Boulder Valley Hunter Kills 4 Mountain Lions ROY MURRAY BRINGS ’EM BACK DEAD Roy Murray, rancher and hunter in the Boulder valley, recently killed four mountain lions in the Elkhorn range The above picture shows him with the hides, his favorite horse and favorite and invaluable dog. Murray and his brother, Clarence, located several years ago in Boulder valley as ranchers. They had previ ously lived In British Columbia. When they moved to this section of th^ country, they took up ranching in Jefferson county, but have kept up their trapping and hunting as a side line. Travels on Horseback Their services in the latter respect are greatly valued by the sportsmen. Each Hon will average three to four elk or deer a week, according to those familiar with their depredations. The Hons, whose carcasses are shown above, had just killed two elk which had been “planted” in the vaUey by the Rocky Mountain Sportsmens association. When Murray learned of it, he im mediately set out to find them. He travels on horseback and carries a 30-30 rifle. WUliam Sweet, an active and en thusiastic Butte sportsman, had the following to say regarding the Murray brothers and their determination to keep the district free of these pred ators : Lions Powerful, Destructive “The fact that Murray kills every lion that drifts onto the Elkhorn, Crow Creek, Bull Mountain, Dry Creek and Little Boulder ranges is a godsend to the sportsmen of this locality. He es timates that one Hon wHI kill on an average of three elk or three deer each week, which would make a total of 140 deer or elk kHled in the course of a year by these four Hons. Thej are powerful, vicious and very destruc tive. “The state bounty on Hons at this time is SSO each, in addition to a bounty paid by the Taylor grazing act. Has Hunting Dog "Few people realize the dangers and hardships encountered on a Hon hunt. They inhabit the highest, most inac cessible mountain country available, where high cliffs, shale rock, faHen timber, cold, wind-swept ridges and deep crusted snow—and usual sub- COWS GIVE MILK OF PINKISH HUE; IT KEEPS SWEET DRUG RIDS STOCK OF INTERNAL PARASITES AND IS CHEAP TO USE A drug which makes cows give slow to-sour pink milk is heralded by Ag ricultural Expert C. E. Howell of Pomona, Calif., as a likely medium to rid horses—an all other domestic ani mals—of most of their internal para sites. The drug Is phenothiazine, parent substance of many dyes. Cows that eat It give pink mHk which will keep for several days in a warm room. Howell, manager of the University of California’s W. K. Kellogg Arabian horse ranch near here, said In an Interview that the drug gave promise of being an anthelmintic—a medium of destroying intestinal worms—of great value. "Experiments on our horses,” he said, “Indicate that it is efficient, easily ad ministered, non-toxic and cheap— which means that for the first time the average farmer may have a method which is not too expensive to rid his horses of the parasites that weaken them and reduce their resistance to disease.” Destroys Larvae Phenothiazine, said Howell, first was synthesized in 1885 but was not put to practical use until 1934, when it was used to destroy mosquito larvae. Dur ing the next four years it was tested successfully as an insecticide in place of poisonous pest-control drugs such as lead arsenate. In recent years, In a somewhat dif ferent recrystallized form, it was tested as an anthelmintic and found effective In treatment of sheep, swine, cattle, poultry and dogs. Phenothiazine Is a light green pow der which turns darker upon exposure to the air. It was mixed w^th feed and administered to 45 purebred Ara bian horses, including weanlings, year lings, stallions, geldings, mares with foals, barren mares and mares from 6 to 10 months along in pregnancy. "The treatment was 100 percent ef fective against strongyles — small stomach worms—the most common type of infestation,” said Howell. Effective Against Worms “It was partially effective against pin worms but apparently had no ef fects upon bots. "One of the treatment's biggest ad vantages Is Its safety," he declared. "Another is the Inexpensiveness of the treatment. One pound, enough for eight horses, costs $1.50.” Howell said he was continuing the experiments to determine whether treatments would have to be repeated annually or more or less often to keep the animals free of worms. "It appears,” he concluded, "that phenothiazine can serve a very use ful function to the horse-breeding In dustry as a safe and efficient anthel mintic for brood mares up to the 10th month of pregnancy. "Further, It has been demonstrated that It can be used in worming mares with suckling colts with no danger to the mare or foal. "To farmers and horse breeders who have tried everything else, even to harrowing pastures In an effort to sun-kill parasites on the ground, this drug looks like a real godsend." Uiucjii4.is-.il d v» □ ' zero weather —impede the hunter. It is usually necessary to camp at night without food for either horse or man, for several nights in this terrible weather, with only a campfire for company. Truly, it tests the mettle of the most seasoned hunter, very few of whom are able to stand this test. "Murray has a lion dog which he greatly values and it could not be bought at any price. It is a cross be tween an Airedale and Kentucky fox hound, with a keen nose and a great fighter. His routine of hunting these beasts is to wait for a heavy snowfall, then ride, sometimes for days, to find a track, and then the long ride until he thinks it is fresh, at which time the dogs are turned loose. Usually ft is only a short time until he hears his lead dog bark 'Treed,’ and the end of the lion’s depredations is in sight. A well-directed shot from his gun brings the lion’s career to an end. He is skinned and soon ready for the taxidermist.” In one instance a few years ago Murray followed a large male lion for seven days and nights, covering sev eral mountain ranges. The Hon had klUed four deer and elk this time. Murray finally ran him to earth In the Hadley park country, south of Boulder. Poultry ointers It would be disastrous to have fowl cholera or typhoid appear in the poul try flock just before the spring breed ing season. In addition to the mor tality that might result, there would be the inevitable loss in egg produc tion, fertlHty, and hatchability. A more rapid and effective immunity can be stimulated by vaccinating chickens with a bacterin containing killed cultures of the organisms caus ing fowl cholera and typhoid. When these are injected beneath the skin with a syringe, the fowl wIH rapidly buUd up its own immunity and thus acquire a resistance to the disease. If a laboratory diagnosis proves that fowl cholera or fowl typhoid alone ex ists In the flock, then bacterins made from these specific organisms can be obtained. The bacterin used against cholera is called Pasteurella aviclda and is named after Pasteur, who did the first work with the fowl cholera organism. The bacterin used to stimulate an immunity against fowl typhoid and paratyphoid is called Gallin arum ty phlmurlum. The bacterin containing both cholera and typhoid bacterins is known as Aviseptlcus galllnarum. Resistance to infectious diseases may be lowered after the close confinement that is forced upon the flocks during the winter months. Resistance to colds may be reduced also, and for that rea son vaccination with mixed bacterin, (Avian) chicken or turkey formula, which contains cultures of the organ isms commonly found in colds and roup will prove beneficial also. Vaccination with these protective bacterins if Inexpensive and simple in operation. For over a generation live stock producers have used bacterins of many types to protect their cattle, and poultrymen are now using bacterins to even a greater extent. The total In vestment and potential profit in a flock of chickens often is equal to the value of many herds of livestock. For that reason, vaccination is an equally profitable Investment. —® HANDY AUTO BLOCKS I carry in my car a flat block made by nailing together four thicknesses of plywood with the nails well clinched.

Montana Editorials $554 PER SECOND The Associated Press addressed a story to the mathematically minded. We would say, rather, that the story should have been aimed at the aver age mind. Only the mathematically minded can understand 17.5 billion dollars. But the average mind under stands $554 per second. That is the rate of expenditure required to spend 17.5 bllHon dollars in one year; 31,- 436,000 seconds, In other words. It is more money than one man could shovel. Of this $554 per second expenditure $262 WHI be collected in taxes and $292 raised by borrowing. If your friend says: "Walt a min ute," you can compute the cost at $33,240, but if he says, “just a second,” it means only $554. Sprinters figure they are doing pretty well when they run the 100 in 10 seconds. While 100 yards are being run at this rate, Uncle Sam is sluffing off $5,540. Tax experts have figured that out of each dollar a person earns, 25 cents is paid out in taxes In one form or another. Of course, this 25 cents is split up between federal, state and local tax coHectors. A person earning $2,000 a year would pay out about SSOO in taxes. In order to make up the difference between the $262 collected and the $292 borrowed out of the $554 spent each second, the number of persons making $2,000 a year or more would have to be more than doubled or the tax would have to be more than doubled. But the average person to whom $554 per second has real and painful mean ing perhaps is wUHng to share his share of the burden providing this na tion is made secure.—(Montana Stan dard.) Poultry Prospects Fine 'And More Profits Due After a year of cutting down of flocks because of a narrower spread than usual between feed cost and the price of eggs and poultry, the cycle has turned and one or two years of flock expansion in response to profit able feeding ratios probably He ahead. The year has started with'slightly smaller laying flocks and less young stock stHl to be sold than a year ago, while public buying power probably is 5 to 8 percent higher. Smaller supplies and stronger demand spell higher prices than a year earlier. Feed costs over the next four or five months probably will average lower than at the same time In 1940. With eggs and poultry considerably higher relative to feed costs during the l hatching season than last year, more : young chickens probably win be raised I than in 1940. If such an increase oc- I curs, It Is Hkely to be reflected in receipts of poultry in the second half of 1941 and In larger additions of pullets to laying flocks late In the year. However, with a prospect that Incomes of consumers will continue to rise, poultry production may remain more profitable than usual until well into 1942.

Clean Cows Will Put Cash in Farmers* Bank / At this time of the year special at tention is required to keep manure from accumulating on the flanks and rear quarters of milk cows. There is little pleasure in milking a dirty cow. The cows that go out in the pasture in early spring with “bark” all over the rear quarters are not .good adver tising for milk and its products. They are a walking advertisement of a care less dairyman, Clean mHk production is impossible from such a herd. Cows are easily kept clean if a Httle attention is.given from time to time during the day while working around the barn. The careful man scrapes down the platform several times a day and pulls the bedding back to present a clean bed as often as possible. It is a short job to wipe off the accidental soUlng that has taken place if it is done before It hardens. TMe gutter should have a layer of bedding placed in the bottom after cleaning to absorb moisture and prevent the taHs from getting wet. Chicken Changes Garb With Each Moulting Mrs. S. V. MiHer of Kuna, Idaho, has an unusual chicken. Mrs. MiHer had a flock of Black Minorca chickens and a few White Leghorn hens. About four years ago some speckled chickens hatched. She kept one very pretty pullet. The pullet was black with a few white specks. That fall when she molted, her new coat was made of white feathers with only a few black specks. Each year she changes exactly opposite from the color she was before molting. She is a very good layer and a curiosity. ® “SPUD” TAKEN FOR GRANTED Use of the word “spud” in referring to the potato is so common that it is taken for granted. The word had an interesting origin, and J. Robert Walker, extension editor of the Uni versity of Idaho, has checked up on its history. The word "spud," he says, is derived from the Initial letters of the name of an old dietetic society, now defunct. The name of that organiza tion was the “Society tor the Preven tion of Unwholesome Diet.” ® Read the Classified Advertisements! a COLD SEEDS r ■■iimiim t—ttm —ml la— a Raise Profitable Crops Get a large yield of fine qual ity by planting the famous GOLD SEAL SEEDS Bred for high yield and hard iness under Western growing conditions.
