NO QUARANTINE ON
SHIPPED
TO SPOKANE YARDS

Roy Farrer, secretary of Spok-
ane Union stockyards, announces
to Montana shippers of live stock
that there is no quarantine of stock
shipped from this state and con-
signed to Spokane.
"Rumors are afIoat," said Mr..
Farrer in an interview, s'that the
Spokane Union StockyaPds are I'M
der quarantine incident to the foot
and mouth disease situation in Ca
1ifornia. This is absolutely with
out foundation and the report is
wholly untrue, a fact of which
Montana live stock men should be
appraised.
1.-THE shipping and producing
public in Montana should be adj
vised at once that the Spokane live
stock market is open. The federal
regulations require cleaning and
d~isinfection of live stock shipments
under the supervision of federal
or state authorities, or by some
veterinarian qualified to pass on
interstate shipments of live stock

A GOOD many farmers produce
n good crops of wheat, corn, hay,
4 IA ETC., but we all know that un-
less we put a fertilizer back on this
land the production will gradually
decrease, leaving the soil unproduc-
tive. The solution for this is the
dairy COW, which has been neglected
so much by us all. Why not figure
your cash turnovers from the dairy
cow? You will find her the biggest
asset.
Buy more good COWS. The COW au-
tomatically makes better land. You
receive more money in return for
the money invested. The milk and
cream produced are p%erishable pro-
ducts, but they are the easiest pro-
ducts to take care of, and on a good
many farms they are the least
thought of. Keep your milk-produc-
ing cattle as warm as possible. Don't
keep them out in the cold, snow or
rain. Never run or throw rocks at,

islands Of Cuba and Hispanolia.
From these islands sheep were car
ried to the Isthmus of Panama, and
from there spread over Mexico, Cali
fornia, Texas, New Mexico, and
were taken as far south along the
Pacific as Peru. The descendants of
these sheep are still in these areas.
If you were to watch the sheep and
lambs coming in from the southwest
to the Chicago stockyards you would
see this type of sheep, and they are
designated in the sheep trade as
"Mexicans." There is no argument
or doubt about sheep doing we'll in
the arid localities of the United
States, and on the dry lands. The
end of the argument is the fact that
they are today grazing over vast
areas of arid land, and have been
doing so for more than 1000 years
of recorded history.
The royal flocks of Spain were
founded before the Christian era, and
the Rambouillet sheep the world
over are the descendants of these
royal flocks, of which there were
fifteen. For centuries Spain guard
ed these sheep with jealous care and
anyone shipping any of these sheep
out of Spain without the permission
of the sovereign was punishable with
death or heavy penalties. Spain has
lost the monopoly of her golden
fleese, and the Spanish sheep have
spread over the whole world. While
the Rambouillet sheep is of Spanish
origin they have a French name and
here is the story of their christening:
In 1885 Louis XVI of France came
into the possession of the province
of Rambouillet, upon which he es-
tablished an experimental farm. He
obtained permission from the king
of Spain to purchase and take from

Probably there is no line of agri.
culture so little understood by people
in general as sheep husbandry. A
Rambouillet sheep is always a Mer-
inc sheep-a fine wooded sheen.
They will adapt themselves to any
climate from the torrid zone to the
frozen north, and are Of the range
or travelling type, as against the pas
ture sheep. Most all animals shed
their coats once Or twice a year but
a Rambouillet sleeps fleece will
keep growing from year to year, al
though not sheared, and I have a few
sheep now that have not been shorn
in two years. At the Billings fair
two years ago., Professor Arnett of
the Bozeman State college, had a ram
that had not been shorn in three
years, and his fleece was still grow
ing. L. H. Hamilton of the old Sage
Creek Sheep company, who in the
old range days ran from 10000 to
10000 head of sheep, bred the Ram
bouillet. So did the Bower brothers,
who also ranged at times 49, 600
head. Calvin Bower a short time
ago informed me that they had rails
ed in n season $4,000 lambs and
sheared 100000 pounds of wool.
Ben Phillips of Malta handled as
many and also bred the Rambouillet
sheep. One of the Selways, former
ly of Dillon, ran 10000 sheep south
of Miles City in the dry country, and
he told the writer that he never put
up a pound of hay, but ran the sheep
the year around on the open range.
OF course, he had an almost unlim-
tied country to range over, and it is
needless to say that that system
won't do now.
There is no more valuable or use
full animal to add to the comfort and
prosperity of mankind than the
sheep. They provide delicious and
nutritious meat for the table. No
other material furnishes as warm,
healthful and comfortable a garment
as virgin wool. Their pelts go into

Grades of Cream
Sweet Cream must be cream that
is perfectly sweet, that will not cur
die in hot coffee or hot water at a
temperature of $50 degrees, and has
a good, clean flavor and free from
all undesirable doors.
First Grade Cream is cream that
is slightly sour, smooth and free from
all undesirable odors, and clean to
taste.
Second Grade Cream consists of a
cream that is too sour to grade as
first grade that contains undesirable
odors to a moderate degree, that is
foamy, frozen, yeasty, or slightly
stale, or that is too old to grade as
first grade cream.
OlllcI6uI l1dNOIS LudL are CldSS6Q
as second-grade cream: Weedy, yeas
ty, cheesy, metallic, greasy, bitter,
stale, musty, kitchen or cellar flavors
or frozen.
Colostrum cream should not be
shipped to any creamery at all as it
is unfit to be made into butter for
human consumption. Don't sell
cream that you would not use your
self.
Why Creameries Should Grade Cream
The creamery that buys cream on
the grading basis pays for it accord
ing to grade, and makes butter as
per the quality of the cream, is the
creamery that always pays the pro-
Queer that produces good cream the
highest market prices. This is due
to the fact that the creamery making
quality butter gets the top market
price for its butter. There was a
time when the farmer could sell any
quality of cream and a creamery
could sell any quality of butter, re-

Always keep a clean piece of
cheese cloth over the top of the can

heat to escape and keeps out dirt and
insects.
Ship as often as possible. Just
before shipping, be sure you have the

wire on both sides. Also see thai
your name and address is on the
tags.
Always keep your cans covered
with wet burlap or canvas when
bringing to the depot, and ask stage
drivers and depot agents to keep the
cream out of the sun.
Always Get a receipt for all ship
ments in order to enable the cream
cry you are shipping to to collect a
claim If your shipment happens to ar
rive in a damaged condition.
When you sell cream to cream sta
tions, you have to help pay the ex-
pense of operating the station. BY
shipping your cream direct to the
creamery, you always get the highest
top market prices and full returns.
High Quality cream will enable the
creameries of Montana to obtain the
full market for butter, instead of five
or seven cents below market, and the
added benefit will automatically re-
vert back to the producer. Montana
must produce "extras" butter instead
of seconds and if your cream is
not high quality the dairy industry
cannot forge ahead.
How to Get the Highest Prices
The daily scalding and thorough
cleansing of each individual part of
~separators, as we'll as other equip

high grade cream. This means more
work, and great care should be exer-
cised, but it will pay real dividends.

portant as the cleanliness of every

THE BEST EVIDENCE

Time and again we hear the same old story of a newcomer coming into the territory and upon close scrutiny chooses his town paper to send home for an example of the town in which he is loctaed. Then again, on the other hand, the sender of letters in distant places writing friend in this country inquires as to conditions, and asks in a modest way for copy of the paper of that particular town in which he is corresponding in. He thinks and knows that it will convey truer expression in regard to business con- ditions in that town that superlatives could not describe in letterwriting They both may be on black and white, but as the riddle goes-the "one" is read" all over.
 And then, it sets us to wondering if the citizens really comprehend that nothing reflects upon a town more greater than their criterion of news and advertising mediums-like the pa per of their home town. If 1t is a good paper with lots of local news and merchants are liberally represent ed in it's advertising columns the stranger is quick to decide that it is a good live, progressive town. We call your attention to this because you can help make the paper the mirror" in which strangers see the town. Send in or hand any one of the Gateway staff every little item

 ALASKA RUN, WINTER

Tentative announcement was made
 by the Alaska Steamship company of
 taking the Yukon off the Alaskan run 1 for two excursion trips to the Ha-

 son. Such was the report published
 recently in the Juneau Empire.
 The Empire in following up on the
 story added that the proposed sched- l ule formulated by the Seattle of flee contemplates operating the Yu- kOn out of Seattle to the Hawaiian Islands, Los Angeles, San Francisco and back to Seattle with the Yukon leaving Seattle on Janury 14 and February 12, 1925 for the cruise and returning February 9th and Mar 10th.
 Bunch, traffic manager, for the Alas ka Steamship company with offices at Seattle, he said that Within the last two years, the Alaska Steamship Icompany's fleet has been consider ably enlarged and improved by the addition of two new steamers, the Alaska and the Yukon. As Alaska business is seasonal and the heaviest volume of travel offers during the spring, summer and early fall months and there is very small volume of winter travel, necessitating tying up some of the steamers during the win
 ter months, we are desirous of finding
 employment for at least one of the ships during part of the winter sea son."
