STATE COLLEGE
WEEKLY LETTER

Rozeman, Mont, May 12.-Tht
fact that the hog market has mon
his in which prices raise consider
ably above the average for the
year, makes it possible for the
producer to so time his narrowing
that he will receive considerably
more income.
A summary of the Portland hog
market for the period 1910 to 1880
tiscloses August as being the one
'onth when prices reach the high
est point. August prices averaged
S1270 for the 20-year period.
December averages for the period
were 5000. On the Chicago mark
ct September prices reached S11.90
just 30 cents over August.
According to d. p. Richards,
extension livestock specialist at
Montana State College, it takes
about six months with full feeding
to get a hog TO WEIGH between
$50 and 200 pounds. the weights
which usually command top prices.
To put hogs on the high August
market at Portland would mean
narrowing around March the 1st
and feeding until the required finish
was reached.
Ordinarily the hog producer
wishes to take advantage of the
cheap summer feed. A hog on al
falfa will get along with a small
amount Of feed and then when
the new grain crop arrives can be
fattened and shot IN the market.
This cheap feeding may be I'd
vantageous for some producers but
for the man who is equipped to
fallow early and has cheap grain
for feed. the early fall market
will bring him the most profit"
Mr.. Richards.

There searchers in large num-
bers have obtained permission
from Roy A. Swanson, owner OF
the cave, to dig. They nave
worked in several instances under
guidance of Mrs. Swanson, wife
of the owner of the land and on
a contract basis whereby the
finder of any gold would share
half and half with Mrs. Swa lson,
who has gathered quite an assort-
ment of lore about gold reported
buried there by Jesse and his
brother Frank, in the early '70s.
Mrs. Swanson frankly states
hat she has doubts in regard to
the old stories but she and her
husband have been willing to let
any persons. under the spell OF
the search romance, have a
chance to seek the treasure.

The heart liver n kidney of the

Dr.. Hazel K. Stiebeling, food
specialist of the Bureau of the
home economics, U. S. Department
of Agriculture. They are not only
comparatively low in cost but are
usually much richer in vitamins
than muscle meats, she says, and
in addition provide an interesting
variation in the diet.
$50 much has been said recently
about the liver that the demand for
calf liver has ~skyrocketed the price

pensive meats on the market" DR..
Stiebeling said. Beef liver and
hog liver are rich in vitamins and
minerals and are sold anywhere
from 5 to 25 cents a pound. de-
pending chiefly on the locality.
Hog liver is better known in the
South and is usually cheaper than
beef liver.
Like all pork products the hog
liver must be well cooked. Recent
experiments with 1t at the bureau
demonstrated that it is much more
palatable if scalded one-half to one
minute before cooking. With this
procedure it compares f~avorably
with beef and calf liver, Either
kinds of liver may be fried with
or without bacon; scalloped with
potatoes or rice; broiled; cooked
in a casserole; creamed with ham
and served on toast or made into
loaf with rice. The bureau has
tested all these recipes.

in price from II IL to 20 cents a
Calf hearts are more ex-
pensive but are not so high as calf

stuffed with savory dressing and
baked. It's flavor is excellent.
Doctor Stiebeling emphasized
that liver is often cooked too long

suggests steaming or boiling it for

No Longer an Infant

If there is any question about aviation having passed
the Infant industry" stage, proof is at hand. As many
aviation conventions are being held as there are steel
or cotton conventions.
Being Americans. we Judge an industry or group large
ly by the number and nature Of Its meetings. When We
see a large number Of meetings held to discuss q given
subject, we know that subject is important. II 1t hap
pens to be an industry We know 1t Is a conner"
Also. conventions are fine publicity. No up-and-com-
ing newspaper viii ignore . convention in its city, even
II the matter under consideration happened to be that Of
preventing tonsilitis in Siamese parrakeets.
All of which Is incidental to the fact that all of the
states have been asked to send their aviation commits
sioners-or failing that. special aeronautical representa-
tives of the governor-to a convention to be held soon Al
Tulsa, Okla, MaVh Is to ~.
There the aviation industry will duly be taken apart
to see what makes it so precocious. Resolutions will
be solemnly adopted; speeches will be delivered, prophe-
Giles will be made; entertainment will be offered and
received; some work will be done and the convention will
adjourn, serene in the knowledge that the aviation in
dustry will have been saved from the ills Of the cur
rent moment.

Lies Platitudes

A modern essayst has come around to the discovery
that the business of living results mainly in the personal
proving Of the ~platitudes about life. The writer, a con-
tributor to a sophisticated magazine, says "As children
we wrote In copy books innumerable r~epetitons Of state
ments meaning little to us at the time beyond the
achievement of a Spencerian slant. AS the shadows be-
gan to lengthen we learned that many OF these homely,
uninteresting precepts were true"
What a blow all this must seem to the generation
which has called itself modern and boosted its eager
ness to experiment, its daring determination to find truth
at all cost The flappers and the flappers' boy friends
are they after all spending their energy merely to learn
that honesty Is the best policy, that truth crushed to
earth shall rise again, and that a bird in the hand Is
worth two In the bush?
Somehow 1t scarcely seems worth the tremendous stress
and strain. Old and young alike have waxed hot and
emphatic In the battle. Old and young alike have said
things in the heat of argument which calm judy
ment overrules. TO learn now that all this might have
been avoided by simple adherence to the copy books Is
just the sort of irony that life supplies p~lentifully.

Leave It to the Dog
(WaShington Starr

washington StaT)
Lovers of dogs never tire of tales of the sagacity and
fidelity of those animals. However often repeated, they
are always delectable to the admirers of the creature that
has been called mans best friend. Nor are they fiction
stories, for there is no need of fiction in this matter.
They celebrate the dogs faithfulness, its sagacity, its
memory, its veritable reasoning powers, its affection.
A court case in Long Island City is just in point. A
shepherd dog was claimed by two persons, Mrs. Sarah
McShane and Albert Weinberger. The rivals told their
stories about the deg. each setting up a case of owner
ship. Judge Peter DAILY, perhaps himself one who knows
dogs well, concluded that the decision should really rest
with the animal. He ordered that 1t be released from
its leash at the bench. AS the shepherd steadied him
self and looked over the court room, both Mrs. McShane
and Mr.. Wenberger called to it. The dog started down
the room, past both of the major claimants, and thrust
its head into the lap of little Mariyn McShane, aged
two. who sat at the back Of the room. The case was
settled then and there.
This is not an exceptional instance. Judges have
resorted to this e~xpedient many times, and never has an
and memory and affection.

Bath Tubs Beware

Now that the cold cream cult has supplanted soap and
water in caring for feminine compilations. the beauty
specialists are plotting a similar onslaught on the ma
tion's bath tub traditions.
Billions Of dollars have been spent on advertising
facial creams, yet the old-fashioned habit of bathing ex-
clusiyely with soap and water, until recently, has gone
unchallenged.
Since the average American woman seems convinced
that cold cream is kinder to her face than plain soap and
water. the beauty specialists believe that she can be
persuaded to give other portions of her skin the same
treatment, according to a leading authority OF the beau
ty trade.
Maybe they can, but we are going to be p~rejudiced.
We are going to insist on keeping the bathtubs, what
ever happens.
Perhaps other folks will not be SO determined on this
point, however. If they prove to be more open to con-
viction we shall have a real fight on our hands to pre-
serve that ancient American tradition known as the
Saturday night bath.

TEN OF price making which allowed
grain prices fall when a surplus of
wheat began to appear in 1927 and
again in 1928 was the chief cause Of
the stock market crash in 1929 and
the subsequent business depression.
With the decline Of prices well started
the effects were cumulative and there
is, in fact, no bottom. Mr.. Sateren
