AUTO WITH WIRELESS
WORKING BUTTE FLAT

Wireless apparatus, transported in
automobiles, is being used by German
spies in Butte to send messages at
night from the flat south Of town to
other sections of the country. if the
latest explanation of the mysterious
action of two automobiles that have
been seen running two and fro in that
section is correct.
For several weeks every few nights
it is said these automobiles with Ell
Their lights dimmed or no lights at
all have been seen driving about in
the early dawn apparently searching
for something or someone. From
time to time they seem to signal each
other as if working in pairs.
All the permanent wireless plants
privately owned in the country have
been dsmantled, but it is pointed
out that it would be an easy matter
to equip machine with telescope
tower, and procure the current from
a generator driven from the engine of
the car.
The second machine that is always
accompanying the first one is thought
to be a guard machine doing sentry
work to give warning to the one con-
tanning the wireless station.

BUTTER
Looks as If 1t Was Going to Be
More Valuable Than Fine
Gold Before Winter Is Over.

The man who pays the bills when
he digs into his pockets this fall and
coming winter to cover the extra
cost of milk, eggs, meat and many
other things to go to stock the larder
wall have to dig little deeper if he
wishes his family to keep on eating
butter.
Butter is going up. Produce men
do not predict how far the price will
advance, but they are sure it will be
good healthy boost over the prices
paid last year. And last year butter
went to so cents a pound wholesale.
Have Good Start.
The fact is butter prices now are
about 8 Or 10 cents higher than they
were year ago at this time. Whole
sale quotations to the trade are now
AZ cents for the best grade.
The trend is explained by the large
falling off in the supply of butter
on hand in cold storage houses on
August 1, as reported to the United
States government These reports
show S1,502,751 pounds in storage,
as compared with 102.537,337
pounds on the same date in 1916.
Farmers Sell Cows.
The reason for the shortage is de-
'lared by produce men to be fall
ing off in the supply of cream. The
farmers and dairymen have materi-
ally reduced their herds on account
Of the high price of feed, finding it
more profitable to sell it than to feed
it.
The higher prices for butter are
not being kept as profit by the mid
1lemen, but are being passed on toll

MONTANA BOY TO FIGHT
HIS FATHER IN TRENCHES

Somewhere in Europe, when the
great American army now being as
sembled, goes into action and Mich
ael Mayer of Tobison, Mont, stands
on the edge of an enemy trench with
his bayonet pointed downward, he is
going to look into the face of his
father, for from the fields of Hung
airy another Michael Mayer, his par
ent, has been called into the service
of his country.
The Montana man, one of the first
men sent by his country to the train
ing camp under the draft law, is a
native of Hungary, but a natural
lied American citizen and a home
steader. He is fine specimen of
manhood and when he was given his
medical examination was declared in
unusually good condition. He re-
fused to claim exemptions and de-
clared himself anxious to fight for
his adopted country and the cause of
world liberty.
The elder Mayer has been in The
field for the Central powers for IS
months and during that time has
been wounded twice. He is SO years
old. The son has heard from him
frequently and in letter that arriv-
ed shortly before the draft it was
stated that his father was again in
the trenches.

COLTS
WI 4 ~
1t Will Pay Every Farmer Well
to Keep Brood Mares and
Raise Some Colts,

One often meets with the argument
that it does not pay to keep mares or
the farm, that when raising colts thew
cannot do their share of the work and
that it is cheaper to buy geldings or
mules for farm operations than to
try and raise them. Such contention
is not borne out by the experience of
hundreds of farmers in this and other
states.
While it is true that mares do not
raise colts with the regularity that
cattle produce their offspring, and
also that when mare does raise a
colt she must have some rest at par
turition time, still these two things
by no means offset the work of the
mare and the value of the foals that
are raised. For all practical pur-
poses mare can do just as much
work on farm as gelding.
Little Time Lost.
When a mare raises colt she can
90 practically as much work as the
horse with the exception of the two
for the rest at the time the foal is
born. The value of the foal is GER
tainly worth far more than the
mares work during these two or
three weeks.
In the Gallatin valley, where the
general grade of horses is very high,
due to the continued use of good
sires, it is the general custom among
farmers to raise colts from mares that
do the farm work. These colts are
broken as two and threes and do
share of the work until they are sold
generally year or two later.
The bearing of a foal need not in

While the farmer has to be a bit care

strength and not to strain her, she is

work of the farm. There are many
instances of where mares were work.
ed to the very day of foaling, and
while this is extreme, still mare
does not require more than two or
three weeks off when she bears her
foal. A week before the foal is due,
the mare should be turned into pad l

the foal can be borne in safety. !
