point of durability and an eter-

the consideration of cost. Grand

and very special occasions, but we
wear ours with a difference.
Before you are typical frocks that
in this time of remnants and special
sales can be fashioned at the cost that
hovers near the $40 mark. Combine
tons Of figured and plain silk are al
ways good. Pipings, cords, plain
bands and belts are a few of the
methods in vogue, and, be it added,
easily followed by home dressmakers
In one model plain blue silk to
match the rings on the main pattern
is used as a round yoke, as a crushed
girdle and as cuffs on the three-quar-
ter sleeves. Through crocheted rings
of blue silk cord is laced at the front
of yoke and girdle. The rest of the
frock is quite simple. A straight
band piped with blue is adjusted at
the upper edge only, and serves to
hold in the fullness of the gathered
skirt.

attractive decoration of buttons and

RAILROAD WORK
NEXT SPRING

Definite announcement that the
work OF building the northern Pacific
main line cutoff between Glendive

Elliott in Miles City recently ac-
c"rding to the Miles City lndep.n-

Der of officials OF the road passed
through Miles City en- route to the
Spokane apple show, and during a
brief stop ut that point Mr.. Elliott
made the important announcement.
Why Work Was Stopped.
The first authoritative announce

Actual construction work was conn

CORN FODDER IN
THE JUDITH BASIN

Fortunate is the section that can
aise fodder corn successfully, says
II. W. Clark. professor Of Animal
Industry Of the Montana Agriculture
al College. 1t will prove boon to
that section. The hay question on
the dry farms is Il very important
one and if corn fodder can be grown,
by all means it should be done. 1t
will solve big problem that is now
confronting the farmer and that is
holding back the developments of the
dry farms as homes. There can be
no home without milk, butter, cheese
and various kinds of meats. The
colt. calf and lamb. even come in to
make home life attractive. but these
cannot be raised without some kind
OF hay at 4 reasonable price.
In composition fodder corn is very
much the same as timothy hay. 1t
contains nearly rs much digestible
protein and fat as timothy, but con-
tains less carbohydrate, as shown by
the following table.
Protein Carbohydrates Fat

Corn fodder 2.5 34.6 H..
On dry lands raising live stock is
undoubtedly a question OF sOiling as
the pastures dry up early in the sea-
son, and in this there is no plant that
can take the place Of corn. Sheep
and cattle can be carried through the
year in this manner. Horses can be
ted corn fodder, alone, CIR with other
forage and they relish it greatly.
There is nothing harmful in it for
them and it produces both fat and
muscle, when properly blended with
other foods.
The question OF fattening steers is
big one and this can be done sue
cessfully winters, where corn fodder
and alfalfa can be grown. The climate
of the Judith Basin is ideal for this
purpose. The farmer will have to
take care OF his steers up 10 the fat
tening period. the same as he does

BROKE
His Arm By Falling Off A
Load Of Hay

Gaylord, the sixteen-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hatfield, who
reside just south of Lock, sustained a
broken arm while at work on his faith
ers farm on Saturday afternoon. Mas
ter Gaylord was riding on the top of
a load of hay which he was hauling
across a rough field. The wheels OF
the wagon suddenly dropped into a
rut in the ground and the load was
iolted, throwing the boy over the side.
He alighted on his side, breaking the
right arm below the elbow. In addi-
tion to this injury, he was badly bruis-
ed and shaken up. DR.. Yoakum of HON.
er was called to reduce the fracture
and to render other necessary surgical
attention.
