(This is the fourth of a Series of \Big Team\ Articles.) T HE DEGREE of success attained in the use of big teams in Mon- tana depends to a large extent upon the use of labor and time -saving devices in hooking up and unhook- ing the teams, a4d in feeding and caring for the horses. Farmers who. use big teams have devised many means for shortening the necessary operations and in this article a num- ber of labor and time -saving devices and methods are discussed.

As the name signifies, type of bridle. this is a combination piece made bridle. It is put on the animal when it goes out to work in the morning and not removed until night, being used as a halter (with the bit re- moved) for noon feeding. There are two outstanding types of these bri- dles ---the California type and the Flallman type. California Bridle As the name signifies, this type of the details of this The Hallman Halter Bridle Horses which have been broken to work with open bridles, as well ag some horses accustomed to work with blind bridles, can be driven by means of the Hallman combination halter bridle. Its advantage is that the halter always remains on the horse's head, the bits being held in place by means of snaps. Another ad- vantage of this halter bridle Is that, 'and right check ring of the halter. On the right side a light hame strap connects the bit ring to a strong snap which in turn attaches to the throat ;jag of the halter on the left hand side. Mr. Hallman uses this baiter bri- Ile on green colts that are being broken, as well as upon older horses. Where teams are gentle and there is no danger of a runaway, some team- sters use the bit snaps on both s'des of the halter bridle. Bits ',awe, straight -bar steel bits are best. \ointed bits are used only on hard mouthed horses. They do not stay in position as well and are hard on horses, since the horses in big teams, especially in tandem teams, are__ mere or less tied together through their bit ilb — a — BM are a little harder on the mouths of horses in big teams than in a two -horse team, because there is more or less jerking in big teams. For this reason a thick bit will be easier on the mouth. In case a horse gets a tender mouth, the connecting chain may be passed through the chin piece of the halter, as well as through the bit ring. Combination Halter Shank and Team Ties. Time is saved by using the halter tion in the team in the field hitch. They are an essential part of the time saving equipment for the big team. Some big team farmers use open throat canvas collars and permanent- ly attach them to the hairnets, so that in harnessing and unharnessing the collar goes with the hams. The illus- tration shows how Mr. Hallman at- taches an ordinary open thorat can- vas collar to the /tame. This type of collar is said to be easy on the horse's shoulders provided it does not inter- fere with the windpipe. The objec- tion is that it is not as durable be- cause the canvas wears and tears. To correct this Mr. Hallman covers the wearing part with soft leather. Ile also cuts an ordinary leather Col- lar open at the throat and sews the hames. It has been used with the best ends as illustrated. This collar is per- manently attached by wire to the of satisfaction and saves labor at harnessing and unharnessing time. Mame Fasteners The hame fastener is an import- ant time -saving feature in connec- tion with the big team harness. Fast- eners of the lever type may be ad- justed at the beginning of the season when hames and coltars are fitted to the horses, and will need no further adjustment. The ratchet type of fastener is also popular and recom- men - d - edr. — Theti - e tame fasteners save much of the time that is ordinarily used in tightening ham° straps dur- ing harnessing. They may be pur- chased from harness or hardware dealers. Small Flocks Profitable. Small flocks of sheep are becom- ing noticeable on many farms in Blaine county, according to County Arent G. W. Gustafson, who says farmers are finding that they are profitable.

The most popular chain is knownl as three -sixteenths inch \passing I link\ steel chain. This type of chain' never tangles, is reasonably light, and is stronger than rope. With the; rope halter shank, time is consumed' in tying and untying, gets wet at the water trough, is apt to unravel and in other ways is not dependable. The chain ties are made about three feet long, with a cold -shut protected spring snap (or preferably a bolt snap) at each end. They often are used as halter ties in the barn, being slipped through the manger hole, or manger ring, and snapped back in the chain for any length desired.' They are also used to snap the horses together as they are led from the barn to the water trough and field, and again to tie the horses into posi- bridle comes from California where it was developed to meet large team needs. The bridle is made heavy enough that it will not be torn when used in the stables. The \pigeon wing\ blinder does not easily catch on objects. When taken off the horse's head at night, it is not hung with the harness to the rear of the horse, which would require extra steps, but is hung on a spike driven lin case a horse has a tender mouth, he may be \tied in\ by means of the halter ring instead of the bit ring, or the halter chain may be run through the bit ring and snapped into the halter ring, thus taking tht force of heavy jerks away from the horses mouth.

For noon feeding in the barn the bridles are not taken off the horses' heads. The - bits are removed from the mouths by being unsnapped on one side. Often at time of noon feed -I ing in the barn only one horse of each pair is tied to the manger. The comes in such a way that the horse, by opening his mouth, can shift the pull to the nose piece rather than to his mouth. It is for this reason that the strap is used on the left side. On the other hand, if two straps be used, too much freedom is allowed and the bit is pulled , through the horse's mouth. This Hallman halter bridle is Children Cry for MOTHER :—.

STATE COLLEGE SETS NEW RECORD (Prom the Montana State College). T HE TOTAL registration at Mon- tana State College at the end of the first two weeks of the fall quarter was 830, an increase of al- most 20 per cent over last year. There are 111 students studying agriculture and the balance ate dis- tributed among the various science and engineering departments. The number of new students taking agri- culture this year is 48 as compared to 35 last year, an increase of 37 per cent. The increased enrollment in agri- culture is particularly gratifying to college authorities because it is look- ed upon as reflecting the general high regard which the people of the state have for the possibilities of farming And for future development of agriculture. The general increased attendance at Montana f'f\ia College is a point of significance. says President ATfred Atkinson, because of the fact that at many other state colleges in the country there have been very abrupt declines in recent years. In New York, for instance, there were 1489 students of agriculture in 1915 while last year there were but 689. In California the enrolment was 697 in 1914 and 369 last year. Many other state institutions have shown similar declines. At Montana State College the en- rollment in agriculture was 61 in 1914, and there has been a gradual, steady increase ever since, leading up to the figure of 111 for the present year. That Montana is outstanding in its support of RS State College is indica- ted by a comparison with its eastarn neighbor, North Dakota. The people there are rejoining at a ten per cent increase in attendance Ert North Da- kota State college this year. At the same time Montana hti an increase of almost 20 per cent. It is also signi- ficant that the total registration at the , North Dakoa institution` in a state with more than 100,000 more people than Montana. is 800, while at Montana, State College the total enrolment is er, Sam Bechtold, owned 27 ewes in the spring of 1925, from which he raised 39 lambs, says Mr. Gustafson. The wool sheared from these sheep totaled $217.40 and the wetber lambs were sold for $3.10.30, making a total return from sales, $427.70. In addi- tion to this, Mr. Gustafson says, Mr. Bechtold still has 16 ewe lambs left and $8 ewes and yearlings, making a total of 54 head, in his flock. 1 1 1 will reduce inflamed. swollen 'TRADE MARS RFG.0 S RAT CU.
