TAXPAYERS WOULD BE FOOLISH TO TURN
THEM DOWN.

~,LAYMoNT and smyrna will decide at special elections
u that arc being held this afternoon whether they
shall have new and up-to-date school buildings.
In each Of the districts the iaxabes vote in favor OF
issuing bonds for school building purposes the Delaware
school Auxiliary will make large contribution to assist
in meeting The construction expense.
In Caymont It is proposed that the district shall issue
$4,000 Of bonds to which the school Auxiliary viii add
1890
In Smyrna II is proposed that the district shall issue
$4,000 Of bonds and receive from the school Auxiliary
$4,000.
Each district should give an overwhelming majority
for the loan which with the gift from the School Auxl-
aary will do much to bring It's educational facilities
abreast OF the times.
1t will be like finding money for Caymont TO receive
si25OOO and Smyrna TO receive 100000.
The taxpayers would be foolish, indeed. TO turn dowr
such generous gifts.

In these days OF restricted public
luying. it is especially essential
hat the principles OF thrift be stud
ed carefully.
It must ever be borne in mind that
rue thrift is constructive, not de-
stluctive.
Misguided advice may lead TO mis-
guided practices, and mere ha-
anguingag8inst spending money may
cad to false practices Of thrift that
VIII impede progress. Real thrift, the
greater thrift Of upbuilding and ad-
vancement, must be understood be-
fore it can be practiced intelligently,
and This Is the reason why Its en-
cOuragement is essentially an educa-
tional matter and why all thrift in-
spiratlOnal work should be conducted
along educational lines.
To be thrifty one must, first of all,
eliminate waste; hence our time. our
energies and our money should be
utilized in ways involving the small
est amount of waste.
The idle men and idle factories in
America today do not reflect condi-
lions Of thrift, although the respon-
sibflity for these conditions may be
attributed largely TO restricted buy
ing. This does not mean, however,
that the rubic should again plunge

REQUISITES FOR
CHICKEN RAISING

The enthusiasm with which many
poultry raisers, particularly begin
ners, start in the spring with young
chicks sometimes lags as the season
advances and the chicks get old
enough to shift for themselves. If
care is neglected at this period, how
ever, success is improbable. The
baby chicks may be smart little fell
lows from strong, vigorous, parent
stock, and they hay nave been
brooded carefully for the first two
or three weeks, but unless they re-
ceive proper care and management
during their later growing period
they will not develop properly, and
many of them will be lost by sick
ness and disease.
The chief essentials to the proper
growth of chicks, and their quick ma
turity, are good coops, or houses
cleanliness, proper feed and water
shade and free range. Growing
chicks should be provided with large
roomy cOops or houses, which viii
give them a comfortable place ia stay
at night and during stormy weather
The bulletin suggests no particular
kind of house, but states it should b.
so built that it will provide the
chicks with plenty of light, pure ali
and sunshine, and protect them from
dampness and storms of all kinds
1t should be arranged so that it cal
be cleaned easily and frequently
which is very important.
Chicks should never be crowded il
brood coops for crowding will caus
them to become overheated, resultin,
in improper growth and some time
in dead chicks. A good house can b
built from a dry goods box or
piano box, which can be covered wit
tar paper, the total cost being small
| Sickness or disease usually start
in unclean quarters and in sue
places lice and mites are AWAY
more plentiful, the bulletin says. Tt

fence in helping start cooperative

this was insufficient capital and 9TH

Most of the farmers at the meet
ing, which lasted some two hours,
were forced to go and so the meet
ing adjourned. The five men select
ed for commissioners will probably
make a really comprehensive survey
of the dairy conditions of the valley,
where most of the COWS are center

of procedC.se before the next melting

project want something definite to
offer.

FARM BUREAU ORGANIZER
TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK

C. w. Pollock, organizer for the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
will be in Bozeman on Saturday,
April 9, to confer with the college
people and local farm bureau heads
regarding an organization campaign
which will be started in Montana
later in the summer after the early
work of the season is finished. Mr..
Pollock has had extensive experience
in organization work and at the meet
ing to be held here Saturday will lay
plans for work later in the summer.
Coming from the east, Mr.. Pollock is
familiar with the work being accomp-
lished by the farm bureau in the way
of national legislations and his eff
forts to perfect the federation work
in Montana should meet with hearty
response.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1921-04-06

coops should be cleaned and sprayed
once a week, and clean shavings,
chaff or sand put on the floor. Ex-
anime the chicks and houses often
for lice and mites, and if found they
should be gotten rid Of at once. Farm
ers' Bulletin lilo gives directions for
fighting lice and mites.
The three kinds of feeds most ne
cessary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed, and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night
and morning, giving as large a guam
tity as the chicks will eat clean, but
no more. A good mixture for grow
ing chicks consists Of three parts Of
cracked corn, two parts wheat, and
two parts hulled oats. Kaffir corn or
rolled or hulled barley may be sub
stituted for hulled oats A supply of
fresh green feed is almost as neces-
sary as grain for growing chicks.
They obtain plenty of it if they have
free range, but if kept in confine-
ment, lawn grass, beet tops, cabbage
lettuce or other such green feed
should be supplied regularly.
A dry mash should be kept before
growing chicks at all times after
they are three or four weeks old. It
is best to feed it in a hopper inside
the building, or where it will not be
exposed to rain or wet. The bulletin
suggests the following mash: Two
pounds corn meal, two pounds mid
dlings, one pound oatmeal, two pounds
wheat bran, one pound beef scrap and
one-quarter pound charcoal.
Grit and oyster shells should be
provided so the checks may help
themselves whenever they wish.
When sour milk can be obtained il
should also be kept before the chicks
as no feed is regarded better for
r them. When this is given the amount
= Of beef scrap in the dry mash may
!, be reduced one-half. Plenty of fresh
, clean water is absolutely necessary
2 and in hot weather it should be pro,
!, vided twice daily in dishes that have
j been thoroughly cleaned.

FARMERS HOPE FREEZE
KILLED OFF HOPPERS

Miles City-Farmers of Custer
county are hoping that the recent
cold snap killed off myriads of young
grasshoppers that infested the fields
during the previous mild weather.
Ordinarily the grasshoppers do not
appear until in May or June, but the
unusually warm weather early in the
season apparently FASTENED their
Matching. Farmers are confident that
if another freeze or two comes along
the alternate thawing and freezing
will kill the hoppers already Matched
and kill the germs in the eggs not
yet Matched.

RYE ON TEST
PRODUCES BIG YIELD

Boulder-Following a yield of 81
bushels last year from one acre
planted to Rosen rye, Theo Schuele,
Montana City, has planted 65 acres in
the same variety. The seed was plant
ed last fall and indications are that
it will do well this year. AS yet,
however, Mr.. Schuele is not ready to
indorse the rye for all conditions in
Montana, but prefers to wait until
he has absolute proof.
