The price tag on the school

pointed out.

gested observation-disclosures the

high school building probably
can't be spared.
On proposed consolidation Of
the city's vocational schools in

this move could save the city

elementary SCHOOLS ana 50 aQQl-
tons to existing buildings, and
Ia $l.5-million revamping of the
present Armstrong High School
into a new occupational-trainine
school.
FiVe-Year Program
DR.. Corning told board mem.
bers the new building program
which he proposed to extenC
over five years but which &C.
tually would take a year or two
longer to complete, is necessary
because Of delays in school con-
struction under the Districts
Public Works Program.
He also noted new schoo
housing needs that have ariser
since congressional approval o.
the works program two year!
ago. Part of these needs have
resulted from population shifts
and part from a sharp increase
in the birth rate, he said.
Another factor, he said, is the
plan to reduce class sizes from
a standard of 36 to a new aver
age of 80 in the elementary
schools. Part of this change al
ready has taken effect.
In addition. the superintend-
ent pointed out that many exist
ing school buildings are in an
incomplete state, never having
been provided with auditoriumS
gyms, Fairgrounds and Other
facilities which are standard
in the city's school system.
DR.. Corning proposed that au.
thority be sought to borrow
funds from either the Federal
Government or the public
presumably through a bono
issue. Such authority would re-
quire action by Congress, as vel
as by the District Commissioner:
and the Federal Budget Bureau
he noted.
Borrowing Approved
The school board already has
approved the borrowing proposal
in principle. but without any
price tag.
Il don't know of another
city that does its school build
ing on a pay-as-you-go basis.
DR.. Corning told board men,

He said 1t is mot reasonable
to expect the taxpayers Of today
to bear the entire burden fol

over the years or To- improve
ments which will exist for the
next so or more years"

Little Trouble
At Pierce Mill
By JACK JONAS

Gristmills being what they
are, there's a need to have a
cat or two around to take care
of the rodent population.
But cats being what they
are, a cat or two can soon
turn into too many cats.
That's what has happened
out at Pierce Mill, the Interior
Departments gristmill in
Rock Creek Park.
The people out there put
great store by their official
cat--a tiger striped female of
the variety known in some
impolite circles as alley cat.
There's a special hole in the
plank door at front, so she
can come and go as she
pleases. Holes inside the mill
let her go from room to room
in her predatory pursuits.
And, just to insure that the
official cat doesn't get too
lonesome, one from her first
litter was kept around to keep
her company.
But now there are five more
cats at Pierce Mill, and that's
five cats too many. They're
the official cats second litter.
They don't look at all like
mama. Two are black, a
couple are light buff, and the
other is a sort of maltese.
They're about six weeks old
now, and the man at the mill
said, with desperation in his
voice: They're eating me out
of house and home"
If anybody's looking for
kittens with an honest-to-
goodness Government back
ground, the man at the mill
said he'd be more than happy
to give them away.

''free riders" living off the labors Of
the working species. The job of iden-
tifying, classifying and determining the
exact role of each of these many va
rieties is only well started by research
workers.
1t may lead to many drastic changes
in the feeding and management Of the
future. Antibiotics (of which there are
now several thousand known kinds)
may be used to control the free riders
and other non-working species in order
to permit the most efficient kinds to
''crack" the grass to the fullest extent.
Need More Than Grass
While grass forms the major diet of
the bacteria of the rumen, they also re-
quire some other feeds if they are to
do truly efficient job and grow and
multiply at the most rapid rate pos
sible. 1t has only been in the relatively
recent past that man actually dis
covered the real function of the rumen
in the digestion cycle. From this UNI
derstanding, feeding the cow has now
been changed to feeding the rumen"
and experimental work, based on this
new approach to cattle nutrition, is
pushing ahead rapidly.
The requirements of poultry and hogs
have been much more closely defined
than those of ruminants, but with re-
search now headed in what appears to
be the right direction-that through the
rumen inhabitants-new feeding meth
DDS and materials can be expected at
an ever-increasing rate.
Water, the basic essential of all life,
is probably the most universally mis-
understood rumen nutrient. Because of
the vital role it plays, both on the
range and in the feedlot, it cries for
emphasis in any discussion Of grass
utilization. Water is not only food,
but it is the medium in which bacteria
must live in the rumen.
Proper Temperature
The rumen heterogeneous can live
grow and reproduce only in the pres
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-08-01

ence of water and their rate of growth
and reproduction is determined by the
temperature of that water. When the
temperature of their watery home is
too high or too low, the bacteria slow
up materially and grass digestion suf-
fers accordingly When a COW drinks
a large amount of ice-cold water, bac-
terial action may completely stop for
several hours.
For all practical purposes, this means
that the cows digestion stops for the
lures should be kept at As degrees if
digestion is to remain continuous at
all times. Attention to this one detail
could save stockmen many of their
winter headaches.
To date, ruminant feeding has de-
veloped largely by trial and error
methods Feeds like molasses were
found to stimulate appetite. Later, it
was found that molasses really slim
ulated the growth of fiber breaking bac-
terra in the rumen and thus made it
possible for the COW to digest more
and consequently eat more.
Committing Suicide
Lignin, which is contained in all ma
ture grasses, has been demonstrated to
depress or kill off bacterial growth
when it is broken down to simpler COM
pounds AS rumen bacteria will break
lignin into these compounds, they are,
in effect. committing suicide or murder
ing fellow workers.
A chemist was asked what compound
would combine chemically with the
lignin breakdown products to form a
material which would not harm the
bacteria The answer came as a sur
prise, "sugars-like those in molasses" [!
Here, then, was further answer to the
beneficial effects observed from mo-
lasses feeding.
In the '3O's we thought cattle ate our
russian thistle hay because they liked
the taste of the molasses we put on it.
Now we find that nolasses really served
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-08-01

MONTANA'S NUMBER one product
of the soil is grass. Through beef cattle,
this grass is converted to food for the
American dinner table.
Rainfall is the major factor determin-
ing how much grass will be produced
each year and man has little control as
yet over this phase of nature. Fertiliza-
ton, better grass varieties and better
management and grazing practices can
help to increase the grass raised on
each acre, but moisture remains the
chief limiting agent.
How, then, can we put more of Mon
tana's grass on the dinner table? The
answer lies in the professor of this
grass-beef cattle. Each ton of grass
grown on Montana ranges produces
pitifully few pounds of beef. Much OF
this store of nutrients must be used
by the animal for heat and energy to
move about and Craze, but much OF
these nutrients is wasted
Microscopic Helpers
Unaided by other forms Of life, COW
would soon starve on a diet of grass.
Fortunately, she has in her vast fer
menting vat, her paunch or rumen,
billions of living, microscopic helpers
who do much of the work of grass di-
gestion for her. These tiny assistants
attack the coarse, fibrouS feed which
the COW sends down to them and use it
for their own growth and tremendously
rapid reproduction.
The COW, in turn, kills and digests
these bacteria, getting from them the
more purified food and vitaminS which
they have produced. Thus we might
say that bacteria eat the grass, the COW
eats the bacteria and mankind eats the
COW. While somewhat over-simplified
this sequence is one which all stockmen
should understand.
In each rumen there are thousands Of
kinds or varieties of bacteria and other
heterogeneous. Some of them have
specific work to do in the digestion
process, while others are undoubtedly

more noble purpose. 1t made this
poorest of hay more digestible.
Profitable Returns
The feed manufacturer, too, has often
been Shooting in the dark on cattle
nutrition. By combining many of the
ingredients known to stimulate zap
petite" with those known or thought
to be lacking in range grasses, he has
come up with feeds which can return
to the rancher for each dollar spent
for that feed as much as or more than
can be gained from feed dollars spent
for any other class of livestock or
poultry.
Yes, today'S quality range feeds, sup
plementing grass or hay, mean better
grass utilization, more pounds of beef
and healthier cows and calves for each
pound fed. The day of range feeds
being used only to meet weather emer-
gencies is rapidly drawing to a close
What StilbeStrol did in the feed lot may
soon be repeated on the range by some
other similarly spectacular discovery.
Feed Bacteria
AS time goes on, we will see more and
more Montana grass, processed into
beef, on the national food menu. This
grass is loaded with food values yet I'M
touched. It remains only for the mi
croScopic life of the rumen to unlock
these values and help convert them to
beef. Some of the answers to the
rumen secrets are known today, await
ing widespread understanding and
practical application.
AS knowledge increases, we may ex-
pect to convert this same grass into
twice or three times as much beef as
we are making from it today. AS in all
fields of human endeavor, we must go
forward to produce more from our
material and our labor. The Montana
rancher cannot be an exception He
must put more grass on the American
dinner table. Adequately supplement-
ing this grass to feed the bacteria that
feed the COW, he can do it,
