Montana Greatest Sheep State.

Montana is the country's greatest
sheep state and it must remain so II
it is to make the most of it's natural
resources. The millions of acres Of
hill and mountain grazing lands can
be put to no more profitable use than
the production of the right type of
sheep. Montana should not be con-
tent to rely wholly upon the produc-
tion of feeder sheep for eastern farm
ers to finish. They may and should
develop an enormous business in fin
ished lamb and mutton. Their alfalfa,
peas and feed grains are ideal for the
purpose. Their climate Is unequaled
and their water supply as good as the
world affords. The Montana sheep
man of experience should feel no un-
easiness as to the future and should
profit by his knowledge and stay by
the game. II he feels the business of
the future holds no inducement, what
must be the condition of the less IA
vOred sheepman of the corn belt and
the east? Every indication points to
the wisdom of the Montana shepherd
staying by his flocks. The alarms of
years will yet prove to be false.

According to statistics just pub
lished, Berlin appears to be an extraor-
dinarily healthful place for the aged,
who live there in remarkably large
numbers. A feature of the figures is
the much greater number of old wom-
en- in proportion to old men, and with
every decade above 70 the proportion
increases astOnishingly. In Berlin the
number OF men between 70 and 80 is
1888, while the number OF women Is
25,2O4. For Greater Berlin the figures
are 2O,O49 and 1880, respectively. OF
persons between 80 and 80 women are
in an enormous majority. For Berlin
the figures are 2,036 men and 5,37l
women and for Greater Berlin 1859
men and 1910 women. Berlin has a
large number of nonagenarians, and
of these three out of every four are
women. In Greater Berlin there are
364 women who have passed their
ninetieth birthday, but only III men.

Beasts Of Prey Killed by Foresters

During the past fiscal year 4,6S6
predatory animals were killed by fed
eral officers on the national forests,
according to an actual count of car
casses. An indeterminate number of
animals, whose bodies were not found
are presumed to have died from
poison.
The rangers bag of beasts of prey
this year, as shown by forest service
figures, was made up of 2O6 bears,
3.541 coyotes, 1873 mountain lions, 62
lynx, $50 wild cats, 81 wolves, and 81
wolf pups. The figures indicate that
the national forests are becoming
cleared of wild animals that prey up
on domestic livestock and game, for
the forest ranger fills in odd moments
between other jobs by thinning out
undesirable citizens" Of the animal
world. -
Wolves are said to cause greater
losses to western stockmen than any
other of the predatory animals. 1t is
| estimated that a family of wolves will
destroy about $4,000 worth of stock
per annum, and that one able-bodied
$500 a season.

smaller prairie wolves or coyotes, and
the larger grey, black, or timber
wolves, called "lobos." These latter
are the great stock destroyers against
which the campaign of the rangers
has been waged.
The methods of hunting wolves in
the west vary. On the plains wolves
are sometimes hunted with dogs and
horses, but this way is considered ex-
pensive and often dangerous. This
sport is described by Roosevelt in
his earlier hunting books. On ma
tional forests the rangers either set
out poison or baited steel traps or, by
watching trails and hiding near a
VOLTS den, are able to shoot one or
both of the old wolves when they re-
turn from foraging. In no other way,
according to the forest service, can
the number of wolves be kept down
SO well as by finding their dens and
destroying the young.
The skins of the predatory animals
killed by the rangers are either kept
as souvenirs or sold for price or for
bounty. Wolf skins in the west are
said to bring from 81 to $6 for robes
and rugs; a mountain lion skin, $40
to $40; and bear skin, anywhere
from $40 to $3.50, according to size
and species. In addition to this, there
are bounties on bear, lions and wolves
in most of the western stock states
Wyoming, in ten years, has paid out
it is said, over $65,000 in bounties on
wolves alone and $4,000 more on
coyotes and mountain lions.
Through his activity against these
pests, the forest ranger, it is said
has saved the stockmen many thou
sands of dollars during the year, while
the protection to game animals, such
as deer, elk and anteloupe, is of al
most equal Importance.

Hints for the Dentists Chair.

Everybody breads the dentist. The
bravest heart quails at the thought of
the man with the forceps One who
has been through many trying expert
ences with the dentist, and who has
made of study of efficiency in all di-
rection, claims to have made some
discoveries that ought to be helpful
to all. Here are some of his sugges-
tions. Your siege in the dentist chair
will be greatly lightened if you will
remember few things.
Keep the throat moist by gargling
from time to time as you sit in the
chair, with water mixed with some
antiseptic preparation of an ordinary
character such as every dentist has
at hand.
1t is not bad idea before you go
to dentist to take a bit of chewing
gum in the mouth to promote a free
flow of saliva. If the gum has fla
yor, that will be helpful and will check
the tendency to dryness of the throat
and the tickling sensation that fol-
lows.
Carry q large handkerchief with
perfume or cologne on it, which you
can hold in your hand and inhale the
cologne whenever you have a mo.
ment's rest. You will find 1t very re-
freshtng. While the dentist is at
work the handkerchief will give your
fingers something to clasp. This may
help to divert your attention from the
work on your teeth.
Relieve the strain upon your throat
at every opportunity while the den.

The Selection of House Furniture.


Many housekeeper selects for the
furniture and decorations of her
home the things hardest to keep clean,
the loudest, gaudiest colors, and shelf
after shelf of useless, ugly bric-a-brac.
She can never allow the shades to be
up, except when visitors are present,
lest the light and sunshine fade these
ill-chosen things. She undoubtedly
has learned that the cleaning is very
hard and burdensome, but she does
not appreciate the fact that a room
should be flooded with as much sun
and light as possible, in order to help
kill off the disease germs, e. g., those
that were thrown off in the last cold,
or case of grippe that some member
of the family has just recovered from.
Nor does she realize that the harsh,
loud colors so often seen in wall pa
pers and hangings have such an ef-
feet on the nervous system as may
unconsciOusly cause members of the
family to be irritable. And, moreover,
is there anything restful about many
homes, crowded full of decorations
and fancy uncomfortable furniture.
So let us look to improper furnish
ing of homes for part of the fatigue
and nervousness of families.-Effa

Forest Notes.

The American forestry association
has members in every state in the

and in every civilized and semi-civil.
lied country in the world.
Makers of monographs are aiming
to use wood instead of metal in all
parts of the instrument where this is
possible, in order to increase the mel
lOwness of the tone.
On the POcatello forest, Idaho, $780,
900 trees were planted during the past
year, and almost half a million in the
past three years, fully three-fourths
of which are alive and doing well.
Experiments in the use of aspen for
shingles show that the shingles do
not check in seasoning. and that they
turn water satisfactorily, but that they
are too easily broken in handling.
There are somewhat more than 500
recognized tree species in the United
States, of which about 100 are com.
mercially important for timber. or

The government has just sold $4,000
cords of cedar wood for shingles from
the Washington national forest. The
shingles manufactured from this wood,
laid six inches to the weather, would
cover two and one-half square miles
of roof.
The navy department has asked the
forest service to investigate guijo, a
Philippine wood, for possible use in
decking boats and ships. Longleaf
pine, sugar maple, and beech are the
domestic woods most used for decks.
