MANY FEEBLEMINDED ARE

Butte.-Of the 1000 feebleL.i .inded
persons residing within Montana, only
105 can be accommodated and edu-
Gated at the state institution at Boul-
der, H. J. Menzemer. president of the
school. told the Butte Rotarians.
This deplorable condition" he said,
''has been induced by the failure of the
legislature to appropriate sufficient
funds with which to construct new
buildings or defray increased operating
expenses"
'At the present time said President
Menzemer, 1--WE are providing accom-
modations and an education for 105
feeblehinded persons. When our new
building is constructed we will admit
40 more, but we have 400 applications
for admittance in our files. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 1000 mental de-
linquents in Montana"
At least 100000 is needed for con-
struction of new buildings, the speaker
said, but the legislature refused to
make such an appropriation at tho
last session.

LIBERAL FEEDING FOR COWS
Animals Starting Into Winter in Thin
Condition Need Extra Care to
Nourish Calves.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Breeding cows that started Into the
winter In thin condition need extra
care and liberal feeding at this time
if they are to nourish their calves
properly and maintain their own bod
les satisfactorily. 1t is mistaken
idea of economy to starve through the
winter a COW that is to drop a calf
In the spring. Such practice not only
reduces the vitality of the COW but
dwarfs the growth of her offspring, be-
cause she is not able to nourish it
properly.
The COW should be provided with
liberal amount of silage, or legume hay
If no silage is available. A protein sup
plement In the form of velvet beans
or cottonseed meal should be provided
In addition to two or three pounds of
grain. Corn stover or straw may also
be used if available. at this time Of

The pecan is the largest of our
hickories, being native of the south

the rich, moist soils of river bottoms.
The black walnut grows west from

Its branches are stout and spreading,
forming a round-topped tree when

FALL WHEAT ACREAGE
Is ABOUT rs PER CENT
Much Of Fall Piowed Land in Montana
viii Be Seeded by Farmers
to Spring Grain

Helena.-Rajlroad commission IN
spectors have made an investigation
In Fergus, Cascade, Sanders, Ravalli
and GaIlatin counties to determine the
acreage of fall wheat sOwn as compar-
ed with other seasons. 1t was learned
that In Fergus the planting was about
70 per cent of normal, and that due
to the dry condition of the soil In the
fall. large acreage of plowed land
was left to be seeded In the spring.
BY cooperation of millers and grain
dealers there will be an ample amount
of seed for spring planting in the state.
In Cascade the winter wheat acreage is
not as large as usual but big spring
wheat acreage will be planted. Sanders
and RavalIi report from rs to 80 per
cent of the normal winter wheat has
been sown. Broadwater and Gallatin
also have in rs to 80 per cent of a
normal winter wheat acreage.
There will be thousands of acres in
the state which We're plowed for fall
sowing which will be planted in spring
wheat.

MEAN TO SERVE AS BEACON
Fulfilling Original Purpose
of Designer.

The statue of Liberty, in New York
harbor, is electrically illuminated
that is, so flooded with light as to be
rendered brightly visible at night.
Originally, however, the idea was
to make it serve as beacon, and for
this purpose the flame" of the lady's
torch was cut at the sides, the open
ings fitted with glass, and nine duplex
arc lamps placed inside.
Thus was obtained a light which,
upheld at a height of 305 feet above
the water, was visible "a miles out
at sea, or ten miles beyond the anchor
age of the outside lightship. Its main
tenance was assigned to the govern
ment lighthouse board.
But the lighthouse board declared
that 1t had little or no usefulness as
an aid TO navigation. its value being
purely sentimental. and in 1902 the
light was extinguished, the business
of Illuminating the statue being hand
ed over to the war department.

DIRIGIBLES SUGGESTED
TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES

Missoula.-The use Of dirigibles as
a means of fighting fires as well as
patrolling the government forests is
being investigated by local officials of
District No. l of the United States
forest service.
The idea that has been suggested is
that some means be provided for low
ering men from the dlrigibIes to fight
the fires. then raising them to go on
to the next fire. The ships would CO.

troll by means Of radio.
The plan has been suggested as hav-
ing some possibilities. The war de-
partment, which will provide scout
planes for patrol work, cannot fur
nish lighter-than-air machines. The
only government station for dirigibles
is the navy station at Pensacola, Fla.
The forest service will ask that In

Many Junior dairy clubs favor the
maintenance of bred heifers by their

relatively easy to handle while their
young owner gains experience In feed
Ing and caring for the young females

ASSETS IN MILK PRODUCTION
Large Flow of Blood indicates Diges-

1t is a well established fact that
milk is produced from the elements
carried to the udder by the blood. 1t
quantity of milk produced depends
largely on the amount of blood which
circuIates through the udder. 1t is
also self evident that large flow of
blood indicates that the digestive or

that. the heart is strong. Both of
these are very important assets In
