Reading As An Aid
To Crammer

WASHINGTON CAMP In an
article in the fall issue of the
Journal of Negro education, Oak.
ley C. Johnson of billiard univer-
sity points out that most Of the
students who enter our Negro
colleges are less than we'll prepar-
ed in English.
Mr.. Johnson states that this lack
is apparent in vocabulary, literary
background, and writing ability"
and shows itself in all phases of
the students work.
Johnson feels that more than
mechanics should be refined; he
says these should really be absorb
ed unconsciously in the act of ed
vocational maturity.
Continuing, the educator said
that his idea is that reading more
will improve high school pupils
language facility; and guided
reading will improve literary back
ground.
Johnson suggested that it is up
to the teachers andthe parents to
help persuade and guide the pupil
imam extensive reading program
during high school.
The author himself conducted a
small controlled study which bore
out his ideas.

Farm and Ranch Experiences
Pasture Fattens Calves
With Little Grain
Experiences
BY R. L. LEWIS. Luke County

ITO GET GOOD finish on beef
calves on pasture with little
grain, I select good type calves at
weaving time and shut them up, got
them gentle and started ON grain
during the winter months.
By March, my calves were eating
S pounds of grain. I was feeding 2
parts rolled wheat, l part rolled
oats, plus 1i10 concentrate. This
feeding was continued until May Is.
BY this time my irrigated pasture
was six inches high.
The first two or three days the
calves did not come in for grain.
After that they came in once a day
for grain and received 2k to 3
pounds all summer, which is all they
would eat.
The calves weighed about 500
pounds when started On feed. By
Nov. 1 they graded good to choice
and sold for % cents per pound and
averaged $40 pounds.
The calves consumed a total of
300 pounds of grain each to make a
gain of 440 pounds, or less than two
pounds of grain for each pound of
gain.
I had excellent pasture all season
close to the feed lot. Running water
and shade were available at all
times. The calves were sprayed with
DOT to keep off the flies. They were
also treated for grub control.
An early start on feed, abundant
grass, quiet handling, plenty of wa
ter and shade and insect control
all contributed to good gains for the
feed used.

cold spells to bring the temperature average up to near normal for the
period.
Weather Changes
The period begins cold and the temperatures rising in connection
with cloudy weather and a storm to develop over northern Montana
about the 18th. A few days of wet, disagreeable weather and light
snowfall throughout Montana and northern Wyoming, heaviest along
the Canadian border, re due at this time The storm should clear
this area by the 18th, followed by a cold wave in its path. A disturb
ance in the central Rocky mountain region is expected to bring snow
mainly to Wyoming from the 10th to 22nd followed by warmer weather
over the weekend.
Light precipitation is probable west of the continental divide and in
the mountain sections from the 25th to 9th, but the most favorable
moisture period is indicated for Friday, the 18th, through the 31st A
storm front is expected to reach western Montana about the 18th and
gradually overspread this forecast area for a few days of cold, wet,
dsagreeable weather and light to moderate snow. Strong winds and
a blizzard may develop before the storm leaves this area at the close
of the month. A sharp drop in temperatures will follow the storm,
with a cold wave expected by the Both to prevail into February.

Laurence Osburnsen, a technician

a site for a dam. Mr.. Osburnsen sur

yards.
The district entered into a contract
with me for the construction of this
dam. 1t was completed by the dis
trict late in the fall of 1914. I put
a culvert made of plank through the
dam two feet below the spillway

water could be spread over compare

Ice Fills Ditch
In the spring of 1916 technicians
of the soil conservation service sur
veyed a diversion ditch, and I con-
structed it with my tractor and a
pillow. In February, 1947, we had a
thaw, and this ditch filled with water
and later froze into ice. When the
real thaw came in the latter part of
March, the water went over the
spillway for the first time, but the
ditch for spreading the water was
useless IN account of being full of
ice.
On June 20, 1947, the McCone soil
conservation district brought out a
portable pump, and this I ran with
my tractor and pumped water from
the reservoir through the culvert in
the dam and irrigated about 10 acres

We Bagged a Big Cat
A Mountain Lion Hunt on the Salmon River
By JACK CADY, Hill County

/ HAD BEEN through Decker
basin and Squaw Creek canyon a
number of times looking for lion
sign. I found where the big cats had
killed two deer in Decker basin and
three in Squaw creek. BY the tracks
I had seen in both places, there were
a mama cat with two kittens and a
yearling that travelled together. I
watched their travels for some time
to be sure to find fresh tracks when
the weather was right for a cat hunt.
The first of February was very
nice weather except for a crust on
the snow that would hold the big
cats, so that in places they left no
tracks at all. I just had to wait for
snow. AT last the snow came, three
or four inches of nice, soft snow for
good tracking.
I always took one of my dogs or
both out with me. I wanted them
ready to hunt when everything was
in good order. Queen had only
passed her first birthday, Christmas
day. She was always eager to hunt,
being a tree walker from a coon and
possom dog family in Arkansas. Red
was larger, a Redbome and blood
hound cross. Red had one or two big
cats to his credit already and knew
the ways of the woods and noun
tains.

Of alfalfa and my garden. The
weather at this time was very dry
and the irrigation of the garden
caused all the crops to grow rapidly.
Good Results
On the first and second of August
the garden was again irrigated and
water was put on the same alfalfa
as before. The result was the best
garden we have ever had. We had
an abundance of melons, cucumbers,
sweet corn, pop corn, tomatoes, cab
bage and potatoes. I harvested 35
of alfalfa, the yield being close
to 100 pounds to the acre. Nearly
all of this seed, however, came from
the 10 acres that was irrigated.
This was my first experience in
using water on land, and l found
out a few of the things I did not
know about irrigation.

trail from the river road over a low
saddle, then down into Squaw creek.
When l came to the bottom of the
canyon, there was a fresh trail near
the creek on the other side of the
canyon. We hurried across, and sure
enough, here was mama lion with
her two kittens going up the canyon.
1 could hardly hold the dogs, they
were so eager for the trail. The
tracks seemed less than an hour old.
The dogs were so eager that l let
them go right away. In less than 100
yards Red began his hot trail song
and Queen was soon whooping it up
too. The cats followed the creek
only a short distance, then they
turned up a rocky ridge which
formed the lower end of the open
mountain side.
The chase was all On the opposite
side of the ridge from me, so I ran
across the level canyon floor to get
where I could see what was happen
ing. After I passed the point of the
ridge, I could see a mile or more up
the mountain. At first I could only
SET the dogs. Then farther up the
slope near a tumble of rocks I could
see mama lion trying to push the
two kittens behind her as she pre-
pared to face the dogs.
1t was 500 or 500 yards from RE,
but I decided to try a shot at mama
lion anyway. I was afraid for the
dogs, so I sat in the snow, took q
careful aim, and when I squeezed off
a shot, I saw a splash in the snow as
mama cat rolled over. Then she was
climbing over the rock pile.
Kittens in a Hole
The dogs were less than 200 yards
from the cats now, and their baying
was enough to scare a dozen cats. I
saw the kittens climb over the rocks
and disappear too. I wondered if
they had a den in those rocks. I
didn't have long to wonder. I soon
saw mama running across the hill
side alone. She was much too far to
shoot at now, SO I watched the dogs
as I climbed toward the pile of rocks
where the kittens had disappeared.
When the dogs came to the pile of
rocks, wise old Red made a wide
circle to 60 on up the mountain al
he picked up mama's tracks on the
other side. The kittens were not in
sight anywhere, but as Queen went
over the rocks the tone of her voice
said, 'here they are in a hole"
I was still 100 yards from Queen
when she found the kittens and I
finished it all out of breath. 1t was
a steep hard climb. The kittens were
wedged in a small hole between two
big rocks, which they were carefully
guarding with barred claws and
snarls. Nice little playthings?
End of Deer Killers

when I heard Red up the mountain
barking freed. I was between two
fires now, and I wished for my %

winter has been reached, and as a result we can
expect a decline in moisture for this area. There
will, however, be a few storms crossing this area,
but the resultant precipitation is expected to be
mostly light. The principal storm-precipitation
periods are: the 18th to 18th, mostly in Montana;
goth to 22nd, mainly in Wyoming; 18th to 31st,
throughout the area.
This is normally the coolest time of the winter,
and Montana Farmer-Stockman territory can pre-
pare for some extremely cold waves, but of short
duration. Frequent weather changes will cause
