the time, and those in adjoining

Water Development
Added Three Sections Of Range
To Orr disable Grazing Land
By PETE 4. TOccI e son. -Gallatin Coanty

WE HAD ABOUT three sections
of range which had no water sup
ply except for the Jefferson river,
two to three miles away. So most
Of the range was never pastured.
We investigated wells and dam
locations, but there were no posi-
bilities. We also thought several
times about a pipe line, but didn't
know if it would work. Finally we
asked the Soil Conservation serv-
ice technicians to figure how large
a pump and pipe would be required
to pump water to this range from
the Jefferson river.
Their survey showed it would
take 1000 feet of pipe to deliver
the water, and that the water
would have to be raised 376 feet
to the highest land.
We decided to put in a hydraulic
centrifugal pump driven by a 4
horsepower electric motor, and to
put in two tanks: One at the end
Of the pipe and one tank and outlet
about half way along the pipe to
serve that part of the range, and
also to eliminate having to pump
all the water the full length of the
pipe. We put in a valve and float
arrangement on the first tank so
when it is filled, the water would
be pumped into the upper tank.
The pump runs about an hour or
hour and a half each day to provide
the water that is needed, and we
plan to put time control on the
motor to make pumping automatic.
The pipeline itself is fitted with
outlets at all the low places SO il
can be drained in cold weather.

ton district and SCS technicians

We. believe this watering project
is one of the best things that ever
happened to this range. 1t will pay
for itself in increased pounds of
beef in a short time. Our cattle are
now on range that could be grazed
only in early spring or late fall be-
fore we put in the pipeline and
tanks. We believe the whole system
is also important as conservation
practice, since it allows US to get
better use of our range.

Wells Improve
Range Use
By DEL LICHTENBERG
Madison County

EARLY LAST summer We real
lied that two of our summer pas
lures were not being utilized pro-
perly because of stock water condi-
tons. Unfortunately, the best grass
in these pastures was in an area
where water was problem so we
felt the solution would be to drill
a good well.
We employed a reputable driIler
and, working with the Soil Con-
servation service personnel here,
we decided on the location which
would make it possible to water
the stock in two pastures. Before
making the final decision on the
location, however, our Sos adviser
had a geologist from Omaha check
the area for the location in which
we would most likely find water.
We then drilled II feet and found
excellent water that stood some Is
feet in the well. We put in a g.
inch casing which makes it possible
for US to pump large volume of
water either with a wind mill or a
gas engine.
We decided since the success of
that well that we should drill some
wells in our winter pastures. We
expect to make two or three loca-
tons this summer so our cattle
will need to walk a minimum dis
lance to get water In the winter.
believe that other ranchers
could gain a great deal by the use
of wells placed properly through
out pasture. The Sos has been
the best help for us in locating
wells. We drilled IS when we were
in Colorado-all with the aid Of
the Soil Conservation service-anc
everyone a ''pumper." With them
we got complete utilization of ON
pastures because the cattle didn'
bunch up around the water hole
as they did when there were onl.
one or two in a pasture.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-09-01

Some IS years ago we moved
from the east into the Little Bitter
root valley IN Sanders county and
started a small herd of range cattle
with stock picked up here and
there. AS so often happens in such
cases, we picked up number of
diseases along with the cattle.
The most serious of these diseases
were tuberculosis and brucellosis.
The state and federal test and
slaughter program eliminated the
tuberculosis be fore it had done
much damage, but the brucellosis
cost US between Is and 40 percent
of our calf crop for three years,
with lighter losses at other times.
At that time, the calf vaccination
program had not started and,
among beef men at least, the COM
mon practice was either to sell the
aborting cows or just let the disease
run its course until the herd de-
veloped natural immunity. The
test and slaughter procedure soon
became the standard thing among
dairymen, especially those selling
whole milk, but it was far from
satisfactory since, at that time, tests
were often not too reliable as in
dicators. Also, unl.e SIS extremely
careful sanitary measures were
taken, reinfection was very COM
mon.
About six years ago we had a
heavy outbreak of brucellosis in our
herd, as did number of our neigh
bors. By this time. vaccination Of
heifer calves was being recon-
mended by our extension service
and the state veterinarians as q
brucellosis preventative.
We brought the problem up as .
community service project in oul
local Oranges and the Oranges
with the aid of the extension serv
ice, gave considerable publicity tt
the idea of vaccinating calves.
Lists were made up of thos,
wishing to have calves vaccinatec
and arrangements were made t,
