THE PLANETS
IN FEBRUARY

The night skies of winter often
offer an inspiring and thought
provoking display to those who
take the time to study the skies.
Five planets will be visible in
February, and any reader who
wishes to look for them will be
able to see them on a clear
night without an optical aid. AS
you may know, the planets of
the solar system are Mercury,
Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and
Pluto.
Neptune, Uranus and Pluto r
too faint to be seen with the
naked eye, although Uranus and
Neptune a be een with good
field glasses. Pluto is only visi-
BILE through the use of a tele-
scope.
Therefore, of the nine planets
of the solar system, we on earth
can see five of them. For the
first few days of February,
Mercury is to be visible just be-
fore sunrise. By the middle of
the month, it will disappear from
view.
Venus will be found in the
constellation of Sagittarius, and
will not be visible in the month
Of February. Mars will be found

Selecting Twin Lambs
For Replacement Purposes

With lambing time near for
many farm flocks, flock OWNERS
will find it worthwhile to mark
the twin eve lambs and save
them for replacement purposes
next fall.
Since twin lambs have a fair
ly good chance of producing
twins, they offer possibilities from
the income standpoint that are
worth considering.
For example, in studies made
by the Montana Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station there was a
difference of SO in gross income
per eve in favor of the eve with
twin lambs. AT the time of the
study the value of twins was
figured at 10 cents per pound,
making a gross income of $27
from the ewes with twins. Singles
were valued at % cents per
pound, making a gross income
of $18 from a eve with a single
lamb.
In many instances growers
will sort out the twin eve lambs
for market because they are
small. Yet in its studies the ex-
pertinent station found that while
singles weigh more at weaving
time, singles and twins weighed
about the same at shearing time
the following summer. This in
dictated that although twin lambs
may be small at weaving time
it does not necessarily follow
that they will be small when
full grown.
Sorting out the twin lambs
and selling them is to select
away from the twinning charac-
teristics and the possibilities for
flock income.

Cumberland National Forest


Some of the loveliest wild Sec
tons of the Cumberland National
Forest in Kentucky were preserv-
ed recently by IN admirable rul-
ing of Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra T. Benson, upholding the
decision of the U. S. Forest Ser
vice regional forester.
The Forest Service acquired
this portion of the Cumberland
Forest in 1887 from the Stearns
Coal and Lumber Co. However,
the company retained the mineral
rights of the area, and in 1854
applied to the regional forester
for permission to stripmine for
coal.
This section of the forest along
the Big South Fork River, which
drains into Lake Cumberland, is
very rugged. The river valleys
are narrow, and their steep slopes
are covered with large oaks,
naples, hickories and gum trees.
Dogwood and redbud bloom
against this dark background in
early spring. Foxes and raccoons
move swiftly and quietly along
their trails, while impertinent
squirrels scold overhead.
The coal appears here as out
groupings of one or more seams
between the creek bottoms and
the tops of nearby slopes. Under
these circumstances, strip mining
is done by rim cutting, which is
very destructive to the surface,
since the earth above the coal
seam is ripped off and dumped
over the side of the slope. This
results in a spoil bank on the
side OF the slope below the seam
being mined which is impractical
retrieve and use as fill for
he open cuts when the mining is
completed.
The regional forester took all
his into account when he denied

well to the West at sunset.
Jupiter rises about nine o'clock
at night and will begin a west
ward motion during the month.
Saturn will probably be seen at
about one A. M. and remains in
Ophiuchus, near Antares. 1t will
remain in this constellation all
year, slowly moving around the
sun.
For those interested in celestial
phenomena, a meteor shower will
be observed between February
9Th and 10th from the Northwest
about midnight. See if you can
locate these planets, and watch
for the meteor shower.
If you are interested in celes-
tial events, or become interested,
you will find it a wonderful hob
oy, providing much stimulation
and food for thought.

ST. VALENTINES DAY 1857

Although experts do not agree
on the origin of St. Valentines
Day, it is generally accepted that
the day is the day for lovers.
Chaucer believed that February
14th was the day the birds chose
their mates. Whether Chaucer was
right or not, history shows that
various races set great store by
February l4th as the day for
human lovers, a choice of mates,
and SO on
1t is possible that st. Valen-
tines Day originated in England
from a combination of two other
observances. Tie Norman word
for a lady's man was "Galentine."
Since the Normans pronounced a
e" as a "v", the word "Valen-
tine" could easily have been COM
bined with the Chaucer theory of
the mating of the birds to pro-
duce Valentines Day. 1t is pos
sible that the addition of the
Saint" stems from Roman days.
There were three ST. Valentines,
all of them associated with Feb
ruary 14th in Ancient Rome.
AS far as 1857 is concerned, st.

DITORIALL
LINCOLN

One hundred forty-Six years
ago this month, Abraham Lincoln
was born in Hardin County, KY.
Lincoln's life has come to be the
symbol of the American way of
life.
From the log cabin in which
he was born to the White House,
where his life ended, Lincoln
reflected the possibilities for the
poor youth in the American sys-
tenn of government.
But, contrary to the belief of
many, Lincoln was an outstand-
ing citizen and leader in his COM
munity long before he was elect
ed President Of the United States
He was a captain of a company
Of volunteers in the Black Hawk
Indian War. He was elected to
the State Legislature when he
was 25 years old.
He opened a law office at the
age of thirty. He was elected to
Congress when he was 81. Thrice
he was a presidential elector in
Illinois. In 1858. he was nominat-
ed for the United States Senate
by the Republicans of Illinois. In
1860, he vas nominated and
elected president of the United
States.
Lincoln's patience and gentle
manner enabled him to guide the
country through a disastrous war
in 1861-65. He was immovable on
matters of principle and had he
not been assassinated, the South
would have Jared far better in
the brutal terror of the Recon
struction Days than it did.
AS a national figure, no Amer
lean, other than George Wash
ington and possibly Thomas JEFF
ferson, ranks with Lincoln. One
of the fine tributes paid to his
memory is the pilgrimage TO the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington,
D. c., of many Americans, who
silently read his expressions on
the freedom and dignity of man.

Cattle Grub Control

Cattle. Grub Control
If you noticed your cattle run
ming like crazy" with their tail:
in the air last summer chances
are likely they are infested with
grubs, right now. The heel fly,
which deals out this misery to
cattle in the summer months,
lays its eggs on the lower part
of the animal. The eggs hatch
into young grubs which find their
way to the back of the animal
through the body. Right now, in
February, the grubs are in the
back and control measures to
kill them should take place now.
The treatment which is most
effective is to mix one pound of
cube or devils root powder, $50
rotenone) and five quarts of
water and then sprinkle this
mixture over the animals back
and work it into the grub holes
with a stiff brush. This kills 80
to 1000 of the grubs in the back
at the time of the treatment.
For large herds spraying is
much more practical but not
quite as effective. A good spray
mix is 100 gallons water, 7h
pounds of cube or devils powder
$50 rotenone) and l pound of
Tide or Dreft. Use only powdered
rotenone, no liquids have given
satisfactory results. A high pres
sure spray is needed. Spray the
animals back and then work the
back with a garden hoe and spray
again. For more complete details
refer to Extension Circular 222
Cattle Grubs and Their Control"
available at the Extension Office.

Seed Testing
Spring seeding time is several
months away, but unless human
nature performs differently than
usual this year, we can almost bet
that the few weeks prior to seed
ing will see the grain laboratory
at Montana State College swamp
ed with samples to be tested. 1t
takes a certain length of time
to run a test and it can't be
hurried. So when the last minute
rush occurs it's a cinch someone's
report is going to be late.
This year, if you have seed to
be tested, why not get your
samples in early and avoid the
rush. Then your seed will be
ready for sale when buyers be-
gin to look around.
The laboratory makes four
kinds of tests so it's important to
specify what tests you want when
you send your sample. A purity
and termination test should be
made on all seed that is to be
planted or offered for sale. In
fact, the Montana seed law re-
quires that seed to be offered
for sale must be tested and lab
eled. Usually you will want a
complete test - that is, a test
for purity and termination.
The laboratory also makes two
eA'NA HAAioo VI tCSlS OQt lIlty dI0 |
for an entirely different purpose.
One is a test for grade and the
ether is a test for protein. These
tests are usually made only on
commercial grain samples.
So it's important to specify just
what tests you want. When the
laboratory gets a sample of
wheat, for example, there is no
way Of knowing what kind of
est is wanted unless instructions
accompany the sample.
Then one point - be sure to
END your sample in a strong
,ontainer. It's not unusual for
he laboratory to receive samples
hat have broken open in transit
md the only thing that can be
lone is write for a new sample.

Office.

WEATHER RULES


WEATHER RULES
OF all the subjects which in
terest the average individual, the
weather is the most universal
and one with which practically
everyone is concerned.
1t is surprising, however, how
little most people know about
the subject. If you will take
the time to study for just a few
minutes, you will learn some
simple rules which will be very
valuable in predicting the wealth
err. If you test the knowledge of
your friends, in this connection,
you will find that few of them
know many of these simple rules.
All you need to apply these
rules is a barometer and a wind
vane, which will tell you the di-
rection the wind is blowing. Here
they are, and you might remem-
Der them for use at a later date:
If you have a high and steady
barometer, and the wind is COM
ing from the Southwest or the
Northwest, the weather will prob
ably be fair and there will be lit
tie temperature change for the
next day or SO.
If your barometer is high and
falling rapidly, and the wind is
from the South or Southeast, you
will probably have increasing
wind and rain within from IL
to "a hours.
This is true, usually, if the
barometer is falling slowly, I'M
der the same conditions.
If you have a high barometer,
which is falling rapidly, and the
wind is between the Southeast
and the Northeast, the wind will
increase and rhin will come
within twelve hours, in most
cases.
If you have a low barometer,
is rising slowly, and the
wind is from the South to the
Southwest, you will soon have
clearing weather and it will be
clear for several days.
If you have a low barometer
and it is falling rapidly, with
he wind from the South to the
East, you Will experience severe
weather, very soon, after which
I will clear and be cooler in
wenty-four hours.
If you have a low barometer,
which is rising rapidly, and the
Wind is from the West, it means

older.
There are many other weather
uleS which you can learn If
