toms dairy, January 9, 1900.
Some mighty rumblings coulo
be counted on from Capitol Hill
today if Washington's present
housing picture looked like the one
facing the Nations legislators in
1900.
Then, the infant Capital started
the year off boasting hardly 300
houses, and mostly miserable
small huts" at that, according to
contemporary. BY fall, when
Congress was due. the best efforts
OF real estate promoters hadn't
provided enough new houses even
to begin to meet the sudden de-
mand.
Then influx of legislators and
bureaucrats turned the Federal
City, in the words of one histor-
ian, into a "city of boarding
homes" High officials and me
chanics" alike had such quarters,
although usually under separate
roofs. One initiated, more than
half of Congress preferred the
boarding houses to the city's
hotels for so years afterwards.
Since there weren't enough
rooms to go around. many board
ers were forced to pair up. One
boarder on Capitol Hill rated a
room by himself. however-House

ing the winter. These cases are cited
briefly as follows:
Herd No. I: This herd ran in an
area that was also extremely dry in
1948. No green feed was available
after July l, 1948. The herd wintered
on dry range plus cottonseed cake
and some poor quality alfalfa hay
toward spring.
By calving time in 1949 the herd
had been without green feed nearly
nine months. Out of 100 cows 20
actually died calving and about 80
more were either dry or lost calves
The net result was about a so per-
cent calf crop.
In 1850 however, the owner
changed his feeding practices to off
set any possible deficiency. Salt and
bonemeal were kept before stock be-
ginning in early summer of 1949
Winter feeding was started in early
December, consisting of alfalfa straw
and fairly good oat hay with some

Irregularities. Such cows usually did
not clean properly after calving.
1t is recognized that without
blood agglutination test certain of
the above conditions could be at
tributed to Brucellosis. However, it
is reasonable to assume that much
of the cause was probably nutri
tional deficiency when the feed his
tory and previous symptoms in the
whole herd indicated deficiencies.
recommendations on correcting
feed deficiencies were made to cat
tie owners according 10 conditions
of the herd and feed available on
the ranch. Mixtures of half salt and
half bonemeal or other high phos-
phorus mineral were advised for all
stock not having access to the same.

Quality Hay or Pellets
To prevent or correct vitarnin A
deficiency the feeding of good quail
ity hay less than year old at the
rate of at least 10 pounds per head
per day was advised. Where good
hay was not available the feeding of
pellets containing 5000 units of
stabilized vitamin A per pound and
at the rate of two pounds per day
was advised. Either of these feeds
was sufficient to revive the general
condition of animals within 10 days
to two weeks.
No evidence of a protein deficien
cy was seen except in one here
where a total nutritional deficienc.
existed.

Herd Cases

Here is a practical summary
of the symptoms and effects
of dietary trouble in range
livestock and suggested means
of prevention and control made
as result of an actual study
of cattle under range condition
in southeastern Montana last
fall and winter and extending
10 the present time.
This is a report that every
range cattle and sheep operator
will want TO read.

to 80 percent calf crops and herds
where nearly half the cows were SO
blind they could not see feed on the
ground and producing barely so
percent calf crop.
Herd Cases
There were, however, two very
interesting cases in herds that re-
ceived no concentrate feed of any
kind but did have either green feed
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-11-15

Horn county during the winter and
early spring of 1850 proved rather
conclusively that lack of quality and
not quantity of feed was largely re-
sponsible for the difficulty with
which cattle wintered and the losses
of newborn calves that followed.
More specifically, lack of phos-
phorus and or vitamin A was the
real cause.
Since 1949 was dry year with
very little green feed on ranges, it
was expected that certain nutritional
deficiencies would develop unless
cattle were fed adequate supple
ments before it was too late.
Study Ia Herds
To prove or disprove these ex-
pectations perio die observations
were made on Is different cow herds
totaling over 100 animals. In gem
eral it was possible to find some
animals in nearly every herd which
showed signs of either phosphorus
or vitamin A deficiency or combi-
nation of the two.
Strangely enough, cattle in the
early stages of a vitamin A deficien-
cy were not necessarily in poor flesh.
For this reason very few stockmen
were able to recognize early symp-
toms of nutritional deficiencies. Also,
only few operators started feeding
early enough to prevent the devel-
opment of deficiency diseases.
Because it was Impractical to Sc
cure laboratory tests on such large
number of animals the determina-
ton of deficiencies had to be made
by common observation. Common
symptoms of phosphorus deficien-
ey usually noticed were rough ir-
regular .backlines, stiff gaits, rough
hair and general unthriftiness. The
fact that very few herds had ever
been fed bonemeal or any other
high-phosphorus mineral made il
easy to suspect phosphorus def
cheney.
May Prevent Breeding
The extent to which a lack. o.
PHOSPHORUS may have caused some
cows not to breed at all during the
summer of 1949 is also a question
California investigators report tina
a PHOSPHORUS deficiency will inter
rupt the regular heat cycle and caus,
COWS not to breed for some months
A general lack of green feed TO
five months or more was the back
ground for anticipating vitamin
deficiency. This was considered ade
quate time for most cows and heit
ers to exhaust nearly all reserv
vitamin A in their body storage
Unless cattle were fed plenty c
new-crop hay with good gree
color or pellets containing stabilize
witamin A, symptoms of this def
cheney continued to develop.
The usual symptoms noted WEI
poor appetites, dizziness, incoordin;
ton of gait, watery eyes and final
night blindness. In some cases ce
tain nervous Irregularities were al:
noted including local paralysis
the hind quarters. Cows sufferir
from blindness usually acted wi
and "goofy."

cows at calving time with plenty of
cent calf crop in 1850 which was
produced at considerably less feed
cost per COW than in 1949.
Herd No. II: This herd was a
straight bunch of bred coming q
year-old heifers. Recalling expert
ences in other dry years, the owner
put these heifers on green volunteer
wheat in stubble fields following
fall rains. This provided about two
months of good green feed before
winter set in. The heifers were fed
IN a winter pasture starting Dec. 20
and received 10 pounds of good
alfalfa hay per day plus straw and
grazing. No concentrate of any kind
was fed. A salt-bonemeal mixture
was available at all times. Full feed
ing alfalfa was started March l or
about three weeks before calving and
continued for about eight weeks.
The amount OF hay fed all winter
and spring added up to less than a
ton per head Out of 10 heifers
bred "a calves were branded and
the owner reports they will aver
age at least 400 pounds today.
Conclusions of Study
Some of the important conclusions
of the Big Horn county study are:
l. General unthriftiness and poor
utilization of feed resulting from nu-
tritional deficiencies rather than a
total lack of feed was the principal
cause of loss. Death losses in cows
and heifers were slight but losses
from abortion or weak, immature
calves at birth were rather heavy.
g. Where cattle were showing
early symptoms of vitamin A de-
ficiency and the available hay sup
ply was not of good quality feeding
concentrates containing at least 5000
units of vitannin A per pound and
at the rate of 2 pounds per head per
day was sufficient to revive the gen.
eral condition of animal within 10
days. Equally good results were OBJ
tanned where good quality hay less
than year old was fed at the rate
of 10 pounds per head or more per
day.
8. The feeding of concentrates con-
tanning vitannin A or good quality
hay within 80 days prior to calving
was not sufficient to prevent early
losses from dead, weak or immature
calves where positive symptoms Of
vitamin A deficiency had previously
appeared in the herd as whole.
4. No evidence of phosphorus de
ficiency in the form of skeleta1 ir
Irregularities was observed in any
y herd which had access to salt bone
meal mixture for so days or NOR,
= prior to observation.
5. Stockmen who fed good qualit,
, hay or concentrates containing vita
min A in adequate amounts so day
or more prior to calving produces
calf crops of IS percent or better
Stockmen who did not follow thi
practice produced calf crops of z
percent or less.
m 6. Cows and heifers that were o
- good green feed for one to tw
or months during the 1949 fall seaso
a. generally wintered in better cond
n ton and produced larger calf cror

mass production that makes it
possible to bring distinctive fash
ions to millions of women.
Americans excel at making such
clothes because 80 per cent of our
women live in them, and, unlike
other countries, the United States
caters to a mass market and en-
ploys unsurpassed methods Of
mass production. In Europe the
speciality of the couture are spec
tacular fashions for specific Gus
toners, who represent limited
group of privileged women.
The style, fabrics and construc-
ton of American sportSwear are
usually dictated by the needs OF
the wearer; rarely by the whims
of the designer. A designer can't
90 off the deep end when he Gre
ates clothes which must be prac-
ticaI as we'll as smart: which must
look as we'll when they arrive by
plane, ship, train. automobile or
bus as when they took off for their
journey. American casual clothes
are inveterate travellers, and the
designer must not only know the
itinerary of the gypsies who are
going to wear them but the geog-
raphy and the climate which
are going to affect their useful
ness. The American woman trav-
eler is the inspiration for such
practical features in our B. H.
Wragge clothes as crease-resistant
finishes on fabrics, stitched-to-
stay pleats and silk Innings in the
back of skirts to prevent bulging.
My particular approach to cas-
ual sportswear is the co-ordinated
wardrobe, and my aim is to give
p the active woman clothes which
by their simplicity and under
statement can assert their au-
thority in all surroundings. In
my opinion, good clothes are like
good manners: They adapt easily
to any setting and fit agreeably
into any group.
The co-ordinated wardrobe
gives woman a two-piece dress,
for example, to which she can
add units as her needs and her
clothes budget dictate. She can
start off with blouse, and add
a skirt, a vest, and a jacket or
coat from time to time until she
has built up a completely inter-
locking ensemble that can be
broken down for other wardrobe
uses.
