NICE PROFIT IN
FEEDING CALVES
EXPERIMENT OF w. DINGWALL
OF DRUMMOND is
SUCCESSFUL
In Four Months Animals Went Up t o
10 Pounds and Sold for Profit,
Above Original Price and Feed.

For some time cattle men have
been searching for a method of max
ing their cattle bring them more
money. VIM. Dingwall and Sons of
Drummond, Mont, were among those
who wished for a quicker and greater
return and decided to feed out some
calves. The results of their feeding,
which follows below, should be of
value to other stockmen.
A bunch of calves were carried
from November rs, when they were
weaned, until January / on all the
good alfalfa hay they would eat.
They were then started on one pound
of grain a day. On February 1 the
amount was increased to two pounds
daily. The grain was ground and
consisted of one-half barley, ne
quarter oats and one-quarter wheat.
It was fed once a day until February
20 when it was fed twice daily. The
amount was gradually increased from
two pounds on February 20, to five
pounds on March /. No further in
crease in the amount of grain was
made and the calves were shipped on
April 20, weighing 740 pounds at the
railroad yards after a five-mile drive.
They were shipped to Spokane and
weighed ITO pounds there, having
shrunk 80 pounds in transit.
No exact records were kept of the
amount of feed used but the amount
of hay they ate was less than they
would have eaten if they had receiv-
ed no grain. The grain eaten was
probably about $40 or 375 pounds
each. At a value of $1.75 per hun
dred weight the cost of the grain fed
the calves was about $3.50 per head.
The calves brought seven and a
half cents a pound at home or a
total of $3.50 each. Deducting the
cost of the grain fed there remained
$40 per head to cover the cost of
labor in feeding, the original value
of the calf, taxes, interest, profit and
other items of expense. AS the
calves were valued at about S25 per
head, this feeding operation probably
returned a nice profit as well as fur
nishing a home market for labor and
feeds.
These calves were not fat enough
TO ship east and sell as killers but
carried sufficient flesh to sell we'll on
the western markets although it is
believed that they would have paid
we'll for a little more grain.
The Dingwalls expect to feed again
this winter and expect to improve on
their feeding of last winter by start
ing the calves on grain as oon as
they are weaned and by separating
the steers and the heifers.

with continued good weather,
speedy harvest is anticipated.
States Largest CrOD

The estimated total production for
this year is $500 tons, exceeding
by 10000 tons the returns from the
previous high year, 1913, adm doub-
ling that of last year when 100000
tons were produced.
The initial payment of Sc a ton
will be paid the beet growers, and
will bring a total disbursement to
the farmers of the Laurel section.
With the participating contract, this
amount will be increased from time
to time as the sugar is sold.
Announcement is made that the
company will in a short time make
the final payment on the 1922 crop
which will mean that an additional
sum approXimating $240,000 will go
to the growers of this section. The
company during the last year has
made additional payments under on
tract from time to time which place
the total payments with the coming
final payment at a little yer SO a
ton, netting the farmers of the COM
munity in the neighborhood of ST.
100000. With the greatly increased
tonnage, there will be distributed for
labor and material approximately
$3,500, 900. Of this amount, it is
expected that the farmer will receive
more than $4,000 900 from the mi
tial and bonus payments.
Harvest Ends Nov. L
The management of the factory is
anxious to see the harvest
before freezing weather
and it is hoped that the work will
be completed by November 1. Farm
srs are urged to get their harvesting
done as soon as possible in order to
avoid trouble from bad weather.

Fountain Of Youth in Rosebud

John Barley of Rosebud believes
that on his ranch has been found the
fountain of perpetual youth.
The discovery, he declared, was
made after the completion of a new
well on his place recently. A drink
of the potent mineral water that
bubbles therefrom, he asserts, is
most celebrating and i~nvigorating.

WHY MEN BECOME CANNIBALS
Writer Asserts Cause Is Natural craV-
ing for Meat Where There Is a
Scant Supply.

Why does man became a canni5alf
Mr.. w. D. NJ. Bell, a contributor to
Country Life" thinks that the cause
is constant craving for meat in land
where mostly grain abOunds. He tells
some interesting things about the eX-
traOrdinary diet of the natives of the
Bahr AOuk in Africa.
When they inhabit a stockless area,
he says, they go for months without
flesh, except OF course for an Occa-
siOnal rat, mongOOse or bird. In those
circumstances the craving for meat
naturally becomes intense and in my
opinion is the cause of cannibalism.
When the people suddenly have al
most unlimited meat, as they do have
when they kill an elephant or a hippo
pOtamus, they simply gorge them
selves. A man will eat from fifteen to
twenty pounds in twenty-fOur hours.
All night long he will eat and dOze and
dOZe again. AS a result his skin turns
a peculiar dull color, and his eyes be-
come yellow. On the third day he has
pearance and is again full of energy.
In short time he wants his grain
food again and if he has the choice
will eat a large portion of grain to a
small portion of meat
II, as with the elephant, there is
much fat with the meat, the natives
are likely to become extremely 6t on
that diet. For example, for sixty
three days Of consecutive marching a
kilang0zi, or head porter, of mine who
was of slight build carried his mat,
his blanket, fifteen pounds Of ratiOns
and tusk that weighed one hundred
and fOrty-eight pounds The shortest
day was fve hours, and some days
were very long indeed. For ratiOns
throughout the march he had two
pounds OF native grain every day and
as much meat and elephant fat as he
cared for. His physical condition was
magnificent thrOughout.-FrOm the

ficials Regarded as Useless


ficials Regarded as Useless
One of the biggest of the so-called
ripper" bills introduced at the pres
ent session of the Legislature by
Representative Nelson, being an act
to reduce the salaries of the officials
of the State Board of Education and
abolish many of the officers under that
department of the State government,
was passed by the House Wednesday
by the narrowest margin. 1t is thought
the bill will be reconsidered and de-
feated. The vote was eighteen for
and thirteen against the bill. Eigh-
teen is the constitutional majority.
Five Democrats, Representatives Coop
er, HOlcOmb, Pettyjohn, Slant and
Speaker CuveT, voted with the Re-
publicans against the bill which was
supported by all the other majority
members. Representatives Lord, Nc
Cabe, G, H. Short and w. d. Short
were absent when the vote was taken.
This bill would reduce the salary of
H. Holloway, State Superintendent of
Public instruction, from $4,000 to
$780, 1t also provides for reduction
in the pay of other school officials as
follows: Assistant superintendent in
charge of high schools, A. John Shil-
ling, from $4,000 to $4,000; Assistant
Superintendent in charge of elemen-
tary schools, Wilbur H. Jump, from
$4,000 to $4,000; business manager,
James o. Adams, from $4,000 to S25OO
The bill abolishes the office of director
of research and statistieian, now held
by H. B. King, who is paid $4,000 a
year. 1t provides there shall be four
stenOgraphers and one bookkeeper in
the office of the State Board of Edu-
cation whose aggregate salary shall
not exceed $400 a month. There are
now eight stenographers in that office
and eight secretaries. In the State
Superintendent Office are a bookkeep-
er and two clerks whose pay is from
$50 to S140 per month. The bill would
also abolish the Office force of the
State Board of Education in Whining
ton, Dover and Georgetown, where
four persons are paid from SIS to
500 a month, and it abOlishes the Of
fees of the following: L.G. Armstrong
State Superintendent of Agriculture,
whose salary is $3500 a year; Eliza
beth Amery, State Superintendent of
Home Economics whose pay is $4,000
a year; A. B. Anderson, State Super
intendent of Grades and Industries,
whose pay is $4,000. The seven rural
supervisors in the three counties are
cut to three, one for each county, and
the pay is reduced from $4,000 with an
automobile each, to $3.50 each with
out an automobile. The entire force
of visiting teachers who are paid $3.50
month is abolished as are also the

LAMENTS CHANGE IN FASHION

Craze Has Hit South Sea Island
Femininlty, Too.

Capt. Charles Dipgle Of the freight
er Bay Port, which arrived in Port
Newark from Hawaii and the South

the ravages of fashion in those once
guileless and innocent regions. It's
the Paris-bOrn craze for long skirts,
says Cap'n Dingle and his crew,
that has sophisticated the spicy isles.

Catherin, on Mount Sinai, whence its
name, and was acquired by Tsar Alex

Human Skull Found Near
Buckeye.

The finding of a human skull
19 miles up the river from Buck
eye one day last week, reWves
the story Of how John J. Knight
of Chicago, while travelling the
Phoenix-Buckeye Bandit Road,
was undoubtedly murdered and
his body burned about July Is,
1921. The skull was found about
two miles up the river from
where Knights modern Franklin
car was found. Knight was a
wealthy Texan whose disappear
ance has baff1ed officers of four
states. He was last seen eating
in a Buckeye cafe one evening
just before starting over the
90-mile desert road to Vicksburg
enroute to California, where he
never arrived. He is known to
have worn diamonds and had be-
tween $500 and 1000 on his
person that has never been ac-
counted for, tho several arrests
were made. 1t was his first trip
over the desert, and the Bandit
Road" was unknown to him.

suffering with tuberculosis, died
at the home of w. w. Bass on
