r MARVELOUS LAMBING.
Finest Crop For Ytere In Montane)
This Spring.
Lambing U iu full progress through'
out the state (Moutana), and the per
ccntnge of loos Is remarkably light, ac
cording to reports from the leading
sheep sections. For many years It ha
been the custom of shippers to hare
some Intubs come In February In order
to raise the product for the early mar
ket, when lambs bring fancy price.
As a general rule it Is necessary to
hare these lambs come under sheds,
and It Is often found a requisite to take
the young In nib Into the herder's cabin
until It Is strong enough to stand up
and take nourishment This season It
Is entirely a different proposition. The
weather Is quite like summer. The
sun shines all the time, and It seldom
freezes during the night
The season Is far the best sheep men
of Montana have enjoyed for decade
or more, and the percentage of lambs
saved Is little short of marrelona,
averaging upward of 100 per cent
This condition Is due of course to the
fact that twins offset more than the
deaths. It Is making the average of
the ewes' product more than one lamb.
These lambs will be very Tamable, as
In May and June they will be worta
an average of Si.
A new experiment has been tried
this season and with not a little suc
cess. This has been to feed the ewes
on alfalfa for thirty days before lamb
ing. Judging from the lamb crop. It Is
believed that this has met with the
most encouraging results, especially In
the matter of strength. If lambs en
ter the world In an enfeebled condi
tion, the danger of loss Is very great
On the other hand, born strong very
few losses are recorded.
The present winter has been remark
ably favorable to stockmen. Cattle,

sheep and horses are In excellent con
dition, and the season Is so far ad
vanced that a severe or prolonged
storm Is wholly unexpected. Even
should it come stock will be In fine
shape to weather It not having been
compelled to undergo the rigors of a
winter beforehand. Experience has
taught that because of their weakened
condition from a long and severe" win
ter stock cannot withstand the custom
ary spring blizzard; but the former
having been eliminated this year. It
seems safe to predict the banner record
so far as light losses are concerned.
Leon Shaw In Breeder's Gazette, Chi
cago. Treatment For Loco.
The results of tne loco weed when
eaten by stock are unpleasantly fa
miliar to the stockman of the plains
east of the Rocky mountains. It has
been estimated that the losses from
this source In Colorado alone have
reached the sun of a million dollars
per annum. The national bureau of
plant Industry has been taking a torn
at the loco problem, and C. D. Marsh,
expert In poison plants, reports that
it has been fonnd that locoed cattle
can in most cases be cured by a course
of treatment with strychnine, while
locoed horses can generally be cored
by a course of treatment with Fow
ler's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties.
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constipa
tion which Is almost universal among
locoed animals. It should be noted,
too, that magnesium sulphate may
serve to some extent as an antidote to
the poison.
It may be added in regard to the
question of immunity that loco poison
ing comes on in a slow and cumulative
manner, so that there is no possibility
of animals becoming Immune.
Growing Feed Crops.
Theoretically when I feed my cows
a full amount of good corn silage and
alfalfa hay my milk yield should be
satisfactory, but actually I find my
kind of cows will Increase their milk
giving If I add some cornmeal to the
bill of fare, and Increase still more If
In addition I furnish about two pounds
per day of ollmeal per cow; hence,
while I am personally very much In
favor of the farmer-dairyman growing
feed crops to the fullest extent of
proved profit endeavoring to do so my
self, yet to all I grow I never hesitate
to bring in as supplementary by pur
chase any feed needed which my cows
can use at a profit to me.
I have no manner of doubt that a ton
of clover hay, being ail one acre could
produce, is of materially less feeding
worth than a ton from an acre having
grown a three ton crop, all conditions
of cutting and curing In both cases be
ing equal. I know that when I secure
a crop of 100 bushels of corn per acre
I have more than twice as much feed
as I have If I am so unfortunate as to
pet but fifty bushels per acre. W. P.
McSparran.
Fodder Terms.
Roughage includes the coarser and
less nutritious feeds, such as hay,
straw, corn fodder, corn silage, etc.
Concentrates Include the more nutri
tious feeds, such as com, wheat bran,
cottonseed meal, etc. , . , , . .
In the face of the great scarcity of
help In many of the rural sections of
the country the girls and women In the
home are frequently of necessity called
upon to help out at busy seasons of the
year. While this la perfectly proper,
provided tbey have the time to spare
and wtille the outdoor exercise they
would get would undoubtedly be bene
ficial. It Is well to favor the young and
Immature girl and not Impose upon her.
tasks that are beyond her strength.
Often an Injury Is dor.e the child un
wittingly that may remain tor years.
The fact that the girl may be ready
and willing to help should be taken as
. reason for extra precaution.
The Reclining Posture.
We stand and sit too much, accord
ing to the views of Dr. Gelbke, ex
pressed In a lecture delivered before a
body of Berlin physicians. Chairs may
have been known to the ancients, but
they were used only on extraordinary
occasions, rersons of culture as well
as the barbarians took their meals and
their rest reclining. "The bad effects,"
says Dr. Gelbke, "of the sitting habit
have not been sufficiently spoken
about although the remarkable cures
effected by rest are well known. It Is
only reasonable that the merchant or
the professional man who sits all day
should recline or take exercise la the
evening. The American rocking chair
seems to be a practical piece of furni
ture for that purpose." In discussing
the subject Dr. Kmc he of Munich says
that to this day the primitive people
prefer the reclining to the sitting pos
ture, and the fact that tbey lie not
upon the back, but on the stomach,
accounts for the better and more sup
ple figures of these people. "Sot until
late In the middle ages," be says, "do
we find In pictures the fat human be
ing." and he thinks that the change of
posture at rest from reclining to alttfiig

"Goodr said Bob. "Which is the

"Valetudinarianism," said Tom.
"No; it's smiles, because there's a

"Oh. that's nothing!" said Tom. "I
