for the Proctor and Gamble company,
who is summing up the use of soap
in the United States for the year
ending June 30th, 1928 said:
"Two billion pounds of soap and
soap products were consumed by the
twenty-five million families in the
United States. Figuring an average
of IA persons to family, every fam
lily in the country used approximately
"a pounds of laundry, toilet and 9TH
er soaps and soap powders for wash
ing, shaving, shampooing, cleaning of
clothes, homes, etc. Ten dollars
year spent by the average American
family for this purpose. At today's
retail prices, the annual soap bill for
the United States is approximately
$3.50, 100000"

A substantial increase in the bea-
yer population of the Yellowstone
National park is reported from many
quarters this summer. Some of the
famous old beaver ponds and lodges
have been abandoned, but there is
new activity in many areas.
A scientific study of beavers in for
mer years was continued this year
by Edward R. Warren, naturalist of
the Roosevelt Wild Life Forest Ex-
pertinent station at Syracuse, N. Y.
He has spent the entire summer in
the northeastern section of the park,
where beaver are especially active.
The beaver in that region are as nu-
merous as natural conditions will
permit, and a surplus of population
has compelled many of the animals
TO seek new feeding grounds and
build new dams and lodges.
Prefer Aspen Groves
The beaver makes his habitat in
proximity to aspen groves. In the
vicinity of Camp Roosevelt large
groves of these trees have been cut
down, the bark used as food and the
logs for construction purposes. The
beaver has been obliged to abandon
a famous series of beaver ponds in
Lost creek beside the Cooke City
road.
The increasing beaver population
is attributed in part to the reduction
in the number of coyotes and wolves
within the park. These predatory
animals, great foes of the antelope
and baby elk, have been systemati-
cally hunted by rangers during re-
cent winters. Mr.. Warren suggests
a possibility that the beaver popula-
tion may eventually reach a point
where reduction may become neces-
sary. This could be accomplished by
trapping beaver families and sending
them to other national parks or re-
gions where the restoration of this |
valuable American animal is being |
attempted.
Marvellous Engineering
Marvellous engineering work of the |
beaver is described by Mr.. Warren in |
a publication, 1.-THE Life of the Vel
lowstone Beaver Beaver use four
different types of construction, he
writes-dams, lodges, burrows and
canals. He regards the canal as in
many respects the highest engineer
ing achievement. ITO plan and dig
a channel in which to float logs to
pond, and not only that, but also
to build dams in this channel to hold
water to desired level, is an intelli-
gent art" On Tower creek Mr.. War
rem found two such canals, one 90
feet long and another $50 feet.

Richard Ringing, White Sulphur
Springs capitalist, will open $4,000
acres of irrigated and dry land acre
age Immediately to war veterans who
are recommended by the United
States Veterans bureau, he said re-
Gently.
The land will be rented by Mr..
Ringing, who owns a tract of H.
900 acres, to the veterans on the
share basis and it is a part of his col
onization scheme of territory between
White Sulphur Springs and Ringing.
The veterans bureau at Helena has
recommended 20 Montana ex-service
men who will accept tracts of land
under Mr.. Ringling's plan immediate
ly.
Mr.. Ringling's share basis provides
that he give cattle, hogs and the use
of the land, and the farmer must pro
vide his own horses and what machin-
cry he uses. The government allows
war veterans $500 for farm machin-
cry as well as monthly compensation,
according to Mr.. Ringing. He says
that the tracts will vary from small
parcels to 500 acres.
Some of the men," he said, care
going into the game with the inten-
ton of making money and are taking
large fields, while others are only
planning to make a living and are
taking the smaller lots.''
One-half of the produce of the in
dividual farm is given to Mr.. Ringing
for his creamery and meat treating
plant. The other half is the property |
Of the farmer. There will be little |
grain grown, but some corn.
Mr.. Ringing offers the veterans
the option of eventually buying the
land, but this, he said, will be
transaction.

|DRY LAND RYE BEATS BARLEY
FOR FATTGMlNG PIGS GHEAPlY

results that are just as satisfactory as
are those secured from the equal part
mixture. The total feed cost is re-
duced, due to the additional 25 pei
cent of rye, while the grain required
to produce one pound of gain is, in
this first trial, identical with the
amount of grain required by the
equal part mixture. The pigs finish
ed on this ration exhibited greater
uniformity of size and development
and on the whole presented more
attractive appearance than those fin
ished on the equal part mixture OF
barley and rye.
Pigs fed straight rye, or ration
containing a large percentage of rye,
consumed a greater amount of alfalfa
hay during the tests than pigs fed
straight barley or ration containing
a high percentage of barley. Alfalfa
hay was before the pigs at all times
but the lrgest amounts were consum-
ed during the first one hundred days
of the test.
Tests Started in 1921
The results obtained through the
three tests which have been carried
to completion are summarized in the
accompanying tables. Two of the
tests in which fall pigs were used
present similar problems and the re-
suits are shown in the form of aver
ages in table No. 1. The initial test
with fall pigs was started on Deem
Der 4, 1921, and closed April l, 1922,
occupying period of 11S days. The
second test with fall pigs was started
81, 1922, and was closed
on April 10, 1928, occupying a pc
riod of 143 days.
The results of the test shown in
table No. 2 represents summary of
a fall finishing test carried on with
1922 spring pigs. This test was start
ed October 27, and closed December
8, 1922, occupying period of AZ
days.

BY A. Il. BAKER

"HE results obtained at the North
Y Montana substation in feeding
u tests with pure bred Duroc-Jer-
sey pigs carried on during the last
two years indicate that dry land rye
compares very favorably with barley
for growing and fattening pigs.
The gains produced by pigs fed
straight rye supplemented by alfalfa
hay were more economical from the
standpoint of feed required to pro-
duce one pound of gain and the total
cost of feeds consumed than were
gains produced by pigs fed straight
barley and the same supplement.
Pigs grown out and fattened on
straight rye or ration containing a
high percentage or rye do not seem
to possess as large an amount of
finish when an average weight of
200 pounds has been reached, as do
pigs grown out and finished on
straight barley or ration containing
a high percentage of barley. Pigs
fed rye seem to grow out more slowly
and acquire greater bone and mus
cular development before the actual
fattening process sets in, while pigs
fed barley finish off more rapidly
and as a rule dress out higher per
cent of carcass.
Feed Cost Reduced
Barley and rye mixed in equal pro-
portions and supplemented with al
falfa hay seem to produce more sat
isfactory results than either of the
grains when fed straight. The equal
part mixture requires less feed than
barley to produce a pound
of gain and the feed cost of the ra-
tion is decreased due to the lower
market value of the rye. The fatten-
