side. BY changing the length OF the
equalizer bars a string team equaliz-
er of any length may be made.
While hickory is the best wood foI
making equalizers, it is very diff
cult to get and the ordinary farmer
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-12-04

often has to make a choice between
oak and red fir. While fir is tough,
it slivers badly. This can be partly
prevented by binding the equalizer
parts with strap iron. Equalizer
bars are not so apt to break as one
might think because the tension of
the entire equalizer is like a spring.
The advantage Of this is that any
number of horses can be worked by
changing the length of the different
equalizer bars.
In making the hitch, especially
the rear levers, it is important that
the holes of the equalizer bar be
in a straight line. If they are badly
out of line, as is possible when heavy
sticks are used as equalizer bars, a
horse may step slightly ahead and
therefore lock this bar so that he
will have practically nothing to pull

give up. This was especially true Of
colts and balky horses. Equalized
bitches have great flexibility and,
provided the team is properly bucked
back and tied in, distribute the load
equally to the shoulders of all the
horses, thus making perfect team
work, no matter how large the team
may be. With such bitches, lazy
horses cannot shirk their work nor
can the O~ver-energetic ones do more
than their share.
This team work is especially neces-
sary when a team starts it's load. Per-
fectly constructed equaliZed bitches
throw the load in a spring-like man
ner on the shoulders of all, even if a
certain horse does not start the min
ute that the leaders start. 1t would
be impossible to drive combine har-
vester teams of "a to Sc head with
two lines we're it not for the equal
lied hitch. Experienced drivers also
state as soon as teams become accus-
toned to working in an equaliZed
hitch but little disturbance occurs
in the team.
The SchandOney Hitch
The original horizontal lever type
of equalized hitch, which is the type
recommended for bunch teams, is
called the SchandOney eqUaliZeC
hitch, named after it's inventor, Peter
SchandOney Of California, who re
