At h ranch OF t. Wiley King. near
Myers in Treasure county, Is an inter-
esting relic of territorial days, a tread
power threshing machine that was
shipped TO Montana by steamboat In
1880.
The thresher bears the name Little
Giant No. 2 and was manufactured by
Heebner q Sons at Lonsdale, Penn. 1t
was unloaded at Miles City and signed
over to its first owner, w. B. S. Higgins
of Pease Bottom. Mr.. Higgins and John
c.. Guy, an early sheriff OF Custer county,
drove to Miles City for the machine and
another of the same make which Mr..
Guy had purchased. They set up the
machines In Miles City and drove home
with them in time to start threshing in
the fall in 1880.
Meadow and Westbrook who owned a
ranch at Coulson had brought a thresh-
ing rig into the country a year or two
before and the first threshing at Pease
Bottom was done at the Guy ranch In the
upper Pease Bottom by them the year
previous.
Threshes Wide Area
Mr.. King purchased the outfit from
the first owner several years later. His
first season. he threshed for Hoskins and
McGirl at Huntley. Henry Firth and Ed
Dunno were other ranchers for whom he
threshed there. He moved down along
the Yellowstone to Rosebud and then up
the Rosebud to Lame Deer and then over
to the Tongue river. He then went into
the Musselshell valley to Roundup and
closed the season at the RI ranch near
Milestone.
Ii outfit cost about $500 originally.
There was a % by 26 inch separator and
q two-horse tread power. The separator
weighs about 1.400 pounds and is built
on wheels about the size Of a heavy
spring wagon. The tread power weighed
: 200 pounds.
Grain was fed over the cylinders by
one man who cut the bands with o pock-
ct knife. The straw was carried away
by a shaker and one man was required
TO pitch the straw away from the ma
chine. A crew of six men was required
for a threshing job. The machine
threshed from 400 to 600 bushels of oats
o day with a less amount OF wheat.
Two-Horse Tread
The tread power is built for two horses,
with steps for them to walk upon on
the floor, which is of hard maple. Boards
to prevent the horses jumping off are at
each side of the floor. A belt connects
the tread power and the separator. Ac-
cording to the account given by Mr..
King when the Indians saw the threshing
operations and walked over the tread
power from n end to another, they
would say, "Uh, horse race. no good"
The outfit was hauled usually with
two yoke of oxen. One horse went with
the machine and another was borrowed
from the rancher for the tread power.
The last rounds of the machine were
made in 1906, completing more thar q
quarter of a century Of service.
The grain was measured with q half
bushel measure. AS there was no tally
on the separator. Mr.. King devised one
with a board and wooden hand after the
fashion Of a clock. Holes were bored at
equal distances round the dial and one
complete revolution tailed 10 bushels by
means of pegs set In the holes. The
measure was kept in this manner up to
l 900 bushels and then transferred to an
account book.

Il. V. Ranch Claims
lit Owns COstlieSt
Horse Inn Montana

The owner of the EV ranch east Of
Sweetgrass on the Canadian border
claims that he has the most valuable
range horse In Montana The horse Is
not a purebred, weighs but 1,150
pounds, Is 16 years old and is but a
common branded range bronze. But the
owners say that during the 16 years of
the horses life, he has crawled fences
constantly and has eaten generously OF
growing wheat and other grains. He
figures hat the animal has destroyed
and eaten an average of 0ne and one
fourth acres of grain yearly.
Figuring wheat at 35 bushels to the
acre average would mount to TOO bush
els of grain wasted. During seasons when
no grain is growing, he figures the ami
NAL has eaten approximately 500 worth
of grain and hay yearly. besides pastur-
age worth s12. Cost of pumping water
monthly, salt and medicines amount to
six dollars a year. Damage to fences and
costs of repairing caused by this animal
would total five dollars annually.
Totaling the above figures over the 49,
year period, the investment in the horse
amounts to 80, 1868.

Infested wood ticks of the species

Judge Winston. in his findings declares
that there is 10 ground for such COM
plant and assesses the costs against the
plaintiffs.
The laboratory was made possible by
a 100000 appropriation by the last legis-
lature. The site was donated by the Ham
ilton chamber of m The building
is now under construction and will be
as near tick-proof and vermin proof as

can make 1t.
Judge Winston finds that the tick does
not travel any considerable distance ex-
cept by attaching itself to a host or car
rier such as cattle. horses, sheep. rodents
and human beings. Hence. the danger
Of transmitting the ticks is no greater
now to the city of Hamilton than 1t wal

The largest single days attendance
In the history Of Yellowstone park was
scored OH July 3 of this year. The
number was 3,640. The previous record,
1902, was made on July A, 1926.
Comparative figures for 1925, 1925 and
1927, at Yellowstone park. issued by the
park superintendent, Horace Albright,
show a total of los, 24o admissions for
1927, as compared with 103 500 for last

buggies, numbered 1874.
While rail visitors are more numerous
this year than last, there are not SO many
as in 1925, when 23,613 came by rail. In
that year the motor admissions num-
bered only 61,337.
The year 1927 has demolished a num-
Der Of park records. The largest number
of automobiles entering the east gate on
a single day were admitted on June 10;
there were 1886. The previous best record
was on July IL, 1926, when 305 were adj
mitted.
The largest number of motors entering
the park on a single day was on July 3
of his year, with o record of $40. The
previous record was 789 cars on July 4,

(From Montana State College,

w NTH more than 500 combine bar
\A/ vester-threshers in operation In
Wv Montana this year, with many
wheat fields ripening late and
unevenly, the possibility OF loss from
wet grain constitutes Montana's greatest
harvesting season problem, says Nj. l..
Wilson, agricultural economist at Mon
tana State college. Unless the figure IA.
which represents the maximum per cent
of moisture for safe harvesting with the
combine, is indelibly fixed In the minds
of operators of these machines, serious
losses may result, according to the econ
omist.
AS an aid to those who are using COM
bine Observation-Disclosures In avoiding loss
from premature cutting OF wheat. the
Montana extension service has issued an
emergency circular Combining Wet
Wheat in Montana" Copies may be OBJ
tanned from the Extension service, Boze-
man, or from county agricultural agents.
The circular says:
wheat that contains more than IA
per cent of moisture will heat IN the bin.
After this wheat has become musty 1t
cannot grade higher than No. 5, which
means a heavy loss TO high protein Mon
tana wheat. Wheat that is combined
above the moisture limit cannot be dried
successfully in the bin by turning. nor
by the use of lath, fence posts or other
yentilating devices. The same wheat Will
not dry out if placed in piles in the field.
Internal moisture taken through the
plant from the roots to the head is more
important than moisture from rain in
figuring the badness Of wheat for COM
bining.
Wheat with 10 per cent or more Of
immature kernels will not keep In proper
condition, so the combine operator must
know two facts before he starts his COM
bine: first, that the wheat averages under
IA per cent in its moisture content; and,
second, thai it contains less than 10 per
cent of immature kernels. Immature
wheat is even poorer than frosted wheat
for the market"
The circular points out that 1t is i'm
possible to accurately Judge the moisture
content of wheat by looking at 1t. The
only safe plan is to secure a fair sample
from the field and have it tested for
moisture and immature kernels at either
the State Grain laboratory at Bozeman,
the State Grain laboratory at Great Falls
or the Bliss laboratory at Bainville.
In gathering samples for making tests
the circular advises: Enough heads OF
wheat should be gathered from all parts

of agricultural products of the entire
state Is assured.
Every county in crop district No. l
comprising Lincoln, Lake, Flathead anc
