Hang TOGETHER IS
MONTANAS POLICY

Civic and commercial organizations,
business men, housewives and every
body else in Bozeman are expected to
join the Montana Association of Com
mercial Organization Secretaries in
a statewide campaign this fall for
the boosting of Montana-made goods.
In the following public statement
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce asks for conscientious
support in this city and county in its
efforts to help Montana industries:
"Ben Franklin used to say that un-
less we all hang together we may all
hang separately. We in Montana
need this advice. We are careless
about cooperation; in fact, we seem
to be just as anxious to help support
factories in New York, Illinois, Rhode
Island, Germany and Japan, as we
are to help along the industries that
use Montana raw materials and la
Dor. Consequently, Montana mas
only a few factories and manufacture
ing plants.
eff we all hang together and ask
for Montana-made goods we can get
more factories. We will also be
helping those which we now have.
'''Durfng OctobeH November and
December, the Montana Chambers oi
Commerce are conducting a Home
Loyalty Campaign We are trying
to carry to the people the message
of patronage to home industry. W.
are asking business men and house
keepers to specify Montana-mad'
goods every time they place an ordel
for anything. We ask simply tha
people give preference to Montan;
products, when price and quality ar,
equal"
The Chambers of Commerce hav
prepared for a three-months cam
paign in October, November and De
cember.

POISON WISE OLD WOLVES.

Even the wise old wolf will fall for
the temptation of poison if the bait
is properly prepared and placed. Such
is the conclusion proved, in the face
of long-standing belief to the con-
trary, by predatory animal inspectors
employed by the Biological Survey,
United Staes Department of Agri-
culture.
"We arrived on the range one even
ing," reads a recent Arizona report,
land killed yearling colt to be used
as drag. That night we scattered
perhaps $50 poison bats. The next
day we made another drag with an
automobile, and along this drag line
put out about 800 bats. That night
the wolves came in and killed fine
colt ;but they continued over their
regular route of travel until they
crossed the drag line, where each
picked up a poison bait. The pair,
both old animals, were found about
one-half mile from where they picked
up the bait"

POISONOUS MILKWEED.

Stock poisining by weeds on the
western ranges is often so insidious
that it is difficult to trace the cause
of the trouble to its correct source.
This is true Of the various mlikweeds,
some of which have poisonous prop
critics, while other suspected vari-
eties have been found to be nom
poisonous.
A recent publication of the United
States Department of Agriculture de-
scribes one of the most injurious of
these weeds, the Mexican whorled
milkweed, which is believed to have
caused much of the sheep trouble at
tributed to some other varieties. The
plant ranges from Mexico nerthward
through California, western Nevada
and southern Washington to eastern
Idaho. 1t is also known as the mar
row leaf milkweed. Feeding tests
indicate that the poisonous qualities
are most pronounced in the leaves.
Only sheep were used in the feeding
experiments, but other investigators
assert from experience that cattle
also are subject to poison.

HARDING NOT WILSON.

To the firmness of charcter of
President Harding is due the settle
ment of the threatened railroad
strike.
The representatives Of the en-
ployes say that they were compelled
to submit to the situation because of
the propaganda that was circulated,
to the effect that if they should
strike they would be warning against
the national government. "Propa-
ganda?" The truth!
The railroad men have been suf-
fering mentally from the propaganda
of Wilson and the Democratic party
in that they were privileged class.
Having once held up Congress with
a stop watch and compelled the presi-
dent of the United States to bow to
their threats, they naturally did not
readjust with rapidity to the fact
that they as well as all other per-
sons are subject to economic law

Montana Farming Topics
TEST REVEALS BRoODY HENS.

Broody hens, like wayward chill
dren, are a great discredit to their
parents and source of annoyance
to all who have to do with them. That
is why one of the greatest concerns
of every ambitious and enthusiastic
poultryman is to restrict the appear
ance and development of broodiness
in his flock. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has found
that broodiness can be reduced very
markedly by careful, rigid and per-
sistent selection.
At the Massachusetts experiment
station, where a detailed experiment
tai study of broodiness has been
made, it was ascertained that previ-
Gus to the practice of selection the
average hen in the flock was broody
3.8S times year. After painstak-
ing selection was practiced for five
years, this tendency to broodiness
was reduced so that the average egg
producer in the flock developed brood
mess only 0.36 times a year. A study
of the correlations between broodi-
ness and egg production shows that
pullets that are very broody tend to
lay relatively few eggs between their
broody periods.
There is no one dominant cause of
broodiness among poultry. Genetic-
ally, there occur four distinct types
of non-broodiness and one of brood
mess. 1t is believed that birds show
ing only a slight tendency to broodi-
ness belong in the same class as the
nonbroody fowls, as each has about
the same proportion of broody off
spring. The determination of brood
mess is complicated by the fact that
birds that are not broody during the
pullet year may become broody dur
ing their second or third laying sea.

ROADS BUILT IN 1921.

Road building has recovered from
the setback received during the war,
and prospects are bright for the fu-
ture. Approximately $4,000 miles of
road have been constructed during
the present season by the states in
conjunction with federal aid, accord
ing to the Bureau of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and probably an equal
amount independent of federal aid.
More miles of improved road have
been built than during any other
year.
Costs of road grading and construc-
tion with local materials is down
practically to the 1914 level. Some
reductions, also, have been made in
freight rates on road materials. The
Importance of this item is shown by
the fact that in some cases it has
been estimated that increased freight
rates have added 10 per cent to the
cost of the road. Prices of manu-
factured road materials tend down.
ward; the present level is materially
lower than that of a year ago.
With the new appropriation by
Congress of SIS, 100000, added i'm
petus will be given to new road con-
struction. Many of the states are
considering enlarged amounts of
state aid, and the new law will have
a tendency to encourage this policy,
1t will also secure the construction
of system of interstate and inter
county highways, rather than hap
hazard selection of roads as in some
cases in the past.
The meeting Of the Association OF
State Highway Officials to be held
in Omaha, Neb., December 5 to IL
will be devoted largely to the discus
sion Of ways and means of complying
with the new law and getting con
struction under way.

soy BEAN STRAW rs
GOOD ROUGHAGE.

The Tennessee station compared
soy-bean straw and corn stover as
roughage in the production Of milk
and butter. The ration containing
soy-bean straw was found superior to
that containing corn stover. This
ration produced more pounds Of milk
and butter fat and produced them
more cheaply than the corn stover
ration. In every case there was less
loss Of milk and butter fat during
the feeding Of the soy-bean straw
than during the feeding Of corn sto-
yer. 1t was concluded from these
tests that soy-bean straw is a valu-
able addition to the roughage in the
feeding of dairy cows.

FEEDING BEEF BETTER
THAN SELLING GRAIN

An investigation into methods and
costs of beef production in the corn
belt, conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture, covering
three years and 9O6 farms, shows in
teresting facts concerning the pres
ent status of the industry. The man
who feeds cattle is marketing his
crops as he feeds them, and, there
fore, is justified in expecting a re-
turn equivalent to average market
prices for feeds. Even if he some
times falls short of such a return,
he has not necessarily experienced a
loss. The corn belt farmer who sells
grain sometimes receives more for
his crop than one who feeds it to
cattle, but on the average, for a per-
iod of years, except in certain linn
tied areas, the man who puts the feed
into steers and returns the manure
to the land is the one who comes
out ahead. The conclusion is based
on feeding in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois,
Nebraska and Missouri.
The figures which contain the ne
suits of this investigation were OBJ
tanned from a large number of farms
and from several agricultural exper-
iment stations in the middle west.
One phase of the work deals with the
cost of maintaining herd of breed
ing cows for producing feeder cattle
1t was found that feed represented
SO per cent of the cost of keeping q
cow for one year, while the other 81
per cent was for interest, labor
equipment and incidentals.

BIG CATTLE TRADE
At NATIONAL SHOW

There is a great deal of interest
manifested over the probable trade
out come of the next National West
ern Stock Show to be held in Denver
during the week of January IA to
q. In past years the trade during
the Stock Show gave a very accurate
indication of the probable trend of
the market for the following year.
Last year, for instance, trade was
dull. Purebreds went off in price
very decidedly and it was hard to sell
them at any price, while feeder cat
tie trade was only fair. During the
year which followed there were indi
cations that the trend of the trade
at the show was a very great indi-
cation Of what to expect.
There are indications of a very
good attendance of cattle in carloads
at. the coming show, as well as buy
ers, and The purebred men are looking
ing forward to very profitable sales.
Prices will not be high, but there are
indications that everything offered
for sale during the show will find a
SPEEDY buyer. The stockmen have
learned that at the Stock Show they
can s. ure the very best of breeding
stock at the right kind of prices.
Preparations for the 10Th annual
National Western Stock Show at
Denver, the week of January 14-21
are well under way and the indica-
tions are that it will be one of the
most successful shows in the history
of that Organization. General Man
ager Youngerman reports that the
outlook was never better at this sea-
son of the year for a complete line
of entries which will test the capac
ity of the yards. The attendance
promises to be larger than usual
The annual horse show held in con
nection with the stock show promises
to be even more complete than past
shows and the various stunts in con,
nection with this entertainment feat
ure Of the show will be full of inter
est and with lots of snap.
