PASSING OF The CATTLE
RANGE IN MONTANA

Vice-Presient Earring, of the Mil
waukee, who has been making a trip
over the country tributary to the lines
Of his road finds the most significant
feature which he encountered to be the
rapid taking up of the great ranges of
Montana and their transformation in
to prosperous farms. Montana is com
ing into its own as a farming state,
and the time is approaching when the
open range will have disappeared en-
tirely.
Vice-President Earling is right in
his statement that the change is one
which will enhance greatly the well
fare of the state and its people. 1t is
a change which has come before to
other states, ana Montana is practi-
change, however, which has affected
the people of the whole United States
in one important respect, which has
features not altogether liked.
With the disappearance of the range
has come likewise the disappearance
of cheap cattle and cheap food. So
long as there were vast ranges on
which cattle could find food, at nc cost
during the greater portion of the year,
meat could be raised cheaply, not only
sufficient for our own uses, but with a
large surplus for export. As the cat
tie business expanded the condition of
range cattle drove the farmers out of
the business of cattle raising. They
continued to buy range stock and send
it to the market, but they butchered

TICKS MENACE TO
man AND BEAST

The free grazing of $500 head of
sheep upon the Bitterroot national
forest, in Montana. has been authoriz-
ed by the secretary of agriculture as
part of a novel experiment in trapping
the deadly spotted fever tick. The for
est service and the public health SER
vice are working together in co-opera-
tion with local sheep growers in this
new campaign.
1t is the general belief of the lead
ing medical authorities that the mys-
t~erious and frequently fatal disease
commonly known as spotted fever is
spread by the tick Dermacentor ander-
soni which, in parts of the Bitterroot
forest, occur in such abundance that it
constitutes a real menace to man and
beast. Surgeon MeClintic, of the
health service, died last year of spot
ted fever contracted during his study
of the disease and it's control.
The plan proposed contemplates the
ganizing of two bands of sheep upon
the parts of the forest where the tick
is the most abundant, with the idea
that large numbers of the ticks will
attach themselves to the sheep. Then,
as occasion requires, the sheep will be
freed of the ticks by being dipped in
an insectside solution which kills the
ticks without in any way iniuring the
sheep.
The engorging of the female tick
with blood is one of the essential
functions of reproduction, and this
gorging must of necessity take place
upon the larger mammals which serve
as hosts to the tick. The U. s. bio
logical survey has reached the con
%clusion that the great bulk of the
fever ticks which become filed with
blood get their supply while attached
to domestic stock, and that If the do
nestle animals are freed of ticks by
dipping, by spraying, or by some other
effective method of treatment, the
chances of the infection of human be-
ings will be vastly reduced. Of the
different domestic animals the sheep is
the most readily handled and the east
est to dip or treat, hence the selection
Of sheep for use in the experiment.

the coals then carefully run. into bull lets until many families no longer had dishes on which to eat. Large slices of "Rye'n Injun bread" were placed on the spotless table instead of plates, and the food was served upon them which was eaten also during the meal. This is the reason pewter is so rare in New England today, but the records of the Bennett Homestead in 1915 carry an inventory of ''8 lbs of pewter, which show that pewter was sold by the pound, and undoubtedly much of the Bennett family pewter was melted up also for the service of the country.
 Seventy years ago, Ebenezer Jewett, then a lad of nine years lived on what is now known as the Evans place. the homestead of the first Ebenezer Jew ett, the Revolutionary soldier. It is on the road from Bigelow to Brooklyn, near the Brooklyn line. A great pine tree marks the place. The tree was set out by MT. Jewett when he was ten years old.
 Revolutionary soldier, by the name of Nathan Witter who lived on the line between Hampton and Brook lyn often used to ride past the home of little Ebenezer the Third He rode a great black mule and being old as well as his rider, he would often stop to rest by the Jewett place, where Mir. f to his delighted young listener the story of the war, especially the evacu- alton Of Boston at which he was pres ent.
 One Of his stories was of the great dark day in New England history. He would relate, how on that morning May 19,1780 when the sun refused to rise, how he had Ciumbed an apple tree and caught robin on her nest; evidently not as afraid as most of the people were a the phenomenon who spent the day in fasting and prayer. He would relate how the candle burn ed in the house at noon time, how a thick yellow cloud enshrouded the sky leaving a thin coat of fine white sub stance over everything.
 But the stories he delighted most in telling were of the brave deeds and dauntIess courage of the Women of Windham in '76. The wives and mothers that bore an equal share of the hardships and dangers of the war, who now sleep in the old churchyards of Windham County, with only lean ing moss covered slabs of slate to mark their resting places.

Thrty-five More Pupils in High School
 Than During Last Year.

Although on account of the recent fire the high school is in temporary quarters, there is an increase in at tendance this fall over the previous year of 25, the number being 362, 155 of whom are tuition pupils.
 During the year state board has re- linquished control of the Windham Center schools and assumed control of the South Windham school for use as a model school.
 Two additional teachers were re- quired at the Natchaug school, but the cost per pupil was reduced by the in creased attendance $3.07 to $29.38.
 The report of Mrs Katherine J. Spaulding, acting school visitor, con~ tained several interesting items, among which is the experiment con- ducted at the Windham street school of an ungraded room, in which will be placed both those children who are be- hind their respective grades and also those who have progressed beyond their cO-pupilS.
 The Palmer method of writing has been adopted and already has produced gratifying results. as is the case with the standard course of study in use in the town schools.
