Causes Heavy Loss.

If various forms of radium are en- pioyed In the manufacture of luminous paint and for other mechanical pur- poses. there will naturally he heavy loss of the element. Watches, clocks or penkniveS on which radium is used are likely to be lost, mislaid or destroyed. when the supply Of the ele- ment becomes so widely distributed that the chances for recovering it would be slight.
 "It happens, however. that there are also manufacturers of luminous mate riais who are fin position to derive both rad!um and meSo-thorium from certain minerals, and they are inclined to set aside their radfum for medical purposes and to use the meso- thorium. which is chemically identified with radium, as q luminous material. Al though there has been some difference of opinion In the medical profession ns to the vaine of ra1ium i'll the treat ment of malndies. there is much to in- dlcate that it and radioactive sub stances generally have an important part in the practice of the healing art.S
 Dr. Miner also described at length yf,e uses of other rare earthS such as cerinm and asrconiuyn fin the arts and Sciences. He held out the prospect that some of them. which hitherto had been imported from Austria and Ger. many. could be obtained on limited scale from sources on the American continent.

NEED RAb|UM IN
 FIGHT 0N CANCER
Movement or Foot to Substitute Meso- Thorium in Making
 Luminous Materials.
MEDIGAL DEMAND IS GREAT
Physicians and Chemists Feel Tha& Everything Possible Should Be Done to Conserve Radiun for
 Therapeutic Purposes.

Schenectady, N. Y.--So great Is the demand for radium in the treatment of cancer and various malignant dis eases, that a movement is now on foot for withdrawing it as much as p0ssi- ble from the manufacture of luminous diaIs and other Industrial purposes, so that it may be employed entirely for the treatment of human ills.
 How this is being effected was told by Dr. Harlan S. Miner, a Philadel- phio chemist, who addressed the east ern section of the American Chemical society at Union college In this city.
 The substance advocated as a sub stitute is meso-thorium, a bvproduct obtained in the manufacture of thori- um, mineral which is extensively em- ployed in the manufacture of gas man. ties.
 Comes From erazii and India.
 The ores from which thorium Is made are imported largely from Bra gil and India, although there is a limited supply available in the United States. Meso-thorium can be seen at night and therefore is an ingredient Of the paint which is used in the mark fng of clock faces, watch dials and range finders which can be read in the dark. The demand for such ap- pliances in the trenches during the European war greatly stimulated their manufacture both here and abroad and although they are no longer miif- tary necessities they have an exten- siye vogue in these days of peace.
 ThGTiGm is itself radioactive, but Is chiefly valuable because when mixed with one or two per cent Of eerium oxide and heated 1t gives out power ful radiance. Its use is increasing be cause municipalities are accepting a heat unit rather than q candlepower standard for Illuminating gas. and the demand for mantles is likely to extend. Consequently the facilities for making the by-product meso-thori- um. which would not be commercially practical of itself are being augment ed.
 "Companies which are now mauu- facturing thorium." said Dr. Miner, 'have ever since 1914 been develop ing their outputs of meso-thorium, and there has been special activity along those lines in the last few months. The demand for radium in the treat ment of cancer and for other medical purposes is now so great that both and chemists feel that every thing possible should be done to con serve it exclusively for therapeutic If radium is kept in the large hospitals and sanitara for the relief of malignant diseases, if natur- ally will be held intact. The losses f. 3m it's emanations are so slight tha: lS can he used for centuries without any aiNreciable diminution ip its AS everything is being done by the medical profession to con centrate the supply in this way, the consensus is that it should be held where 1t will dc the most service to b,,rno ns+y

PRACTICAL HOG SUGGESTIONS

ment that the SOW will do all in her
power to make the little future pork
ers strong and thrifty, if chance is
given her by seeing that she gets:
The right kind of feed, especially
plenty of protein and mineral mat
ter.
The correct amount of feed = not
enough to over-fatten her.
Plenty of exercise.
Comfortable quarters; dry, en-
tilated and we'll lighted.
No sudden changes of feed.
No rough treatment.
Freedom from worms, lice and
constipation.
High-Protein Feeds
1t is very essential that during
pregnancy and the sucking period
the SOW be fed plenty of protein-rich
feeds, such as skim milk, buttermilk
or tankage, and plenty of mineral
matter, which is contained in these
protein feeds and especially in pas
ture crops, or which may be supplied
additionally.
These feeds are the muscle and
bone builders and are absolutely es-
sential in producing the right kind
of stock.
Make the SOW take exercise; this
is necessary for her own health as
we'll as for the production of a
strong litter. Shut her out of her
pen during the middle of the day and
feed her some distance from her
sleeping quarters.
Four or five days before a sow is
due to farrow (always keep a record
of date of breeding) separate her
from the rest of the herd, put her in
the narrowing pen so that she will
become accustomed to it before far
rowing; allow her exercise daily, and
be sure that the bowels are in a laxa-
tive condition. Some bran and oil
meal in a slop as part of her ration
will aid in preventing constipation.
Tenders for Pen
The two adjacent sides of the pen
in the corner where the SOW makes
her nest should be supplied with fen
ders; 2x8's bracked to the sides and
about s or 9 inches from the floor.
This is to furnish a refuge for the
newly-born pigs, so they will not be
squeezed against the wall or caught
under the mother.
At f~arrswine time he sure the

The greatest single factor in pro-
ducing more beef and better beef is
the sire used. In a herd the bull is
the sire of all the calves, so that he
has as much influence as all the
COWS. The ability to carry weight
and finish is a virtue not possessed
by the offspring of scrub bulls.
In 1919, from public stock yards
in Canada, were sold 525,649 cattle
cIassed as good" and 4O6,SS4 cat
tie classed as common" These fig
ures show that 43 per cen of the
cattle marketed during 1919. were
of common" grading. 1t is estim-
ated that these 4O6,S24 common"
cattle could have carried an addi-
tional zoe pounds of flesh, bringing
the average weight up to 1000, and
making a total additional weight of
91,366,8O0 lbs. At 13 IA cents per
pound, the average price, this would
have brought $12,106,101. If, be-
sides making additional gains, these
cattle had graded good" in quality,
the original weights of the animals
$500 bs.) would also have been
worth 10 IA cents per pound; a to-
tai possible increase On the 406,834
common" cattle of 11,196,0 OH, due
entirely to quality. The total addi-
tional reVenue from better weight
and quality due to better feeding and
breeding, would have totaled $685.
302,172.
Over 4,0OO,O 900 hoofs were requir-
ed to carry the live meat supply to
the Dominion public markets in 1919.
Had the scrub bull been eliminated
five years back and better feeding
methods practiced rel the same Pc
riod, this meat supply could have
been marketed on 100000 hoofs.
There would have been a saving of
over 25 per cent of the feed required
since the most economical gains are
made by good quality cattle. The
average weight per animal marketed
in 1919 was 500 pounds, whereas it
would have been possible to have OBJ
tanned an average weight of at least
1000 pounds, per animal, which
would mean the elimination of rs
per cen of the 100000 hoofs re-
ferred to above.

Dairying is a type of farming
best adapted to the timbered Sec
tions of western Montana. Most
of the land can be converted into
pasture at very little expense and
dairy cows will yield a splendid
profit from the land without the
necessity of removing the stumps,
although a sufficient acreage must
be put under the pillow to supply
winter feed. In connection with
dairying, hogs and poultry should
take an important part. All fruits.

The October crop report for Mon
tana, issued by F. w. Beier of the
United States bureau of crop esti-
mates, indicates that the small grain
crop will be more than double that
of last year, with corresponding re-
turns for the hay. corn, and potato
crops. The preliminary estimates
show 19,994,000 bushels of wheat,
16,150,000 bushels of oats, and l.
$4,000 bushels of barley.
Wheat
The preliminary estimate places
the winter wheat crop at ~4,634,000
bushels from an average yield of IA
bushels. Last years crop was esti-
mated at 100000 bushels. The
five-year average 1914-18 is 12,418,-
900 bushels and the average yield Is
bushels.
The spring wheat crop is estimated
at $4,000 600 bushels in the pre-
liminary estimate from a yield of IL
bushels. Last years crop was esti-
mated at 7,716,000 bushels from a
yield of AT bushels. The f~ive-year
average crop is 1904, 600 bushels
and the average yield is 16.5 bushels.
The best yields have been reported
from the central, southern and west
ern parts of the state.
From the reports received it is
found that % per cent of the wheat
crop had been marketed on October
1. The movement from the farms
varied over the state, due to the
date of harvest. The financial con-
dition of the producers also had a
tendency to graduate the movement,
as there developed a tendency to hold
the crop during the later part of the
month where the grower was able
to do so.
The oat crop proved to be rather
spotted, but the preliminary estimate
places the crop at 16,140,000 bushels
with a yield of 80 bushels. The esti-
mate for last year was $1,000 0 bu-
shells from a yield of 10 bushels. The
five year average 1914-18 is 21,766,-
600 bushels and the average yield
35 bushels.
Barley
The preliminary report for the
barley crop is 100000 bushels With
a yield slightly over 81 bushels. Last
years crop was estimated at 540,-
900 bushels from a yield of six bu-
shells. The five-year average crop
is 2,155,000 bushels.
Potatoes
The condition of the potato crop
showed an increase of one per cent
during September. The condition of
II per cent forecasts a crop of A.
100000 bushels, as compared with
2,820,0 bushels last year. The
five year average crop 1914-18 is
5,653,000 buhels. The crop is late
this year, but was favored by excel
lent weather for maturing during
September. Harvesting has com
menced in the principal commercial
sections. The quality of the crop in
the Helena section is good. The
Flathead section reports an increas-
ed acreage over last year.
Flax
The flax crop showed a condition
of 35 per cent, the same as Septem-
Der 1, which indicates a crop of l.,
10000 bushels compared with 697,-
900 bushels last year and a five-year
average of 2,301,00 bushels. Sep

HIDDEN PROFIT
OF The DAIRY
MADE BUTTER AND TURNED HIS
BY PRODUCTS INTO FAT,
MARKETABLE HOGS
Started With 10 Cows, and Paid Off
an Indebtedness of Thousands of
Dollars; Kept General Purpose,
Dual Type of Cows, Good for Milk
and Meat Production.

Years ago, when dairying was
looked upon by most farmers as a
sort of woman's job-or at least,
mostly as a source of milk and butter
supply for the family - a certain
farmer kept 10 to Is mixers. He
did the most of the actual milking of
the cows himself, as the hired help
were apt to skimp the job. | remem-
Der, among other things, how closely
the old man used to milk his COWS;
he would strip away until apparently
the last drop had been extracted from
the udder.
Cash Sales
The neighbors all knew that this
man not only had all the milk, cream
and butter his family could eat, but
that he sold considerable butter to
help pay the grocery bills. He also
had a nice bunch of calves to sell oc-
casionally, although he was more
likely to hold them till they were
three or four years old, feeding them
out for the market. Gle kept the
general-purpose, dual type of COWS,
good for both milk and meat produc-
tion.)
What this mans neighbors did
not recognize, however, was the
huge profits he piled up each year
through what might be termed 'by-
products" from his ~dairying. AS he
sold nothing but butter, he had an
immense supply of skim-milk and
butter-milk at hand. These he fed
to his young, growing pigs, of which
he always kept a goodly supply. De-
veloping them to a good size by feed
ing them his dairy by-products, he
would include grain in their ration
for a few weeks, when he would fin
ish a nice bunch of hogs for the mar
ket. This gave him a finished pro-
duct at a minimum cost of produc-
tion.
"InvisibIe" Profits
Another Invisible" profit realized
by this farmer-dairyman was that Of
keeping up the fertility of his soil
through returning to the land the
elements which had been extracted
from it in producing the feed given
his dairy COWS. This was accom-
plished by keeping the manure from
the dairy stalls cleaned out and
