Til western livestock industry this
winter has witnessed a demonstration
which, according to John w. Haw. di-
rector of the agricultural development
department of the Northern Pacific
railway. viii mean important expan-
sion.
On $500 acre ranch, known SIS the
Cold Springs ranch, located one and
one-half miles north of Forsyth, Mont.
Charles McDaniels has operated the
largest lamb feeding plant in the
Treasure state. His demonstration
has proved, according to livestock
authorities, that winter feeding and
finishing of lambs on large scale is
a profitable enterprise. Formerly the
most of lambs produced in Montana
have been shipped to other states to
be finished.
Mr. McDaniels has fed $4,000 lambs
on his Cold Springs ranch in the last
year. These lambs were gathered at
the ranch from the mountain regions
of Montana at an average cost of 1012
cents per pound. AS result of his
demonstration his plans now are to
feed $4,000 lambs in the next year at
his uniquely constructed plant, which
was conceived to overcome features
of winter feeding which had been re-
garded as handicaps. He also said
that Charles Bair, of Billings, who has
30.000gc Montana ranch, will feed
$4,000 lambs next year. The ranch of
which Mr.. McDaniels is the manager
has 1000 acres under irrigation. He
characterized Montana as an excellent
feeding area.
There is no reason why We can't
finish lambs in Montana and make
profit on the feeding operations he
said. There is an economic waste to
Montana livestock men in shipping
lambs outside of the state for others
to feed. We can grow alfalfa and
barley which will give an excellent
finish; we have plenty of pure water.
Under present conditions we can put
on gains for six or seven cents
pound. The lamb feeder, however,
must be consistent. He must feed
year after year without interruption.
To be feeding one year and not the
next would be too great hazard for
any feeder"
Mr.. McDaniels spoke with author
ity because he has been in the sheep
business for more than 80 years and
has handled large bands in other
states as we'll as Montana.
In the last year 5000 head have
been fed on ration of alfalfa hay,
corn, barley and screenings; 5000 eve
lambs are being wintered through to
early summer to be sold for breeding
purposes. In 1923 620 tons of alfalfa

AHEAD FOR WISE MONTANA FARMER
New Farm Measure Ready For Introduction In Coneres
KNIGHT HOME NEAR
REDSTONE is BURNED

The farm home of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Knight north of Redstone was
burned Sunday morning, together with
a garage which was attached to the
house. A few belongings were all
that could be saved.
1t seems that during the day a fire
had been started in the yarI which
crept up to the house, but it was
thought to have been extinguished.
During the night, however, the house
fllled with smoke, awakening an older
daughter, who aroused two younger
children, who discovered the building
to be in flames. There was no chance
to put out the flames, so they tried
TO save a few personal belongings
such as clothing, etc. before the
flames drove them from the building.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knight were rot home
at the time of the fire, leaving an
older daughter and two younger child
ren to look after the place during
their absence. Louise Knight, who
was visiting friends in Plentywood
and who had not heard of the fire. is
said to have tainted when she return
ed home, thinking that the family had
perhaps perished in the flames. She
was very happy to find them all well.

HIGH
AGAIN ON NORTH
CENTRAL LIST

The Plentywood High School has
recently been advised by the Chair
man of the State Committee that it
was approved for the fourth consecu-
tive year by the North Central Asso-
citation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools. Membership in this Associ-
alton is given at the annual meeting
held in March and is for but one year.
All schools having membership must
make application each year after hav-
ing had a thorough inspection and
filling out a comprehensive report.
The inspection and reports are taken
care of by the State High School Su-
pervisor and a committee of High
School and University men.
To be a member of this Association
is a real distinction when one consid-
ers that out of PIP High Schools in
Montana there are but 40 that have
been able to get approval for men,
bership. Many different points are
taken into consideration in accepting
school. The more important items
are, the training and tenure of teach
ers, the equipment in library, labora-
tories, and classrooms, and the spirit
or morale of the pupils in the school.
A teacher of academic subjects must
be graduate of a four year college
or university that is a member of the
association and must have specialized
in those subjects he is teaching. A
member High School must have at
least five full time teachers of whom
| four must be teachers of academic
subjects. This latter regulation some
times prevents a good small High
School from membership. One of the
chief reasons for limiting the mini
mum number of academic teachers is
the difficulty of keeping a teacher ir
his own field of specialization in the
small High School.
There is distinct advantage to the
graduates of a North Central High
School since they may enter any Of
the Colleges or Universities in these
twenty North Central State without
|, question. Approximately 2250 Higl
Schools are members for this year anC
many others are rejected each veal
because of inability to qualify fol
one or more reasons. The chief ain
/ of the Association is to raise stand
ards in both the Higher Institution,
and the High Schools of the Nortl
5 Central States. The advantage
/ granted to member schools are many
) but the chief gain in striving fo
Y membership is found in the improve,
: condition of the school in that com
munity whose High School has beel
able to meet the regulations an
q stanadrds of this Association.

SADOR TO BRITAIN

Washington, April 15.-In appoint
ing Charles G. Dawes, former vice
president, to be ambassador TO Great
Britain, President Hoover again has
pushed aside the bureaucratic, red
tape artists and tea hounds and
adopted the business mans direct
way of dealing with the nations most
serious foreign problem, the adjust
ment of Anglo-American difficulties
growing out of the naval dispute.
Dawes, regarded by many as one
of the most blunt, outspoken men in
public life, has been selected for the
most delicate foreign undertaking in
the Hoover administration.
President Hoover recently made in
quiry of the British government as to
whether Dawes would be an accept
able successor to Alanson B. Hough-
ton, who was resigning. Word was
received from London Wednesday that
the appointment would be regarded
with favor. Announcement according
ly was made at the White House and
the nomination will be sent TO the
senate next week with every likeli-
hood of prompt confirmation.

MADSEN TAGGING
UNLICENSED CARS
Those Tagged Must Report to Sher-
ifs Office At Once and Apply for
Licenses or Take Chances on Prose-
cutiOn and S1O0 Fine.

Sheriff Madsen and his force of
assistants, true to their word, got
busy Immediately after April 18th
rounding up all of those people who
are on the roads with unlicensed cars.
Last Monday morning the officers
went out with tags and whenever a
car was found with a 1928 license, a
tag was attached instructing the own
er to appear at once at the sheriff S
office and attend to this duty pronto
without further parley or delay or be
prepared to face arrest and possible
conviction and a fine of $100. 1t is
reported that a surprisingly large
number of cars were tagged and that
Deputy Sheriff Murry has been busy
all week, working overtime, making
out applications for licenses.
Sheriff Madsen in an interview
with a. representative of the Produc-
ers News seemed ''hard boiled" on the
proposition. He said he he was max
ing the rounds of the villages of the
county and would tag all cars as he
found them, and that he or his depu-
ties would stop all cars found on the
road and tag them. He said there are
a lot of cars in the county that die
not get licenses last year and that il
was his opinion that those who are
driving cars which were not licensed
last year would not only have to get
licenses for this year but for last yeal
as we'll, before they could get license!
for this year. The sheriff says tha-
after April Both, a penalty of ter
per cent must be added and that al
not having complied with the law b!
that time would be prosecuted.
There has been, it is reported,
rush for licenses during the past few
days.
