Concerning the Baby

Child experts say virtually every
child is born with blue eyes. The
permanent color does not appear until
about three or four weeks after birth.
Normal children always wear con-
tented expression during the first
three months Of life, and during the
next three months they laugh aloud
with great frequency. No matter how
much a baby cries, 1t never sheds a
tear until eight weeks old.

BOHEMIAN MAN TALKS
TO FARM STUDENTS
Explains Why Montana Has
Many Good Possibilities
for Dairying

J. @. Tretsven, extension dairyman
from the college of agriculture at
Bozeman visited the high school De-
cember and gave the agricultural
students talk on dairying. The talk
was on the feeding of dairy cows and
Montana's adaptability to dairying.
Mr.. Tretsven declares that Montana
is an ideal state for this industry,
having excellent dairy feeds and a
much more favorable climate than
some of the leading dairy states. He
said that the alfalfa raised in most
all parts of this state was of the best
quality and could be produced easily
and at a reasonable cost. He agreed
with Mr.. Horde, editor Of the Horde's
dairyman, in saying that it was not
a better breed of COWS that Montana
needed, but better breed of dairy
men. The need of feed rations with
plenty of protein and mineral matter
was made very plain. "a ration in or
der to be satisfactory, he said, must
have six parts of protein to one part
of sugar, fats and mineral matter
combined"
Mr.. Tretsven talked in Edgar the
afternoon before, and in Belfry the
night before. He planned to make
Roberts Monday, but his plans were
destroyed by the cold snap.
