CORK SOLE SHOES
KEEP FEET DRY
Another Important Factor Is
Their Power to Absorb
Precipitation.

When buying oneself shoes for the
children cork soIes should be put IN
before fitting This, OF course, makes
II necessary TO wear a little larger
shoe than otherwise, but the benefits
that come with the cork sOles make
this a triiing objection.
II caught unprepared ina shower.
while the soles of the shoes are wet
the feet remain dry, being protected
by the cork sOies. and the children
will never have damp feet There are
few shoes that do Tot soon get humpJ

ed thickness IN the sole Of a shoe.

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS
OPEN FOR settlement.

Secretary Ballinger has issued in.
structions to throw open 1,40O, 900
acres of land in Eastern Montana to
white settlers.
This land was withdrawn about two
years ago for the purpose Of allotting
to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract
contains the very choicest lands in
Valley County and wherever farming
has been carried on, it has produced
yields Of from 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 20 bushels Of
oats and large crops of hay. alfalfa
and vegetables.
: There are over 5000 160-acre home
steads in this tract, which is con.
siderable more than the combined total

Intake Flues.

ventilatOrs should extend within a

Daipyman. The intakes should open
out neal the base of the barn and In
at the ceiling. The accompanying
illustrations show how intakes for
fresh air are built and the construc-
ton of the ventilatOr.
BY extending the ventilator close to
the floor the coolest and most witt
ated air is removed from the stable.
If the ventilator opens at the ceiling
the warmest air is permitted to
escape. which is likely to make the
barn too cold.

tenn are several inlet f1ues % to

DAIRY NOTES..

Skim milk is best when fed warm.
Common soap should never be used
on the milk utensils.
Milk should be separated when the
animal heat is still in it.
Separate the milk as quickly as you
can after drawing it from the COW.
Cows cannot produce great quaint
ties OF milk on a small supply of feed.
The dairyman has no more use for
dog days than the COW has for the
dog.
Never save a heifer from a poor
milk COW, no matter how we'll she
looks.
Always strain the milk before sep
the straining.
A cheap separator Is worse than
nom Get m that does not waste
each year more than tho original cost.
On days we would not like to be out
ourselves the calves should be shut up
in snug stalls into which the sunlight
can enter.
If calves are kept in a dark stall
they will grow sickly and weak, just
as certainly as a young plant treated
the same way.
Each cow is a problem in herself.
The successful dairyman finds out the
needs Of each cow and supplies what
is best for her.
Snug. sanitary quarters, kindly care.
a variety Of proper rations-what a
world of meaning is contained in
those few words.
Fifteen thousand cans Of milk a day
is the business done at Delphi, N. Y,
the largest point of shipment OF milk
in the United States.
Scientists tell us that six cents
worth of milk has as much nutriment
in it as Il cents worth of beefsteak
and it is much easier to digest.
The delicate system of the well,
bred dairy COW and the heavy drain
caused by the large flow Of milk make
it imperative that she be warmly
housed during cold weather.
