SEE THAT YOUR COWS
HAVE PLENTY WATER

All animals require plenty of
good, pure water. This is espe-
pecially true of the milking COW,
as water constitutes more than
three-fourths of the volume of
milk. The water supply, there
fore, demands the dairyman's
most careful attention. Stale or
impure water is distastefnl to the
COW and she will not drink
enough for maximum milk pro-
duction. Such water may also
carry disease germs which might
make the milk unsafe for human
consumption or be dangerous to
the COW herself. During the
winter, when cows are stabbed
the greater part of the time, and
unless arrangements have been
made to keep water before them
all the time, they should be wa
tered two or three times day.
If possible, the water should be
Is or 20 degrees above the freez-
ing point, and should be supplied
at practically the same temper
ature every day. When water
we'll above freezing temperature
is stored in tanks and piped di-
rect to the COW, there is probably
little occasion for facilities to
warm it; but when it stands in
a tank ON which ice often forms,
it usually pays we'll to warm it
slightly. This can be done by a
tank heater, by live steam, Or
by hot water from a boiler. If a
boiler is used for running a sep
arator or for heating water to
wash and sterilize utensils, steam
from it can readily and cheaply
be used to warm the water.

It's the Personal Touch.

Whatever the form of Christmas
good wishes, they will be welcome.
A large collection is flattering and
the most critical and cynical of us
are sentimental at heart. A humble
post card from our office boy gets
rise from us.
A very much bedaubed and blotted
message from Roy Blue or Curly
locks will cause even the most mat
ter-of fact business man to see
through haze, while the original
poem penned by the nine-year-old
Ella Wheeler Wilcox down the street
(she plays the violin and her name
is Aseneth), fills our heart to over
flowing 1t is the personal touch that
counts It is the homemade Christ
mas card that goes right to the spot.
How could anyone be Indifferent to
such tributes-such labors of love?
The cheap card sent ~ our old negro
Nanny, still faithful after many
years; the Christmas Greetings from
Ellen, now marries, and a mother of
three kids-of such is the real spirit
of the season.

THE MORE AUTOS
THE MORE ACRES
EVERY TIME AN AUTOMOBILE
DISPLACES A HORSE AGRI-
CULTURE is HELPED.
There Are 26,OOO,OOO Horses in the
United States, and Each Horse
Consumes the Forage Grown on
Five Acres; the "Buzz Wagon''
From u New Angle.

Every time an automobile dis
places a horse, five acres of land are
added to the agricultural area of the
country. Among the economic influ-
ences of the motor car, this is one
phase that is commonly overlooked,
according to P. w. Hall of Butte,
Manager for Montana of the Boss
Rubber company.
"There are about 26,OOO,OOO
horses in the United States, and each
food year. 1t is easily figured that
an average of five acres is required
to furnish food for each horse. This
of land devoted to pastures and rails
ing hay-2O0,000 square miles. This
means nearly five states as big as
Ohio, or an area larger than Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, devoted
to feeding horses instead of people,"
says Mr.. Hall.
"Of course, the releasing of all this
| area from pasture uses and making
| it available for the support of popu-
lation will be a tremendous gain. In
a dozen other ways the automobile
is adding more to the wealth of the
country, relieving urban congestion,
making men more efficient. The au-
tomobile has done more to bring bet
ter roads than all other influences
combined, and in this it is stabilizing
produce markets, decreasing costs of
transportation from the farm to the
railroad and making the food re-
sources elastic and responsive.
II say the automobile is doing all
this, but in my Judgment the tire
manufacturer is entitled to a lot of
the credit. Tires have helped to
make automobiles dependable and
desirable. Without good tires auto
mobile sales would be restricted.
Good tires have made the automobile
industry possible. In the last analy-
Sis then, tire makers are really res
ponsible for a large part of the re-
markable economic effects / have
just mentioned. It's satisfying
thought to me-"

F"The different commercial asso-
Citations and their connections
throughout the state have been cam
paigning for the last decade to have
every man who had little time on
his hands come to Montana. Let
us build good roads and the tourist
problem will be solved. We will not
only have them as tourists, but as
permanent citizens; those who cam
not stay will come back and bring
their friends"

Coyote Hides Worth Money.

A coyote hide is now worth as high
as $40 to $12. This, together with
SO state bounty, makes it worth while
to go after the rascals this winter
that always cause SO much trouble to
the settlers. A year ago coyote
hide was worth only from soc to SO
apiece.

"Oh, Judy, judy" she exclaimed
rapturously, I've had such a lovely
/ time!" ..., -~..
Again, as once before, Julias heart
sank sickeningly as the acrid odor OF
liquor assailed her nostrils. She
started to speak, but controlled the
impulse. Suddenly there flashed into
her mind saying Of her fathers, 1T
i'll arguing with drunken man., and
she shuddered at the word drunken,
then chided herself sharply for think
ing of such a condition in connection
with her little sister. Caryls friends
had probably coaXed her to drink a
glass of wine, and rather than seem
peculiar, the child had yielded, and
had been affected by it, because she
was unused to stimulants-just as she
had been affected before by, some
thing she had taken with Somerdyke.
Remembering this, the older sister de-
cided to wait until tomorrow before
uttering any word of warning or ad-
monition. -...-.-
Meanwhile Caryl, struck by the
silence, slowly removed her arms from
her sisters neck and looked at her
apprehensively.

The girl began to remove the pins

voice trembling with the joyous beat
ing of her heart. Somerdyke had
never talked to her like this. She
told herself that she was realizing at
last that for which she had longed,
and her happiness made her breath
come fast.
Then will you begin by calling me

Julia had spent a dreary evening
in her room. For an hour Mrs. Halo
ran had tried to entertain her with a
lengthy and pointless story of the do
ings Of some remote relatives in the
old country" The girl had listened
with show OF interest which graft
fled the talker, but in reality her
thoughts had been elsewhere. She
was uraccountably uneasy about Caryl
a fact for which she chided herself.
Twice after Mrs. Halloran had re-
turned to her own rooms in the base
ment Julia was on the verge of 60
ing out to telephone to Delaine and
ask him what he knew about the peo-
pie to whom his friend had introduced
his stenographer. Then sense of
loyalty to her sister and notifying
recollection of that sisters insinua-
tions with regard to Delaine's atten-
tions deferred her At last she con-
trolled her doubts and fears suffi-
GENTLY to undress and go to bed, but
sleep eluded her and she lay in the
darkness listening for the sound of
Caryl's footsteps on the stairs. When
her clock told her that it was after
twelve, she rose, put on her wrapper
and slippers, and paced the floor in
an agony of anxiety.
1t was one o'clock when the door
opened softly and Caryl entered the
room. Her face was flushed and her
eyes were NATURALLY bright. With an
exuberance Of feeling which her sis
ter had never seen her display be-
fore she ran to Julia and flung her
arms around her.
