1900 SPANISH WAR VETS
EXPECTED AT REUNION

Fred w. Wheaton Camp, United
Spanish War Veterans, Of KaIispelI.
is making extensive ARRANGEMENTS
for the entertainment of the Spanish
War Veterans at their state encamp-
ment to be held at K%alispell on June
%, "a and %. The railroads have
made a special reduced rate on the
certificate plan, from all points in
Montana.
Among other features for the en-
campment, they propose having a roll
call by Captain Sam Hilburn of all
of the members Of old H company of
the First Montana regiment that
went to the Philippines in 1898.
Also they propose giving their visi-
tors a moonlight excursion on Flat
head lake. They expect to have
about 1920 in attendance at the en-
campment. AS the date of the meet
ing is after school expires, no doubt
many will drive over to Kalispell in
heir cars and take their tents along
and have a real outing in the beau
Flathead.

CAYUSE TO
Be DIFFERENTIATED
BOSTON NEWSPAPER HAS SOME
INSIDE INFORMATION ON
THIS SUBJECT
According to Boston Globe, Cayuse
is Following Down the Same Old
Trail of the West to Oblivion
After the Buffalo, Elk and Cow
puncher.

Pity the poor Montana cause, the
friend of the pioneer, which is now
TO be made extinct, ana which Is to
be hunted down on the range and
killed off by professional hunters. All
of this because the influx of home
steaders is crOwding the animals out
of existence.
There are not many Montana peo-
pie who know about this new move
on the part of the residents of the
state, but the story is told in a recent
issue of the Boston Globe. In fact,
it is doubtful if a single resident of
the state has heard of the plan, which
is outlined in detail in the story.
There will always be room in Mon
tana for the cayuse, and the cayuse
will probably always be here, but the
story which crept into the Globe will
be interesting information to Mon
tanans, who will realize the ridicul-
BUSINESS of the story.
Following is the story as it ap-
peared in the Globe:
Livestock men of Montana are
turning their backs on their old
friend, the Indian cayuse, and are
taking steps to rid the range of every
member of his species.
The indian cayuse is a scrubby,
scrawny, bright-eyed, evil-tempered,
tough little horse, weighing between
500 and $50 pounds. For years these
horses fed on the open range of the
state in large bands and until a
score OF years ago were sold in the
principal cities by the Indians for
prices varying from $3.50 to 81 a
head for a particularly bright colored
pinto with big splotches of red and
white.
with the influx of homesteaders
into Montana during the last few
years the land which was formerly
for all to Craze their cattle is
rapidly disappearing.
The water holes have been fenced
up and the rough mountainous coun-
try, the last stand of the bear, deer,
elk, coyote, timber wolf, mountain
goat and mountain sheep is now be-
ing invaded by the cayuse, who, in
are being killed off and chased
out for beef cattle.
"Stockmen recently met there and
adopted a resolution planning to rid
their ranges of all cayuses. They will
killed by professional hunters and
hides sold for leather or rounded
up and corralled for shipment to a
market, probably in the southern
states, where several t%rainloads of
horses were shipped and successfully
marketed during the last few months.
The cayuse is following down the
old trail of the west to oblivion
after the buffalo, the antelope, the
the stage driver and the
indian, to give way for purebred cat
lie, automobiles, silos, and dude
.ourists."

PROTECT FOREST
AND HELP STATE
PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR DES-
IGNATE THIS AS FOREST
PROTECTION WEEK
BY w. b. Willy

President Harding has issued {
proclamation designating this week
as a National Forest Protection Week
and Governor Dixon, alive to the UT.
gent necessity of conserving and
perpetuating forest has CO.
operated in the observance of this
forest protection week by designating
the week beginning May 20 for this
purpose, and requesting that all fed
eral, state and private agencies dis
seminate information to the people
o. the subject of forest fires and
their prevention.
The prosperity of the state of Mon
tana depends more largely upon per-
petuation of it's timber resources than
is commonly understood. Can one
imagine Montana without it's annual
supply of timber, not only for it's
large lumber manufactures, but for
the individual home builder as we'll;
without its immense tracts of public
grazing grounds in National forests
which provide grazing for nearly one
million sheep and over 100000 head
of cattle and horses annually. Take
away Montana's source of water sup
ply which turns the wheels of in
dustry and converts arid lands into
prosperous tracts and the states
population would decrease.
The forests throughout the nation
are being rapidly destroyed and it is
an official record that but two-fifths
of the original stand of timber re-
mains. The one great factor in caus-
ing this loss is fire. Montana's past
history is in no wise contrary to this.
In n year alone-1919-timber re-
sources valued at $1,559,822 were
destroyed by forest fires. For this
year there are on record 1,758 fires,
Of which Sd per CEN or 945 fires
are known to be man-caused and
therefore preventable. These man.
fires are the result of care
Iessness, righteousness or ignorance
and all are violations of state laws.
These fires represent a loss than can
be eliminated if every citizen would
acqaint himself in a few fundamental
principles in forest fire protection,
and take an active interest in pre-
venting this appalling waste.
This enormous number of man.
fires must be reduced if the

Killing weeds in the corn fields in
the month of May will save more
water for the use of the crop later
than any other single operation that
can be performed. Use a light har-
row and drag the corn as soon as it
is planted and a time or two after
it is up. The young weeds have not
had a chance to establish themselves
in the soil and are limited to the
surface inch of loose material. A
harrow tooth is a deadly enemy to d
young weed but it will not do it's best
work unless it is given an opportun-
ity to operate behind a good farm
team. Weeds are the worst enemies
on farms. Kill them while they are
little and save time and money.
How to Feed Pigs-A good le-
gume or rape pasture with a self
feeder and automatic hog waterer
makes for economic hog production
and saves much time for the farmer
who is working overtime, to say the
least, at this season of the year.
Preserve Eggs-During April and
May egg production usually reaches
JIG ludAlilQlA anu al q
the market price drops to the lowest
levels. The economical housewife
takes advantage of this fact and lays
by her store of winter eggs, for eggs
preserved at this season are not
only cheaper but keep better than
those put down later. Water glass
has been found to be the most salts
factory preservatiye in general. One
quart stirred into nine quarts of
boiled cooled water will cover Is
dozen eggs when packed in a five
gallon jar. To secure best results
eggs should be clean, strictly fresh
and infertile. Stale eggs will float
when placed in the solution. TIE
eggs should be covered by two inches
Of the solution and as the water eva
porates more should be added. All
the eggs may be put in at once or
added as they are obtained. The
crock should be put in a cool dry
place and kept covered to reduce the
evaporation.
he mower and binder have not been
ordered yet it is time to do it. If the
,%anvasses need a buckle or strap it
NOuIQn De a DAD lued TO get LHe
on the next trip to town.
There may not be as many rainy
lays for this work as last year. The
Under should carry a few extra links
# chain of each size, a good variety
# bolts, cotter keys, rivets, ETC., as
veil as a few pieces of wire for emer-
and a good set Of tools. The {
'olicy of meeting trouble before it
ONES will apply p%rofitably at har-
est time.

produce excellent growth in young
lambs: Wheat bran, As lbs; oats
crushed or whole, rs lbs; corn meal
20 lbs; oilmeal, 10 lbs.
Plant Strawberries-If you have
not planted that strawberry patch
May is the time to do sc. Practically
all farmers like to eat strawberries
A farmers wife has never been
known to refuse to eat them. Chill
dren fed a liberal allowance OF
strawberries are more healthy and
make a better growth than those de-
prived of this good food. They
should be home grown. A hundred
plants of the everbearing kind will
make a good start and some berries
can be picked in August and Septem-
Der.
Sucking Pigs-Suckling pigs be-
gin to eat grain when they are three
four weeks old, and some provi-
sion should be made for feeding
them. The careful hogman does not
expect them to obtain this feed from
the same trough in which the old
SOW is fed. Such a practice is unde-
because it does not insure
every pig will have a chance
1T the trough and furthermore there
always the danger of injury to the
young pigs while crowding among
bunch of old sows while eating. 1t
S an easy matter to partition off a
portion of a pen or of the feed lot
% which the youngsters only will
lave access. They will soon find the
place and if feed is provided regular
y they will make good use of it.

BOYS Catch Big Fish

A shovel bill sturgeon, one of the
largest ever caught around Miles
City, was landed by two boys fishing
in the Yellowstone river. The young
sters, Harry Hays and Bobbie Reed,
5eruggled for a long time with the
fish before they succeeded in getting
him to shore. He measured three
feet and weighed 18 pounds. The
boys made no attempt to hide their
catch, but marched as victors on their
way home. The fish was caught with
ordinary hook and line.
