Gle disease, nor has any other state
reported affected dairy calves.
There's a point to remember. Why
beef calves and not dairy calves?
Obviously, because the dairy cows
are nearly always fed a mixed grain
ration through the winter, while
beef cattle are wintered on hay. And
the vitamin E is found in grains,
mostly.
But there are a lot of things that
are hard to hook up with this vi
tamin E theory. Why does the dis
ease appear at such irregular in
tervals, often missing several years.
Why does it occur only in quite
definite zones, near Darby, near
Roman, Grey Cliff, Arlee, Bozeman,
Plains? Why don't we hear of it in
eastern Montana, " any place away
from the mountains? What have the
mountains got to do with vitamin
E.? These are some of the puzZling
features of the white muscle disease.
Stockgrowers Ask Research
At the last meeting of the Montana
Stockgrowers, a resolution was
passed asking for research in white
muscle disease. Earlier this yea two
o. three requests were received for
feed and forage analyses in white
muscle districts. All this means that
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

the high value of livestock has
caused stockmen to look more closely
into calf losses, losses which would
have been more or less ignored 10
years ago. The disease is not new
in the state, but having no char
acteristic symptoms, it just hasn't
been recognized in some areas until
the stockmen have been sufficiently
concerned to call a veterinarian.
Any research work obviously must
start from the vitamin E problem.
Even though we do not understand
how vitamin E can be lacking, or
why it does thus and so, we cannot
overlook the fact that many white
muscle lambs can be cured with one
dose of wheat germ oil, and that the
disease can be prevented by the use
of wheat germ meal.
There is no point in making soil,
water and grass analyses for their
mineral content, etc. We must start
with vitamin E, find out whether it
is actually lacking in the feed in
these disease zones, or whether there
is something there that interferes
with either the assimilation or func-
tons of vitamin E. In New York
they figured out a grain and hay
ration for sheep, which will prevent
the occurrence of "stiff lambs,' may
be an inexpensive grain feed can be
figured out for stock cattle.
No n can run sheep or cattle
with a bottle of medicine in n
pocket and a hypodermic syringe in
another. If we can't raise cattle and
sheep on a ranch and use the native
grown hay and grain to feed them,
then we had better raise ducks or
rabbits, or give the ranch back to
the Indians or TO the FSA. But
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

maybe, by using some grain during
the winter, for the breeding cows,
we can beat this white muscle dis
ease.

How to Clean Septic Tanks
By E. B. WILSON
Extension Agricultural Engineer

extension Engineer
THE DISAGREEABLE task of
cleaning septic tanks becomes neces
sary every so often. If the septic
tank is large, it will not have to
be cleaned out nearly as often as a
smaller one. However, even the
large ones have to be cleaned
eventually.
Cleaning a septic tank is a disa-
greeable task, but if the proper pre-
cautions are taken, it need not be
an especially dangerous task, or an
expensive one.
The sludge that forms ia the bot
tom of a septic tank can be pumped
out with an ordinary rotary or cen
trifugal pump. The intake pipe
should be cut at an angle so that
when the point sets on the bottom
of the tank, the hole in the pipe
will draw the sludge and liquid to
it. A flat or square cut pipe will
set on the bottom and the sludge
or liquid cannot get into it.
The sludge and liquid from the
septic tank can be pumped out onto
the ground, flushed with clean water
and allowed to stand in the sun
for a day or two, after which the
action of the u and air leaves it
odorless and harmless.
Generally, however, the septic
tank is very close to the house
and garden, so that the material
pumped from it will have to be
carried out and dumped on a field,
not a pasture. Any kind of a tank
or old barrels can be used to haul
it to the field.
1t is very important that these
same barrels or tank, and the pump,
be not used to handle domestic or
livestock water afterwards.
Do Not Wash
When a septic tank is pumped
out it should NOT be washed out
and ~disinfected. This will retard the
starting of the septic action when
the tank is put back into use. Like
wise, it is not necessary to put in
yeast or chemicals of any kind to
make it work. The bacteria are al
ready there and more enter with
the sewage, and the sewage itself is
the best bacterial food.
Since the septic action is similar
to the action of decay, it sometimes
speeds up the action if a small
amount of decaying matter, such as
a dead animal, is thrown into the
septic tank.
Frequently septic tanks do not
work properly, but it is generally
because they are improperly con
structed or the disposal system j:
clogged. To determine whether OF
not your septic tank system is con.
structed properly, consult Extension
Circular 200, entitled Sept,
Tanks" which is available from an,
county extension office or from
Montana State college.

be engaged to design at least one
modern, luxurious hotel.
Mr.. Kincaid, as the story goes,
suggested that President Trujillo's
government need not go outside the
island for architectural talent. Do
minican- born Guillermo Gonzalez
could do it. Mr.. Gonzalez, Yale
educated, was given the commission.
He designed the chalk-white, mod
ernistic Hotel Jaragua, set in q
broad parklike stretch of green in
Ciudad Trujillo's residential area
and overlooking the Caribbean.
The Jaragua Is becoming more
widely known as one Of the glamour
spots of the West Indies. More

pronounce 1t. For those who have
difficulty with Spanish novels and
consonants, it's Hah-ra-gwa.

guiana, in scenic San Juan de Ma
guiana, was opened last fall. The
San Cristobal, 20 miles by paved
highway from the capital city, has
added a number of concrete bunga-
lows. They were ready for the VIM
ter season, which began in early
December.
Now being pushed to completion
for the spring season Is the Hotel
de Montana Ell Puerto. Located 2,750
feet up in the mountains between
La Vega and Jarabocoa, this sporty
resort lies in what natives call the
hunting and fishing paradise Of the
Caribbean. Wild birds and fowl and
fresh water game fish abound in the
area. In the distance towers Mount
Trujillo, its 10000 feet justifying the
claim as highest peak in the West

'manner that is used to make photo
graphic Christmas cards.
This Is very simple straight
copy job. You Just take apart your
l949 calendar that you bought and
copy individual month with you1
camera. These copies must be made
for maximum contrast, SO that the
numerals will print sharp and black
against the white background of the
paper at the time of print making
Should any of the numerals on the
calendar that you are copying be
red. they will photograph a much
lighter shade than the black figures
You can avoid this by filling in the
red numerals with black ink before
copying or, if you prefer, let them
60 light and paint them red with
water colors or oils later on after
your calendar has been completed.
A mask should be made next with
an opening at the top for the
picture and a smaller one at the
bottom for the month of the year
This mask is then clipped or taped
to the sheet Of printing paper and
the set7!p is inserted in the print
Ing ease: of your enlarger. Then
cover the lower opening of the mask
with q sheet of black paper and
expose your picture negative
through the larger opening of the
mask. At this point you should sub
stitute the month negative for the
picture negative and make the
second exposure after covering the
larger opening Of the mask with
the black paper.
Protest for Paper Exposure.
To assure that both prints on the
one sheet of printing paper come ur
evenly in the developer you should
make preprinting tests form each
negative-then go ahead with
making the two separate exposures
on the one sheet, and If you have
been accurate in your testing both
images should come out of the de-
veloper at the same time.
After the II prints are dried ano
Strengthened they should be mounted
on sheets of cardboard and trimmed
Dry mounting tissue will do the best
job for you, but paste or rubber
cement will be satisfactory if cor.
rectly used. Only a Photographic
paste should be used-otherwise the
prints will almost surely become
stained after a short time.
For the final touch of perfection
you can color the photographs with
either oil or water colors if you are
adept in their use. But if you have
not had previous experience il
coloring photographs, you shoulc
let we'll enough alone
To complete the JOB, punch hole!
in the tops of the II sheets and joir
either with ribbon or notebook
rings. If you were careful in the
execution of this project you should
now have a masterpiece Of practical
Photographic art.
Should you have, say, only six
pictures worthy OF such use, you can
double up" by printing two months
on each sheet having a photograph
Or with four pictures you can, in q
pinch, print three months per sheet

Several years before World War
II, an American businessman took
trip into the Caribbean. AS a
tourist, he was one of many thou
sands of Americans who sail or fly
to the West Indies for winter vaca-
tions; as q business executive, he
was interested in accommodations
travellers might find in the sunny
chain of islands that hens in the
Caribbean from the rambunctious
Atlantic.
He was not exactly off the beaten
track when he dropped in on the
Dominican Republic, which shares
an island with Haiti. Neither was
he visiting an outstanding favorite
in the world of pleasure travel. Yet
the growing popularity Of this land
that Columbus loved" might date
from his visit and his reaction. For
in one respect, he was disappointed.
He voiced his criticism to a man
who could do something about 1t.
The visitor was J. Leslie Kincaid,
president Of the American Hotels
Corp, and the person who heard
the complaint was the Republics
strong man." President Trujillo.
Mr.. Kincaid conceded he was i'm
pressed by the agreeable climate,
liked the picturesque land of palm
shaded valleys and blue mountains
that run down to the sea. But he
would not be interested he said, in
coming back. He ventured the
opinion that the hostelrfes were a
bit short of what American tourists
particularly monied Americans
might expect.
That would be remedied, the Wis

kitchen walls with the usual
calendar art that comes from the
tradesmen or your neighborhood
garage? If so, let's spend an hour
or so in the darkroom with a few
favorite negatives and produce q
Photographic calendar. If nothing
else, it will be original and highly
personalized. We can turn out a
product that will be a constant
reminder of the more pleasant
moments of life that we thought
enough of to permanently record on
film.
There are several ways to make a
Photographic calendar. All are
easy to accomplish. You will simply
be governed by your own personal
taste in the matter and by the num-
Der and kind of negatives in your
file.
If you are one of those who feel
that they have made only one top
notch picture in their photographic
career, and are itching for an excuse
to get it out for the public to notice,
you can make the simplest of all
photo-calendars. You need only
one sheet of Photographic paper
and the small pad of calendar
months that you can buy at any
store. You simply print the picture,
properly centered, in the upper
portion of the sheet Of paper and,
with paste or a stapler, fix the
calendar leaflet to the center of the
lower portion. Then hang on the
wall-and there you are.
Seasoned Selections Are Good.
The more fortunate photo fan
with an extensive file of good
negatives can have real field day
can turn out a calendar with a
different picture for each month of
the year. The choice of subject
matter for the illustrations may be
governed by one Of several factors.
If you inclined to follow the general
trend of having photo to illustrate
each of the various seasons Of the
year you will do well to go over
your entire stock of file negatives.
AS examples, you might select a
baby negative as your January
illustration, a snow picture for
February, a windswept scene for
March, flowers for April, a beach
shot for July.
To be different. you can use pic
lures of the children, your favorite
pet, still-life scenes or tabletop
views. You can ignore all of these
ideas and just use the IL best pic
lures that you may have on hand
In addition to making an unusual
and useful calendar for yourself
you can do the same for your
friends who have special or appro-
pirate negative material. And If
you decide to use the children for
subjects, you might just as well
make up few extra copies for the
grandparents and other members
of your family. There is little else
that you could give at such a low
cost that will keep your friends
and relations so pleasantly, re-
minded of you during the year.
Copying the Calendar.
You can do really first-rate
and professional looking job with
just little more time and effort
than described here for the single
sheet type. In this instance you
will prepare a separate sheet for
each month of the year, with the
photograph for the month printed
in the upper portion of the sheet
and the calendar month printed on
the lower part. The printing part
is accomplished much in the
