GAME IN FLATHEAD AREA
REPORTED NEEDING SAIL

Elk and other big game animals IN
the Flathead national forest, south of
Glacier park, are suffering severely
from lack of salt, Walter G. Nye, sec
rotary of the Dude Ranchers' associa-
ton, reported after returning from a
nine-day pack trip through the prirni-
tive area with forest officials.
Natural salt ticks in the area are ex-
hausted and as a result the vitality of
the elk herd has been lowered to the
point where the animals are unusually
susceptible to disease and are unable
to get in good condition for the diff
cult winter season.
About 10 tons Of salt, costing about
$500, are needed to supply the animals
this year, Nye said, but the forest serv-
ice has no funds for this purpose. He
said he had been informed that If the
salt can be provided through some
other agency the forest service viii dis

SHEEPMAN
DIES AT HIS RANCH

A sudden heart attack caused the
death Of Marcus Mckay, 87-year-old
early-day eastern Montana sheepman
and rancher, at his ranch home eight
miles north of Roberts.
Mr.. Mckay was walking In his fields
at the time of the attack and died a
half hour after being stricken. Heat
prostration may have q1ickened death,
his physician said.
The Carbon county sheepman came
to Montana in 1896 and had resided
on his ranch near Roberts since that
time.
Born In Scotland, June /, 1851, he
came TO the United States when he
swas 10 years old, residing first in
Chicago where he was engaged IN the
building business until coming to this
state to take up the homestead on
Red Lodge creek.
He was first married In Chicago in
1889 to Miss Jennie Iverach. She died
there In 1892. Mr.. Mckay was married
again to Miss Alice McClurg at Red
Lodge in 1903. She died In 1908.

Butte's No. Newshound
Now Mongrel Named Bobby

since the death Of Brownie 9 few
months ago, Bobby has become Butte 5
No. newshound. Bobby, q brown
terTier-lik mongrel, is q resident Of
Main street, usually between Broadway
and Park street. No one knows where
he came from, or why. he has been
around about two years
His best friend he quickly realized
was Bill Mckenzie, who sells news
papers. It was Bill who knew All the
quick lunch counters where q well-be-
haved dog might get anything any dog
would want TO eat. It was Bill on cold
winter nights, who knew where the
warm radiators were, and how to get
next to them without being kicked
away either. Bill had a lot of friends,
too. and they all quickly became Bob
by's friends as well.
NOW that the hot weather-the dog
day seasons at its height, Bobby
follows Bin to the coolest spots. Some
times he even gets bit OF Ice cream
from passerby. He has learned to
drink from the public fountains at
Park and Main streets and Broadway
and Main. Bill didn't teach him that
he just learned; learning that seems
TO be the heritage Of Buttes No. news
hound, whoever he may be.
Bobby appreciates the treatment Bill
has given him, and TO show it he guards
Bits bundle of papers with his life. If
you buy a paper, that's okay. But try
to steal one when Bill Is away and
Bobby viii fly at you in q trice. For
Bobby doesn't go half way. He likes
Bill and he'll risk his life in any sort
Of fight to prove it.
Bobby's predecessor was Brownie, a
little brown mongrel that belonged to
Frank Erickson, who sells papers at
Broadway and Main street. Brownie
was killed by passing automobile last
spring, after a long term of faithful
service to his master.
And before Brownie there was Dyna-
mite. He was really the most spec
tacular dog Butte had ever known. He
went to every fire. He rode In the
police patrol when the cops raided
places. He rode on the street cars and
went to the Gardens every Childrens
day. Dynamite was part collie and
part who-knowS-wha (all the smart
kinds mixed maybe).
He belonged to old Blind Bob, who
sold papers on the northwest corner
of Park and Main streets. After Bob
died, someone took Dynamite to CAL
ifornia-to give him care" He died
there, yearning for the thrill Of the
fire truck, the patrol wagons and the
street car. He yearned for the people
too, and many Of the people even today
speak admiringly and affectionately Of |
Dynamite, although he's been dead |
many years.

Farmers Of Lewis and Clark
county who made a tour Of the
P0wer-D utton soil conservation
project, saw many interesting
farming practices which could, and
eventually win be, adopted in
Lewis and Clark and BrOadwater
counties, County Agent w. o. Zirn-
stein said.
The tour is an annual affair ar
ranged by the county agents office to
give farmers Of the two counties an
opportunity to see what modern prac-
tices are being instituted on the Power
Dutton project from year to year.
Many New Ideas
This year those making the tour
saw examples of contour stripping, soil
saving dams, sunflower and caragana
hedges to prevent wind erosion, stock
farm machinery.
Contour stripping" Mr.. zirnstein
said, has limited adaptability TO our
area because of our irregular fields,
but there is still considerable acre
age on which the practice would save
soil and water"
Contour burrows and terracing help
in utilizing water on grassland slopes
next to cultivated fields and also TO
spread water over the crop land with
out soil washing, Mr.. Zirnsteln said.
Soil saving dams in gllllies or where
low spots in the field may erode into
gullies Is a practice that has wide
adaptation, the county agent pointed
out. The principle Of construction OF
this type of dam is to let water seep
through rock dam, yet holding the
soil and silt.
''This type Of work can be done at
no cash cost because rocks can usually
be found nearby to put in this type of
DAM" Mr.. zirnstein said.
Hedges Are Good
A new thought in preventing soil
erosion from wind and water is the
planting of caragana and sunflower
hedges, he said. They are spaced so
as not to appreciably affect the work
ing of a field with large machinery
but are effective in preventing strong
winds from getting wide sweep at
the field.
Reservoirs to hold stock or irriga-
ton water and dams to automatically
spread flood water can be used TO adj
vantage on many ranches In Lewis
and Clark and BroadWater counties, /
Mr. zirnstein declared.
The farmers also saw, during their
tour, the definite results obtained |
Wncn crested WQeaJgTaSS was planted
on summerfallow and on crop land
stubble. Several stands Of crested |
Montana's newest hay
crop, were seen on the tour.
The noble blade" pillow, which has
possibilities of being used in place Of |
3 one-way or gold digger" type pillow
was seen at the Henry Sheffel ranch !
near Great Falls.
Other Equipment
Wheat producers should find 1t Of |
interest to watch the results obtained
from the use Of this machine which
should be available generally by 1899
)r $780," Mr. Zirnstein said.
Other types of farm equipment seen
It the Power-Dutton project included
/ narrow type OF shovel or duckfoot
veeder, q duckfoot weeder with lister
novels attached and q reconstructed
liSc pillow, with notches cut out of the
'lades to establish natural soil barriers
n basin listing.
There Is no doubt but that many
oil and water saving practices viii be
Iut into use in the next few years be-
ause soil and water are farmers most
resources" Mr.. zirnstein
