FORT PECK INDIANS HOLD GATH
OLlc CONGRESS.


A great Catholic Indian Congress
was held from July 9TH to 18th at Pop
lar, Montana, on the Fort Peck Reser-
walton. This Congress is usually held
at some point in North Dakota, and
is known as the North Dakota Catholic
Congress. In recent years large
number of Indians from the Fort Peck
Reservation, Montana, have been at
tending the North Dakota Congress
and this is the second time that this
Congress has been held in their midst
in Montana. The Congress was large
ly attended by Sioux Indians of Devils
Lake and Standing Rock Reservation,
North Dakota, by Chippewas of Turtle
Mountain Reservation, by eros Vent
res, Arickarees and Mandans of the
Fort Berthold Reservation, all of
North Dakota.
A number of Montana Indians also
attended the Congress. The Fort Peck
Reservation is the home of two tribes
the Assinaboines and large num-
Der of Yankton Sioux. Austrian Bene-
dictines have charge of the Fort Peck
Mission, Rev. Benedict Seethaler be-
ing the Superior Missionaries from
various Reservations of North Dakota
were in attendance, and the Bureau of
Catholic Indian Missions, Washington,
was represented by the Indian priest,
Rev. Philip B. Gordon. Rt. Rev. Ma

BUFFALO,, N. ", is HON.
oRED BY SECRETARY
DANIELS.
Rev. Joseph Carlton Short, of Green
Bay, Wisconsin, has been appointed a
Chaplain in the United States Navy,
by Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
Father Short is native of Buffalo,
New York, where he was born on Au-
gust 10, 1890. He received his early
education at the Nativity Parochial
School and st. Joseph's Academy, at
/ forwards entering Canisius College of
that city, from which he graduated.
He then became student of the
Royal Imperial University of Inns
bruck, Austria, and upon the compile
ton of his course, was ordained to
the priesthood on July ~, 1918, by
the Prince Bishop Franz Egger of
Brixen. Upon his return to this coun-
try he celebrated his first Mass in the
church Of the Nativity, Buffalo, and
his first assignment was as assistant
rector Of st. Patrick's Church, Green
Bay, Wis, where he has remained up
to the present time.
Father Short is we'll qualified for
the work which he has now entered
upon, for while at St. Patrick's his
service was characterized by an un-
tagging zeal and his activities were
specially notable. He was prominent
in all lines of endeavor where young
men were concerned, having special
liking for athletics.
Rev. M. ]. O'Brien, pastor of St..
Patrick's Church, Green Bay, Wis, in
speaking of Father Shorts appoint
ment, to the writer, said:-
Father Short has been the most
popular assistant have ever had, and
at the same time the brightest and
brainiest. He is brilliant and forci-
BILE speaker, and was always the lead
er in his class in the College and in
the Seminary. predict for him a
most successful career in the United
States Navy. He has been with me
for nearly three years, and my people

OKRA IN VEGETABLE GARDEN

To add variety, okra or gumbo to

The seed should be sown in drills
from one and one-half to two inches
deep. these drills two feet apart and
the plants thinned to IS inches in the

the plants started, as they are quite
tender when young. The seed is er-

10y w. COtfEIO
The number of lambs received by
the large markets greatly exceeds the
number Of sheep. Before the West
turned to mutton production the re-
verse was true, but now It Is esti-
mated that lambs constitute 80 per
cent Of the total receipts of the Chi
cago market, and doubtless the same
Is true Of the other large markets.
Not only has there been q change
in the relative numbers of sheep and
lambs marketed, but there has also
been a change In the distribution Of
the lambs through the different sea-
sons. Formerly. when the supply was
drawn almost exclusively from native
focks. they were on the market in
appreciate numbers during the sum-
mer and early autumn months only.
but now they are received every week
in the year. As the large numbers re-
ceived would indicate, lambs are pre-
ferred by the consumer. and this even
distribution of them throughout the
year has doubtless greatly stimulated
consumption.
A great deal of interest attaches to
the relative merits of western and

DIVERSITY ON A FARM PAYS
Raise More Live Stock and Various
Kinds Of Crops With No Attempt
to Specialize.

Do you practice diversified farm
ing? Farm records show and good
farmers agree. in general. that diver.
sif1ed farming is the most profitable.
Diversified operations mean the rails
ing of live stock and various kinds Of
crops with no attempt to specialize.
This plan gives opportunity for crop
rotation, for distribution of man and
horse labor and for the maintenance
of soil fertility.
All of these are essential to good
farming. Crop rotation aids in main
tanning crop yields and soil fertility,
the distribution Of labor reduces the
cost of operation and the maintenance
Of soil fertility is the basis of all sue
cessful agriculture.
Diversified farming is of importance
because 1t allows farmers to carry out
these farm practices.

excels are the flavor, color and juicf-
ness of its meat. The same IL true Of
sheep although in lesser degree. The
best native lamb is better than the
best western lamb because Il Is better
fed. The western lamb IL forced to
take q great deal Of exercise over the
range in it's search for food, and this
is perhaps one of the reasons why its
flesh Is darker In color and less Juicy
than that of the native lamb Of prime
finish that has usually been confined
to small pastures.
It is claimed that the range grasses
do not equal those in the districts
where native lambs are grown in i'm
parting desirable flavor to the flesh
of lambs. Lambs fattened on the
range are often driven long distances
to a shipping point, and subjected to
several days of scant food and water
supply while en- route to market. Al
though these lambs are usually rested
a few days at the feeding stations, 1t
is believed, nevertheless. that the

market are in part responsible for the
criticism brought against the flavor,
color and juiciness Of their meat. The
fact that the best native lambs are
conceded to be better than the best
western lambs for the meat trade
should be a matter of great encourage
ment to their producers. However,
producers as q whole should be chiefly
concerned about the merit Of their
average product. rather than that OF
q few exceptional individuals that sur
pass anything else of their class. Rela-
tive to this fact the buyers for the
packers assert emphatically that the
average native lamb is much inferior
to the average western lamb. This
statement should be seriously con-
sidered by producers Of natives in
general, because when linked with the
statement that the best native out
classes the best western, 1t suggests
that the producers of natives are
either handicapped by difficulties
which they cannot control or are open
to criticism in their methods.

ERADICATING TICK IN SOUTH
Essential to Successful Development
Of Sound Agricultural System
Expense 10 Small.

Eradication of the tick is essential
to the development of q sound agri-
cultural system in the South. Land
there IL still cheap and much of 1t Is
making no money for anyone. The
pasture season is long, feed can be pro-
duced at q minimum cost, and only in
expensive shelter is required.
The tick by compelling guarantees
adds to the cost Of getting cattle to
outside markets. Ticky beeves cannot
be transshipped and must 60 to i'm
mediate slaughter. Free cattle can be
transshipped to markets where prices
are higher or can be sold as feeders.
The difference in price between ticky
and free cattle runs from one-half to
one cent a pound or five to ten dol
lars head.
The tick kills imported or pure-bred
stock and thus makes 1t hard for the
tick-infested> regions Of the South to
raise any but scrub cattle.
A yearling calf from a pure-bred
bull and a native COW will weigh from
$50 to 600 pounds. Such q calf is esti-
mated to be worth SO to $23 more
than a calf from scrub stock.
A few swims through the arsenical
dipping vat and the ticks are killed
and your animal is worth FIVE to ten
dollars more. provided your neighbors
join in and the country will dip it's cat.
tie and free itself from costly quaran-
tine restrictions. Five cents worth Of
arsenic per head is all 1t costs after
the vat is built. A vat costs only $50
to 800 and will dip all the cattle as
often as needed The only other costs
are driving the cattle to the vat and
handling them in the bath.

USING THE TUBERCULIN TEST
Southern Dairy Owners Urged to Make
Test at Least Once Yearly to
Eradicate Disease.

II there were not serious conse-
quences involved 1t would be amusing
the way some cattlemen object to the
tuberculin test, because 1t Is not &C
curate The trouble is that 1t is too
accurate to suit these men. In over
ninety-eight cases out of one hundred.
in which the tester has claimed the tu-
berculin test showed tuberculosis, and
post-mortem examination has been
made, 1t has showed the test and the
tester correct. It Is probable that tu'
berculin never causes an elevation OF
temperature unless the animal has tu-
berculosis. The tester may make q
mistake occasionally. but II he only
fails in two cases out Of one hundred
the test is remarkably accurate. We
know of nothing of this nature in
which mans judgment is involved that
is more accurate.
Southern cattle are comparatively
free from tuberculosis now. and II our
stockmen would look to their inter-
ests and not only test all cattle
brought in, but all those now on their
farms, once q year, the disease would
never become a menace to our herds,
as is the case in some sections, and
millions of dollars and many human
lives would be thereby saved.
Every dairyman should tuberculin
test his herd once a year and the
state should prohibit the shipment of
any cattle into or within the state,
for dairy or breeding purposes. unless
tested and found free of tuberculosis.
