day afternoon for the alleged
shooting of chickens belonging to
Floyd Stern, also of the Sum-
merfield community,
Poulton is said to have stop
ped near the Stern home, and
killed one of the chicken with a

Stern was walking near his

shooting the chickens.
Poulton was taken into GUS

destruction of personal property
when he appeared before Mayor
Homer Johnson on Wednesday

for his appearance before the

IRRIGATED PASTURE can be used
to lower the cost of producing quality
beef. After following program OF
raising grass and legumes in rotation
for the last four years, we have picked
up few pointers which might be OF
value to others who are considering
a program OF this type,
The recommended ration for VIM
tering beef calves that are going back
to the range as yearlings is all the
good alfalfa hay they will eat, plus
up to two pounds of oats. Calves WIN
tered for summer fattening can be
given about one pound of grain per
hundred pounds Of body weight. The
increase in daily gain through the
winter will pay for the extra cost Of
the ration.
But more important than this is the
fact that cattle will reach a desirable
slaughter grade by the first of August
Without the extra grain through the
winter they would require an addi-
tional month or so of feeding, which
places them on the market at time
when grass fat cattle are quite plenti-
full. This would result in lower
selling price.
If they receive much above the one
pound per hundred weight before the
grazing season starts they may lose
some of the fat during the first month
on pasture. Winter feeding serves main
ly to develop larger animal rather
than as a fattening period.
A winter ration in which Is to II of
the grain is replaced with dried beet
pulp might be better than all grain.
The concentrate in the summer ration
could contain up to u beet pulp, but
any more than this along with the
green feed tends to overbalance the
conditioning effects.
If it is not too difficult to manage,
it is a little better to put the cattle

on green feed only half day at first
when the pasture greens. up in NAV.
Feeding concentrate and hay each
morning before they go to pasture re-
duces the danger of bloat. 1t also keeps
them from eating all green feed, which
might be the case if kept on pasture
"a hours day.
After a week or so the troughs can
be moved to the pasture and the feed
ing done in the fields. From this point
on. allowing the cattle to have all the
concentrate they will clean up, results
in only small increase. Feeding twice
day at this time of year is a little
better, since rain would mean some
wet grain left in the troughs.
Three or four yearlings per acre is
about the number for this type of pro
gram. but it could vary more than
this since there is a big difference in
the forage grown on various pastures.
Compared to dry lot feeding, the grass
will replace the hay and about 1s Of
the concentrate and still bring the
cattle up to a good to choice slaughter
grade by Aug. /. To overstock would
merely require more concentrate and
possibly increase the quality, while too
much pasture would require longer
feeding period and probably produce
commercial to low good slaughter
grade, with the resulting lower price.
A weaned calf can be expected to
gain from 400 to $50 pounds during an
eight-nnonth period from December to
August. This will bring the yearling
up to an 800 or 9OO-pound animal,
which will average high good to low
choice. The dressed carcass viii be
about 500 pounds, which is about the
desired weight from the butchers point
of view
Fed cattle are relatively scarce in
July and early August and will usually
bring top prices.

SEEPAGE LOSSES from irrigation
bitches can be serious problem during
years of short water supply. How such
bitches with concrete has been demon
strated by Alex Heinze, supervisor of
the Hot Springs Soil Conservation Dis
trict and rancher near Lucerne, Wyo.
Although Alexis major problem was
not the loss of the water from the ditch,
as he has an adequate supply from the
Big Horn River, the leakage from ir-
rigation bitches on an elevated dixie
caused them to slough and erode and
created constant maintenance prob
lem.
Since the completion of Boysen Dam,
the. clear, silt-free water of the Big
Horn River has intensified drainage and
seepage problems for many miles down
stream. The supervisors of the Hot
Springs Soil Conservation District were
greatly concerned with this problem
and Alex Heinze, member of the Board,
was especially interested because of
the problems he had encountered since
construction of the elevated ditch.
His first thought was to use pipe on
the dixie, but this was discarded because
of the excessive costs. He then asked
the local Soil Conservation Service
technician for advice This led to trip
to Riverton, Wyo., where he was shown
concrete lined bitches on several farms.
This greatly appealed to Alexis sense
of conservation farming. He could see
the great need for such lining on bitches
throughout the Big Horn Basin So with
no loss of time, the Soil Conservation
District Board proceeded to build a
concrete slip-form.
The slip-form is designed to place a
3-inch thickness of concrete in ditch
IS inches deep with to 1 side slopes
and 1-foot bottom. This will deliver
approximately four second feet of water
with a 3-inch free board on per cent
grade. The outlet ports may be adj
justed to line smaller ditch if so
desired
Heinze lined 2,025 linear feet on his
dixie last year. Visual inspection shows
no damage from last years freezing or
thawing. Provisions. were made for ex-
pansion joints every 10 feet

layer of rock was laid under the con-
crete. The ditch is one foot deep, two

six years I have used this ditch only

they've required no repairing. Water

and we have had no erosion problems.
later added another 400 feet to this
ditch.
Having had such good luck with my
first concrete ditch, neighbor, Holmes
McClay, and / lined another 1900 feet
of ditch down adjoining fields. This cut
in half the time required to irrigate
4O-acre field. My neighbor was able to
eliminate the use of three other main
bitches. This ditch had approximately
the same dimensions as the first and
carries 400 miners inches of water. We
plan on building another $500 feet OF
main and cross bitches.
The cost of lining our bitches with
concrete runs about SO cents a foot to
carry $50 miners inches of water, up
to about 81 foot to carry 800 to 500
miners inches. This is with a to 8
per cent grade.
These concrete-lined bitches have not
only saved water and soil. but have
saved labor and ditch maintenance ex-
penses. For best results when build

costs. We've found that about two
inches of concrete over the rocks is
sufficient.

Vernon, who neglected to note
that Rizzuto had darted toward

Then, on a hit-and-run play,

he'd be nailed if he attempted to
