Local Grain Quotations
Affects Peddina Of Meat

On account of the many inquiries
for information relative to farmers
peddling meat in the different towns,
the state board of health has sent
out the following regulation:
Regulation 56-No sla%ughtering
shall be done in barns, sheds, ship
ping pens or other buildings not de-
signed or suitable for the slaughter
ing of animals and the handling, dress.
ing and cooling of meats; nor shall
any s~laughtering be done outside of
any building except in rural districts,
and then only when the meat is in
tended for private consumption.
provided, that this regulation shall
not be construed as prohibiting a.
rancher from slaughtering his OWN
cattle on his own premises and de-.
livering portions of the carcass there
of to customers in quantities of not
less than Is pounds to each customer"

Will Resist New Rate

Helena, Jan. 8.-Counsel for the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad companies, will resist the
new distributing rate in Montana or.
dered by the Montana railroad com
mission, which reduced the rates to
rs per cent. less than those enjoyed
by Spokane and Seattle jobbers, ii
was minated and the question in all
probability will be threshed out in the
courts. A rehearing has beea asked
and II this is refused by tie commits.
sion, then recourse will be had to the
courts. It is said that the committee
is ready t. defend its order which has
ordered a rate, though 26 per cent.
under the Spokane and Seattle tariffs
is still 10 per cent higher than the
rates in North Dakota. A prominent
general official Of the railroads said
today:
"The railroads feel that they are
victims of a misunderstanding because
they proposed the reduction of Mon.
tana rates to the Washington basis,
before there was any suggestion o. q
rate revision by the Montana com.
mission. We cannot adopt rules or.
dered into effect by the Montana com
mission, and comply with interstate
directions by the Interstate Commerce
Commission"

Defends Educational System

Billings, Jan. 10.-At the dedicatory
exercises last night of the city's new
100000 high school, President E. b.
Craighead, of the University Of Mon.
tana, replied to the recent attack OH
the educational system of the coun-
try, made at St. Paul by James J.
Hill, who declared that the common
and high schools of the country "are
dismal failures"
Much of Mr.. Hills criticism, he ad-
mitted, was well founded, and in many
ways the schools r "shamefully in.
efficient" but he asserted that the
criticism was unwarrantably sweep
ing.
The schools of today are superior
to those of fifty years ago, he said,
although they have not kept pace with
industrial and social development and
are not adequate to the demands of
today; but the public school system
of America, including colleges and uni.
versities is the greatest agency yet
devised for advancing civilization, in.
creasing happiness and developing in.
tellectuality.

Montana Weather Gossip

The present winter is one of the
mildest, so far, that Montana has ever
experienced, and it brings old-timers
barking over the pioneer days to the
times of the winter of sc and the
spring of 81, which was probably the
hardest winter that the state ever
knew, according to Granville Stewart,
who is quoted to that effect by the
Butte Post.
"We've had some mild winters like
the present n in Olden days." said
the mar who came to the state in 81.
'In the winter of rs, when the Sew
enth infantry was camped on the fair
grounds at Helena, only half an inch
of snow fell in November and there
was no more snow until March II,
when sleighs were used for half a
day, the only time that year. In 1862
at Bannack and Virginia City, in
the Beaverhead and Big Hole valleys,
there was no winter and teams and
oxen made two and three trips to
Salt Lake. There was no snow on the
ranges. In the winter of 81 it was
never below zero, and l lived at that
time between Divide and Twin Bridg-
es. On Christmas day in 81 l hunted
in my shirt sleeves, killed a mountain
sheep and carried him down on my
shoulders. The sun was hot.
"The winter of sc and the spring
of 81 were perhaps the coolest l can
remember. Following the cold wealth
er before Christmas, it was cold and
showed during January and Febru-
airy, and in March there ri 20 inches
of SNOW on the ground. During March
it showed an inch or two every even
ing and, out of the 81 days, % were
from 16 to "a below zero. l hope
such days eve come again. I thought
the arctic region had slipped down.
Had there been railroads running into
Butte then they could not have oper-
ated and the people would have starv-
ed.
Climatic conditions are changing.
We have more rain nov in the SUM
mer and less snow in the winter. In
the old days it seldom rained except
in June. Now we have rains in July
and August. We had more snow in
the winter time. We never had so
little wind as this winter and seldom
have we had so little snow in the high
mountains near Butte"

Changes in Cattle Business

Important changes in the Montana
cattle raising industry are indicated
in the annual report of D. w. Ray
mond, secretary of the state board OF
stock commissioners.
During the veal 1913," say the re-
port, "the stockmen of Montana have
received the proceeds of 1886 head
of cattle and 27,416 head of horses.
The shipments this year of cattle
were about 5000 head short of the
shipments of 1912. This shortage is
expected and has many times been ex.
planned by the influx of settlers. 1t
is expected that the homesteader
will, in a small way, become a stock
nan; that he is doing so, is proven
w the records of recording brands in
tias Office during tie past year We
have recorded 6,6lS brands, the larg.
est number in the history of the of.
flee during any given year.
Mr.. Raymond points out that
though Montana has been known as a
great cattle state. New York has
three times as mnay head of cattle
Nebraska three times, and Colorado
has three head of cattle where Mon
tana has two.
TO show that Montana could sup
port many more head Of stock, Mr..
Raymond points that for every head
of cattle, horses, mules and sheep
now in Montana there are five acres
of grazing land. He estimates that
there are not less than fifty million
acres of vacant grazing land that
should be, but is not utilized.
