tains sufficient feed for a COW weigh
ing 1000 pounds and producing one
pound of butter fat a day or rs
pounds of 4 per cent milk. The cost
of this ration at farm prices (Dec.
u may be estimated at not more
than % cents. The whole ration can
be produced on many Montana farms.
1t is one of the most economical ra-
tions to be had, while at the same
time it gets results in milk produc-
ton.
Without clover or alfalfa hay in
a ration a greater amount of grain
is required for the production of a
pound of butterfat a day. A ration
composed of timothy or wild hay and
corn slower (corn from which the
ears have been husked) would re-
quire each day Is pounds of grain
composed of 5 pounds of bran, 2
pounds of oil meal, S pounds ground
oats and 8 pounds of ground corn.
The cost of this ration would be one
fifth more than the cost of the first
one, on account of the greater
amount of grain used and the more
expensive grain.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-01-06

With a good grade of clover and
alfalfa hay and corn silage, not much
grain is required should say not
more than 1 pound of grain to 8 Or
4 pounds of milk. With a poor grade
of roughage, timothy, wild hay, corn
stalks and straw, 1 pound of grain
is required daily for every 2 pounds
of milk produced daily.
Roots of all kinds may be made
to take the place of a part of the
grain in a ration. From z to 10
pounds of roots are required to take
the place of 1 pound of grain.
We must keep steadfastly in mind
the fact that it requires a certain
amount of feed to produce a pound
of butterfat, and that the amount of
feed required depends upon the kind
of feed and also upon the kind of
COW. The average common COW is
capable of producing zoo pounds of
butterfat a year. The average half
blood dairy COW is capable of produc-
ing ESQ pounds of butterfat a year.
The average high grade and pure
bred dairy COW is capable of produc-
ing 800 pounds of butterfat a year..

Does your stable have a foul, sti
fling odor in the morning when you
enter it?
Is there frost on the side walls
and ceiling?
If so, then your building needs
ventilating.
1t is not always possible to keep
all of the frost from collecting in a
stable, especially around leaky win
dows and doors, but there should be
very little, if any, except during the
most bitter days of winter.
You may be afraid that fresh air
will make your stable too cold for
the stock. If the stable is poorly
constructed, so that you have many
cracks where air whizzes in, and the
walls are only single boarded, then
you probably have enough ventilation
and perhaps too much on real cold
days. This ventilation is beyond
your control. Frost may be collect
ing because your barn is too cold.
This may be caused by poor con
struction, thin walls or too few ami
mails for the space they have to heat.
Your barn should have walls that
are built to keep in the warmth of
the stock. There should not be
cracks around doors and windows
where the snow and the icy blast
blows in. 1t is best to use storm
windows on all openings into the
stable. Do not have a large stable
with a few head of stock in it. If
you do not need all of the stable,
partition off a part of it, even if
you use nothing more than a n
to partition it off with. A COW
should not be required to heat more
than 700 cubic feet of space and
about $50 cubic feet is an average
value. A horse may be expected
to heat about 1000 cubic feet of
space, but 700 or 500 cubic feet is
a fair value. Some well-built stables
allow as much as 1900 cubic feet
per horse and still keep the stable
warm, but this value is rather high.

could, provided for a recession of
prices; but there is nothing in his
tory equal to the severe and crush
ing giving away of the wool market.
AS l have indicated and as was
brought out here yesterday, the same
condition largely applies to the live
stock market. So today the grower
of sheep, not being able to sell wool
at all, has to ship the live stock, has
to go out of business, and put the
sheep upon the market, although
they net him not much more than
the freight, and his debt to the bank
er still confronts him.
rs that industry worth saving to
the country? If it is worth saving
something in the way of an embargo
or of a measure equally effective and
immediate, no matter how disagree
able or repugnant it may be to our
ideas of ethics and the ordinary rule
of legislation, must be enacted. 1t
is an extremity in which this indus
try is appealing for immediate help,
and the emergency is so acute as to
be actually startling.
"Of course we had very low prices
and severe stress in this industry in
1893 and 1894, after we had had a
season of free wool, but the condi-
tion which existed then came on more
gradually and was nothing compared
to the present distress. I want to in
dorse what the senator from Utah,
Mr.. Smoot, said yesterday, that this
industry will absolutely perish unless
relief is soon afforded it.

against all receipts of wool from for
eign countries could, it seems to me,
hurt no one Those countries have
stocks of wool for home con-
sumption. So have we, and while
prices might not be greatly increas-
ed, wool could be sold for home con-
sumption and the congestion would
thus be relieved"

/ which has very much helped to g1ut
the market, since the war depart
ment has engaged in wool selling al
most continuously from that time.
"This was a market where there
was money for wool; there was an
equally good market with the British
government. The British govern
ment agreed to take the wool of all
agreed price during the war, and un-
til some years thereafter; in other
words, until June 80, 1920.
"Owing to high freights across the
water and the good market here, the
wool market was sustained until May
last, when, in fact, it dropped nearly
out of sight in value in almost the
twinkling of an eye. Inside of 10
days wool that had started in transit
on it's way to reach a market about
equal to that of last year found no
market, and now lies dead in the
eastern markets, while the cost of
handling, owing to high cost of labor
and advanced freight rates, and so
forth, is greater than ever before.

Barbarism in Congress.

The Monthly Labor Review has been sup
pressed 1t is difficult to imagine single act
Of more evil potentiality within the power of
congress. 1t is conservative to assert that the
just interests of every class in the United States
may be injured by the policy of observation
adopted in this matter The members of con-
gress responsible for the shocking example of
inepitude seemed to have been led by the
fatuous faith that the concealment of social and
economic conditions may render unnecessary
legislative action That is part of the insane
political philosophy which drove Russia from
the absolutism of the Romanoffs to the dictator
ship Of the communists. Ignorance of reality
is certainly no bulwark against change. Every
important government publishes a periodical
distributing economic and social information
of public significance The British Labor
Gazette, issued by the ministry of labor, is one
of the most important sources of industrial
knowledge to be found in any language. In this
country the Monthly Labor Review, which was
founded several years ago by DR.. Royal Meeker
when he was commissioner of the bureau OF
labor statistics, has attained similar standing.
The review is the official reporter of prices and
changes in the cost of living, of wages and hours
of labor in industry, of the state of employment
and of unemployment, OF industrial accidents,
of strikes and lockouts of labor laws and de-
cisions, and of all of the other important sub
jects of interest to employer and employee 1t
has been managed both under DR.. Meeker and
under Commissioner Ethelbert Stewart with
'scrupulous fidelity to high standards of scholar
ship and to utter impartiality of view 1t
has been enormously useful. The cost of living
figures alone have served employers workers
and governmental authorities in countless
wage negotiations during recent years. In this
way it has been an effectual instrument for in
dustrial peace In other fields-such, for
example, as safety-the work of DR.. Lucian W
CLANCY and others has been highly important
contribution. 1t is plain that nobody with an
intelligence above that of barbarians who de-
light to blot out learning could desire to de-
stroy the Monthly Labor Review. Yet a few
congressman who hate blindly anything which
bears the word lsbor were able for the time to
accomplish this nefarious thing. The pubIica-
ton of the Review stopped Dec, 1. Immediate
action in the new session must be taken to
repair the damage already done.

The Oldest Royalty.

The accession of the Crown Prince Hirocfito
to the throne of japan as regent for his inca
pacitated father, the Emperor Yoshihito brings
out the fact that the Japanese dynasty he repre-
sents is the oldest in the world Hirochito
traces his descent directly to the Emperor
Jimmu Tenno, who came to the throne in the
year $50 B. c. Thus the present royal family
of Japan has reigned, if records are true. for
2,5S1 years. This is amazing period for one
family to span. 1t embraces not only the whole
of modern and medieval times, but the whole
historic period of Greek and Roman civiIiza-
ton, with'a considerable overlapping of ancient
Egyptian, Babylonian and Indian civilizations
II there is any reverence due to lineage it
should surely be found here. Yet what are the
plain facts?
The reason Hirochito assumes the mikado-
ship is that the real ruler is mentally incompe-
tent Hirochito himself, from his photographs

naturally wonders how many rulers in that

with the activities of the organization. The
chorus has been practicing on the Handel mas
teTpiece for two months, and those who have
been present at the rehearsals are predicting
one Of the most finished and impressive rem

are true These crimes against the natives are
alleged to have occurred during the American

Race Prejudice.

but there is another thing that lies at tbe base
OF our freq institutions that ought to be more
thoroughly instilIed into the minds of our young
people 1t is that equality of opportunity which

Among these rights are life, liberty and the
