BOSSY NEEDS CARE
TO PRODUCE MILK

''The care and management Of the
family COW plays a greater part In
the ability OF the COW to produce .
maximum flow OF milk than is general.
" supposed" says A. G. Kinney, ex.
tension dairy specialist for the North
Caroline State College of Agriculture
and Engineers. For highest milk
production the COW must be comfort
able. One OF the Important things
toward making her comfortable Is q
clean, dry place In which TO stay.
The stall should be cleaned and bed
ded each day. or new bedding put in.
II not possible to completely renew the
old. The COW will thus be kept clean
and the stall dry and fresh at all
times"
Mr. kinney recommends that the
stall be so constructed as to allow
for plenty OF fresh air and sunlight.
A damp. dark stall Ia a good breeding
place for disease germs which not
only inJure the COW but viii probably
be injurious to the people who drink
he milk. A properly built stall should
ne boarded up tight for four feet
above the floor so as to protect the
cows body from drafts, especially
Ohen she Il lying down. Above this
wall there should be plenty OF windows
to allow for free passage of air and
light. The cost Of building such a
stall viii be more than paid for In the
Increased milk production.
During the period before freshen-
Ing, the COW should be fed so that she
will be in good flesh at freshenlng-
Then she will come with a high milk
flow, states Mr.. Kinney. With proper
care and management she will main
tain this production through longer
period Of time than under haphaxard
conditions.

Selection of Dairy Cow
hv Production Il Res


It Is agreed by all authorities that
where records OF production are OBJ.
tainabIe. the selection OF a dairy COW
by production is best. II a record OF
milk and butterfat show that a COW
has been a profitable producer for ons
year. this may be accepted as an In
dex to her real productive ability.
The weight OF milk and average fat
test for one day, or even seven con-
secutive days, is not a dependable
guide for the selection OF the best
dairy COW.
A yearly record for each COW may
be made By weighing and testing the
milk two consecutive days in each
month, figuring the average daily
yield thus obtained for the 80 days
In that particular month. At the end
Of the lactation period the sum OF the
weights OF fat for all the months will
give a very close estimate Of the ac-
tual pounds Of butterfat produced dur
ing the lactation period.
Record sheets for milk and butter.
fat are obtaInable from various
sources.
Cows will sell for a much higher
price IL records Of production can be
furnished.

The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-01-01

The soldiers gradually drove the
Indians out Of the brush and into
the hills. Swordbearer and a few Of
his followers made a final stand at
the ford Of the Little Horn river
where Swordbearer and several
others were killed by rifle fire.
With Swordbearer's death, the
spell was broken and the Indians
either fled for the hills or circled
about and tried to find refuge among
the Indians at the agency. The cal
vary was ordered into action but a
number of the Indians made good
their escape into the hills while
others gave themselves up. Several
groups put up flags Of truce and
were led %captives back to the agency.
The entire skirmish only lasted about
two hours. It was estimated that
about 200 Indians had taken part in
SwOrdbearer's attack.
Leaders Surrender
The next day the Indians who were
wanted came into the agency and
gave themselves up. Deaf Bull, Crazy
Head, Black Hawk and other dis
affected chiefs also came in to pro
claim their good intentions. Thes,
willy Indians, 1t was the genera
opinion, had urged Swordbearer on
using him as a catspaw and had beef

a chance of his success. The 40 or 81

raised the gun and fired above his
head.
The Indians, led by Swordbearer,
retired to the outskirts Of the agency
buildings and continued their cele-
bratiOn, having secured some am
manition at other stores. A scout
was despatched by the agent to Fort
Custer for aid and on October /,
four troops of calvary were sent.
The Indians had Gained down, how
ever, and leaving one troop on guard,
the rest returned to the fort.
The trouble for a time smOuldered,
but there was still tension between
the two races. The army authorities
refused to take an alarmist view Of
the situation. Gen. Terry made a
statement that the Crows are al
ways well disposed. It will be the
policy of the department to delay
arrests until the excitement subsidies
and the action Of the agent was con-
demned as hasty. The watchful wait
ing policy of the government met
with local disapproval and there was
some talk of sending a sheriff's posse
from Custer county to make the
arrests.

which represents extensive eastern
capital. The plant was bought in by
this concern for $24,50O, the sale
taking in all the property Of the COM

of the proceeds Of the sale the re-
ceiver must clear up all the indebted

it is the intention Of the new owners
to reopen the plant as Don as posi-

It is the intention Of the new own

which will afford a better location

~ ARRIED away for a time by the
war enthusiasm of a young
- brave named Swordbearer, the
Crow Indians 3S years ago we're al
most on the verge of an outbreak
against the whites which was only
prevented by the proper mixture Of
firmness and tact on the part of the
United States government.
During the month or more that
the tension lasted, the people Of the
thinIy settled Yellowstone valley
were filled with apprehension of
rapine and plumber by the belliger-
ent Indians and every precautiOn OF
preparedness was being taken by the
pioneers. Families were rushed into
Billings for safety and militia drilled
to take part in the possible Indian
war.
NO very serious doubt was perhaps
ever entertained Of the ability of the
regular soldiers to handle the situa-
ton and the prospect Of killing a
few more redskins seems to have
filled some of the old Indian fighters
with an unholy JOY as they gathered
in at Billings, hoping to have a hand
in the scrap.

power. The combined mystic and
warlike instincts of the Indian *
plain perhaps the accession he gained
over the minds Of the other Indians.
He first seems to have taken up
the role of prophet in the summer of
1886 when he claimed that the kill
ing of some cattle by lightning was
an evidence of his control Ove the
power Of nature. He also developed
a power of predicting storms which
his followers claimed was remark
able. His medicine, he began to
claim, had power over the enemies of
the Crows and would even make
harmless the bullets of the white
man. Events for the time were with
him and he probably had convinced
himself as we'll as others Of his sup
ernatural power.
Raid Piegan Camps.
During the following year, he led
growing bands of Crows on raids to
the north against Piegans and other
Indians with quite uniform success.
Early in the summer of 1887, some
Sioux braves visited the Crows and
helped to spread a feeling of dis
content among the Crows. Sword
bearer went with them to one OF
their agencies and went through
their tortuous ceremonies. He re-
turned more convinced than ever
that he was a prophet. Finally in the
latter part of September, Sword.
bearer with p young braves return
ed from a trip against the Piegan'
with so stolen horses.
There had been considerable feel
ing among the settlers about thes'
continued raids in which often set
tiers horses were taken also and i
was generally felt that the govern
ment should take some step to stOl
them. Accordingly Indian Agen
Williamson ordered the arrest of tn
returning braves on a charge o
horse stealing.
A considerable number of Othe
Indians had gathered at the agenc
to celebrate the Homecoming o
SwOrdbearer and his braves. William
sons action seems to have been III
advised under the circumstances TO
if at once started trouble.
Attack the Agency
A group of Indians, mOr in
spirit Of bravado than with the il
tent of doing any real harm made a
attack on the agency buildings an
the houses and the office of tn
agent was riddled with bullets. tt
Indians also fired into the settler
store when he refused them ammul
ition. One Indian pointed a gun

The Indians were also greatly ex-
cited by reports that a large body
of Piegans had entered the reserva-
ton bent on retaliation for Sword
bearers raid. The alarm proved to be
false, but a few days later a party
of 10 A~ssiniboine Indians were Dr.
dered off the reservation and still
later the government rounded up 20
eros Ventres who were on the reser-
walton and made them recrOss the

Ration day at the agency on Octo-
Der 10 proved to be quiet. Sword
bearer camped near the agency and
defied arrest and the other Indians
we're sullen, but there was no out
break. The school house had been

About a dozen Indians had been
killed. The government had used IS

tions during the flare of hOstilities,
and their casualties had been one
killed and two injured.
The atmosphere seemed to have
cleared at once and Indians and
