Of the industry by saving a larger
percentage of the calf crop. 1t IS
evident that if the percentage of
calves raised in the range states could
be raised even from go per cent to
IS per cent straight through the re-
suit would be the same as though Is
per cent NOR breeding stock was
utilized in the operation.
There are two or three important
factors in remedying the calf loss
situation in range and pasture states,
the most important of which is main
tanning the proper type of breeding
stock and keeping it in the right con-
dition to hold down the calf loss per
centage to the minimum. Another
element which goes to the condition
Of breeding stock is the use of SIM
Elemental feeds, particularly during
years when the natural feeds are
short.
Better breeding will result n
stronger herds, more capable of pro.
ducing and sustaining a higher per-
centage Of calf production. The nse
Of supplemental feeds, when tbev arc
needed, maintaining the herds =
proper condition will tend to m0Es
an improved percentage possible.
The element Of lettering the mar.
centage of calf production is one Il
the most vital problems e~onfront;5o
the cattle industry today. wb;l.
there has been some improvsmoD.
u there is still room for more.

The same need for the practice of
economy has come about in the live
stock industry as in other lines of
production. The practice of economy
and elimination of waste has resulted
largely from the continually rising
price levels on nearly all commOdi-
ties.
In the cattle industry in days gone
by the loss among calves had not
been considered Of great importance
as there was an abundance of range
land, breeding stock and an ample
supply of beef cattle for the market
at all times. Then, too, at the lower
prices on range cattle the annual
calf loss did not present the serious
situation which it does under present
conditions.
Taking the range sections as a
general thing the calf yield runs from
so per cent to Is per cent, depending
on the condition Of sthe breeding
herds and the range. The calf yield
in so-called pasture or fenced areas
runs from so per cent to 80 per cent
and in the small farming section:
where breeding herds are confined
the yield runs around IS per cent.
From this it a be seen that Their,
is a big opportunity in the range sec
tons as well as in the fenced areas t
add large sums to the material wealtl

LEPER
WILL BE CURED
FORMER SENATOR WILLETT WILL BE
OUT IN FIVE YEARS, SAYS
LEPROSARIUM OFFICIALS

Within FIVE years, former State Sem
atOr o. q. Wfllett OF AIbertOn, former
Montana legislator who wa taken to
the government leprosarium ut Car
vile, La, suffering from the disease
which he had contracted while In the
United States army in h Philippines,
will be able to leave the institution
completely cured, according to word
received recently by DIR. Fred r. Full
sher, Senator Willett's physician for
nine years.
The treatment which Senator Willett
Is undergoing at the leprosarium is the
chaulmoogra oil treatment developed by
DIR. o. G. Denny, head OF the institution.
The treatment, it is claimed, II taken in
time. can effect complete cure OF the
dread malady.
In Willett's case. he had lost the finger
nails, the tips of his fingers. and the tips
OF his little toes. There were no facial
designations except those which will
subside with treatment. 1t is expected,
carville physicians have informeh DR..
-ulsher. that a complete cure will be
effected within the three to hve-year
period.
Senate wiIlett contracted the disease
while with the army in the Philippines.
The disease did not become noticeable
until 1917. shortly after he had COM
pleted his second term as state senator
from Mineral county.
Mrs. Wi1lett, who has been the sena-
tors constant companion during the
period Of his illness. was examined at
the leprosartum but was found t o be
free from any symptoms. Because OF the
heat. she is in the north at present.
At the last session Of the state legis-
lature, $9,170 was appropriated to repay
Senate Willett for the money expended
in maintaining his private leprosarium
On his ranch home near Alberton.

Ry MRS. NJ. L. PLASSMANN

I'm 1874 a small company of Montana
men, less than 200 in all, waged a
II successful battle against 1900 In
dams led by Sitting Bull. The story
OF his engagement is little known, yet 1t
deserves a prominent place in the his
tory Of the state. James Gourley Of
Bozeman, who was one of the men who
fought so bravely on this occasion, has
given us an account of the fight, which
is here given in his own words:
by the way, / see that John Ander-
son has his back pension OF $4,000. You
don't know him? Well, he's one Of the

were in down in the Yellowstone

WAS ever a march made into the heart or
q hostile Indian country that equaled
It. The country was alive with Sioux
Indians and yet we made that march.
losing only one man out OF l46. We
were In search of gold. In one fight we
had the best warriors OF the Sioux ma
ton pitted against us.
I'm the first place. 1t had been stated
by a man of the name OF Vernon that
he had found gold in paying quantities
in the Wolf mountains, and through the
efforts of citizens Of Bozeman and the
prospecting element that got excited
about the report that rich diggings had
been discovered, a company of 146 men
got together about three miles below
where the Bozeman tunnel Is now located
on Trail creek.
20 wagons, 100 Packhorses
THE outfit consisted Of about 20 wag-
ons n l should Judge about 100 pack
horses, and almost every one in the party
had a saddle horse. The company WAS
organized about the middle of February,
1874, by the election Of Benjamin Frank
lin Grounds as captain. an old Texan,
who had also seen service in California
in the early days of the Rogue river war.
Grounds was a born commander. Not
q man in the party ever questioned his
authority. I think it is probable that
no man ever lived who excelled him In
the qualities which he possessed as a
leader Of men; his every action showed
his absolute m over every man.
No matter o difficult the duty that
was to be done, when Grounds gave the
order. the work was lone without finch
ing and don cheerfully. In several in
stances 1t seemed to be inevitable death
: for those who were commanded to per-
form some duty, but the men never
hesitated. simply going ahead as or
dered. Grounds afterwards died in the
Black hills in the fall of 1877. The
outfit over which he had charge was
composed Of ranchmen from the Gala
tin valley. citizens of Bozeman, hunters
and trappers from the Yellowstone, and
prospectcrs and miners from the various
portions of the territory.
There were 25 or 80 young men who
