Food Manufacturer Launches
National Drive for NelU Recipes
OVER $500 TO BEST RECIPES RECEIVED

A nationwide campaign, which
will give every housewife in America
chance to prove her inventive abil-
ity in the culinary field, was launched
May LIST by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Inc, of Battle Creek, Michigan, man
ufacturer of Grape-Nuts.
Grocers are being supplied with
circulars, for free distribution over
their counters, giving full particu-
lars of the plan which is expected to
reveal not less than one hundred new
uses for Grape-Nuts.
For more than rs years, Grape
Nuts has been sold and advertised
as a cereal food. But interesting let
tiers from women in all parts of the
country, describing the many at
tractive dishes they are making with
Grape-Nuts, have convinced the man
ufacturers that a national drive for
new uses of Grape-Nuts should devel-
op host of valuable suggestions,
which will be warmly welcomed by
busy housewives everywhere.
Not less than 101 recipes or sug-
gestions will be purchased at $50
each and $4,000 additional, divided
into four awards of $1,000, $3.50,
$500, and $3.50 respectively, will be
paid for the four best recipes or sug-
gestions submitted. Good Housekeep-
ing Institute, conducted by Good
Housekeeping Magazine, will decide
the four recipes or suggestions en-
titled to these special awards.

ABOUT BUILDING "A RESERVOIR;
HOW TO SELECT THE SITE

masonry, steel or other expensive
materials is to be built, it should be
designed by a competent engineer
and constructed under his direction.
But there are many places where the
farmer can build a dam at small ex-
pense outside of his own labor.
The earthen dam can be build on
variety of foundations and when
properly constructed furnishes a safe
and reliable structure. The founda-
ton for an earthen dam should con-
tain an impervious stratum at mod
crate depth. Compact clay or hard
pan makes the best foundation. Solid
rock without assures also forms a
good foundation. Solid, we'll COM
pacted clay should be used near the
upper face of the dam.
Imperviousness may be secured
when necessary by the use of core
wall. 1t may be made of puddled
clay, masonry, concrete, steel or
other suitable material 1t should be
built near the upper face of the dam.
The junction between the dam and
the earth or other foundation must
be carefully made tight so no seep-
age will start along this surface to
produce leakage. If seepage does
start there is great danger that the
water will eventually wash out the
dam. All vegetation, and humus
should be removed from the founda-
ton to the outer toe of the dam and
a trench dug through the soil to the
stratum to be filled with
clay.

SWEET CLOVER is
GOOD FOR bessie
EXPERIMENT DEMONSTRATES
IT'S FOOD VALUE IN YIELD
OF MILK
Four Acres Maintained Cows Pro-
ducing 1898 Pounds of Milk in
a Single Season, or a Profit of
Nearly 500 Per Acre.

Sweet clover makes an excellent
pasture for milk cows, according to
recent tests, and it is possible to OBJ
tain a continuous pasture with sweet
clover by allowing it to seed itself
every year or by seeding it each win
ter or spring.
Six Holstein cows were turned into
a sweet clover pasture of not quite
four acres in May of last year.
The pasture used was the second
years growth, this field having been
seeded the year previous with oats
and the clover harvested for hay. The
plants made an early start and had
a good growth when the cattle were
turned in.
The entire number were kept on
this field continuously for 40 days,
and because the dry season checked
the growth of the clover three cows
were removed at this time. AS the
pasture improved later, one cow was
returned on August 5, and after that
time four COWS were pastured con-
tinuously until October 1. The COWS
were kept on the sweet clover pas
ture day and night. The only food
received by the COWS outside the pas
ture was grain ration composed of
corn chop, bran, and oil meal, fed in
the proportion of one pound of grain
to each four pounds of milk pro-
duced per day.
Milk Worth $88 To Acre
During the period the cows were
on the pasture, the total amount of
milk produced was 19,393.5 pounds,
containing 680.58 pounds of butter
fat. The COWS consumed 4,602S
pounds of grain. Figuring the milk
produced worth 20 cents a gallon
and the grain fed $50 ton, one acre
of pasture produced sS8.46 worth
of milk. On the butter fat basis,
with butter fat at only 40 cents per
pound, one acre produced $40.85 of
fat exclusive of the skim milk.
The total number of days of pas
ture obtained by all COWS in the lot
to 618 days, an average of
154.55 days for four cows. At this
rate the pasture of 38 acres kept
four cows for approximately five

Poultry Stock
How Two Bankers Are Helping
Out the Farmers of the North
Country
(Montana Experiment station)

| (Montana Experiment Station)
Until we have better stock we are
never going to have uniform prod
uct from our poultry nor will one
ever take the same interest in &
scrub flock that will be taken in the
standard bred birds, says H. E. Cush-
man, Extension Service poultry spe-
cialist.
Two bankers in this state, Mr.
Burks of Chinook and Mr.. Arnot OF
Glasgow are far enough sighted to
realize this and are giving their CO.
operation in what is known as the
"Pullet Auction Sale" project. 1t is
a plan for bringing in standard bred
stock into a county and will, in the
end, standardize the birds of that
county. This latter phase cannot be
over-estimated, especially when you
consider the difficulty experienced
this year in obtaining enough eggs of
standard bred birds to supply coun-
ty on given date.
The plan, as developed, is as fol-
lows: Setting of eggs we're obtained
by the banker, with the aid of the
extension service, and put out, five
settings to farmer. The farmer, in
turn, agrees to set, care for eggs and
raise the chicks to the best of his
ability. Then in the fall he returns
two pullets for every setting of eggs
received. These pullets are to be
graded and sold at a public auction
sale, hence the name of the project
'Pullet Auction Sale" The proceeds
of the sale go to the banker to REIN
burse him for money expended on
eggs this spring.
The Blaine county sale will be held
at the Corn Show which comes off in
November. The Valley county one
will be held about the same time.
Blaine county is putting in Rose
Comb Rhode Island Reds, while Val
ley county has the Barred Plymouth
Rocks. Mr.. Gustafson, the Blaine
county agent, firmly states that
Blaine county will be the r. c. R. I.
R. county of the state. That's good
news. In the future if we want a
hundred or more setting eggs for a
certain date all we will have to do
Is to get in touch with the Blaine
County Poultry Association and the
eggs will be forthcoming. Likewise
we will send to Glasgow for Rocks.

MANY CASES OF
G0ITER IN STATE
LEWISTOWN LEADS WITH ONE.
THIRD OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
AFFLICTED

Switzerland was long the center of
the goiter trouble. Montana lately
has been receiving attention from
medical men and health authorities
because it is in district in which
the disease is prevalent. Once it was
thought that the high mountains of
Switzerland had something to do
with the disease, but now it is known
that lack of iodine in food and water,
affecting the thyroid gland, is res
ponsible for it. Interesting statis-
tics have just been given out by a
federal health service physician, DR..
F. T. Foard of Great Falls, relative
to its prevalence in the state.
1t is stated that Lewistown has the
largest number of cases among the
school children of any city in the
state, there being 322 pupils afflicted
out of a total of 935, which is a per-
centage of 34.4. OF the 1922 the
girls numbered 219 and the boys 1O3.
Speaking of this matter, a news story
said:
At the Lewistown high school,
out of 626 pupils examined, of
both sexes, 216, or approximately
Alb per cent, had goiter. CLASH
fled by sexes, out of 1853 girls ex-
amined, 1913 or approximately 54.5
per cent, were afflicted with goi-
ter, while among the boys in the
high school, out of 263 examined,
So, or about 23.5 per cent, had
goiter
Carbon county ranks second in
the state with a total of 3O.3 per
cent, as against 374 per cent in
Lewistown, including all schools.
Cascade county is credited with
percentage of 1872; Lewis and
Clark, including Helena and part
of the county, 1876 per cent; yell
lowstone county, exclusive of Bill
lings, Is per cent, and so on down
the list to the city of Havre, which
has the lowest record of any city
in the state examined so far, with |
a total of 81 per cent.
Goiter is very disfiguring, the neck I
in some cases becoming much en-
larged and misshapen. The disease
can be prevented and cured by the
administration of iodine in the water.
1t is said that Lewistown and some
other places will begin treating the
pupils of the public schools for goi-
ter. The treatment is simple and not
costly, and the condition, having
been recognized, will be effectively
1ealt with.

I'm selecting a reservoir site one
wants to take into consideration
n the fall of the land that is to be
submerged, the character Of the soil,
the use he will have for the water,
and whether or not he can get the
water out by gravity for use on the
land that is to be irrigated, says H. e.
Murdoch, agricultural engineer at
the Montana Experiment Station.
There are very few places where it
will pay to store water to be pumped
on the land afterward.
There are a great many natural
reservoir sites in the coulees of Mon
tana. They are ordinarily a wide
flat bottom in the coulee with mar
row outlet. If there is natural
spillway somewhere away from
where the dam is to be, it is great
advantage, and farmers can not af-
ford to do quite bit of extra work
to be able to use the natural spill
way. Sometimes the reservoir site
will not be in the main coulee at all
but away from it in some natural
lake bottom, in this case a diversion
ditch is necessary to carry the flood
water to the reservoir, and should
be made large enough to fill the res
ervoir within the average flood sea-
son of the coulee that it is to be
taken from. In any case the reser-
voir site should be selected that will
hold the most water with the least
amount of labor and cash outlay in
building the dam, diversion and spill
way, and in getting the water to the
land that is to be irrigated.
When the reservoir site has been
selected and the dam site determin- |
ed, definite figures should be obtain
ed as to the height of the dam, the |
width at the top and bottom, the |
slopes of the upper and lower faces,

State Entomologist r. A. Cooley of

conditions exist which will permit the
destruction of the young hoppers by
less expensive method. Some stub.
BILE fields and fields full of dead dry
weeds may be burned over, produc-
ing heat enough to kill the Young
hoppers. A few seconds of high tenn
perature will kill them. Of course,
every farmer will have sense enough
not to start fire that will endanger
property"
The practice of burning to kill the
young hoppers has been urged by a
number of county agents and farmers
who have found this method effect
i've. Where burning is not done the
next means of control is the use of
poisoned bran mash, which will pro-

to scatter the poisoned bran mash SO
that it does not fall in Jumps on the

mash has absolutely no danger for

BANKS HAVE Agreed
To help MEMORIAL

All the local banking institutions
have generously agreed to lend their
efforts in the direction of accepting
donations to the Warren G. Harding
Memorial fund, which is being raised
by voluntary contributions from
citizens of both political parties all
over the United States. There will
be no regular drive, campaign or So
licitation of any kind, the idea being
that all those who wish may give
whatever amount they desire. The
names of all donors, however, will be
engrOssed on a contributors scroll and
preserved in one of Harding Memorial
buildings.
The money obtained through the ma
tion-wide opportunity to give will be
used in building a suitable mausoleum
at Marion, Ohio, which is to be the
last earthly resting place of the dead
president. Also, the intentions are to
purchase the old Harding homestead
at Marion, and there to erect shrine
for the books, speeches and other per-
sonal effects of the deceased. Further
plans are to endow a chair of political
science in some university.
Charles Leonard, of Butte, has been
named the Montana chairman to look
after the funds subscribed in this
state. Mr.. Leonard has named sub
chairmen in all the counties of the
state, and Senator W. E. Harmon will
have charge of Gallatin county. Sena-
tor Harmon has named the following
assistants: George Lewis, Manhat-
tan; Ralph Robertson, Three Forks

FRANK VEACH dies
SUDDENLY At Home

Frank Veach, aged 54 years, one of
Gallatin county's most highly respec-
ted and public spirited citizens, died
suddenly Sunday morning at his home
in Three Forks from what is supposed
to have been an internal hemorrhage
caused by the rupturing of a blood
vessel.
He had returned to the house after
attending to his Sunday morning
chores in the poultry houses and barn
and was getting ready to attend
church with Mrs. Veach, when he was
attacked with violent vomiting spell.
1t is thought that the involuntary eff
fort of vomiting ruptured a blood
vessel that had been weakened as the
result of serious abdominal opera
ton performed about a year ago and
from the effects of which it was
thought he had entirely recovered. He
expired within five minutes after be-
