lYH HE highest producing COW il
Montana gives more than $4,000
pounds of milk in a year; there
are a great many others in this state
that only give about a tenth of this
amount. What is the cause of this
great variation in milk production?
Is it possible to definitely fix the
characteristic which will definitely
assure high milk production? By the
careful selection of plants and the
elimination of those that are unde-
sirable, it has been possible to great
ly increase the per acre yield of
wheat by developing seed of high
producing habits. Is it possible by
the same means to develop COWS that
will also have the high producing
habit fixed in them?
In the Yellowstone valley of Mon
tana a cooperative work between
farmers, the Montana Experiment
Station, the Montana State College
Extension Service, and various
branches of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is being
thing. Those who are working on
this problem are assuming that the
tendency to produce large quanti-
ties of milk, can be definitely fixed,
just as the high producing qualities
of wheat can be definitely fixed, the
only differnec being that the work
of fixing this characteristic in COWS
must necessarily cover a long period
of time because of the time involved
in breeding and in arriving at the
age of production. In three genera
tions a single grain of wheat may re-
produce itself $4,000 times and this
would involve but three years, while
in similar work with COWS, three
years time would find the first gem

NAL, just coming into production.

THE PROPER FEED
BREEDING EWES
From Montana State College

Wv HAT to feed the breeding eve
W. is a question on many of the
W sheep ranches and farms oil
Montana. To answer that question
DR.. W. Joseph of the Montana Ex-
pertinent Station has carried on a SER
les of feeding experiments with diff
ferent feeds available to the sheep
men of Montana. The results of
these experiments may be had by
those interested, in the form of bull
letin 164, winter Feeding of Breed
ing Ewes" and may be secured with
out charge by applying to the Mon
tana Experiment Station, Bozeman,
Montana.
DR.. Joseph not only compares the
value of different feeds and differ
ent rations for eve feeding purposes
but also provides a basis for compar-
ing costs.
In summary at the close of the bull
uetin, DR.. Joseph states:
1. A ration of four pounds per
head daily of good alfalfa or clover
hay proves satisfactory for 40 to
10 pound bred ewes that were in
good condition at the beginning of
the feeding period.
2. In one trial of the value of
beets for replacing a part of the hay
rations for breeding ewes, one pound
of stock beets replaced one-half
pound of hay and produced fully as
good results.
8. The average weight of sun
flower silage required to replace one
pound of hay in rations for breeding
eve was approximately two and

him."
Such were the instructions given
White Shield by his father.
In considering this preparation
of White Shield for battle, as re-
counted by Grinnell, in "The Fight
ing Cheyennes," its psychological
effect should not be overlooked.
White Shield carried himself brave
ly; his confidence in himself; his
horse; and his quirt; was due, I'M
doubtedly to the stuffed kingfish-
er's influence, the medicine, and to
Spotted VOLTS instructions, but for
a reason neither of the Indians
could have understood.

and of the offspring sired by the bull
In this way the productive ability O.
the mother is compared with the
daughter and the influence of the
bull definitely determined. If the
production of the daughter shows a
favorable increase over the dam, the
bull is listed as a proven sire; if the
result is not satisfactory, the bull is
taken from service. Thus in the case
of proven sires, the pedigree is back
ed up by known service. Breeders
have long since found that the pedi-
gree alone is not dependable in all
cases. Bulls of the highest breeding
have been known to produce poor re-
suits, and the only way to be sur of
the sire's ability is through his off
spring.
AS the poor bulls are eliminated
and as good bulls are located for fur
Their trial the quality of the sires and
their offspring is gradually raised.
When"a farmer has used a proven
sire as long as good breeding prac-
tees will permit, a transfer of bulls
with some other farmer takes place,
and a new proven sire heads the
herd. AS time goes on the offspring
of the first proven sire is mated with
the second proven sire, and this pro-
cess is gradually extended and contin-
ued. Eventually it is hoped that the
quality of a high milk production
will become so highly concentrated

two pounds of hay in the ration, CIV
ing practically equal results.
5. No advantage in health or
thrift of breeding ewees i'd hay and
sunflower silage over those fed al
falfa or clover hay only was noted in
any of the tests.
6. Sunflower silage as the sole
feed for breeding ewes did not prove
satisfactory in n trial. During the
period that ewes we're fed half the
usual feed Of hay and all the silage
they would eat in addition, they held
up in weight very we'll. When fed
silage only for three weeks they lost
in weight at the rate of about me
third of a pound a day, losing a con-
siderable part of the reserve that
they should have had at LANDING
time. While fed silage only they ate
as much as six pounds per head daily
at first, but after two or three days
they would not eat more than five
pounds.
z. A ration made UP of five and
one-half pounds of sunflower silage,
one-half pound of oat straw and three
and six-tenths ounces of cottonseed
cake per eve daily gave fairly good
in one test. The cost of this
ration at the prices prevailing was
practically the same as a ration of al
falfa hay with which it was COM
The results obtained with
three and nine-tenths pounds of al
hay per head daily were some
what more favorable as indicated by
the condition of the ewes. Other con-
ditions as to prices and feed supplies
occur that would make the ra-
ton with no hay more economical.

Doctor R. v. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only a success
full physician but also a profound
student of the medicinal qualities of
Natures remedies, roots and herbs, and
by close observation of the methods
used by the Indians, he discovered their
great remedial qualities, especially for
weaknesses of women, and after care
full preparation succeeded in giving to
the world a remedy which has been
used by women with the best results
for half a century. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is still in great demand,
while many other so called 0cure 7alls"
have come and gone. The reason for
its phenomenal success is because of its
absolute purity, and DR.. Pierce's high
standing as an honored citizen of

CAPT. JOHN H. HUGHES
 GOING TO WASHINGTON

Capt. John H. Hughes, colonization agent for the Alaska Railroad, left on the steamship Northwestern this morning for Washington, D. C., where he will make a report on his activi- ties direct to Secretary Work.
 In addition to having compiled exhaustive data on the prdouctive- ness of the soil and general condi- tions affecting the farmer, Captain Hughes has accumulated valuable exhibits which will be taken to Washington, D. C., to fortify the claim that Alaskan agricultural de- velopment s entitled to every aid within the power of the Govern ment Many of these exhibits are now in Seattle, where they were shown under the auspices of the Young Mems Business Club, at the recent All-Alaskan fair, held in the Sound City.
 With these exhibits Captain Hughes will show Congress some acts calculated to inspire liberality with respect to the colonization plan on which Captain Hughes has been working.
 Before going to Washington, Cap tain Hughes will visit his old home at San Francisco, where ne@ will spend some time.
 Captain Hughes came to Alaska for the purpose of carrying out the work he has just completed and with a view to eventually secur- ing the establishment of coloniza- ticn system in connection with the Alaska Railroad. It is known that he put the matter up to Colonel Lan0is who shelved it and placed Captain Hughes in chai2o of tne

NAVY DAY

For the past several years the Navy League of the United States, in the people of our country the glori- ous traditions Of our Navy, has set aside a day for this purpose. The day chosen is the 27th of October a most fitting choice in that it is the birthday of one of our greatest men, Theodore Roosevelt, who while presi- dent was responsible for the perfec- ton of naval gunnery, and general uplift in the efficiency of this branch of the public service.
 To a nation whose coast line is so extensive as that of the United States an adequate and efficient navy is in deed an insurance of continued peace Any nation having designs on that peace fould hesitate to attack, to ag- gravate or trespass on the rights or liberties of a we'll armed America.

Anchorage Republicans
 Drop Murray from List

Because he is alleged to be SUD- porting Dr. w. w. Council, demo- cratic nominee for Senator, Joseph Murray, Republican candidate for the Territorial house of representatives has been read out of the party by the Anchorage Republican club. The club, in explaining it's reasons for chastising MT. Murray, says:
 "The Anchorage Republican club wishes to explain it's reasons for withdrawing it's support of Joe Mur- ray, after he had been nominated at the primary with the support of the Club.
 Dr. Council and others on the Dem ocratic Ticket for office and he was given a chance by wire to deny this support. In the absence of a direct reply and with the positive statements of several reliable men in Cordova that MT. Murray was SUD- porting candidates on the Democra- tic Ticket, we could not consistent ly advise Republican Voters to vote for him. Had Mr. Murray stood by the Party nominees, he would have had the Anchorage Republican club with him to a man, and the fact that he is working for the Democratic no minees, is the only reason the club holds for withdrawing the support he would have otherwise had.
