Alexander Majors, probably due
to the fact that he personally spent
but little time in the territory, Maj
ors, was a man whose influence was
felt to a considerable extent in the
early development of Montana, en-
tering as it did into his business
connections with the entire west.
Majors firm was n of the pi-
oneer freighting concerns of the
country extending from the Missis-
sippi west to the Pacific and it was
the original organizer of the fam
Gus Pony Express.
Alexander Majors was born Oct.
4, 1874, near Franklin, KY, and
when five years old was taken by
his parents to Missouri. He died in
1900, but before he reached the pc
Rod of decline he wrote his mem
oirs of his life on the border, which
was published in 1898 under the
title of Seventy Years on the
Frontier" 1t was Majors who first
introduced Col. w. F. Cody, Buff
alo Bill" to his life as a plains
man, and it was to Col. Cody that
Majors dedicated his book in the
words cas- a tribute of sincere re-
gard for w. F. Cody, as boy and
man, my friend for two-score years,
I dedicate to him this book of bord-
er life"

which he referred to his former en-
ployer in the following terms:

SINGLE ROOF CONFEDERATION

Ninety-nine per cent of the burned
homes were rooted with redwood
shingles, made in California"
After the conflagration the city
council of Berkely unanimously pass
ed a roofing code, requiring fire re-
sisting roof coverings, and permitting
only a 25 per cent repair of existing

ing shingles and embers are carried
many blocks, starting many separate

DRUNKEN DRIVERS

It is high time the legislature and
judicial authorities began to consider
the crime (the word is used advised
ly) of drunkenness when driving a
motor car as something infinitely
more serious than is drunkenness I'M
der ordinary circumstances. Prohibi-
ton is as yet too new for the world
old opinion of the drunken man, as
one to be laughed at, pitied, perhaps,
put to bed to sober up, fined small
sum as a public nuisance, to change
at least overnight.
But drunkenness which can harm
no one but the inebriated man is one
thing; drunkenness which is menace
to all who use the streets and roads,
and which via the car, converts the
otherwise innocuous victim of his APP
petite to a potentially wholesale muir
derer, is entirely something else.
Sentiment is swinging over to re-
garding the drunken driver as one
who commits more than a misde-
meanor; but it should swing faster
and go further. The man who, drunk,
drives car or truck, is a mailman;
man without sense, without reason
ability, without judgement. He puts
in Jeopardy the lives of men, women,
and children. He endangers property.
He may cause frightful loss of life.
hideous mamings, terrible accidents.
No maniac with gun is allowed up
on the streets; the man who deliber-
ately makes himself maniac and fits
himself out with car loaded with
potential death for many, should be
dealt with with the utmost severity.
A few dollars fine, few days in
jail, the loss of license, are not
enough. The man who runs amuck
with gun, killing and manning, gets
ars behind the bars. The man who
runs amuck with car while drunk
is even more culpable.
Let judges once get it through
their precedent bound legal minds
lat it is not the drunkenness, but
the drunken driving which is the
rhine, and our already crowded hard
roads will be safer for us all; our
children, our women drivers, as well
as our sober citizens protected, as
they have right to be, from men
ace which has no excuse legal or
social, for existing.

THE HORSE COMING BACK

The Projectors of the horseless age
lost sight of the fact that there is
another element to reckon with, be-
side the one of the mere usefulness
of the horse. Human gratitude, for
that long career of service, without
which civilization would not have
made it's present strides, has created
bond of attachment between man
and the horse that will not be easily
broken. The time when man first dis
covered the docile and tractable, quail
ties of the horse is not known. Al
though the OK, as a domestic work ami
NAL, is doubtless of greater age, the
horse was known as a military aid,
first for cavalry and later for chariot
use, nearly as long ago as written
records of history extend. In the wars
between Persia, Egypt and Greece the
side was often victorious that had
the most and the best horses. The
staed Of the Arab is a classic of prin-
tive romance Those nations that
made the best use of the horse made
the most rapid progress in the evolu-
ton of culture.

Experiments With Skim
Milk for Calf Feeding
BY: r. S. HULcE, r. 3. MORRISON

CoNSlN AGRICULTURAL
EXPERIMENT STATION

Where there is an abundance OF
skimmi1k for calf feeding, the raising
of vigorous dairy calves can be IA sed
when changed to skimmiIk at but a
few weeks of age as those which are
fed whole milk until weaving time.
However, when liberal supply of
skimmilk is not at hand, the problem
is more complicated
Over increasing areas of our coun-
try dairymen do not have an abund-
ance of skimmilk for feeding their
calves. They may sell cream to the
creamery, but may wish to use part
of the skimmilk for feeding swine or
poultry. In several large districts
dairymen now sell their milk to con-
denseries or ship it to city markets.
thus having no skimmilk whatsoever
available. In cheese-producing dis
tricts plenty Of whey is available for
calf feeding, but such poor results
have been secured by most farmers
with this dairy by-product that prob
ably the majority make no attempt to
use it for this purpose.
Conduct Three Trials
Three trials have been, conducted
under varying conditions for the past
three years to determine the mo t
economical rations for dairy calves.
Each year high grade Holstein and
Guernsey heifer calves have been pur
chased and used for experiments. Ex-
perimental work was begun when
they were two or three weeks of age
Up to this time they had received
whole milk as is the universal prac
tice in feeding dairy calves. The cal
yes were continued Gu experiment fol
"a weeks or until they hads reached
the age of six months. It was fell
that this time would cover the entire
period during which skimmilk substi
tutes are ordinarily fed.
Calves from the two different
breeds were used so that the results
would apply to both types of calves
skim Milk Fed Calves Gain
Each year Lot /, the check lot, has
been fed the sort of ration used by
dairymen who have plenty of skim
milk. The calves we're fed whole
milk until q days of age at the rats
of about one pound of whole milk
daily to each 10 pounds of live
weight When a calf became 81 days
old a week to 10 days was taken tC
gradually substitute skimmilk for the
whole milk. The allowance of skim
milk was then gradually increased tC

This lot was fed concentrate mix
ture consisting three parts by weight
of ground oats four of ground corn
two of wheat bran, and one of lin
seed meal. The calves were allowed
to eat all of this mixture they want d
up to five pounds head daily. They
also had all the hay they would con
sumo Glover hay in the first two
trials, and mixed clover and timothy
hay in the present trial) Care was
taken to provide salt, and the calves
were watered twice daily.
