LOSS FROM BLIZZARD
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS' WORTH
OF PROPERTY 18 DESTROYED
v IN- MONTANA.
THREE HERDERS ARE DEAD
WANDER AWAY AND FREEZE TO
c, DEATH IN WORST STORM IN
& MANY YEARS.
Great Falls, Mont., May 20.—The
heaviest cattle and' sheep loss in the
history of Montana, the damage of
which will foot as high as $5,000,000,
has been caused by. the terrible snow
storm which has been raging for the
past three days. In some sections
fully ninety per cent of the sheep, on
the ranges have perished. Three herd
ers at least have wandered away in
the blinding storm and been frozen
to death.
An aged herder employed by H. H.
Wilson at Portage was lost Sunday.
Two more in the Shelby Junction
country, employed by the Floweree
Cattle company, are missing and
there is no hope that they can be
found alive. Herders have abandoned
their flocks on every hand and fled
for safety to the settlements and
ranches. Nothing like the fury of this
storm has ever before been witnessed
in Northern Montana.
Of a consignment of 600 cattle bound
lrom Havre, ail but. five were found
frozen stiff Losses are reported on
every hand and this district will feel
the effects of the losses for years.
RESEMBLED A TORNADO.
Holmen, this county. The damage
cannot be estimated, but is believed
to be heavy. No one was injured.
The storm, which was the worst in
years, struck the village shortly after
sundown. The entire roof, smokestack
and part of U\e main structure of the
Casetery,'Milnng'. cotapany -was. -tora
down and splintered. Doherty's livery
barn, a two story frame structure,
was lifted from its foundation, and a
new double brick block, just completed
and ready for occupancy, was torn
from its base and partly dismantled.
Trees were torn up by the roots and

have caused some apprehension.

of
seed flax
last few years, it is probable that
some of our more progressive
farmers have extended or thought
of extending
this principle to SEED
corn. The experiments along this
line at the Experiment Station
have been somewhat meagre, but
those that have been conducted
seem to show conclusively that
such treatment is of positive value.
But the farmer asks,
what good
will it do? Will
it kill smut? The
treatment will not kill the smut
but it will do good. If we take a
piece of bread and put it away in
A damp place,it will be covered
with mould. The .same thing
kappebs to the kernel of corn WBCVJI
put in the damp ground. THE
sprouting orn is covered with the
spores of mould which soon GER^
miaate and weaken the growth of
the growing grain. If the corii
seedling is vigorous, it may grow
fast enough to get away from thi.F
bad effects of the mould. But the
seed corn this spring is not very
strong. Very little of the EOVN
last year reached full maturity
Its germinating power is weak,
much of it will not GROW at all. IF
you have corn that is viable enough
to use for seed, treat it and
in
crease the value of yuur crop
or more per cent. 1
of the kind of seed
corn you use. Don't take any
dealer'S word
as
to its growing
qualities. Don'T plant any corn
without knowing its germinating
powers. Count out 100 kernels,
put in a pan of moist earth aiid

to grow a good crop from poor
seed than to have to plant again
after a loss of tw© weeks time.
Senqens in North Dakota are too
short for any experiment of this
kind.
I' Treatment: When treating
seed corn mix one pound of stand

0 or 45 gallons of water and treat
the seed in the same manner as io
