SHERIDAN HOGS TO I
RECEIVE PREMIUM

me-
. Since the work for tes d cat
tie for tuberculosis beep
completed in Sheridan county
and it is now recognized AS a
modified Accredited Area for a
period of three years. Az hogs
shipped to Chicago and South
St. Paul for slaughter will re-
= ceive a premium of ten cents per
hundred pounds above selling
price. This premium is volun-
tarily offered by packers for the
: encouragement of tbs eradication
. of tuberculosis.
: Farmers and shippers who ex-
pect to sell hogs on the Chicago
. or st. Paul market should Sc
cure from one of the County
Commissioners or the County
Agent a certificate that will GER
tify that the hogs in the shipment
are bred and fed in a Montana
Accredited County, and have not
been exposed to the disease tu-
berculosis. The certificate must
then be signed by those farmers
3 or stockmen who consigned hogs
= for shipment.
Is The additional ten cents per
= hundred will net the shippers ap-
proximately fifteen dollars per
carload. This will mean an in
+ crease in the agricultural income
for the county of several thous-
and dollars each year.
At the present time Sheridan
and Daniels counties are the only
counties in Montana that are rec
ognized by the United States De-
partment of Animal Industry as
being Modified Accredited Coun-
ties or in other words, free from
tuberculosis.
1t may be well for the residents
of the county to know that any
one bringing cattle in to thu
= county that have not been testeC
for tuberculosis and pronounced
free from the disease by a Fed
eral or State Veterinarian is Ii
able to a $4,000 fine. If cattl
are to be brought into the coun
ty the owners should first motif,
the Livestock Sanitary Board a
Helena, who will arrange for tn
: stock to be tested free of charge
Any resident Of Sheridan Coun
ty who has cattle that have no
been tested for tuberculosis an
t pronounced free from the diseas
5 should notify the County Agent a
2 once and arrangements will b
r made to have them tested as 500
as possible.

But there is n particular interest
centerlnG in this plant that botanists
have titled Spgelia marlandica. The
marlandica part of the name is
obvious enough. except that it is not,
so far as / know, found in Maryland.
Spigelia commentaries The fame of
Adrian Spigelills, who ftourshed in
the 1600s and was perhaps the first
to write of the making of an
herbarium of pressed flowers. But
the real interest lies in the fact that
Alexander Garden of Charleston, for
whom gardenia is named, discovered
that the pink root was an effica ciOus
remedy against the hookworm and
even before the Revolution had COM
municated this to the Royal Society
