Chickens Cleanse Themselves by Wal
lowing In Soil and Dust Box
Should Be Accessible.

Chickens never wash. as many other
birds do, but cleanse themselves by
wallowing in soil. Where board cr
cement floors are used in the chicken
house. some means for busting should
be provided during the winter months,
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. For
flock of so to go fowls dust box
3 by 6 feet or 4 by feet will generally
be found large enough, and should be
placed where 1t can be reached by sum
light during as much of the day as
possible.
Fine, light, dry dust is the best kind
with. which to fill the box. but sandy
loan is good. Road dust Is recon.
inended by many, but 1t is apt to be
filthy. Coal or wood ashes may be
mixed with the soil II desired.

or heated. The size of the plot will
vary with the amount of refuse to be
used; for ordinary uses, II the bed is
made feet long by 8 feet wide and
2 feet deep it will serve the purpose.
Over the manure spread two-foot
layer of refuse and cover it with an
other layer of manure. This last layer

peat the layers until all the waste has
been disposed of and then cover the
whole with a layer of earth.
If It is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material
emptied into the hole thus made. This
is convenient for the suburban home
where there Is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap is well mixed with a fork and
the compost is ready to be spread on
the garden plot. The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
The process may, be continued indefi-
nftely by simply adding enough
manure to insure heating. Compost is
especially valuable for use In hotbeds
and coldframes.

on request and through cooperation of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture with livestock sanitary Off
cials. Purchase of breeding stock
from these herds Is a wise precaution.
Care also should be taken to obtain
stock adapted to climatic and local

Sporadic and incidental diseases.
such as disorders Of the digestive and

largely by proper handling and feed

disorders, thus predispOsing the ami

Parasitic diseases also carry of
large numbers of valuable animals

suit of improper housing and neglect.

BOOTLEGGER DRAWS
FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL
Man Convicted By Jury Is Given
Sentence BY District Court

Frank Rossi, an Italian of Trident,
found guilty by jury in the district
court of selling whiskey at Trident,
was sentenced Saturday by Judge
Law to serve four months in the coun-
ty Jail. It was the original intention
of the judge to ostpone the sentence
Of Rossi until after the trial of Pas
quale Melito, charged with the same
offense, but when the county attor-
ney asked to have the Melito case dis
missed for lack of evidence the Judge
decided to sentence Rossi at once.
In sentencing Rossi Judge Law said
that he believed the jury had come to
the right conclusion in the case. The
judge said that there was no evil
dence that there had been a general
distribution of liquor, but that it was
dangerous thing to handle at any
time.
Rossi had no comments to make
and viii begin his sentence at once.

VOCATIONAL men
IN LARGER field
Added Courses for Ex-Service Men
Will Be Offered at College
Next Year

Left Fredericks, supervisor for the
Montana district of the Federal
Board of Vocational Education spent
Monday and Tuesday in the city con-
sulting with the vocational men at
the college in regard to their work
and looking into a prospective plan
for the enlargement of the work to
be given at the local institution for
the benefit of these ex-service men.
According to Mr.. Fredericks there
will be more special courses given
at the college next year in what
might be called a pre-vocational line.
In other words some of the men who
are taking the vocational work are
deficient in their preparatory courses
and it is the intention of the govern
ment to give special work along these
elementary lines. This will be called
a guidance school. There is already
one special instructor at the college
in this line and it is expected that
next year will see a need for two or
three. Mr. Federicks also said it was
the hope of the board to establish
for these vocational men certain
courses that are not now given at the
college, courses laid along practical
lines and that if this comes about the
board will furnish both instructors
and equipment to the local institution.
Mr.. Fredericks says there are at
! present some 90 men taking vocation
al work at the college and it is
expected that there will be at least
$50 next year. There are some 45C
vocational men receiving training ii
the state at the present time and IL
addition there are in the neighbor.

WOOL growers Will
GATHER IN Helena
AE-Ial Meeting of Montana AssO-
citation Plans Important Work
for Members

The Montana Wool Growers assici-
alton will hold a general meeting in
Helena next Saturday and letters are
being sent to all the members urging
them to attend. There are many i'm
pOrtant matters to come before this
meeting that will be of keen interest
t. the sheepmen of the Gallatin and
quite a few local flockmasters are
planning to attend. Labor problems,
shearing charges, the warehousing
and selling of the 1921 clip will all
be considered and at this meeting a
plan of affiliatiOn of the various To-
cal organizations with the state as
sOciation will be considered.
Temporary Secretary Arnett has is
sued circular letter to the different
sheepmen and says in part,
1T is felt by many that operating
costs can be held to the minimum if
the various questions are discussed
and agreed upon by the men in the
state. Local associations are import
ant and should be directly connected
with a state association, as more eff
fective results may be expected from
a general agreement that is state
wide.
obviously, the question Of great
est Importance to every wcolgroweI
is-how best to handle and dispose OF
this years clip of wool. Indications
are that comparatively little wool will
be bought at shearing pens this year
Storage in a U. S. bonded warehouse
is considered by many to be the best
and only solution offered under pres
ent conditions. Receipts from a ware
house operating under the u. S
Bonded Warehouse Act are good col
lateral and should enable the growe-
to get an advance on his wool to hell
defray operation expense. This will
be thoroughly discussed by competen
authorities, men who have had ex
perience and know the operation o
the U. S. Bonded Warehouse Act. MI
Staff of the National Wool WarehOus
and Storage Co., has been invited t
address the meeting. This is an OF

Old City Officers Willing to Serve
Until City Manager Is
Voted On

AS a result of the fact that no pri-
mary election for city officers was
held in Bozeman this spring, the only
recourse left for nomination the may
or, city treasurer, police judge and
aldermen is by petition. At meet
ing held Monday and attended by the
heads of the two county central COM
mittees and a number of men inter
ested in promoting the city-manager
form of government in Bozeman the
local situation was thoroughly can
vassed and pending the election and
installation of a city manager, the
present mayor and council have given
their permission to their being nomi-
mated by petition and will, if elected,
serve until such time as the city
manager form of government takes
effect.
Petitions have already been drawn
up and sufficient signatures obtained
to submit the question of city man.
ager to the people at a special elec-
tion, to be held at no distant date.
1t is believed that the matter will car
ry and if this is so it would be the
height Of folly to elect a new mayor
and aldermen to run the city for the
few months that will elapse before
the new manager takes hold. When
this matter was put up to the mayor
and the four retiring alderman they
consented to run again with that un-
derstanding. AS it takes several
months for an alderman or mayor to
become conversant with the details OF
the duties imposed, the heads of the
central committees and others who
are interested in civic affairs believe
it far better for the old officers tC
hold over than to attempt to put new
men in for so short a time.
There was some hesitancy among
the retiring officers about permitting
their names to be used again, as tht
mayor and the four alderman all wisl
TO be relieved of the duties of theil
offices, but when the matter was pu
to them in the light of civic welfar
and as a temporary arrangement
they consented. AS a result ther
will be no party tickets in the fiel

After nine years Of effort the Bill

pionship Of Montana at the college
Saturday night when they defeated

final games ever staged at the big
high school event. Billings won the
first championship ten years ago but
were never able to repeat until last
week. The real deciding game Of the
tournament was in the semi-finals
when Billings played Dillon, last
years champions and won by the
score of Is to y. characterized by
many upsets of the dope sheet and
featured a number Of close games,
the tenth annual tournament of the
college was one of the best yet held
by the local institution.
The sixteen teams which came to
Bozeman to contest for final honors
on the floor this year consisted of
Billings, Helena, Forsyth, Butte, Dar-
by, Missoula, Wolf Point, Libby,
Sweet Grass, Gallatin, Whitehall, Dill
Ion, Teton, Choteau, Flathead and
Dawson. The tournament was a
straight elimination contest and the
final order of the teams were Bill
ings, Forsyth, Dillon, Sweet Grass,
Libby, Helena and Darby in the ord
er named. The other teams failed
to qualify for the ranking positions.
The attendance this year was better
and even for the preliminary games
the gymnasium was almost full.
There was not enough room to begin
to hold the crowds that attended both
Friday and Saturday evenings. Even
the morning games were well attend
ed and on Saturday morning, when

a premium.

CLEANING COUNTY
OF TUBERCULAR . COWS
County Agent and Federal Officers
Are Working to Give Gallatin
Clean Herds

With four federal veterinarians
working with him, County Agent R.
E. Bodley is busy endeavoring to
finish his campaign of cleaning the
county of all tubercular COWS. Bod
dey's is a race against time, for
when the weather breaks and the far
mers are busy with spring work they
cannot be expected to stop to test
their cattle, indeed the cattle them
selves will be turned out to pasture,
hence there remain but a few weeks
or even less in which the veterinar-
ians can work
Just now the men are working in
the Manhattcn country, taking dis
trlct at a time. Mr.. Bodley is going
ahead organizing the districts for the
work and getting the cattle run in so
that the work can go forward rapidly.
With the exception of one locality,
where some 20 head of tubercular
cattle were discovered, but few ami
mails show any reaction to the tests.
Several thousand cattle in the county
AA~fS OSOA NSS0Su eAiiu IiS BSI CSill VI
the cattle showing this disease is so
small that it encourages the work,
that Gallatin county may have an alb
solutely clean bill of health.
The work necessitates two trips
to every farm, one when the cattle
are injected with the serum and a
later one to determine if there are
any reactors. The cattle are in no
way injured by the treatment and if
there are any reactors the farmer is
paid for them at their assessed valu-
stion. In other words if he has put
his cattle in at the full value to the
county treasure-as of course we all
have-he needs fear no loss.
Farmers interested in having their
cattle tested, the work is free, should
call Mr.. Bodley at his office and make
arrangements with him. It is to the
advantage of everyone to have an en-
tire district tested at one time, for
not only will sucn method wipe out
all the existing disease, but it will
save Mr.. Bodley and his assistants
much time.
