Why then should Bighorn sheep
with the whole Rocky mountain
system to range over, become para
Sited?
In Glacier park in the 20s the
sheep wer fed hay, beginning in
early winter. The sheep did nc
rustling for feed, never left the feed
grounds, and losses from these para
sites were very heavy. The feeding
was stopped, the sheep compelled to
scatter and hunt their own feed, and
losses almost disappeared, but not
quite. The $64 question is still I'M
answered.
We have no records on the condi-
ton of the Bighorn of 100 years ago
to help us in our speculations and
t%heorizing, and these ups and downs
of animal populations owe a long
period of time. Possibly our great
grand children will be able to record
the complete passing of the Big
horn, or will see the rebuilding of
its numbers to their normal posi-
ton among our big game species.

kept clean and an antiseptic used,
to prevent infections, in any kind of
an operation or livestock.)
Paste or Spoon
Many stockmen are dehorning at
an earlier age. Some use a paste on
calves, one day to two weeks old,
but in large herds this requires a lot
of time, and care must be taken that
the paste does not get on any other
spot excepting where the horn will
appear. The dehorning spoon has
been and is being used very eff
fectively. A new tool has been de-
veloped called a dehorning tube,
which can be used at branding time
and its use is simple and effective.
The tube is an improvement over
the spoon, as there is less chance
of leaving part of the horn which
might grow again. The tubes come
in varied sizes and a set of four
will do the job on most sizes of
spring calves. The tube fits over the
horn and should include a ring of
skin around the horn. The tube is
then twisted me way and then the
other cutting the skin through from
Is to "a of an inch deep. After the
skin has been cut around the horn,
turn the tube at an angle and push
until the button comes out. AS with
the saw or d%ehorning spoon, tubes
should be kept sharp to do the best
job.
This method of dehorning has
been used for a number of years
by some stockmen, and it is found
to be practical and easily done. 1t
has been widely used in Wyoming
and is recommended by many stock
men there. In Montana, stockmen,
in many parts of the state, have
used this method the past two or
three years and have found it pref
cradle to other methods.

When and How to DehOrn
Tube Method Is Proving Popular
By F. A. RALSTON, Extension Livestock Specialist

ONE OF THE ANNUAL jobs of
the modern stockman is the removal
of horns from cattle.
In the days of the open range,
horns were a necessity as a protec-
ton against wolves and other pre-
dators. Practically all range cattle
were horned and there were no OBJ
jections or penalties from buyers.
Today most of the cattle which
reach the market are without horns,
either natural polled or dehorned.
Feeders know these cattle do better
in the feed lots and are easier ham
died. More cattle can be loaded per
car and there is less bruising and
damage than with horned cattle.
From the producer to the slaughter
er, it is realized that dehorned cat
tie + more profitable than those
with horns.
The problem then is-"When is
the best time to remove horns and
what is the best method?"
Harder on Older Calves
A few years ago, most commercial
cattlemen dehorned in the fall after
weaving or the next spring as year
lings. This is satisfactory and leaves
a nice looking head if properly done.
1t is harder on the animal than
when they are younger, and there
is more danger of injury as the
horns have then become part of the
skull, the. blood vessels are larger
and there is shrinkage from loss of
blood and shock. If dehorning is
done at this time, the use of a saw
is less severe on the animal and
usually leaves a cleaner head as
there are no crushed bones.
1t is advisable to saw from the
bottom up. The saw should be kept
well sharpened and in a bucket of
cold water, with a mild antiseptic,
when not in use. (Tools should be

Blackleg Vaccination
Method Approved

A NEW METHOD used in VAGINA
ton of cattle for blackleg has re-
ceived support from the Wyoming
agricultural experiment station.
The station reported that combin-
ing other vaccination procedure with
that for blackleg disease is based on
good precedent and does not reduce
the immunity produced by blackleg
vaccine alone.
The procedure is one in which
stockmen have used vaccine either
for one of the diseases resembling
blackleg or for shipping fever in
combination with that for blackleg.

Attention Called to Law
On Beef Storage

FREEZER LOCKER operators
have given stockmen of the state
good support in enforcement of the
law aimed at checking disposal of
stolen beef and veal, according to
Ralph Miracle, executive officer,
Montana livestock commission, but
in some localities there still exists
some misunderstanding regarding
the nature and application of the
law.
Miracle called particular attention
to the provisions of a section which
was added to the existing law by the
last legislature. This law is designed
to protect loss by stock growers
from rustlers, yet recognizing the
right of the stock raiser to kill beef
and veal for his own use. Basically
the law requires that ample proof
of ownership shall be preserved at
all times. 1t is intended to prevent
the hiding of illegal or stolen meat
in storage lockers and provides fines
for violations.
Under its provisions, locker plant
operators are directed to require the
following information from any per-
son wishing to process or store beef
or veal:
L. The weight and kind of meat.
2. The date of processing or stor-
age.
3. The right of ownership of the
meat to be processed or stored, as
shown by a sheriff's stamp, bill of
sale or other legal means of identi-
fication.
4. Name and address of the person
from whom purchased or acquired.
To comply with the law, the per-
son slaughtering the animal should
have the carcass and its complete
hide, including the head, inspected
by a sheriff or deputy. The officer
will, if the animal is legally owned,
issue a certificate, stamp the meat
and tag the hide. The hide must not
be destroyed or sold until the neces-
sary official record has been made.
The law also provides for licens-
ing of any person who engages in
the business of owning, operating OF
offering the services of a refrigerator
locker or lockers. He is required to
keep a record of beef and veal stored
in his plant, and these records are
subject to inspection by enforcement
officers.
In the event that a carcass or por-
ton of n is not properly stamped
or tagged, the operator shall require
a declaration to be made and signed
showing authority to the carcass OF
the portion.

Cheese Production Drops.
The Associated Press, in its weekly
food price survey, reported that the
butter price decrease, and similar
drop in some egg prices, is general
throughout the Nation. 1t pointed
out that the raw materials for mar
garine also have been declining,
foreshadowing lower prices for that
spread.
Cheese production dropped and
prices rose while -four production
increased during the week and prices
eased.
The price of beef steers continued
to offer little hope for lower meat
costs in the rear future. The steer
prices reached another all-time high
at Chicago.
Some packers attending the an
nual meeting of the American Meat
Institute in New York said there
should be seasonal drop in meat
prices in 80 to go days, drop which
might mean up to 40 per cent in
prices.
Others Less Hopeful.
But others said the cheaper corn
resulting from this years bountiful
harvest could not be turned into
cheaper steak in much less than two
years although it could mean cheap
er pork chops in year or less.

present tension and uncertainty.
Trade between nations must be

cations cannot take the place OF
national and personal effort or of

Gen. Marshall said. international
action cannot replace self-help, nor
can we move toward general CO.
operation without maximum OF
mutual help among close neighbors.
The Secretary obviously referred
to ERP and Western Europe's efforts
to federate.
Early Peace Pacts Sought.
He called for early peace settle
ments with Japan and Germany so
that those nations may exist as
democratic and peaceful nations
subject to safeguards against the
revival of military or economic
means of aggression and so they
may, in due course, demonstrate
their qualification for admission to
membership in the United Nations. .
In Austria" he said, "our aim is
restoration of it's political and eco
nomic freedom within its 1887 from
tiers and it's immediate admission
as member of the United Nations" "
! Gen. Marshall advocated admls-
sion to the United Nations Of Israel
and Trans-Jordan, two combatants
in the Palestine war.
The United States, he said, "fa-
vors" a Palestine free from strife
and the threat of strife, with both
Jews and Arabs assured of the
peaceful development envisaged by
the actions of the General Assembly
and the Security Council.
Proposals on Palestine.
Two days ago Gen. Marshall in
dorsed Count Folke Bernadotte's
report on Palestine. Today Gen.
Marshall also advocated:
l. Early rehabilitation Of troops
in Palestine to permit a return to
normal, peave-time conditions there.
2. THE repatriation of refugees
who wish to return and live in peace
with their neighbors."
3. Economic aid to the Jews and
Arabs to restore and strengthen
their economic well-being."
Then, turning to other sections OF
the world, Gen. Marshall demanded
unified, independent Korea, with
membership in the United Nations,
and that Greece be made secure
from aggressive and unlawful inter-
ference from without"
Indonesia Peace Asked.
He asked "a negotiated settlement
without further bloodshed in In
donesia," where the Indonesian Re-
public and the Netherlands East
Indies government are at odds.
Gen. Marshall also called for
adoption of an international system
for the control of atomic energy
and a progressive reduction of
ornaments under an adequate and
dependable guaranty against viola
ton"
If these world problems are
solved, he said. new hope would
arise among men and new conf
dence among the nations of the
world
No country with such foreign
policy, he said, can be held to be
seeking war. or imperialist eXpan-
sion, or disorder and strife"
L. n. Work Hampered.
In an obvious reference to the
Soviet-led Eastern European bloc in
the Assembly, Gen. Marshall said
the work of the United Nations had
been seriously hampered by the
refusal of a group of nations to
