BLACKFOOT LAND
of turkey raising has been the out
standing development of the poul
try industry in the state, according
to Miss H. E. Cushman, poultry
specialist for the Montana Exten
sion Service. Yearly fluctuations
occur since some seasons are more
favorable than others for turkey
production, but on the whole there
has been a marked Increase in the
number of turkeys in the state.
Equally significant is the increase in
a connty
quality of Montana turkeys. The
percentage of No. 1 birds shipped
from the state is constantly increas
ing due to greater care in breeding,
feeding, packing and shipping.
This year it is estimated that
there will be fewer turkeys In Mon
tana for fall shipment than last
year. However, there is a marked
increase in capon production in
many sections of the state 3 /nd this
is expected to bring the total vol
ume of dressed poultry to about the
same figure as last year.
Capon production is making par
ticularly rapid progress in Carbon,
Stillwater and Yellowstone counties,
according to Miss Cushman. Still
water expects to have at least a
carload to ship this year and there
will be nearly three carloads from
the three counties. Cascade, Pond
era, Teton, Chouteau, Hill, Blaine,
Phillips and other counties also
will show marked increases in ca
pon shipments. .
The interest in this specialised
form of poultry production is well
indicated by the attendance at ca
poulztn'g demonstrations conducted
in the state this summer, says the
poultry specialist. Thirty of these
demonstrations Were conducted in
the three upper Yellowstone coun
ties during June and July and more
than 300 people attended and took
part. Such demonstrations have
been held in many counties of the
state during the past three years,
and have been important lactors in
increasing capon production.
Capons fit in well with turkey
production, says Miss Cushman, for
the reason that spring capons fitted
for the January market help fill out
the final turkey shipments which
consist of turkeys left over from
the Thanksgiving and Christmas
marketing seasons. Then, too, it
happens that the first three months
of the year ordinarily are the best
months for selling capons, with
higher prices then than any other
time of the year.
The value of capons over ordin
ary birds comes partly from increas
ed weight, but mostly from increas
ed quality of meat, says Miss Cush
man. Capons sold in January us
ually weigh two pounds more than
birds not caponized and bring from
10 to 20 centa more per pound.
The first permanent settlement
on the Deleware river was planted
by the Swedes in 1638.

A stock-killing bear, 14 bob

were killed in Montana during tbe
month of July by hunters working
under the supervision of the fed
eral bureau of biological survey,
with the state livestock and game
commission co-operating, according
to J. L. Kelly, Anaconda member
of tbe state fish and game
mission. In Addition, seven coy
otes, 19 badgers and nine skunks
were killed of which no parts were
saved and 47 porcupines, 17 rattle
snakes and three magpies
destroyed.
The methods used in taking the
animals were trapping, shooting,
dogs and digging out of dens. Ow
ing to the amount of stock gracing
on the range, no poison is used
during the summer months. Of the
total animals destroyed 142 were
trapped, 34 shot, 61 killed by dogs
and 10 dug out of dens.
Less hunters were in the field dur
ing July than in any previous month.
Several were idle the entire month
while others worked only part time.
Such of the hunters as devoted their
attention to den hunting experienced
less success than in previous years,
due to the open spring which caused
the coyotes to breed early .
Prom now until the advent of
winter, the hunters will make every
effort to collect old and worthless
horses for bait. The stockmen of

'Mountain of Ice 9
Found by Workmen
on Lame Deer Road
Workmen digging shale for the
roads discovered a "mountain of
icef' about a half mile northwest
of Lame Deer. The ice is mixed ^
with shale and extends along the
north side of a hill a short distance
from the highway.
Lame Deer already has an "ice
well' which has been a Mecca for
travelers and picknicken» in recent
years. The old ice well is located
in an isolated spot about 10 miles
east of the town. It is said to have
been discovered by a prospector in
early days. It has been curbed and
maintains a frigid temperature in
the hottest weather.
M. T. Mitchell, Lame Deer miller,
noticed some of the Indians employed
on the road were eating ice in the
shale pit. Investigation disclosed
the fact that the shale they were
digging was frozen into the ice. The
extent of the ice vein is not known
but It Is thought that blasting will
prove whether the ice is general on
the hillside or confined to a small
area.
