WHY THIS haste?

just why Montana bankers should be
compelled to rush the cash for all of
their subscriptions to the Liberty loan
isA not clear. This money is being
taken from the western to the eastern
banks. where it will be accumulated
until it is needed.
That. it appears to us, is not good
business: certainly, it is not good for
| Montana or the west. A bank in
Missoula. for instance, as is the case,
subscribed $4,000 for bonds for this
loan The right procedure would be
for the bank to send this money as it
Is needed. 1t is absurd Of course, to
think that all will be expended at once
since there is no immediate demand for
it, Why should it be piled up in east
ern banks to the detriment OF the
west? The sending of 1t to the east
ern banks means that during the in
terval that it is not used loans for
customers may be curtailed by the
banks.
Last week at a meeting with seventy
New York bankers. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo. stated that no diff
ficulty would be experienced in financ-
ing the governments requirements and
without disturbing the business of the
country in the slightest. These sew
enty bankers assured the secretary
that the country was we'll able to fl
nance the war. Assuming that this
view is correct IT may be well argued
that the war should be financed with a
fair distribution OF burden. Since the
country is depending upon the west for
its food supplies. We think that the
money should be kept in the banks
here until it is really needed.

MY LIGHT WITH
YOURS

When the sea has devoured the ships
And the spires and the towers
Have gone lUlck to the hills,
And all the cities
Are one with the plains again;
And the beauty of bronze
And the strength Of steel
Arc blown over silent continents
AS the desert sand Is blown
My dust with yours forever.
When folly and wisdom are no more,
And fire is no more,
Because man is no more:
When the dead world slowly spinning
Drifts and falls through the void
My light with yours
In the Light of Lights forever.

The Wrong Way TO Spend Money.

Some economic follies die hard and
not the least Of these is that it is an
act of gracious condescension for tho
rich to spend their money. The other
day a Seattle girl, daughter Of one of
the wealthiest men in that city. in de-
Tense of the extravaganza OF herself
and her associates, declared that she
was doing her fun duty toward society
when she put her fathers money in
circulation and kept it there.
Spending money freely does not
really add to the amount of money in
circulation. That amount is controlled
by business laws. The rich man puts
his surplus cash in the bank, and il he
does not spend it somebody else does.

the money moving.-Thc Mineral Inde-

Hot afternoons have been the rule
this week. but it has been just as hot
up the Rattlesnakc valley as in the
city districts. according to a promi-
nent forestry man, who had the OPP
portunity to compare the climate of the
two sections. There is, he says, little
dust in the city, while the Rattlesnake
road. after a few days of sunshine and
heavy travelling is.
The gentleman in question was
scheduled to deliver lecture at the
Whittier school. but had only hazy
idea Of where that institution Of higher
learning might be found. Finally he
concluded that the school up the Rat
tlesnake was the right one. and board.
ed car bound in that direction. When
he reached the end of the car line. he
found that he would have to walk n
mile and q half to the school building.
Finally he reached the school building
up the valley. and found that IT was
the Lincoln. instead of the Whittier.
Literally anointed with Rattlesnake
dust, and weary from n three mile
walk under the broiling sun, the lee
turer finally reached the car which
took him back to the city. He unani-
mously voted to postpone the lecture
until another day.

BEWARE OF GAReET IN EWES
Common Trouble at Landing Time and
Should Be Given Immediate At
tention-Some Causes.

Ry T. c. STONE, Ohio State University.
College Of Agricultural
Garget, or Inflammation OF the ewes
udder, is a common trouble at lamb
ing time, and it should be given imme-
date attention. The udders of heavy
milking ewes are likely to become in
famed and as a result the eve may
have milk fever. Overlooking Of grain,
colds, chills, and lying on wet floors
are some of the causes Of this condi-
ton. When discovered, the ewes I'd
der should be bathed with hot water
by means Of wooden cloths. After the
udder has been dried, it can be rubbed
with turpentine and lard, or with one
half ounce Of lead acetate dissolved in
one quart of water. The udder should
be kept wet with acetate for half a
day. 1t should be MIXED out thor
Oughly each time the application is
made. 1t is also advisable to give the
eve a good dose Of epson salts as soon
as the trouble is noticed.

SQUADS RAISED FOR MARKET
Birds Should Be Graded According to
Size and Quality-Pack in Cracked
Ice, Breasts Up.

Squads should be graded according
to size and quality, as dark-colored
and small squads tend to lower the
price paid for an entire shipment of
mixed squads. They are usually
packed for shipment in a good supply
of cracked ice, breasts up, with par
ATTN paper between each layer of ice
and squads. Some express companies
have a special rate for squad ship
ments, which should be secured wher-
ever possible. The express charges on
small shipments of squads reduce the
profit materially, making it difficult to
sell the squads from q small flock at
a profit if they have to be shipped to
commission men. AS the period at
which a squad is right for market is
not over one week, it is necessary to
have a gOOd-sized flock to have over
one dozen squads ready for market at

are still the chief reliance. The prop-
er breeding, maintenance, and employ
ment of these animal engines is a prob
lem Of the greatest Importance to the
farmer.
Speciality Business.
As q source Of cash income, the
keeping OF live stock in many sections
is what is known as a speciality bust
ness. In dairy districts it is the main
activity, and every phase of farm man
agement is determined by its interests.
Where the principal purpose of live
stock feeding, however, is to maintain
soil fertility, farms which rely on live
stock for the main source of their in
come will tend to become breeding
centers for purebred animals to be dis
tributed through the surrounding coun-
try for breeding purposes on those
farms on which only limited amount
OF live stock is kept. The production
Of purebred animals is a highly spe-
cialized business, and only the most
skilled animal husbandmen can make
a success Of it.
The fifth function which Mr.. Rom
mel ascribes to live stock on the farm
is not so directly connected with prob
lens of income but it is nevertheless
Of vital Importance. Experience has
shown that nothing tends more strong
~ to create and maintain an interest
in farm life among boys and girls than
the care Of animals. 1t is essential to
the continued prosperity of this coun-
try that young people should be en-
couraged to make farming their vOca-
ton in life. Those who have devoted
themselves to this work have found
that among their most effective aids
are the poultry, calf, and pig clubs.
High Cost of Living.
That the neglect of live stock re-
suits in increasing the cost of living
on the farm and in lowering the stand
ard of that living is a fact well known
to all agricultural authorities. For
example, the annual meat bill OF farm
ers for some states is enormous. The
meat purchases are made largely on
credit, and the proceeds of the years
crop are mostly consumed in meeting
debts incurred during its production.
This practice is obviously antagonistic
to thrift and proper prosperity. The
production of homegrown food does
not involve in the least the limitation
OF the crop output OF the farm. It
simply requires planning and a little
more careful management. A COW or
two to furnish the family with milk,
butter and cheese, and flock Of chick
ems to furnish poultry and eggs, will
do much to make farm fare more
healthfuI and cheaper.
