Increase In Registered Seed
Indications are that Fergus county
farmers will have their supply OF
registered seed wheat greatly in
creased next spring according to a
report from the office of County
Agent Carl Peterson. AS a part of
the better seed work carried on by
the Extension service during the past
season, five farmers grew 63 acres Of
registered Marquis wheat for seed,
all of which will be available for seed
next spring.
Surplus Hay in Blaine County
A surplus of 200 tons of alfalfa
and 100 tons of blue joint hay besides
considerable quantity of range grass
and other hays will be available from
Phillips county according to H. L.
Lantz, county agent. Hay conditions
during the season have been excel
lent and accounts for the large sur
plus. An effort is being made through
the county agents office to dispose OF
the surplus in the dry sections o.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, where
a shortage Of feed is reported.
Use Care in Pasturing Sweet Glover
Occasional losses of horses due to
impaction when turned out on sweet
clover pasture are reported to county
agents. Investigations have shown
that such losses are comparatively
few, but that they do occur is suffi-
cient reason for caution. 1t has been
found that most Of such losses occur
when sweet clover has started to
seed, that is when the stems become
hard and woody. 1t is urged that
horses should only be turned out on
such sweet clover after they have
had a good feed, and should be taken
from the pasture at the first sign of
digestive disturbances.
What Is a Weanling Worth?
What is a pig worth at weaving
time? This is a question often asked
and too often answered by guess.
Live stock specialists have made q
study of the matter and arrive at the
conclusion that on the average a pig
at weaving time will be worth APP

Weekly News Letter
From State College
Famous Milk Producers
J. C. TAYLOR,

P%araphrasing a famous slogan Of
other days, The cow that made Nc
Demand Famous may very apdv
apply to E. I. McDermand of Hunt
iey' Montana. From just an ordi-
nary good farmer, known to q few
OIL his friends and n~eighbors, he has
suddenly become famous throughout
the northwest as the owner of the
great cow Pleasant Grove Snowflake
mat recently won for herself the
place OF fourth highest milk produc-
ing cow in Montana. The production
OF over $1,000 pounds of milk in =
year Is IN itself a rather outstanding
performance, even in this day of high
records, but when a cow makes SUCH
a record under ordinary farm condj-
lions, without special care or atten-
tlon and without the preparatory fit
ting and conditioning that usually
comes before a great record is at
tempted, that performance NAV be
classed as remarkable.
). 0. Tretsven, dairy specialist for
the Montana State College Extension
service, speaks of the performance as
one OF the truly high spots in Mon
tana's dairy history" AS a milk pro-
ducer, Snowflake is only excelled in
the safe by the famous world clam
plon, Grace KOningen and bv two
cows OF the Hofstetter herd at Lew
lstown. SnOwflake's record was 27,-
l24.7 pounds of milk or 1O69.5
pounds Of butter in 345 days. It is
generally conceded that with a little
more care and attention the record
could have been considerably i'm
prove.
Snowflake's feed during the test
period was ample but not elaborate
and at no time was she given anv-
thing but ordinary home grown feels.
During the winter time she was Civ
en- all the alfalfa she would eat. 40
to % pounds of corn siIage and i
to 20 pounds of grain Tn. grain
consisted of ground corn, oats and
barley and a small amount of ii3seed
oil meal, the latter feed not exceed
ing $50 pounds for the entire test
period.
The record was made as a six-year.
DID, starting after freshening with
her fourth calf, May 2, 1928. During
the test Mr.. McDermand cared for
from eight to 10 other COW. and Ear
RED on his regular farm duties. which
according to Mr.. Tretsven is b,r an
other way of saying that Snowflake
was not pampered. The barn which
housed this great producer .alcng
with the other members of the lift,
farm herd was of the shed roof TYNE.
and could scarcely have cost more
than $50 when it was built.

 The sharp ears of the raspicker heard him. "I can get rid of this load when I wish," he said. See !'' and he swung the bag to the ground.

Fobs As Modish As In The Days
 Of LongAgo
PAGE 8

The fob that was so fashionable in thu eighties is again quite as modish as it was in those days when mother and grandmother used it as prac- tical appendage to the watch which was either tucked out of sight between the buttons on the front of the bodice. or dangled from the ribbon or metal fob attached to the belt.
 Now it not only serves as a decora- tive touch to the dress, but no cos tune is quite complete without fob somewhere. It is quite a necessary adjunct to the smart tailleur where it may be suspended from the pocket or on the lapel.
 As hat trimming the fob is highly favored, These dangling ornaments in rhinestones. frosted crystals or col ored stones. among which jade is es- specially prominent. may be pinned at the front of the otherwise plain tur- ban or hang over the crown at the sides of the cloche.
 And now the new envelope bags dis play fob attached at the side A black moire bag with frosted crystal fob set in marcasite is an offering in one shop.
 4 moire ribbon with the bar in rhine stones and the novel shaped pendant of jet and rhinestones is one of the many exquisite fobs displayed in another shop. A white gold watch attached to a fob with white gold trimmings is a practical suit fob as suggested in a leading shop.

LISTENING IN ON EYE
The Burden

Slowly down the ally moved the rag picker. A huge bag. stuffed with pa pers and rags weighed down his shoul- ders. A crooked piece of wire enabled him to sort materials in piles of rub bish and ashes as he passed along.
 A small leather case in pile of rubbish caught his eye. He paused, picked it up, opened it. A necklace of brilliants met his astonished gaze.
 The ragpicker slipped the case into his pocket and cast a suspicious glance about him. Then he proceeded to the nearest junk shop, where he disposed or his rags and papers. Clutching the few coins that the junk dealer paid him, the man hurMed to the shack he called home Here he pulled down the cur tains and examined the necklace. The stones were. apparently gnuine and of great value.s The ragpicker resolved to wait and see whether a reward would be offered. For a week he searched the newspapers in vain.
 He was too cautious, too fearful of the consequences, to attempt to sell the necklace. The servant told him

 We were going to the theatre and, as usual. to dance place afterward. I had been in court nearly all day and was very tired. and had forgotten to telephone for car until they were all out.
 I ordered q taxi to call for us, for getting to mention the fact to Natalie until she was dressed.
 "I won't go in the horrid thing We'll stay at home. Do you think I'd go in that:' She looked out of the window at the unoffending taxicab.
 l wanted to swear at her, l longed to tell her that she didn't have even taxis before we were married. But while l struggled with a refractory tie and my anger she had rushed to the telephone and was calling Nell Morton.
 Would it put you out too much to call for us?' she asked. Bruce has a taxi but I will not use it." Evidently the reply was satisfactory, for she said Thank you so much. It's sweet of you
 How did you know they were going to the same theatre?" I asked.

egy. With an air of innocence he went to the kitchen door of the house in the rear of which he had discovered the necklace.fit The servant told him they had some rags and paper to sell and she led the way to the basement
 The servant was talkative. She was going to leave, she said, as there was no pleasure in living in a house where everybody was under suspicion. The mistress had lost her necklace a week before, but as to whether it was lost or stolen the girl had her own ideas.
 Why doesn't she call in the police?" asked the ragpicker. "She ought to-"
 The girl looked wise. That's what told her, but she doesn't and I know the reason why. It's on account of that precious nephew of hers. If any one took the necklace it's him. The aunt knows 1t and she's pining away. believing him thief, and he pretends to be innocent. You see, he's got reputation as a ne'er-dO-well and a spendthrift and it's people like him who are suspected at times like this"

But one day while l was away, a man came and took the Burning Stick from Granny and also took Granny away with him. 1 could see his foot prints in the path. I followed him here and found that he lived in this house. so I rushed in and would have wrestled him. But" continued the Wild Gazook, be fore I could catch hold of him, he threw some Magic Medicine on me and I changed into Wild Gaxook. I guess the mean creature did not know that he changed me into a Wild Gazook for when he saw what looked like, he ran out of the house and I have not seen him since.
