ARE NOT WILD
GUNS OF THE KILLERS ARE
TURNED AGAINST WELL
BRED ANIMALS

tThe article following appear
in the May issue of Northern Farm
Life and is from the versatile pei
Of II. E. Prall Of Sand Creek.
There seems to be a great dea
of misunderstanding about the so
called wild horses that u OF
the open range of Montana. JUS
why this should be so, is not ap
parent to the writer as the facts
are well known to most OF the
residents of this state.
In the usual sense of the term.
| am quite sure that there is not
a wild horse" in Montana.
Neither are there many horses in
the state that carry any of the
blood of the old mustang of the
prairies. There are, however, a
few horses in the state that have
been abandoned and forgotten by
the owners who have moved away.
In most cases, these horses carry
the original brand, but most of
their progeny have been claimed
and branded by energetic ranchers
who like to make their work
thorough and complete. There
are very few Sticks on the range
and, aside from the few abandon
ed horses, described, every horse
belongs to some one.
AS to breeding, most of the
range horses of Montana are well
bred, either draft, coach or stand
ard bred crosses. 1t is true that
the years of low prices have caus-
ed a great deal of -carelessness in
some sections and, consequently
some inbreeding, but this is true
mostly of the more remote ranges.
The condition of most of the
'knotheads' of this state is due,
not to inferior breeding, but to
successive battles against dry
summers and severe winters.
1t has been urged that these
wild horses" must go, as they are

pull through.
To some of US whose lives have
been bound up with the horses for
almost half a century, the idea of
their slaughter is repulsive, and
yet, the facts must be faced, and
what are the facts?
The production of horses has
dwindled, both on the range and
on the farm. Some work horses,
horses for service,-wiH always
be needed. Even at the present
rate of slaughter, the surplus of
horses will soon be gone. Approx
mately $4,000 were disposed of in
this manner in the past year and
the business is rapidly increasing.
The actual value of the meat in
a horses carcass is many times
the price now being paid for
horses intended for slaughter.
There a be but one deduction
from these facts; the price of hor-
SEES for this purpose will rapidly
advance and the price of horses
for service will also advance.
Do not fall into a very common
error, by thinking that the horses
now being slaughtered are merely
the culls of the range. Some of
the best horses Montana has ever
produced, have gone into the
pens in the last year.
Geldings, ready for harness, young
stock of promise, even mares with
by their side, have been
swept away by this new industry.
There is a perfect mania among
some of the stockmen to rid these
ranges of horses and stock them
with %high-priced cattle. What will

Your
MODEL Il FORD
is still
o. good cor

THE Model L Ford led the motor industry for twenty
years because of its sturdy worth, reliability and econ
omy. Those same reasons continue TO make it a good car.
AS a matter of fact, nearly one-fourth of all the auto
mobiles in use today are Model I Fords. Millions of
them can be driven two, three and even five more years
with reasonable care and proper requirements. Figures
show that the average life is seven years.
Don't sacrifice your Model I, therefore, but take it TO
the Ford dealer and have him estimate ON The cost of
putting it in Al shape. A very small expenditure may be
the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional
service.
For a Labor charge of $40 to $25 you can have your
motor and transmission completely overhauIed. This
price includes new bearings, reboring cylinders and any
other work necessary. Parts are extra.
Valves can be ground and carbon removed for So 10
81. The cost of tightening all main bearings is only SO.
The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is $3.50
to S5-rear axle assembly, $5.75 TO 81.
New universal joint will be installed for a labor charge
of IS. Brake shoes refined for SI.50. Rear spring and
perches rebushed for $1.75. The cost of overhauIing
the starting motor is So. A labor charge of approx
mately $3.50 covers the overhauling of the generator.
1t will pay you, therefore, TO see your Ford dealer
and have him put your Model T in good running order.
BY doing SO you will protect and maintain the invest
ment you have in your car and get months and years of
reliable transportation at a very low cost per mile.

will be nothing or, at least, nothing
useful.
On the other hand, suppose our
aim is high egg production. We can
choose among a number of varieties
known to be excellent layers; then
if we are careful in culling out
understood and inferior or deformed
specimens of both sexes and If we
Gull out all poor layers among the
females, we are pretty sure to de-
velop a flock that will give us eggs
in abundance.
Another law of breeding to be
reckoned with is that only healthy
and vigorous parents can be ex-
pected to have healthy and vigorous
offspring. AS applied to poultry
raising, this calls for ruthless GULL
ing out of all inferior fowls as soon
as they are old enough to srow with
certainty whether or not they meas
ure up to required standards. Hens
that are not good layers should be
discarded for two reasons; first, be-
cause they do not pay for the trou-
BILE and expense of keeping them
and, secondly, because their descend
ants will also be poor layers. The
various methods of culling as well
known and easily learned by those
who want good productive focks.
Certainly these methods should be
known and practiced by every owner
Of chickens and only the very cream

breeding.

Somewhere in the course of my
general reading, I once ran across
the statement of a well known wit
that the best thing he had ever done
was to choose the proper parents.
A very witty remark, indeed, but in
the light of its real meaning, a very
wise one. Naturally, the thought so
strikingly set forth instantly asso-
own pet hobby, the raising of high
grade thoroughbred chickens. 1
could not help thinking how much
better it would be in great many
cases if fowls could have the priv
ilege of regulating their own par
entage instead of having to depend
on those who do it for them. 1t has
always amazed me that so many
people should fail to realize the i'm
portance of properly selecting breed
ing stock as a factor in successful
poultry raising.
First of all, there is the general
law of heredity that "like begets
like" In other words, if you select |
a certain breed of fowwls in which
certain characteristics are very
strongly marked and mate only such |
birds as exhibit those characters |
tics to a decided extent, the Off |
spring should have the same charac-
teristics to approximately the same
degree as their ancestors.
Because it is so decidedly true
that like begets like, it is of para
mount Importance to select breeders
known definitely to possess certain
desired characteristics. That i'm
mediately rules out the mongrel and
the necessity of working
only with standard breed fowls. The
mongrel has no definitely known
characteristics. 1t is a mixture of
anything and everything. Conse-
Iuently it's progeny may be any
hing or nothing. Most likely, they
