Helena, Jan. 15.-In the SEN
ate this morning, before the
joint session, the bill pro-
vidng for the extension of the right
of suffrage to women was reported
upon favcrably by The judiciary com
mittee.
On motion of Duncan the senate
then went into committee of the whole
and recommended the bill for passage.
When the senate reconvened, however,
Donlan, Missoula, remarked that the
senate had been bit hasty and had
not followed the regular procedure,
which, he said might affect the valid
ity of the measure. The bill was ac-
cordingly referred to the printing
committee to be printed before it is
placed on general order.
However, it's passage is practically
assured
Senate joint resolution No. intro
duced by Edwards and providing for
an investigation into the alleged dis
elimination in rates of shipments of
wheat to eastern markets, was re-
ceived back from the house, amended
so as to provide for an investigation
on fruit and all farm products, and
directing the investigators to report
back within 80 days. Donlan moved
the amendments be concurred in. The
[ motion was carried, and the amend
| ments adopted.

male calves are hardly worth raising.
Yet there are other breeds OF cattle as.
for instance, the shorthorn. that are prac-
tically as good mixers as the Jersey, and
which. at the same time, are excellent
types of beef cattle. II the farmers Of
the corn belt could be induced to keep
shorthorns and develop each a small herd
Of beef stock, a vast amount Of good
would be done toward supplying beef
for the future. If these same farmers
could likewise be induced to buy the
dairyman's calves from him and bring
them to maturity on the farm another
source of meat supply would be developed
and the manure of these cattle would
make over the depleted farms throughout
a great area.
Then there is the final. tragic chapter
in the conspiracy Of circumstances that
has been making toward the determination
Of the beef animal Of the United States.
The prices offered for meat have been
such that the dairyman, the farmer and
even the stock raiser have been able to
sell their calves when they were from two
to four months of age and make a hand
some profit This profit offering, there
seemed no reason why he should hold
on to these animals for one or two or
three years with the chance of making
little more or with the chance Of loss.

my life. do not believe that the orator
is born rather than self-made. Birth
is but the smallest part of his equip

study, hard work and practice. You
have got to know what you are talk
Ing about and you must mean what
you cannot tell it. and if you do not
believe it and feel it in your heart
you cannot make anybody else feel or

clearly in order to have men under

statements you need conciseness of
statements: that is. of saying much in
a few words"
/ here asked whether originality was
not a prime essential in speaking. saying
that man must have new ideas in order
to impress the public.
We'll, as to that replied Mr.. Bryan,
there are not many ideas that we of the
present time can claim as absolutely our

dollars q year, although during his last
days he was so poor he had to sell his

sississippi valley the raising of cattle for
beef fell somewhat into decay during the
days Of the cheap production of stock on
grown more cheaply on the outside than
on the high priced farms. Many cattle
were shipped into the corn belt states
for fattening but the raising of beef
cattle was incidental The farmers of
those states are still combing the west
and south for feeders but have not gone
back to the actual growing Of beef cattle.
Dairying has developed in those states,
and there are great numbers Of dairy
cattle. The business Of running a dairy
farm is among the most strenuous and ex-
acting of callings. 1t requires long hours
Of work every day in the year. The OBJ
ject In the dairyman's mind is always the
production of milk He has not time to
pay attention to the possibilities Of grow
ing beef cattle as a by-product. So the
dairy herds of the best states in the
nation have neglected an opportunity.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-08-31

The calves of these herds have often
been knocked in the head Others have
been fed for a short time and disposed
of as veal. Some few have been bought
and grown to maturity For any Of these
purposes no consideration has been given
to the breeds of dairy cows with the idea
of developing an animal that would be
good mixer and at the same time produce
a calf that would make good beef
steer.

Particularly would this latter idea be OF
Importance among that great mass Of the
farming population which keeps from one
to twenty cows, supplies the family with
milk and butter and sells milk to the
creamers. These farmers may keep Jer-
sey cows which produce an excellent
quality Of milk. Yet the Jersey Is the
poorest meat producer of them all. The

pleted its grass that his business in COM
parison with earlier times was poor He
did not appreciate his advantages and
rather welcomed the change. The home
steader broke up the vast ranges. The
prices of beef soon began to go up. Buy
ers have, during the last decade, gone
into the cattle country and offered such
prices for live stock that the westerner
thing. The cattleman thought he was
getting fancy price and that he could
replace his stock. When he came to
buy there was nothing for SALE His
ranges are, in many cases, now growing
grass that there is no creature to eat.
All those states east of Texas and south
of Kentucky have not been generally re-
garded as cattle states. There has been
present in them constantly the So-called
Texas tick, bearer OF fever that means
death to stock not immune to 1t. Cattle
shipped in from the north are likely to
die from this fever. The native cattle
are immune and the government is grad
ually clearing larger and larger areas Of
the tick and making these regions safe
for all live stock from any quarter.
But the native cattle are immune. They
are therefore very valuable to the region
as a foundation upon which to develop
larger herds Of likewise immune cattle
Throughout the great area the farmers
own small herds and the aggregate Is
large. The region has great stock-raising
possibilities which might develop under
the new conditions that offer such high
prices for beef.
But the stock feeder has discovered

The farmer has played safe and taken
his profits when they offered. He has
killed the calves.
Each of these calves has weighed about
or under 200 pounds. Had each been al
lowed to come to maturity 1t would have
weighed about LOCO pounds. SO the pub
lie has, because Of the existence of this
animal. devoured about one-dfth Of the
meat that it would have eaten had con-
ditions conspired to the maturing Of the
calf instead of its slaughter. The killing
Of these calves has become SO general
that very material effect Is being pro-
duced upon the meat supply Of the ma
ton. 1t is estimated that calf-killing
alone reduces the meat SUPPLY Of the ma
ton by some 20 per cent.
At this juncture appears a new brand
of conservationist There are great num-
bers of men who know the detail of the
wheat business who argue that the kill
ing of calves should be prohibited by
law. There have been advocates of this
idea appearing before the present Con-
gress and arguing in favor Of a bill that
would protect calves as deer and other
game animals that are approaching ex-

The ranges of Texas are depleted and
there are no cattle to eat the grass. The

TO resist the temptation of high prices
offered for cows for beef.
Congress is busiIy engaged in letting

Horticulture is advising thu farmers as

Gscr the emergency is great and the
American public is face t. face with

merely producing prohihtive prices. but
which threatens lack OF meat at any
