day SO pleasing to the eye Of the traveller.
AS one contemporary writer has well
stated: "it should be borne in mind that
the Judith Basin country was not solely
settled by the capitalists bringing large
amounts Of money to expend in subduing
and cultivating new lands, but almost ex-
clusively by men who were unable and un-
willing to purchase farms in he older
states-whOse physical and mental ener-
gies constituted their funded wealth" This
was the capital invested in the settlement
and improvement and development Of the
Judith Basin-a currency not subject to
fluctuations.
The pioneers who have been responsible
for the successful development of Judith
Basins resources have been men Of indie
pendent minds and efforts. whose activi-
ties were controlled by the dirtates Of their
own judgments. To their labOrs, we must
give credit for nearly all of the areas pre-
sent wealth. Thus, when Lewistown ard
Stanford shall contemplate the cOnstruc-
tiOn of new memorials to local heroes.
the citizens of those cities should bear in
mind that their greatest obligation is to
the pioneers who opened up, experimental
with, and developed the wonderful treas
ures of the Basin, and thus made possible
these two thriving business centers.

Pigs fed according to the method used
for lots I and II often are not as well

fed grain on grain and tankage during z
the pasture season.
For growing pigs to be used in hogging
off corn or peas the ration Of limited
grain and tankage Is the most satisfac-
tory according to our results to date.
Results Of two years work comparing
ration Of barley with ration Of barley
96 per cent and tankage four per cent for
self feeding 80 to 55 pound pigs on alfalfa
pasture indicate that each pound Of tank
age fed saves approximately one pound OF
barley. While the cest Of the barley tank

pigs receiving barley and tankage are
ready for market ten to 20 days earlier
thus increasing the chances Of receiving
the higher price which generally can be
obtained before the 9Th to 10th of October
Recommendation
The method of feeding spring pigs or
alfalfa pasture which finishes them fol
market by the last of September or the
first week of October is likely to prove
most profitable because of the higher
prices prevailing up to that time.

Save and Clarity Meat Fat for Frying
and Pastry

An old fashioned method Of clarifying fat
from the soup kettle or from cooked meats
such as bacon, ham, chicken, beef, sausage,
and other sources, is re- commended by the
United States Department Of Agriculture.
Melt the fat with at least an equal volume
Of water, and heat for a short time at a
moderate temperature, stirring the mixture
occasionally. When cold. remove the cake
Of fat and scrape off any small particles
of meat and skin that adhere to the under
side
Some fats are better favored than others
for use in pastry or cake making, but all
cleanly rendered fats may be used in fry
ing. If the flavor or color or both are not
satisfactory at the first rendering the pro-
cess may be repeated several times An
other method, often recommended, is to
cook number Of slices of raw potato in
the boiling fat The addition of a small up-
cut onion, a few leaves of summer saw
ory and thyme, salt and pepper, when rem
! dering meat drippings, makes a savOry fat
useful for gravies. Sausage fat is excellent
! for frying meats which have less flavor
of their own, as veal outlet or rabbit.
Fat in small quantities may be easily
kept sweet in the ice box for cooking pur-
poses. If lard is rendered at home in large
quantities to last a long time it should be
kept covered in tins or earthen jars, in a
cool, dry place.
