Livestock Will Help
Solve Range Cattle Problem

The figures are more striking
when considered in the light of cost
of operation. Under the pasture
breeding system the operating cost
per calf was S21.9S, while on the Op-
en- range the cost per calf was $28.78.
This difference in cost of production,
according to Mr.. Waddell, is suffi-
cient to swing ranch operations to
the profit side of the ledger.
The survey shows that in 1922 the
majority of cattlemen lost money. A
study of II prairie ranches and "a
mountain ranches was made to de-
teTmine the average cost Of raising a
35O-pOund calf to weaving time. On
the prairie ranch the average cost
was S27.98 per head and the average
selling price was $21.50, making a.
loss of SEAS per h e a d. On t e
mountain ranches the average cost
of producing a calf was $31.68 and
the average selling price was SIS,
making a loss of S6.6S per head. On
the prairie ranches the average calf
crop was SO per cent and on the
mountain ranches the average calf
crop was 56.7.
An analysis of the costs of Operat-
ing the different ranches shows that
the interest on grazing land and cat
tie was the largest single item, being
1916 per cent of the total cost on
prairie ranches and 36.1 per cent of
the total on mountain ranches. De-
probation of the breeding herd and
| equipment accounted for 2O.2 per
cent of the total cost on prairie
ranches and 1873 per cent of the total
on mountain ranches. Winter feed
was 1912 per cent Of the total on the
prairie ranches and 22.6 per cent of
total on mountain ranches. Hired and
family labor was ia per cent on the
prairie ranches and III per cent on
the mountain ranches. Death losses
accounted for 9.5 per cent of the
costs on prairie ranches and five per
cent on the mountain ranches. Taxes
on the land and cattle represented
SIS per cent on the prairie ranches
and 3.S per cent on the mountain
ranches. Miscellaneous costs repre-
scented SO per cent of the total costs
on prairie ranches and 40 per cent
on the mountain ranches.
One of the best means of increas-
ing returns is in the improvement Of
the stock, says Mr.. WaddeIl. More
and more cast-Off cattle from dairy
herds are reaching the beef markets
creating low prices for poorer grades
Inferior beef stock from the ranges
must compete with dairy stock OF
the market and consequently prices
often are below the profitable point
On the other hand, better bred stool
with good bone and feeding capacit!
is given a higher classification at thu
market which removes it from com
petition with dairy stock. At tn
same time young stock of this char
acter is attractive to feeders and tn
competition between packers AM
feeders creates a favorable marke
for the producer.

Residents
Pray for Rain and
Plea Us Answered

People of the Rapelje cOmmun-
ity, So miles northwest of Billings
on a branch line of the Northern
Pacific, are thoroughly sold on
the efficiency of a prayer as the re-
suit of a general rain which start
ed falling throughout that section
a few days ago. One evening the
farmers of the territory surround
ing Rapelje gathered with citizens
of the town in mass meeting to in
woke divine aid in securing rain.
Business houses of the city were
closed during the prayer meeting
and several hundred people of the
community participated in the SER
vice. Shortly after the town aw-
akened the next morning rain
started falling, at first a sprinkle
and then a fall of some cOnse-
quence which continued through
the day.

w vHILE cattle prices have shown
NN/ an encouraging improvement
w in the last two years, in many
cases returns are still too low to
make beef production profitable on
many of MOntana's ranches. Accord
ing to r. L. Waddell, livestock spec
ialist for the Montana Extension Ser
vice. the chief concern of the cattle
men in the state at the present time
is to increase returns by securing a
higher calf crop percentage and to
improve the quality of the stock sent
to market. Costs, such as taxes, land
rental. interest and investment, labor,
grazing fees, transportation, ETC., are
more or less fixed and cannot be
changed materially.
In calling attention to the posi-
bilities of increasing the calf crop by
proper management of the breeding
herd. Mr.. Waddeu cites figures OBJ
tanned in a survey conducted in the
mountain areas of Colorado, where
conditions are similar to those found
in the mountain valleys of Montana.
This survey was conducted by the I'm
tied States Department of Agricul-
ture in 1922. but Mr.. WaddeIl points
out that the main factors in operating
costs have changed little since that
time and that the returns for beef
cattle have not yet increased suffi-
GENTLY to relieve the cattleman OF
his economic difficulties.
The Colorado survey included "a
mountain ranches and it was found
that on seven of the ranches where
controlled pasture breeding was prac-
ticed the average calf crop was 72.7
per cent, while the average calf crOI
on II ranches where the breeding
was allowed to run on the open
range, was but SOL per cent. Like.
wise, under Centralized breeding con.
ditions, the average death loss among
COWS was 1.55 per cent, and of bulls
Is per cent. On the open range the
loss in COWS was 2.72 per cent and il
bulls, 6.5 per cent.

RULES GOVERNING
CULTIVATION
From the Montana State College.

(FrOm the Montana State COIlege)
AEAY 5th to goth is the proper
IW| time to plant corn in Montana
4V4 under ordinary conditions, SAYS
A. J. Ogaard, extension agrOnomist
at Montana State college, discussing
the subject, Corn Growing in Mon
tana." Corn adapted to local condi-
tiOns in the state will stand a little
frost and the agrOnOmist advises that
it is better to take a little risk than
to delay the planning too long. On
the other hand, there is no advantage
in planting before soil has warmed
up sufficiently for proper germina-
ton and plant growth.
According to Mr.. Ogaard: Corn
may be planted in several ways:
by drilling, c~heck-rOwing or listing. It
will be found easier to keen the
fields free from weeds if the check
row system is used so that the fields
may be cultivated in both directions
Two or three kernals, of corn in hills
AZ inches apart will give a good
stand. At this rate of planting one
bushel of Orn will plant from seven
to nine acres. Five quarts will plant
one acre. If the corn is planted in
drilled rows, the kernels should be
placed II to Is inches aaprt. Plant
ing may be done with a regular plant
er, a grain drill or a hand planter.
'The depth Of planting will vary
with conditions. In a wet, cool sea-
son, shallow planting is advisable. If
the soil is light, or the spring quite
warm and dry, deeper planting is
preferred. A good rule is to plant
deep enough to get the seed into wet

Pie crust in which half a teaspoon of

There is no cook book rule for

to keep the soil mellow and to aerate
