many Montana homesteads in
areas served by REA-financed
rural electric systems have been
transformed into highly produe-
tive ranches in the last few
years, REA officials hove inform
ed the Montana Extension Ser
vice.
An example is the former Mo
Girl homestead IL miles east of
Billings, which was purchased
two years ago by Arthur E. Bos-
well and converted into an ell
certified dairy and stock ranch.
Forty dairy cows Ire now mill
ed on the Boswell ranch and 20
more heifers will come into pro-
duction this summer. Last year,
MI. Boswell marketed $50 steers
from his feed lot for the fat
beef market. The balance of hts
marketable Herefords were sold
to breeders for foundation stock.
Many electrical devices are rs
ed or the Boswell ranch, includ-
ing electric lights inside and
outside the buildings, four sin
gle unit milking machines, feed
mixer, milk cooler, two water
systems, stoker water heater,
stoker-operated heating system,
three stock tank water heaters,
numerous electric motors, and a
Walk-in cooler with quick freeze
compartment. The Boswell
ranch receives electricity from
the REA-financed Yellowstone
Valley Electric Cooperative, of
Huntley.
The IL REA-financed rural ell
ectric systems in Montana fur
nish electric service to 1000
farms and other rural consumers
in 26 counties.

ON THE FARM FRONT
v news from tic

Keeping young, well-bred
dairy bulls on the farm until
the producing qualities of their
daughters become known will 60
far in speeding up the develop
ment of high producing herds,
says j. o. Tretsven, extension
dairy specialist at Montana
State College.
Because Of the lack of a prac-
tical pen for handling old bulls
very few sires are kept after
their daughters become of pro-
ducing age he said. In some
instances farmers find that the
young bull they sent to the but
cher had sired daughters that
developed into excellent pro-
ducers.
Herd sires whose daughters
prove to be high producers
should be used as extensively
and as long as possible. Since
the difference in the breeding
qualities of dairy bulls Is so
great, every effort should be
made to test out and prolong the
use of those sires capable OF
transmitting high production to
their daughters. The only safe
and practical way of doing this
is through the use of safety bull
pens, Tretsven says.
Complete directions for build
ing a safety bull pen are con-
tanned in the Montana Extern
sion Service circular THE Safety
Bull Pen" copies of which may
be obtained from county extern
sion agents.

ADVENTURES CLUB S
HEADLINEs FROM THE LIVES %
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF 49,
Behind the Curtain"

YOU know, boys and girls, Old Lady Adventure has some
L funny ways of s~neaking up on a guy. Sometimes she
just comes up behind your back, and sometimes she drops
on you from above. And there are times, too, when she
comes walking right up to you from the front, and you don't
try to get out of her way because she is in disguise and you
don't recognize her.
That's the way it was with John Hoven, New York city.
You know, John started his adventuring career as a sailor
before the mast, and every sailor has half a dozen or more
adventures he can tell you about. But the one John remern-
bers best is his first one-a thrill he got in 1894, and still
remembers.
1t happened when Johns ship called at the port of San
Lucar, Spain, to take on a cargo of lead. 1t was the 18th of
November when they arrived there, but the weather was still
warm and bamy. In the evening, most of the crew went
ashore to see the sights of the town, John went too-and that's when Old
Lady Adventure walked up and grabbed him.
You know. I said that the old girl with the thrill bag sneaked up o n
John in disguise. She did. She came in the clothes customarly worn by
another lady known to the world a s Little Rosie Romance. And John
never knew the difference until it was too late.
On their way into town, the sailors from the ship stopped to
watch a group of Spanish senoritas and senors dancing their native
dances. John says he thinks the dance they we're doing was the
fandango. Anyway, it was the sort of dance in which q senorita
who wants a nw partner, just throws her shawl around the neck
of some bird O. the sidelines who looks good to her. John was
standing pretty close to the platform where the dancing was going
on, and the first thing you know a shawl wa looped around his
neck.
John Adds Fandango to His accomplishments.
Now John says he never was much of a dancer, and fandangos
were way ut Of his class. But this girl was a beauty, and n look
from her big round eyes had John feeling that he'd dance in a barrel Of
red hot nails if it would please her any. Il got away with the dance

an apple tree and a brace of doves,
