Reduced Grain Rates.

A reduction in freight rates on Mon
tana grain shipments is announced by
the state railroad commission, the new
rates to 60 into effect on August s..
According to the announcement N made
by the commission, the lower rates
mean q saving of about 81, 400, 900 to
Montana farmers.
This estimate, however, needs veri.
fication, as the reduction in rates is
not uniform throughout Montana, the
former charges remaining in effect at
several of the large grain shipping
points. In northern Montana, for in.
! stance, there will be practically 90
change in the rate on grain shipmen ts
to the Minneapolis market. From
Fort Benton the former rate of 30
cents per 100 pounds is unch anged: :
the rates to Minneapolis from Ravre,
Chinook, Glasgow and other northern
Montana shipping points are not af-
fected by the new schedule. Ia fact,
according to unofficial advices. the
new rate on fax from this part OF
Montana will be advanced about two
cents over the former charge.

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS.

Perhaps, In view of the good.roads
congress to be held next week in
Kalispell, 1t is timely to state again
the proposal advocated by Sens
Bourne OF Oregon, with respect to
federal aid for highway work; 1t has
often been mentioned as the best OF
the plans thus..far proposed. Under
It every state would be allowed to is.
sue certain amount OF 4 per cent.
bonds and deposit them In the federal
treasury. The general government
would then issue its own 3 per cent.
bonds and pay the states for their
bonds with the proceeds of the sale OF
its own.
Thus, II the states deposited $780,
.OO0, 900 of 50.yesr 4 per cent. bonds
and the federal treasury the same am.
cunt in 3 per cent. bonds, the differ.
ence would be $4,000, 900 a year. On
this the government should allow tu
the states, under the Bourne plan, 2
per cent annual compound interest.
At that rate, at the end of q little less
than Al years this sinking fund would
be 600, 600, 600, or enough to pay of
the federal bonds and return the state
bonds, cancelled, to the state treasur
lee. Under this plan of turning ns
Iional credit to account the states
would be bound to abide by certain

Excellent MIX Type.

and expense connected with winter
feeding done away with, but each COW
is expected to give the best results of
the year on grass. In changing from
dry feed to grass. 1t is best to go
somewhat slowly. especially with
heavy milking COWS. The young. i'm.
mature grass of early spring contains
large amount of water and small
amount of dry matter. and 1t is almost
impossible for heavy milking COW to
eat enough of such feed to supply the
necessary amount of nutrients. Wheat
and rye pastures are of the same ma
ture. Another reason for putting cat.
tie on pasture gradually rather than
suddenly is the effect on the taste OF
the milk. When COW is changed at
once from grain ration to grass a
very marked taste is developed In the
milk, while il this change in feed is
made gradually and not suddenly the
change in the taste of the milk is
scarcely noticed.
Soon after the COWS are on pasture
they reach the maximum production OF
milk for the year. This suggests what
the dairyman must do In order that
the production of milk may be the
largest, is to initiate these summer
conditions as far as possible through
out the remainder of the year. This
is what the careful dairyman and
skilled feeder does. and the results
correspond closely to the success with
which these summer conditions are
maintained. The summer conditions
which bring about the maximum pro
duction and which are to be main
tanned as far as possible through the
year as described in the following
statement:
1. An abundance of palatable food
2. Balanced ration.
s. Succulent feed
4. Moderate temperature.
S. Comfortable surroundings
There is some difference of opinion
regarding grain feeding while on pas.
ture from the standpoint of economy.

FOR MILK PRODUCTION
Getting Largest Yield at Least
Expense Is Problem.
Adaptability of the Cows Used and
Amount and Kind Of Food Sup
piled Are Factors That Must
Be Wisely Considered.
cBy c. II. EcKLEs.o


There are two factors which largely
control the economical production OF
milk. One is the adaptability of the
cows used for this purpose and de-
pends upon her. individual breed char
acteristics. The other is the amount
and kind of food eaten. The problem
confronting the dairyman is the pro-
duction of the largest amount of milk
and butter at the least expense. In
order that this may be realized both
the important factors mentioned must
receive careful attention.
In most cases the largest direct ex-
pense is for feed. Everyone familiar
with the prevailing conditions knows
that a large amount of feed iss used
without producing the results it
should. 1t would be safe to say that
the average yearly milk production
per COW could be increased by one-half
or three-fourths by following better
methods OF feeding
Every owner of COW welcomes the
time when the animal can be turned
out to pasture. Not only is the labor
