Those fellows who are planning
on doing any fishing should see
Warden Macomber or Prof. Bellatty
about fish licenses. 1t is much
cheaper to buy license at the begin
ming of the season than to be caught
without one.
Frank r. Glynn and Mrs. Glynn
arrived in Ellsworth yesterday for
a two weeks vacation. Mr.. Glynn is
now assistant advertising manager
of the Houghton & Dutton Co OF
Boston, having received his training
in this work at the College of Bust
ness Administration.
Dean Everett w. Lord, dean of the
Boston University College of Bust
ness Administration, Will arrive IN
Ellsworth in time to spend the Fourth
of July with the summer school boys.
He was expected last Monday, when
he was to hold the formal opening
of the 1928 summer session, but was
detained in Boston, so will address
the boys on the Fourth instead.
That it pays to advertise, and that
il pays to take advertising courses
and to come to the B. U. summer
school, is shown by the success OF
Richard Faulkner. Dick spent his
summer last year studying adVerus-
ing and writing for Bangor paper,
and now he is advertising manager
of the Movie Home Journal, maya
zine covering thirty-tive large cities
in the U. S.
AT last Prof. Bellatty has found
large enough quarters to accom-
modate the class in commercial
Spanish. Senior Acevedo is instruct
ing the class and is getting along
very we'll with it; in fact, he Is now
able to call the students by name
both of them. They are Patrick +.

many colleges would provide an IN
structor for only two students.
The reception and dance given by
the board of trade to the summer
school boys and instructors last
Wednesday evening was most sue

boys did not get back from the Dall
game at Great Works until late In
the evening, they appeared at the
party in time to enjoy few dances
and to meet the people OF Ellsworth
AS many of the boys are here for the
first time, it presented fine OPP
portunity for them to get acquainted

EASTERNS HERE FRIDAY.

Next Friday b. U. will play one
of it's biggest games of the season
here on its home grounds, at wy
man park, when it takes on the
Easterns of South Brewer. 1t Will be
a much stronger team than the one
which gave the summer school boys
such a run two weeks ago.
Kelley, the Boston college ace, VIII
be with the visitors, and Will, no
doubt, make it lively game for the
B. L. boys Kelley has been playing
a wonderful game this spring, and
will surely be big asset to the
Easterns. However, the B. u, boys
are anxious to get up against him,
and it looks like a great game for
this week.
Parent, the former Red SoX and
Sanford player, will also be with the
visitors, and they will have Leet, the
Amherst pitcher, and Golambeskie,
the Bar Harbor and Holy Cross man.
The game starts at $50. All the
B. U. boys are planning on being
there, and a great many of the towns
people will be on hand to support
the summer school boys. Those who
are not able to make the game will
sure miss one of the best battles of
the year.

with p. c. F., and came home with
the short end of a 1913 score and the
unpleasant feeling that the game
should have been B. us but for
some decisions which even some p.
c. F. players admitted were rather
raw, and which helped the mill boys
put over four runs in the ninth in

FATTEMIMG OF CALVES INTO
BABY BEEF SPECIALISTS JOB

Nebraska station last winter where
the calves, after 100 days of feed
ing were appraised at So as kill
ers" and $8.25 as feeders"
1t takes time to finish out baby
beeves. After the first 120 to 140
days, they begin to put on fat and
then finish out in not less than 90
to 80 days. They cannot be fin
ished out we'll in less than 200 days.
Anyone who tries to finish them
out in less time should also prepare
to take the risk of low prices for
the spread between a calf fed 120
to 140 days and one fed 200 days
is usually the spread between a
good feeder and a choice baby beef.
Most of the profit comes from that
spread and he who misses the
spread usually misses the profit.
Calves can be fed on less margin
than older stock. With fat stock
the selling price per hundred is
usually higher than the buying
price and this difference in price
Cor margin) on the original weight
of the steer assists materially the
chances for a profit. The calves,
however, are light in weight and
the spread between buying and
selling price is usually very mar
row. When a profit is made under
such circumstances it means that
the gains have been put on for less
than the selling price and this de-
mands exceptionally skilful feed
ing and very careful selection of
the rations used and favorable feed
prices.
Alfalfa and corn is good ration
for baby beeves as both feeds are
very palatable and a combination
IF the two furnish all the muscle,
bone, and fat building materials,
md all the vitamines needed. Ex-
oeriments carried on recently at the
Nebraska station showed that the

Adding linseed oil meal to the

when the 1856 days were ended were

yet were too fat to go out on the

idea that if you do try to make
baby beef and don't succeed, the
calves can be turned on grass and
good results obtained. This APP

GULL OUT HENS IF
THEY DO NOT LAY

Gull hens are more profitable on
the farm table or in the town mar
ket than running with the laying
stock through the winter months,
says H. E. Cushman, poultry special
list of the Montana Extension Ser
vice. Farmers should be looking
over their flocks and separating the
producers from the non producers, it
is held.
Hens chosen for the "breadwin-
ners" and placed with the laying
stock for this winter should have a
well developed and high comb. Also
the birds themselves should be we'll
developed and ready to lay. A hen
that is ready to lay can be distin-
guished by the depth of body, dis
lance between pelvic bones, red
combs and moist vent.
No birds should be placed with the
laying stock that have any deform-
ity such as crooked beaks, crooked
backs, or crooked breast bones. In
fact, these kind of birds are "crook-
ed'-they'll eat your feed but won't
pay for it with eggs.
Low vitality or too close inbreed-
ing may be distinguished in birds
with too long legs, standing high off
the ground, or birds having long,
drawn-out heads.
No bird should be put in winter
quarters that has cold, swollen eyes
or that has trouble in breathing.
Such birds are liable to infect the
rest of the stock and in addition are
generally poor layers for that year.
If possible all birds picked to house
for winter should be leg-banded with
a colored band. This will be means
of Identification when the layers are
turned out in the summer with the
other flocks.

LIVESTOCK REPORT

The runs still keep up, and receipts for
the first two days of this week total 1872
$50 cattle against 1S5,920 head for last week
for the same period, according to WELLER
& WELLER of South st. Paul. The trade
has been very mean not only on this mar
ket, but on every market in the country
and the main reason we believe is the ex-
tremely warm weather experienced all over
and the high price of corn at the present
time. Chicago reports today slightly bet
ter action, and we believe, in our butcher
division, the females are sellinng steady
to 25c higher in spots. This slight raise
is hardly noticeable on account of the very
last two or three weeks. The big bulk of
the receipts coming are of poor quality.
Killing Cattle
The top sale on beef cattle for some time
was a small bunch of grain fed yearlings
that brought $1,000 recently. The bulk of
the grass fat steers have cleared from 81 so
to $3.50, although some extra good west
ems would bring up to $500 and 1925
although the bulk coming are selling under
$3.50. Yesterday we sold one or two lots
at $500. These were very good With q
little colder weather in sight the prospects
are for q strengthening in the butcher divi-
sion, and we believe that shippers can ex-
pect q little better deal The best grades |
of grass fat heifers are selling from So 90 |
to 5000 with the bulk from $3.50 to 1925 |
Best grades of cows from $500 to $500 |
with the bulk from 1925 to $500 Gamers
and cutters sold mainly from 1925 to $780,
Bologna bulls show a little more strength |
than last week at this time, although very
little change in price. Bulk selling from
$3.25 to $3.75 with few choice heavy bulls
up to $500. Veal calves steady 1918 to
$1,000 with odd head at a premium Culls
$3.50 to $3.50, with choice heavy western
calves $5.25 to 1925.
StOckers and Feeders
The high price of corn at the present
time is one of the main causes of the bad
action in this division. Feeder buyers APP
pear to be afraid to go up against this
class of cattle, even at the reduced prices
in face of a further advance in corn prices
Practically the only kind that are moving
with any degree of alacrity is the we'll
bred and good conditioned steers and even
on these we find the trade slow and sticky. ,
A few real choice ones would bring up to
500, but the bulk have sold In the range
of $500 to $500. There has been quite a
number of westerns and Canadians in the ,
trade the last few days, and very few of ,
them have cleared over 5000 per cwt.. with
the inbetween kinds down to $500 and +
ones in spots as low as $500 Bow L
vows moving at Gamer prices. There are (
inquiries for stockers and feed :
ers, and while we do not look for this trade I

look for it to hold steady. Feeding cows !

as the hay and corn, although they
will produce little higher finish.
Silage is sometimes used sue
cessfully for baby beef production
but where plenty of alfalfa hay can
be secured at reasonable prices, it
is not profitable to use silage to
any large extent.
Oats are excellent for starting
the calves on feed but once on feed
the amount should probably not
exceed about one-third of the grain
ration. Recent experiments at the
station indicate that it
does not pay to grind corn and
oats for calves.

ply to those that have had a couple
of pounds of grain all winter long
to keep them growing well.
Some rations that should prove
satisfactory for baby beef produc-
ton in Montana are given below.
In these rations the average" con-
sumption is given and it must be
remembered that sometimes the
amount fed will be considerably
above this and at other times
equally far below. Timothy and
clover or sweet clover hay can be
substituted for alfalfa, and barley
for corn, or oats for IA to 1-3 of
either of these grains.
Ration alfalfa, 5 pounds;
corn, II pounds.
Ration II-Alfalfa, 2 IL lbs;
silage, 10 lbs, corn, 9 lbs.
Due to the fact that these calves
are both growing and fattening, it
is necessary to give them plenty of
feed containing muscle and bone
materials. This fact elm
mates the possibility of using any
large amounts of such feeds as
corn slower and fodder.

poultry shows to be held in many
parts of the state during next
month.
The show of primary import
ance to corn growers will be the
State Corn Show, to be held this
year at Miles City, Nov. Is to II,
inclusive. The North Montana
Corn show perhaps ranks second

| baby beef is the most highly
specialized form of beef cattle
feeding and the man who has had
no experience in fattening beef cat
tie will do we'll to try his skill on
the older cattle before he tackles
the youngsters, says R. B. Millin,
livestock specialist of the State
College Extension Service in let
ter to Montana cattlemen on fat
tening cattle. If the feeder makes
a success of the other cattle he
stands good chance of making a
success with the "babies." If he
does not make a success of the
others his disappointments will be
fewer and his losses probably less
than with the calves.
Strictly speaking, baby beef is
produced from animals IA to Is
of age that have been heav-
lily fed since weaving time. Con-
trary to opinions in certain quar-
tiers, yearlings and two-year-olds
that have been fattened do not
pass through the markets as baby
beef.
The time to start making baby
beef is before the calf is weaned if
conditions permit. At this time the
calves should be taught to eat
grain. If this is done, there will be
practically no set back at weaving
time. After weaving the calves
should be placed in the feed lot
and the feeding operations COM
If the calves have not |
earned to eat grain before wean-
ng, they should be started on a
pound a day until all have learned
0 eat it.
The work of castrating, dehorn-
ng and vaccinating for blackleg
nay be done at any time up to
bout six months of age, but
hould be done when it is liable
D cause the least set back to the
alves.
One thing to be guarded against
the loss of the milk fat on the !
alf. If the feeder can get the calf {
-eaned, castrated, dehorned, vac {
mated, and started on feed with
ut the loss of any milk fat, he has
God reason to be pleased.
Having gotten the calf started to +
lting grain, the next problem is T
increase his grain gradually I'M :
he is on full feed and then to
eep him there. Directions pre-
ously given concerning the meth
Is of increasing the grain ration
ould be considerably modified
re as the calves will not con-
me large amounts of grain at
st. The amount can be worked
to four to six pounds day fair
rapidly without the calves going
feed but after that the increase
amount of grain will have to be
wv but gradual to the end of the
,ding period. Though the amount
grain will increase throughout
: feeding period, the amount of
y needed per day will decrease.
The most common source of dis
pointment to feeders who are
ldling their first bunch of baby
ives is in the price received if
y market before the calves are
ished properly. A calf put in
feed lot and fed heavily will
Ike good gains for the first 100
IS but he grows instead of fat
ing and the result is that if the
is put on the market at the
of 120 days he sells as feed
instead of killer" This was

WALTER HILL IMPORTS FINE
SCOTCH HIGHLAND LIVESTOCK

The herd of thoroughbred High
land cattle, valued at $4,000, pur-
chased by Walter Hill, son of the late
J. J. Hill, last fall in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, for his 10,000-acre ranch
on Goat mountain, near Wilsall, has
arrived there. The herd is composed
of three bulls and 80 heifers. They
are short-legged animals with hair
about IL inches long and are primar-
lily beef cattle. This is the first ship
ment of the Scotch Highland cattle
brought into this country, and it is
said that they are the hardest cattle
in the world. Hill believes that the
climate of Montana will be particul-
arly adapted to the raising of this
breed. The herd will be the nucelus
of large herd, and the increase will
be registered in, the first herd book
of Highlands in this country.
A. w. Rose, of Lawrence Kirk,
Scotland, was in
charge of the herd, accompanied by
two Highland boys of Inverness. The
two boys expect to remain in the en-
ploy of Mr.s.Hial TO Hook after this
herd at his Goat mountain ranch.
The herd left Glasgow on Decem-
Der Is aboard the Donaldson freight
er, Lakonia, and Mr.. Ross says that
it was a very hard trip, the ship
having encountered bad storms on the
voyage across the ocean as we'll as
encountering severe weather from
Baltimore to Livingston, but the herd
arrived there in fine shape.

HOW ANACONDA MAN MAKES
HANDSOME POULTRY PROFIT

How one man with a small poultry
farm near Anaconda made profit
in a few months which would have
been a handsome income for year
Is related in the Montana Develop
ment association bulletin just pub
lished.
The bulletin tells how H. S. Crosby
of Anaconda during the dull winter
months netted profit of from $2e
to $25 per day from his poultry
which he keeps on small plot OF
ground which he has leased. Last
spring he purchased 1899 White Leg
horn baby chicks. AS his coekerels
grew large enough for market he sold
them as fryers at from 50 cents to
so cents per pound. As fryers at this
price they netted him more than they
would have if he had kept them un-
til fall when they would have been
larger and would have brought a
much lower price.
After disposing Of his eeskerels he
had 700 pullets left. He completed
house 20 feet by 1es feet by Octo-
Der 1 and the first day after his pull
lets were moved into It they laid 12S
eggs. BY November l they had in
creased this to 400 eggs per day and
through the months of November and
December they laid an average of
from 45O to 460 eggs per day. Dur
ing these two months he received an
average price of rs cents per dozen
for his eggs. His feed averaged six
dollars daily.
Mr.. Crosby is no wizard but he
made it a point to get tainted
with Biddy and her require {. He
is well satisfied with his first venture
in poultry raising and has ordered
1000 baby chicks for delivery in the
spring.
