mortgage, Browne said he had told
Day the matter could be looked up at
the record office and then suggested
to him that Day could use the facili-
ties of his real estate firm.
After Day had made inquiries at
the office, Browne testified that he
asked him If he had obtained his in
formation.
DAY said he did," Browne added.
did he tell you there was a mort
gage on the property placed by
building association" asked Days
counsel.
Browne admitted so and said he had
told Day he had better find out the

event. He gave instructions to one

status of the mortgage, and added that
he thought this information was OBJ
tanned.
Asked if Day had given him any
reasons for getting the information,
Browne said he had made it clear
to him what he wanted with it, later
that evening.

Hungry HORSE Gets
Kimk I'm Its Neck
Watching Harvest

l.. Il. Rich, a rancher of the BenZien
community in Garfield county, says
that while he appreciates the fact that
the past year has bestowed upon the
ranchers of this part of Montana an
almost unparalleled harvest, still this
bOuntiful harvest has proven a not
unmitigated blessing, as it has cost
him the temporary if not permanent
loss of one of his best work horses.
This horse, which was raised as a pet
on its owners ranch, was one Of the team
used on the grain wagon at the ranch
during the recent threShing. Hearing
the swish Of the shovel as the grain was
being unloaded into the granary, the
horse became afflicted with an equine
curiosity, and turned his head to see
what was taking place at the wagon.
Upon catching sight Of the quantity Of
grain being shoveied into the granary,
his mouth began to water, he craned his
neck to get a better view Of the luscious
burden which was being rapidly trans
ferred from the wagon to the bins, and
stood in that position until the wagon
was emptied.
Again and again as the team drew
wagon load after wagon load of grain to
the granary, he stood peering back al
the undreamed Of quantities Of equine
feed, until when he was at length un-
harnessed, it was found that he had de-
veloped a permanent kink in his neck
which threatens to render him useless
as a draft animal.

According to E. ]. Gilmartin, of the
Northern Creamery at Great Falls, it
is advisable to discourage the market
ing of turkeys for Thanksgiving as
much as possible. This is due to the
turkeys being generally immatured on
account of the late, wet spring which
Killed a good number of the early
hatch birds, with the result that they
had to reset and the turkeys are so
late that they will not be matured
for Thanksgiving. Another thing
against the Thanksgiving market has
been the very fine hot weather of Oc-
tOber.
Turkeys are Of a wild disposition ano
when weather permits, their tendency i:
to roam and it is impossible to fatter
and round them off properly for market
when they are roaming. Mr.. GilmartiI
recommends that the producers Of thii
section hold their turkeys, properly fat
ten them the last couple of weeks il
November, and arrange to dress then
the first few days in December.
The outlook for prices is not as goo,
as last year. 1t seems that the high price
last year curtailed consumption with tn
result that on Oct.1 this wear there wer
twice as many turkeys left in storage a
there was a year ago. The probable re
suit OF this will be that price, will b
at least cents less than las1 yeac.
while the turkey crop l.. MontaLi
seems to be established at onay e5 uc 9
per cent Of last year, and even thoa:,
the eastern states may be little ii,,hGel
the heavier producing states seer {
have more, California expects & litsi

The most authentic estimate at II
present time on the Texas crop gives
around 1,400 cars. Some estimates 81
as high as 1900, but the conservaSfv
q fn fC
state only shipped 925, while the yes
before Texas shipped 1915 cars. Wit
this large increase in Texas and t.
storage holdings, cheaper price will /
necessary in order to move the turkC
crop satisfactorily. Texas is now ge
ting ready to market Thanksgiving bird

The prices there so far to the grove

Large County Average
In the preceding largest crop, that Of
1922, there were II counties which rail-
road shipment data shows to have each
shipped more than million bushels OF
wheat. Leading the list was Fergus with
1881 ,307 bushels and Sheridan with g.
673 1863 bushels. For the 1927 crop as
Stunning for counties having an acreage
Of winter and spring wheat Of $4,000
acres or more, an average yield equal to
the average for the state, there would
be % counties to ship more than mill
lion bushls each. These counties would
be Blaine, Chouteau, Hill, Liberty, Pom
dera, Teton, Toole, Daniels, Phillips,
Roosevelt, Sheridan, Valley, Cascade, Fer
gus, Golden Valley, Judith Basin, Daw-
son, Garfield, McCone. Prairie. Richland,
Wibaux, Gallatin, Saltwater, Yellowstone,
Big Horn, Fallon and Rosebud. In 1926,
IA counties were estimated to have pro-
duced one million or more bushels each,

twenty-five hunters, working total
of 707 days during the last month, de-
strOyed 16 stOck-killing bear, 19 bob
cats, 233 coyotes, a badger and four
skunkS in Montana, according to r.. E.

biological survey, under whose super
vision the work is being done. The
state fish and game commission and
state livestock commissions are Coop
Grating i'm the work.
In addition to the kill covered by the
above report the hunters had two coyotes
stolen from trap lines and also destroyed
21 skunks, 18 badgers, 225 magpies, 19
rattleSnakes and 56 porcupines, Of which
no parts were saved. During the S0-day
period the hunters placed e06 poisoned
bats.
Pelts taken at this time Of the year
possesses a market value, and fur sales
are held about the tenth of each month
In addition to preparing the hides Of the
animals taken, the hunters furnish theil
department with considerable biological,
data that is highly instructive. The
stomach contents Of the "varmints" art
examined and in this way the hunters
learn on what sort of feed the animals
are existing, and to a great extent art
able to determine the amount Of damagI
done. Two of the Is bears killed werr
grizzlies.
The hunters are now engaged in locat
II ing camp sites for the winter months
during which time more effort is givel
to the elimination program than at an
other period Of the year, except posstbl
the early spring, when the animals star
denning up for the breeding season.
