Tests Show Grain
Increases Milk

More feed in the heifer means
more milk in the pail!
Reporting on the results of
feeding trials, c. L. Blackman,
extension specialist in dairy hus-
bandry, at Ohio State Univer-
sity says heiferS given an ample
grain and hay ration were larger
in height and girth at freshening
time than those receiving no
grain.
Holstein heifers fed grain in
the tests averaged l,227.8 pounds
more milk in the first lactation
than those without grain, and
granted Jerseys averaged $685.
pounds more milk than those
without grain.
Based on these tests, Black
man offers the following feeding
program designed to fit dairy
heifers for the milk producing
job ahead.
Heifers, o to IL months of age,
he suggests, be fed 8 to 5 pound
OF grain daily, along with good
quality legume or mixed hay and
a limited amount of corn or
grass silage.
Although normal growth is pos
slbie on hay and silage between
IL to "a months. Blackman feels
some grain is usually desirable.
Plenty of pasture and a $3.50
mixture of salt and bone meal,
free fed, are advised.

Falls Places Bid for
Old Folks Home

Columbia Falls proposal to To-
cate the new State Home for the
Aged adjacent to the State Sol
diers' Home has been placed in
the hands of Governor John w.
Bonner and the State Board of
Examiners.
Kalispell's chamber has express
ed the desire to help, and White
fish is cooperative.
Three main points of the Flat
head proposal are dignity, savings
to the taxpayer and medical
treatment.
1t is felt that Montana would
be considerable in having a place
for it's old folks adjacent to a
State old Soldiers Home and in
section preferred by people who
are retiring. This respects dig
nifty" much more than sending old
people to Warm Springs.
Since the state already owns
100 acres at the Soldiers Home,
there is a taxpayers point. Also
to be taken into account are the
100000 worth of new water sys-
tenn, wiring and heating plant i'm
provements at the home as well
as vacant Accommodations that could
be repaired and used temporarily.
Further that a combination OF
two state institutions could afford
more complete medical treatment
facilities for mutual benefit.
President Lee Dickey returned
to the city Thursday, and he and
Mayor John O'Connell plan to keep
the ball rolling. A session with
