REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTER
STUMPS ADMINISTRATION
Filbuster Is Effort to Frustrate Attempts to Give
Wilson Unlimited Authority to Handle Interna-
tional Situation" Says Senator Smoot

! WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-A republi-
can filibuster begun yesterday is in
full swing in both houses today, and
will probably force an extra session
of congress.
The uncompromising filibuster
against the passage of all legislation
presented by the administration is
direct effect to frustrat attempts to
give President Wilson unlimited au-
thority to handle the international sit
uation after the close of congress-"
said Senator Reed Smoot of Utah.
The republicans oppose the move to
empower the president to lead the
country into a virtual state OF war
without consulting congress. Dis
aster might result" Senator Smoot
said.
1t is understood that the filibuster
may be withdrawn if the president
abandons his intention of securing
further authority.
Postmaster General Burleson care
fully studied the filibuster situation
today and has made a report to the
president. He strongly intimated that
President Wilson may address a joint
session to make his position clear
before the nation.
Officers of the administration fear
that Germany may misunderstood the
congressional situation
Republican leaders charge that
President Wilson is attempting in a
high-handed manner to push congress
aside.
The trouble began yesterday wherE
the majority rejected an amendment
modifying the excess profits tax pro-
vision of the revenue measure There
was conference presided over by
Senator Lodge and participated in by
leaders of both wings of the reDub-.
lican party, including Senators PEN
rose, Smoot, Weeks and Brandegee of
he regulars and La Toilette, Poin-
lexter and Norris of the progressive
group.
Returning to the floor the repub-
leans began taking up time, speak,
ng one after another for hours on
jerfunctory amendments, while the
democrats in charge OF
he revenue bill listened helplessiy.
10 progress was made during the
lay or at 9 session lasting far into

The spirit of militarism is
now sweeping the country in
every direction. Even the
women of the nation are pre-
pairing so they will be of use in
the event of war. This is partly
evidenced in the accompanying
pictures. Here we see 'rookies"
of the American Woman's
League for Self Defence being
drilled in the art of rifle shoot
ing in one of New York's armOr-
les. More than two hundred
recruits have joined this league
since President Wilson an
nounced his break with Ger
many, increasing the member
ship of the organization to more
than five hundred.

|CREAMERIES INCREASE
II PER CENT IN YEAR
STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER
ISSUES ANNUAL. REPORT
Number of Cheese Factories Tripled
in IL Months; High Feed Prices
Fail to Hold Back Growth of In
dustry; promoters" Thwarted.

Dairy cows, creameries and cheese
factories are on the increase in Mon
tana, according to the report of State
Dairy Commissioner A. G. Scholes,
who states that milk and cream from
1912 cows r being supplied to SIS
creameries and six cheese factories
in Montana. This is an increase of
eight creameries and four cheese fac
tories over last year.
II think this is a very creditable
increase after considering the ad-
verse conditions the dairy farmers
have had to contend with, namely,
the quarantine because of the foot
and mouth disease, and the high
prices of grains and feeds used by
the dairymen," says Mr.. Scholes.
The state commissioner tells of the
efforts to start creameries by promo
tiers which have been thwarted by he
activities of the department.
In speaking of the work of the
commissioner and his deputies, Fluhr
and Arthur, Mr.. Scholes says in most
cases the farmers have welcomed
them and upon learning how much
a creamery plant actually costs, and
comparing this with the price asked
by the promoter, they readily saw
the department had saved them con-
siderable money.

Investigations made by the depart
ment of agriculture indicate that the
cost of raising a heifer on a northern
dairy farm is about SCI at the end
of her second year. Thus it appears
that the dairy farmer is losing money
if his heifers are not worth more than
$50 when two years old. The atten-
ton given the heifer during the first
ten weeks of it's life will often de-
eide whether as a two year old it will
be a we'll developed animal worth
considerably more than $50 or in
stead a sickly, stunted one which will
never be worth that amount. The
dairyman will find it greatly to his
advantage to take the very best pos
sible care of his calves from the very
beginning.
Care of the Calf.
Immediately after birth the navel
of the calf should be washed with an
a%ntiseptic solution and tied with a
silk thread in order to prevent in
lection. For the first feed the calf
should have the first milk from the
COW after calving and should have its
mothers milk for several feeds
thereafter. The sooner the weaving
takes place the BETTER but ordinarily
it should not be postponed later than
the fourth day. When first fed from
the pail. two feeds, each of four or
five pounds of milk fresh from the
COW, are sufficient. The feeding
times should be as regular as posi-
BILE. The important thing at this
time is to keep the digestive system
of the calf in good working order.
Calf scours Ia the most common indi-
cation of an upset digestive system.
To prevent scours, feed regularly; be
sure the milk is always sweet and
warm; use only clean pals in feed
ing; feed a little less than the cali
wants. II scours app ar reduce the
amount Of milk one half.
Feed the Calf Grain.
The amount of milk fed can grad.
ually be increased until at the end OF
the second week the calf receives
from IA to 16 pounds of milk per
day. At this time the gradual sub.
stitution of skim for whole milk may
commence. Hay and grain should
also be placed before the calf at this
period and it will be found to nibble
at these a little. At the end of the
third week the substitution of skim
for whole milk should be complete
BY small changes the milk can be in.
creased until 20 pounds a day are
fed, which will be sufficient when fed
with grain and hay.
Corn meal, bran, and oil meal
mixed in the proportions of three
two, and n make an excellent grair
mixture. This grain when fed with
plenty of fine alfalfa or clover hay

prive him of eligibility for re-elec-
ton. AS no n qualified for the

stole a ride on the top of a passenger

dinner at Mr.. Wolverton's home. The
hen escaped from the express mes
senger on the train and flew on top
of the ar, from which she refused to
come down. When Butte was reached
no more was seen of the fowl until
she was grabbed from the rods at
Livingston. Betty" played the part
of the hobo we'll. Except for a froz-

worse for the 25O-mile trip.

RABBITS
AND HOW TO TRAP EN-

Cottontail rabbits are to be found
in nearly all pa, 8 of Montana and
are especially abundant in the thick
cts and brushy areas along small
streams. Sometimes they become so
numerous as to be a pest, especially
to orchards and gardens, and under
such conditions trapping offers n
method of reducing their numbers.
During the fall and winter months
the flesh of the c%ottontail is excellent
and is looked upon by many as equal
to any of the game birds in flavor
and texture. On many farms by a
very small effort rabbits 1could be
caught and used for the table to &C.
casionally break the monotony of the
beef and pork menus that generally
predominant during the winter
months.
Whether rabbits are to be des-
troyed as pests or caught for food a
simple and easy way of catching
them is by the use of the eve tile
trap. Set a IL x 6 inc h "tee" sewer
tile with one long end downward, and
bury it so that the six inch opening at
the side is below the surface of the
ground. Connect two lengths of six
inch sewer pipe horizontally with the
side opening. Cover the joints with
soil so as to exclude light. Provide a
tight removable cover such as an old
harrow disc for the top of the large
tile. The projecting end Of the small
tile is then surrounded with rocks,
brush or wood, SO as to make the
hole look inviting to rabbits and to
encourage them to frequent the den.
Rabbits, of course, are free to 60 in
or out of these dens which should be
constructed in promising spots in the
farm or orchard.
In capturing the rabbits a dog can
soon be trained to indicate the inhab-
tied dens or even to chase the rab-
bits into them. When a den in found
with a rabbit in it the outlet is closed
with a disc of wood or the dog guards
the opening. The cover is then lifted
and. the RABBIT captured by hand.
Such traps are especially suited
for rather open lands and prairies
where natural hiding places are not
too abundant. They. are permanent
and cost nothing for repairs from
year to year. If it is desired to poi
son rabbits, the bait may be placed
inside of these traps, out of the way
of domestic animals and birds.

ABOUT TRAPS
(By p. F. Vesey.)

Some trap for pleasure, some for
gain. In either case efficiency must
be their keyword to success. No
chain is stronger than it's weakest
link, whether it be a trap-chain or
otherwise.
Efficiency in trapping must NEAR a
love for the woods and streams; a
love that grows on m from boyhood,
and makes n long to know and
handle the animals that abound in
such places.
Experience counts a lot, but a ma
tural born trapper takes an early in
terest in studying the habits and
ways of all birds and animals.
He should possess a tender heart,
that he may learn to trap them in
the most humane way; a brain pa
tient enough to match his cunning
against theirs; ambition and clean
ness enough to do a neat job at skin
ming and stretching.
He will dry his skins in a cool
place, for he we'll knows that one lit
tie slip will cut in half the price of
the silkiest fur.
Last, but not least, he will know
to whom he ships his catch. The
biggest bait catches the biggest suck
err, and deficiency" does not spell
sucker" The effect is what counts.
Some trap for pleasure,
Some for gain.
Efficiency applied to either
Means the same.
A natural born trapper
Loves the woods and streams.
He knows the ways of all the beasts,
And sees them in his dreams:
He longs to handle them,
And watch them at their play;
He learns to trap them
In the most humane way.
His brain is patient to match
His cunning against theirs;
For all good trappers
Must be patient strayers.
SHINING and stretching skins
Is an artists work;
In either matter
You must lever shirk
For no trap-chain is stronger
Than it's weakest link.
And a very little carelessness,
Will spoil the primest mink.
Dry all hides and furs
In a good cool place,
Never hang them near the fire
In any case.
Last but not least.
Beware to whom you ship
There's many people buying
Who would give a guy the slip.
I've found out by experience.
And l hand it to you, Mate,
That when they fish for suckers
Thew dangle good big bait.
