FEEDING THE STOCK

On too many farms stock cattle
barely hold their own during the win
ter, says J. c. Tabor in the Montana
Farmer This means that for half OF
each year all the feed consumed goes
for body maintenance, returning moth
ing to the owner, and serving only to
carry the animals over winter to past
ure time, when they once more begin
to gain in weight and thereby really
increase in value.
Frequently calves are left to run un-
til late in the fall before weaving,
practice which sends the mother stock
into the winter in thin condition. AS
a result the female stock, unless given
extra care and feed barely maintain
themselves without any additional in
crease in weight Where this method
is followed the calves are very likely
to be stunted unless well sheltered
and well fed.
| To keep any kind thriving it is nee
essary to give close attention to feed
and care. 1t is hardly to be expected
that they will receive this attention
running at large or depending entirely
upon pasture. True they will subsist
but to secure the most profitable re-
turns they must be kept growing at all
times. The man who sends his cattle
or other stock into the winter in good
condition, and maintains that cOndi-
tion by providing plenty of nutritious
feed, will receive splendid returns for
his efforts.
BY the use of corn silage combined
with other cheap roughage, young cat
tie can be made to gain steadily all
winter at small cost, SO that with the
coming of spring they not only will
have increased in weight but will be
! in condition to go on pasture and
make the largest possible gains. With
an abundance of corn silage, corn sto-
ver, and legume hay, all possible to
! the Montana farmer, the stockman has
to supply his cattle with only the
minimum of rich concentrates which
he can produce, thus reducing the cost
of producing meat and milk to the
minimum. At the same time the car
rying capacity for farm animals is
greatly increased, which means great
advantage to both land and owner.

Nebraska has a law, which re-
quires the State Bank Commits
sioner t o investigate concerns
offering land or other property
for sale and if charges are borne
out o f misrepresentation or
fraud, to publish the results of
the investigation and notify the
Attorney General. This provis-
ion of the Nebraska law is said
to have been most effectual in
keeping fraudulent and fake
land agencies out of the State.

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
tion of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations Of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit.
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

To Formulate Plan
Against Strike Duty

The officers of the California
state militia held a conference
at Sacramento Monday to fOrmu-
late a plan to be laid before the
legislature to relieve the Cali
fornia National Guard of the
duty of serving in strikes and
labor troubles in the future. 1t
is suggested that a separate
body, to be known as the state
constabulary, be formed, to
handle strike situations under
state authority.
1t is believed that the person
mel of the militia can be raised
to higher level with the strike
duty feature eliminated. Hun
dreds of young men desiring
military training refuse to enter
the service of the state, it is
held, because they do not desire
to be placed in the position of
taking the field against broth
ers, fathers, and friends
and relatives in the event of
labor troubles. This duty has
hampered the growth of the
National Guard, say high Off
cials, and has created a preju-
dice against the citizen soldiery.
The constabularly, as tenta-
lively proposed at present, would
consist of an organization of
from forty to fifty trained men
under one officer. 1t is not be-
lieved that the legislature will
look with approval on the idea,
because of the objections to any,
body of fighters organized for
the sole purpose OF hghtlng
strikers.
An almost complete revision
of the rules and regulations of
the National Guard is proposed
by it's officers. 1t is said that
similar changes are being con-
sidered in other states, and the
action of California will be the
initiative in this respect. News
Dispatch.
The membership of the Ari-
zona militia is kept back by the
same reason. Many union men
would enlist in the National
Guard, provided they would be
exempt from war" in case of
strikes

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man Is an entertainment; to q
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress OF
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but 1t
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave US the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have cc.quered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives. multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
CONTRIBUTED

1t was a frosty morning in
October. Prof. j. w. Brown
had just called his unruly boys
and girls to order, when very un-
expectedly a new pupil made his
appearance in the school room.
He was a bright lad Of about
fourteen, rather good looking.
He had light, curly hair. and
blue eyes of the dreamy type.
His nose was by no means small.
There was serious expression
on his face, but when he smiled
more than one young lady of the
school experienced that fatal
sensation" "palpitation of the
heart.
Our hero was seemingly con-
fused and embarrassed, b u t
goood natured Prof. Brown came
to his rescue by saying: Good
morning, my boy, what is your
namew
With a vigorous jerk at his
coat sleeve, the boy replied:
'Why. the kids call me Pader-
ewski, but my maiden name is
Rufus"
Zone night, just recently, "
said Miss Dicie Brimhall, Il was
suddenly awakened by hearing
the most beautiful strains of mu-
sic. | soon discovered that the
sound came from Andrews
room. Now, | have always been
cOnceited over Andrews singing,
but it was happy surprise to
note how profciently he warbled
at this particular time. This is
what he was singing;
Ruth! Ruth! say that you love
me as | love you;
And be my own little wife, so
good, so true.
/ love you, oh, so dearly
Yes, it is the the truth, Pm tell
ing
When say that | love you,
My own dearest Ruth.
When he made his appearance
next morning. he seemed as
calm and unaffected as though
nothing had happened. How
ever, | lost no time in asking the
cause of the disturbance during
the night-if he had had the
might mare" etc.
He said, Call it what you
want to, Sis. l was only dream

 UNTIL SUNDAY
AT SIX O'CLOCK THAT EVENING ANSWER TO ULTIMATUM
 MUST COME.

PEKIN, May 6.-At six o'clock on Sunday evening the Chinese govern ment must have acceded to the de- mands of Japan or must fight for her integrity. The official information was made this afternoon that this was the hour mentioned in the ultimatum from the government of the Mikado and all Pekin, and, indeed, all China, has now come to the conclusion that the republic is on the eve of a great war. The president and his advisors have been almost constantly in session since the receipt of the ultimatum but are maintaining a strict silence with respect to the probable answer. 1t IS fully understood that the country is not prepared for a war with the Japanese at the present time but, un- less the powers that we have appeal ed to come to our aid and divert Japan from her purpose we shall fight to maintain our national honor and as a protest against the tyranny of our neighbor.

LONDON, May 7.-Prime Minister Asquith informed the House of Com mons this afternoon that the Allied operations around the Dardanelles are progressing favorably for our side.

Kitchener is ominously quiet recently but that ne is preparing to crowd forward every available man is generally understood.

GREATEST OPERATIONS IN ALL HISTORY BEGUN BY

LONDON, May 7.-The govern ment frankly announces this morning that the armies of the Austrian and German empires have now launched all over Europe the most terrific mili- tary movements of the worlds his tory. It is made apparent that the combined Teutonic powers have chosen this time for it's supreme effort and millions of their troops are now attacking along almost all the eastern fronts and on some of the western line with desperate energy. Amongst the great movements are the invasion of the Russian Baltic provinces which is still proceeding. Also on the East Prussian front the kaiser's armies are being thrown forward and are now bombarding fercely the fortress and city of Grodno. On the Polish center alone they are remaining quiet and merely confning themselves to the de fensive.
 The most terrific of all the attacks is being made on the Russians in west Galicia where the Austro-Ger- mans are putting forth every effort to smash the Russian flank and roll it back far enough to expose the Russian center operating on Austrian soil. They are also assaulting the Russians desperately at Lupkow pass with the evident purpose of driving the Mus covites out of that mountain road and in this quarter, it is said, the Germans and their allies are meeting with the greatest success. All east Europe IS now ablaze with the most terrible conhagration of the whole war.
