Livestock Feeds Available to
Correct Deficiencies
BY F. Il. RALSTON
Extension Livestock Specialist

through steamed bone meal which
contains IL to Is percent and has
been fed free choice or mixed with
salt. Another source of phosphorus
is mono-sodium phosphate, which
contains % to % percent phosphorus
and is usually fed mixed with salt
and some bran to prevent caking. It
is possible to ad mono-sodium phos-
plate to water where watering tanks
are used.
Some minerals needed in small
amounts by animals and referred TO
as s'trace minerals" are cobalt, man
ganese and copper. From what IS
known it is felt that most of these
trace minerals are provided in suf-
ficient quantities through the nat
uraI feeds in Montana. Cobalt may
be the exception, as the addition of
cobalt to feeds has been beneficial
in a few cases where used. The
amount needed is very small.
Vitamin A is provided through the
green color portion of plants, and
animals store vitamin A in the body
during the lush growth of plants to
be used when this is not available.
Calves, having greater requirement
for growth than mature animals, do
not store as much as older animals
and might show deficiency symp-
toms sooner than mature animals.
Some indications of vitamin A de-
ficiency are watery eyes, night blind
ness, unthriftiness and dull rough
coats or general poor health. Cows
are likely to produce weak, imma-
ture calves or dead calves when
there is a pronounced vitanin A de-

FOR THE LAST two or three
months many requests have come
I'm for information ON livestock MI
tritional problems. Due to the ex-
trefnely dry summer in some parts of
the state the period when green
feed was available was shorter than
usual. Blood tests on cattle from
these areas have indicated a rela-
lively low phosphorus content and
lack of carotene or vitamin A.
Cattle from these areas have
largely been unthrifty, with de-
PRAYED appetites, and in some cases
have developed a stiffness in the
leg joints, hindering normal move
ment. These are all indications of
phosphorus deficiency but may also
indicate other deficiencies such as
vitamin A or some of the trace min
erals.
Minerals in themselves are not an
energy food, but are necessary in
proper assimilation of the food and
in the building of bone, tissues and
muscles in the animal. In Montana
most minerals are available in suf-
ficient quantities for normal growth
and production. Some must be sup
piled.
Salt is necessary in nearly all areas
and most stockmen supply it. Iodine
is necessary in most parts of the state
and is usually mixed with salt, either
commercially or by the stockman.
Phosphorus is the only other mineral
needed in quantity except in a few
known areas where some calcium
may be needed.
Phosphorus has been supplied

be deficient where sufficient good

It is definite that there is phos-

Square Dance
Hits SnlUT4ld

Twelve couples "dived for the
oyster" and promenaded to Pop
Goes the Weasel and other folk
songs in st. Peters Parish House
Thursday evening as the popular
craze of square dancing was in
augurated in Smyrna.
Andrew ]. Culver, of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, presented the
first in a series of four square
dance lessons at that time. He
briefly outlined the history of pres
ent day square dancing stating
that this was misnomer as square
dancing was originally done by two
people, the movement of the feet
forming a square. The popular
dance today is really a French
quadrille, Mr.. Culver said, which
has combined English, Danish and
Welsh dances and bits of a few 9TH
er folk dances. He also outlined the
various types of square dances
fundamental figures, and square
dancing etiquette" before beginning
the lesson.
The next session will be conduct
ed in the Parish House from 8 to
10 o'clock this evening. Mrs. Warn

Former Resident Tells
OF Life In Panama

Gooding said that at present she
and her husband lived in govern
ment-owned apartment house. Cot
tages and duplexes are also avail
able; however, residences are al
lotted according to length of SER
vice.
Food is more expensive in Bal
boa than here, but much of it can
be purchased from government
owned commissaries, she said, and
native vegetables are available
the year-round from the numerous
Chinese gardens.
Mrs. Gooding stressed the very
nice dress shops in Panama which
are run by Panamanians. ''They
are small but modern" She also
noted that there are no privately
owned businesses in the Canal
Zone. These stores are located in
the Republic of Panama.
She revealed that for amusement
and entertainment the folks in
Panama do the same things as
Smyrnians do, but Panama boasts
numerous night clubs which fea-
ture floor shows. Some of the shows
are put on by Statewide entertain
ers, but most are from Cuba and
Mexico.
Mrs. Gooding, who usually visits
Smyrna bi-annually, returned to
Panama yesterday via Eastern
Airlines to Miami and Pan-Ameri-
can Airways to the Canal Zone.
While vacationing here she visited
many former acquaintance and
friends and attended the Newman
Potter wedding.

Historic Atmosphere EnfhraHs
"BeIn1Onf Hail. Here on Dover Dd,

An atmosphere of the historic
eighteenth and nineteenth centur-
les enthralled Smyrna Saturday as
many visitors were in town on the
event of Dover Day to tour Bel
mont Hall, Greybox, and st. Peters
p. E. Church.
Standing majestically in the SUM-
shine, Belmont Hall, the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cunmins E. Speak
man, displayed a William and Mary
fireplace in the drawing room,
tall clock in the hall which has
stood in the house over century,
and two chairs in which Caesar
Rodney, Thomas Mexican and John
Cook often sat.
OF outstanding interest was the
unique collection of Dresden china
arrayed in the dining room accom-
panied by display of antique sill
yer fiatware. The master bedroom,
with fireplace, done in a powder
blue and furnished with a four
poster bed with organdy canopy,
hooked rugs, and colonial desk and
chest, also attracted much atten-
tion. Spring flowers, tulips, lilacs,
dogwood, iris, geraniums, added a
bright note to the house.
Assisting Mrs. Speakman as
hostesses were Mrs. Edwin Scovel
Haddonfield, N. j.; Mrs. John Col
Inns, of Moorestown, N. j.; Mrs.
Raoul Betancourt, Riverton, N. j.;
Mrs. Gerald Montaigne, Mrs. DON

Mrs. W. w. Speakman, Mrs. Edwin
Billeb, Mrs. Warner w. Price, Jr..
Mrs. Henry C Webb, and Mrs. Will
liam B. Owens, all of Smyrna.
'Greybox," the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. c. L. Harmonson, was
transformed into gay and color
full nineteenth century home as the
hostesses, attired in gowns of bril-
liant greens, yellows, fuschias and
prints, trimmed with lace and frills
and featuring hooped skirts and
bustles, mingled with the tourists.
OF outstanding interest at Grey
box was the third floor which is
part of the original house built be-
tween 1889 and 1910 by the Marin
family. A Star of Bethlehem quilt
made in 1920 by a member of the
Harmonson family, a Heavens
quilt from 1896 belonging to Mr..
and Mrs. Linden Doughten, and an
Album quilt dating back to 1840
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. e. w,
Goldsborough were displayed IN
the hallway Of this floor. OF special
interest were an antique spice
chest made of pine, copy of the
original tiny spice chests, and q
pine corner cupboard from the Eel
ton Academy and dating back to
1870. These, too, were in the hall
way.
The bedroom, attractive with Its
fine red and white plaid wallpaper
and priscilla curtains, featured an
old hatrack holding bonnet, dress,
umbrella, jacket and petticote OF
the colonial days. The antique
cradle held a doll garbed in Mr..
TIarmonson's baby dress and COW
cred with the baby quilt of the
nineteenth century. The quilt near
Ily matched the one on the canopied
bed.

award for typifying the American

At the presentation dinner, for
mer congresswoman Clare Boothe

WINNIPEG:
Wet but Undefeuted

Flood battered Winnipeg slowly
returns to normal. With nearly a
fifth of the city at one time under
water, the citizens raised banner
proclaiming they were "wet but
indicated" on the court house and
waited for the Red river to show
its first drop.
Before it came flood waters had
reached a record high for the CEN
fury. Some 100000 of Winnipeg's
100000 population we're forced to
evacuate and many of southern
Manitoba's towns were deserted.
When the river showed its first
drop, flood waters were about two
feet below the absolute peak at
which engineers figured nearly all
of Winnipeg would be waterlogged
and the whole population would
have to be evacuated.
Even with the river back in its
banks, however, observers said it
would be near the last of June be-
fore the city would be back to nor

BOSTON,:
Toste of Tradition

Climaxing its jubilee celebration,
staid old Boston let down its hair
by serving dinner to 10000 on the
Common and holding a barn dance
at the Garden.
Believed to be the largest meal
ever served to a seated group, the
guests got a taste of tradition by
consuming five tons of baked beans,
three tons of potato salad, and
$500 pounds of ham.
Earlier events of the jubilee we're
designed to call attention to the
cultural, business, industrial, and
recreational advantages of Boston
and New England.
Serving the "baked-bean supper"
and all the trimmings took less
than an hour, some kind of a rec
ord. The trimmings included 1000
loaves of brown bread, $4,000 in
dividual apple pies, $4,000 servings
of cheese, and $4,000 Parker house
rolls.
One thousand volunteer wait
resses, supervised by 40 home econ
omists and dieticians, served the
food.
