Calves and yeariings grow and fatten
at the same time, and as long as the rate
of growth is rapid the feed requirement
per pound of gain is low. Older cattle
fill up quickly when put ON feed, but
after a little while the gains are slow
with younger cattle. Calves, therefore,
can be fed longer than yearlings or two
year-olds. Because much of the calf
gains in a feed lot consist Of growth, it
is easily seen that a longer time is neceS-
sary to finish calves than older cattle.
The approximate gains and the length
of time necessary to make calves, year
Iings and two-year-olds choice to prime
in the feed lot is shown as follows:
Total gain necessary per head pounds
calves, 450 to 500: yearlings, 400 to $50;
two-year-Olds, $50 to 400.
Length Of feeding period, days: Calves
210 to 240; yearlingS, 180 to 210; two
year-Olds, $50 to 18O.
Grain required if full fed. lbs: Calves
$500; yearlings, 1900; two-Year-olds. 1000
Although the total amount of concen-
trates necessary TO finish cattle Of diff
ferent ages is about the same, older cat
tie have the ability to consume more
rOughage than younger cattle. This is ar
important factor to be considered under
Montana conditions. where in many sec
tions it is important that the maximum
amount Of roughage be consumed. I
is possible to put a fair kill on maturt
cattle on roughage alone, while calves
treated in a similar manner would no
approach good butcher condition.
1t is difficult to make calves eat enough
to grow and fatten at the same time
They usually will eat only the best quail
ity Of feeds. often refusing coarse ant
stemmY hay or musty and slightI,
spoiled feeds Two-year-olds usually will
consume such feeds without any i'll ef
fects.

Junior Reception

The last two weeks of the school
year are largely given over to the
social affairs incident to the closing
of the school year, and perhaps the
most elaborate of these functions is
the junior reception to the senior
class. The affair given last Friday
evening was no exception to this
rule, and prettier party could not
well be imagined. From the en-
trance to the, high school building,
the entire auditorium was trans
formed into bower of beauty. In
the hall fountain had been arrang-
ed, surrounded by leafy bower,
with birds singing to add to the ef-
fectiveness of the scene. In the aud
itorium the senior class colors, scar
let and gray, were most effectively
used. Graceful festoons formed the
ceiling and scarlet and gray stream
ers reached from the center light to
each of the 2S small tables where
the guests were served. Around the
wall lattice intertwined with dog
wood blossoms made beautiful
background. The tables were most
artistic, with crystal candle holders.
tall red candles, red rose nut cups,
and unique place cards in form of
miniature diplomas. And to add to
the hilarity of the occasion the ia
vors were tin crickets concealed in
small fans. A delicious three
course dinner menu, with creamed
chicken as the "piece de resistance
was served with covers for 112. The
young ladies were charming in their
evening dresses of every hue and the
whole effect was most gorgeous and
pleasing. Miss Louise Mckay, chair
man from the class on arrangements
acted as POSTMASTER, and Marion
Fisher, Dahlton Kincaid and Miss
Ruth Pursel responded to toasts.
Miss Grace Hall gave the class
prophecy and Miss Alice Davis read
the last will and testament of the
class of 1927. The Moores and Ross
sextette of GAINESVILLE furnished
delightful program of music during
the evening. Miss Ruth Pursel is
junior class advisor, and to her and
the class much credit is due for the
success of the affair.
The hours for the reception were
from 1880 to 10 p. M, and following
this the classes went to the city hall
where dancing was enjoyed to a de-
lightful program of dance music
furnished by the orchestra.
