Did you ever run acros 81 bunc-
of girls who were madly and wild
ly enthusiastic over matinee idol
We ran across two the toher day,
and they raved. they pursued, and
they jabbered and they giggled at
the mere mention of the magic
name. They meant nothing. It's a
stage in a girls life through which
they all have to pass-just dhe same
as the army enlistment in the boz
life. They are both dangerous, but
keel sharp eye on them and they
will pull through however the p,.
tecting arm of Uncle Sam might
prove more satisfactory to dhe fond
parent than that of the theatrical
star
This little incident leads one to
think of the evolution of a girls
ideal and the contrasting steps
from sixteen to twenty-threc. After
dolls are laid aside and mud PIES
attract no longer and hair comes up
and dresses go down, then the evo-
luton begins. Did you ever know a
girl after she had gone through
the Laura Jean Libbey. the Bertha
Clay stage and after she had seen
actresses with superfluity OF paste
diamonds, who didn't want to stand
at the top of a broad staircase IN
black velvet evening gown with
diamond tiara. That's stage one.
Then she wants TO be a nurse.
She doesn't want to assist I'm opera
tions, she doesn't care particularly
about the amputations, and she ism
especially keen about being up all
night with a delirious patient. On,
dear, no. She wants to pull down tho
male patient who spends most OF
the time making love to her. She
wants to visit with the doctors and
enter into a matrimonial alliance.
That's stage two.
Then she goes wild over fratern
ties and matinee actors and football
players and her chief topic of con
yersation is Isn't he perfectly

hoped. will in turn plant windbreaks
around their farms.
The forest is very open and for the
most part contains scattering stand
OF western yellow pine timber. Along
the creek bed are found ash. box elder,
cottonwood, elm and birch. Cedar
breaks are also found on precipitous
slopes bordering the streams. West
ern yellow pine is the only merchant
able species. however, on the forest
and the average stand per acre is not
over 1000 feet. The reproduction of
pine is fairly good wherever mature
trees occur, but owing to the open
condition of the forest and the dense
growth of grass 1t is for the most part
unsatisfactory.
There is but little timber that will
be sold from the forest at the present
time, since this area is very isolated,
being surrounded on all sides by vast
plains Many homesteaders have in
the past come to this forest for tim
ber for logs to build their houses.
Since the completion of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, Billings
county is rapidly being settled, and
while stock grazing is at the present
time the most important industry, it is
very probable that farming will be-
come the most important industry
within the next few years. 1t is very
important, therefore, that the timber
which now remains should be con-
served exclusively for the use OF the
home builder.

daries of the forest. but all of the odd
sections are alienated land being
owned by the Western Land Securities
Company. This company has been
selling portions of their holdings dur
ing the past few years. Very little of
the government land within the
boundaries of the forest is suitable for
farming purposes, since it is quite
rough and broken and water is very
scarce. 1t is the country outside of
the forest which Is now being taken
up by settlers.
No sawmill operations have ever
been conducted on the area. When
the Northern Pacific railroad was be-
ing built larger number of trees
were cut for railroad ties, and together
with the logs which have been pro-
cured for house building by settlers,
this is the only use which has been
made of the timber on the forest. 1t is
understood that the logs used in the
construction of President Roosevelt's
cabin, which now stands in the state
capitol grounds at Bismarck, N. D.,
were obtained from the area now In
cluded in the Dakota national forest.
Gov. Burke of North Dakota is very
much interested in this forest and
thinks it will be of inestimable value
to the people who live in the region
where the forest is created.
Both of the new national forests. the
Ocala in Florida, and the Dakota, will
be put under administration by the
forest service as soon as possible.

be the best OF those tried, the lambs
making a gain of ia pounds per head
in IA weeks, against 28.6 pounds made
by the lot on alfalfa hay and corn. The
present experiment with 40 lambs in
each lot shows an average gain of
20.3 pounds in Ia weeks by the lambs
on native hay. oats. and oil meal. and
34.3 pounds by the lambs on alfalfa
hay and corn.
The amount of feed required was
GOT pounds of native hay. 400 pounds
of oats, and 25 pounds of oil meal for
100 pounds of gain. In the previous
pounds of oats, and Sc pounds of oil
meal were required for 100 pounds
gain.
The results of these two expert
ments Indicate that the native hay,
oats, and oil meal ration will produce
somewhat less than two-thsrds the gain
produced by alfalfa hay and corn in
the same length of time, and also re-
CURES considerably more feed to pro-
duce 100 pounds gain.
Wild sweet clover is common along

and since 1t withstands alkali well
and gives heavy tonnage of hay, it
should prove a desirable hay crop in
many sections. Stockmen commonly
believe that sweet clover Is useless
as forage plant. but cattle and sheep
will eat the growing plant If 1t is
not too large and coarse, and the ex-
pertinent here reported shows that
lambs eat the hay readily and make
good gains from 1t.
Comparing Lots and 5, we find
that the sweet clover lambs made an
average gain OF 30.7 pounds In IA
weeks, while the alfalfa lambs made
34.4 pounds gain. The former ate
