SWEDEN FEEDS
CATTLE
WOOD FODDER

Wood from Sweden's forests, which
have solved many problems since the
war stopped that countrys inflow of
foodstuffs and raw materials, has been
$50 successfully converted into paper
fodder for horses and cattle that $780,
1000 tons are expected to be consumed
this year, Therese Bonney asserts in
the current issue of Golfers Weekly.
Moreover, sugar extracted from the
wood comprises the major portion of
a diet upon which pigs in Sweden
seem to thrive, says Miss Money
who, in writing of the paper fodder,
states:
"It costs the farmer about two cents
a kilogram, little more than two
pounds, and he must buy four kilo-
grams of the fodder every time he
buys two pounds of oil cakes If he
ordinarily feeds his horses oats, hay
and oil cakes, from so to so per cent
of the oats must be replaced by the
specially treated paper fodder.
For cattle, up to 40 per cent of the
oats ration must give way to paper
Such a diet reduces the production of
milk about 25 per cent, but seems to
cause little loss of energy in either
morses or cattle"

cies concerned with the development
of the Missouri Basin can build addi
tional projects for the best use of the
stored water The plan is entirely
flexible to meet changing conditions
and to meet the unforeseeable needs
of the future, and it provides for de-
sirable notifications as the projects
are built and as other conditions show
| to be advisable. 1t provides also for
further expansion by all agencies in
the fields with which they are directly
concerned. 1t in no way precludes
the development of single-purpose de-
velopment may not be feasible. A
definite part of the plan is the use of
existing storage for multiple purposes.
The report treats all water uses on a
comparable basis and does not re-
strict the use of the projects to any
single purpose.
Throughout it's investigations in
the Missouri River Basin and in fact
everywhere in the west, the depart
ment co-operates fully with the Blu
reau of Reclamation, the Federal Pow
er Commission, the Department of
Agriculture and other federal agen-
cies in order that the plans proposed
in the departments reports may be
fully co-ordinated with the plans of all
other agencies and that they may
clearly fit into the best development |
Of the water resources of the region. |
For several years the department has
had definite agreements of co-opera-
ton with these agencies which pro-
vide for free interchange of factual |
data, cooperative investigations, and |
review of conclusions. The Missouri .
river report is now with the commits

and comment. The Department of

FOOD COSTS
in BUTTE
HAVE RISEN

Food costs in Butte, increased 0.3
per cent in the month ending Novem-
Der Is, compared with decrease of
OF per cent throughout the nation,
Edison H. Cramer, regional price
economist of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the Department of Labor,
reported in Denver today.
The Butte increase was due to price
increases of 20 per cent for eggs, 0.6
per cent for meats and 0.5 per cent
for fats and oils. All other food
groups included in the BIS index
showed local decreases.
Nationally, seasonal declines were
recorded in the prices Of oranges and
winter vegetables, accounting for
much of the drop in overall food
costs.
The food index for Butte stood at
1869 per cent of the 1858 average
on November Is, or O.3 per cent above
a month ago and 4.3 per cent above
the November 1912 level

FEED SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec T. Governor
Dewey's national scare-campaign about
a supposed feed shortage in New
York and New England was exposed
authoritatively today by federal food
officials.
There is more feed grain in the
New York and New England area
than in any previous year that | can

food production for the War Food Ad-
ministration and president of the Com

aid added that twice as much feed
grain was shipped into the area this
year as was shipped in during 1889.
May Ask Congress Probe
Without specific reference to the
Dewey campaign to convince the pub
lie that the policies of government
agencies had prevented dairy farmers
and poultry raisers from getting
enough feed, Hutson said

the feed situation today is the con-

the intent OF the article is LC
lead people to believe that the
Army engineers are trying to
put through a plan detrimental
to Montana's best interest, that
our irrigation projects and the
development Of hydro-electric
power are to be relegated to
an inferior position"
Mr.. O'Connor states that an anal
ysis of the survey and report of the
Army engineers shows that the plan
is flexible and that the storage of
the dams "can be utilized to the maxi
mum extent consistent with the needs
of the surrounding territories" He
also calls attention to the practical
self of the flood control and naviga-
ton benefits from the dams, and that
these will substitute the development
of power and irrigation use. He
says: Opposition to the two dams in

gresham O'Connor, Maj. Gen. E. Rey-
bold, chief of engineers, describes the |

Senator Murray announced today
that this project will bring 11,6O0
acres of new land under irrigation
when it is completed The total cost
of the project, the senator said, will
be S1,62S,000, of which sum $706,000
will be new appropriations. The gov
eminent has expended through con-
tribution of labor by the Work Prof
ects administration and the Civilian
Public Service unit of the Army a
total of $922,00O up to the present
time
New development work on the prof.
ect will largely be on the Fallon unit
as the Terry and Shirley units are
well advanced and will be completed
in time for crop productions In 1914
The project will require the use of
202 tons of steel to construct main
plant on the Yellowstone
river for the Fallon unit and to COM

The corporation profits for
the third quarter of 1912 ac-
cording to the report were five
billion, seven hundred million
'the highest for any quarter

this quarter, the profits totaled over
two billion dollars after deducting
