A remarkable record of longevity is
to be found in some of the rural par.

ATTENTION TO CALVING cow
Animal Requires More Care During
Cool Weather Than in Summer.
Box Stall Is Urged.

More care is required by the calv-
ing cow during the cooler weather
than is needed during the summer
months, says L. S. Gillette, acting head
of the dairy hushandry department at
Iowa State college. Lack Of comfort
able quarters at this period has di-
rect bearing on the milk flow of the
period following.
The main things to be considered
are the health and comfort Of the
cow and calf, which are closely related.
A large, roomy box stall is probably
the best place for the cow at this time.
Very light feed is needed and the wa
ter given should not be ice cold.
Assistance should be given the COW
at parturition if necessary and due
precautions taken to prevent her from
retaining her afterbirth. If it is re-
tanned it may be removed, thereby pre-
venting Inflammation and other COM
plications following calving.

STATE SEES RELIEF IN
GRAIN STANDARD LAW
vte Which Federal Government is
Preparing to Put Into Effect

Billings.-Montana is one of the
states vitality affected by the United
States grain standard law, which the
government is preparing to put into
effect.
Under the authority of the act,
passed by Congress August IL, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is engaged in formulating
grain standards for the Northwestern
States which will become authoritative
for this region with regard to all grains
in Interstate shipments.
Under the new system when the
grain has been graded and the grade
duly made known by a properly IL
censed inspector at the place of pro-
duction, that grade will hold at the
terminals, unless an appeal in proper
form, some error or fraud is clearly
made out.

CITY MANAGER PLAN MAY
BE TRIED OUT IN MONTANA
Engineers Drafting Statute Which is to
Be Submitted to Legislature in jan
uary-McdeIed After Ohio Act.

Helena.-What it's advocates say will
be big step forward in economy is
the proposed law giving cities of Mon
tana the right to adopt the city manag-
er plan. The Montana Institute of
Municipal Engineers, in company with
Surveyor General Henry Gerharg, of
Helena, is drafting the statute, which
is to be submitted to the Montana leg
islature in January. The law is model
ed after the act in force in Dayton,
Ohio, where the city has been managed
for several years by one man with sue
cess. Under the proposed Montana act
complete charge of the cities voting
to try the plan would be handed over
to the manager. The boards of alder
men or of commissioners would be
abolished. Civil service would go into
effect and it would be possible to Sec
ure experts for public work.

Helena.-Montana lays claim to the
distinction of being the only state In
the Union In which flax is grown for

At the plant, which is located at Con-
rad, in Teton county, the fiber is sepa

at other mills.
The industry is comparatively young,
having been developed within the past
two years.

POINTS OF GOOD DAIRY cow
Animal Is Machine to Manufacture
Largest Amount of Milk From Food

(By r. H. WILLIAMS, Department of
Animal Husbandry, University of Arr
zona.)
The dairy COW is a machine to
manufacture the largest amount Of
milk from the food consumed. 1t
has been found that the cows which
make the most efficient milk ma
chimes are those with special dairy
points. The dairy cow should be
medium to large in size and show
considerable angularity in outline.
She should be feminine in appear
ance, have rather long neck,
smooth shoulders, prominent backbone,
with open ribs, and a nice silky coat
of hair with mellow, pliable skin. All

KEEN MEMORY FOR FACES
Colonel Roosevelt Remembered, After
Two Years, Man Whom He Had
Only Met in a Crowd.

Colonel Roosevelt has one of the
most wonderful memories 1 ever heard
of, particularly for faces and names"
said c. e. Embree of the Maine Farm
ers' Union. 81 first met him some
where about 1906 at Riverhead, Long
Island, when perhaps 5000 persons
were introduced to him.
"About two years later met him on
the street at Oyster Bay. He was In
his shirtsleeves, swinging along to the
postoffice, and being hailed by every
one who saw him, old and young, I
said: Good morning, SIR as we met
HE paused, rather squinted at MY
face and slowly replied: Good morn
ing. Your name Is Embree, is it notr
I admitted 1t, in establishment at his
memory, and asked. But where did
you meet me?' and as quickly as q
fash came: Riverhead wasn't itf
But you met 5000 men that day. o,
that doesn't make any difference
1.-THE next meeting with the colonel
was in 1912 at Nashua, N. II. 1 was
passing around one car to take an
other and stepped a little one side
to allow a man to pass. He casually
looked at me and sang out with a
smile: Hello, Long Island! and was
gone. 1t is wonderful to me that mans
memory of names and faces."-Kenne-
bee Journal.

and a large capacity udder. The udder
should be attached high behind and ex-
tend well up toward the belly. The
width of the udder should be as great
as possible. One should look carefully
for the mammary development in the
dairy COW. This consists of large veins,
which extend along the abdomen from
the udder towards the front limbs.
The veins should be large, crooked,
branching out, extending well towards
the front legs and entering the body
through large holes called milk wells.
Such a COW should pay her way and
from a given quantity of food.

FARMER STARTS SKUNK RANCH
Montanan Has Little Competition In
Profitable Line.

Sidney.-Harry Neifus, a Corvallis
farmer, has started skunk ranch.
Skunk farming is business in which
there is not much competition, there
being only three other farms in the
of skunks. The greatest profit is made
from rendering oil from the skins OF
the little animals. This is sold for 81
to SO per ounce, and a fat skunk will
produce oil worth Sc or more. The
pelt of the animals is also worth
money.
