CONDITIONS ARE SOUND.


1t is apparent that a Fundamental
change in conditions is going on.
Trade is slackening and prices are
falling all over the world. While a
boom is on and prices are rising, peo-
Pile anticipate their wants, they over
buy, dealers carry more goods than
usual and manufacturers carry more
materials thap usual. The railroads
have been congested with traffic, de-
liveries have been slow, and this has
been another reason for carrying heav-
Ter stocks. Speculation on the part of
Intermediates also has been a factor
in magnifying the demand for goods.
Working capital was absorbed by the
higher inventories and the temptation
was strong to enlarge business opera
tons, frequently by fixed investments.
Such times are favorable also to all
kinds of new proposals. There, is an
appearance of scarcity in everything;
all of the old facilities and services
appear TO have been outgrown.
But when the crest is passed, and
the public is convinced that the course

prising how many goods are found to
be in stock and how-ample all the ia
cilities and services appear to be, No
body wants to buy anything or build

new scheme. For a time there is the
appearance of deadlock; we have

Manufacturers Record, is a monstros-,

Never has the nation possessed the
assets of prosperity in so abundant
volume as now. Our crops are boun-
teous, and they are the final measure
of new wealth. In terms of cotton,
wheat and corn We are far and away
richer than we were a year ago. The
transportation system, after years of
starving, is beginning to take vigor
from nourishing policies. We have

world, in volume enough to furnish
credits for transacting the business
of tho world, if economically and not
prodigally employed. We have less
social unrest than any other people
and are superior to the mechanical
facilities which make for quick and
excellent production.
The worlds wants are tremendous
and many of, them we alorrs> are able
to fill. Millions have been voted for
public improvements. municipal, state
and federaI-enough to provide work
for thousands of men for many
months to come. both on the high
ways and in the factories. The ma
tons housing requirements alone are
enough to keep the forces of construc-
ton busy for three years at least, and
billions must be spent. There is a
real need for the products of every
lumber mill, of every textile estab-
lishment. of every steel plant. of every
factory turning out essentials, Every
material factor that enters into the
equation of prosperity is present in
America today.

Always in Demand

There is an insistent demand for
the liberal milking Shorthorn COW
that combines the usual breed ten
dency to beef production also. The
call goes unsatisfied because the de-
mand exceeds the present supply. 1t
is an inviting field. Shorthorn breed
ers will do we'll to pay close attention
to the milking qualities of their cows.
This is an inherent breed character
istic and one that the farmers desire
most to obtain-this beef and milk
combination. No other breed has
such record of performance in this
dual field. The farmers do we'll to
incline to the Shorthorn because of
the adaptability to farm conditions.
The quiet temperament, the ability to
thrive on the ordinary farm rough
age, the favor in which they are held
at the markets and the performance
at the pail, if given attention in that
line, makes the Shorthorn the ideal
bovine investment for the farm in all
parts of the country.

NO ANGLE WORMS OR
SPARROWS IN MONTANA
In THE PIONEER DAYS

1t remained for the white man to
introduce not only fire water" but
the English sparrow and angle worm
to Montana, according to tradition
of pioneers.
Every Montana pioneer can re-
member when there were no spar
rows in the state. Various theories
and stories have been advanced to ex-
plain how the English sparrow was
first brought to Montana. Some per-
sons contend that the first Montana
sparrows hatched out of eggs brought
into the state, while others maintain
that the ancestors of the thousands
of sparrows now inhabiting this state
were prisoners in box cars and ar
rived with the first freight train.
When the white man first invaded
Montana, he discovered that no angle
worms were to be found in the soil.
to one story, some army
officers desired angle worms for fish
bait. Unable to procure any in Mon
tana, they sent east for the bait, but
the Montana trout, not being ac-
quainted with that fish delicacy, re-
fused to bite.
According to oldtimers, however,
the angle worm entered in a ship
ment of fruit trees to Park county In
1888. Until that time the worm was
unknown in Montana.

ShOrthorn Prizes

The American Shorthorn Breeders
Association invites the attention OF
all Shorthorn breeders to the very
large amount offered for cash Short
horn prizes for the current year. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
has been appropriated by the Short
horn association and in addition to
that the various fair and show ap-
preparations make a total around
100000 for Shorthorns. Certainly
this generous amount-far in excess
of any prize appropriation ever Of
fered before, by any breed organiza-
tion-should encourage Shorthorn
owners to prepare for the show con-
tests. There is a greater advantage,
too, in the prestige one gains by
showing a few creditab1e representa-
tives of the herd. 1t creates busi-
ness. The inducements ARE calcu-
lated to stimulate Shorthorn activity
on a still broader scale.

CHEAPER FREIGHT
TO AID MONTANA
OLD, UNJUST LONG-HAUL PLAN
THAT HELPED COAST POINTS
UNFAIRLY TO GO
Recent Meeting of Interstate Com
merce Commission at Spokane Is
Shortly to Result in Doing Away
With Unequal Rates that Have
Long Hurt Montana.

Cheaper freight rates for Butte
and other Montana cities as the re-
suit of readjustments to be made by
the interstate commerce commission,
which met last week in Spokane,
were predicted at the Butte Rotary
club by E. H. Lang, traffic manager
of the A. c. M. company.
''The old, unjust, long-haul plan,
which permitted Seattle and other
merchants on the Pacific coast to
ship goods from eastern trade CEN
ters at lower rates than can be OBJ
tanned by local dealers, promises to
be eliminated through the introduc-
tion of the coming SYSTEM said Lang
in telling of the hearing conducted
by the commission in Spokane which
he attended. "This SYSTEM he said,
''has been in effect in the eastern
states for years, and will probably
be introduced in the west as the re-
suit of the commissions findings. 1t
will not only guarantee lower rate
for Montana shippers, but will also
maintain the present receipts of car
riers"
The final hearing of the series con-
Quoted by the interstate commerce
commission in New York, Chicago,
Spokane, San Francisco and Salt
Lake was held in Washington May "a
he said.
The new rates were put into effect
by the commission before the final
hearing in Washington. Present in
dications, he said, point to a rate in
crease of "a per cent in western ter
ritory, particularly affecting the Pa
cific states. 1t is the equalization of
these rates that will prove particular
ly advantageous to Montana busi-
ness men.

Farm poultry production should be
tions of Montana, and the care of
poultry can be compared in many res
poets with the growing of corn. Both
crops require an early start and must
have intensive care during the grow
ing season.
After the corn is planted and the
farmer has assured himself that a
good stand has been secured, the next
consideration is to see that the crop
is we'll tended. Purebred seed corn, a
carefully prepared seed bed and the
planting at the proper season are all
important, but unless the crop can be
carefully plowed and tended during
the growing season, the finest pros
poets for a big yield may result in
only a few inferior nubbins at har-
vest time.
Likewise the responsibility of the
poultry keeper does not end when
the chicks have been hatched. The
months of growth are fully as i'm
portant to the poultryman as to the
corn grower, and the same careful
tending is necessary with growing
pullets to insure a future heavy egg
Weld as is required with growing
corn to produce an abundance of
grain.
Get Good Stock and Handle 1t Well
Poultry keepers have come to gen.
orally recognize the importance of
pure strains of breeding stock and
are paying more and more attention
to the selection of breeders from the
heavy laying strains. The demand
for eggs and stock from trapnested
strains far outstrips the supply at
the present time, and it is encourag-
ing to note that many of these de-
mands are coming from farm poultry
keepers.
March and April Matching has been
widely advocated during the last few
years, and a general tendency toward
earlier Matching is very evident.
All of the above practices tend to
make poultry more productive, and
the next logical step is to see that the |
pullets are so handled dur
ing the growing months that they |
will make the best possible develop |
nent If the chicks are held back or |
,tunted at any time during the grow
ng season they will never grow into
heavy producers. Many of the Gull |
lens which are so abundant in some |
locks are the result of pullets having
1een dwarfed and held back during |
he growing season-by overcrowd-
ng, underfeeding or other unfavor-
lble methods of handling.
Avoid Crowding the Young Chicks

Usually comes to grief, and in like

Wherever possible the growing
