• . - THE EICALABA EAGLE I TREAtUIRE STATE FARM AND LOVESTOCK FAIR TO FEATURE Danger in Over -Feeding During PURER HERDS IS _SCHOOL EXHIBITS First Two Weeks of Lamb's Life; AIM OF BREEDERS Hay Th,ereafter Almost Necessity BeLLETIN ASKS AID OF SUPER- INTENDENTS AND TEACHERS. If Possible, Display Front Each Opunty Should Be AsseMbled at Some Central Point and Shipped Thence to Helena, Says May Tram- per, in Charge of Juvenile Exhibits. • Teachers, county school superin- tendents. and school children of the state will receive copies, of the first 191_7 advance - bulletin of the Mon- tana state . fair, which encourages all school people to prepare the 1917 schOol exhibits early to assure a good exhibit next fall, as the \state fair starts but a few weeks after the fall term opens. Miss May Trumper, the state su- perintendent of public instruction, is the new superintendent of school ex- hibits at the fair, which include ev- erything from elementary grade work to high school exhibits. Instructions Given. The bulletin gives the following in- Structions to superintendents and teachers: \It should be known early in the summer months just what.schools in • your county are going to contribute to the making of your county edu- cational exhibit at the state fair.- If possible all school exhibits should be assembled at some central . point in your couiity and shipped to the 'state fair from there. \Every exhibit intended for the di- vision of school exhibits at the Moir- tana state fair and exposition\should be finished -before the closing of the spring term of school. The essays must be submitted to the secretary of the fair on or before July 15, 1917. Kindly notify your county su- perintendents 'just what- your school will contribute to the state fair edu- cational exhibit from your county. Make your entries early as they should be in the office of the secre- tary of the fair by Saturday„Septem- ber 15.\ New Schools Lined Up. The hoard of directors of the Mon- tana state fair is in hearty sympathy with the school display and is ready to promote its growth as rapidly as the schools develop their exhibits. Al- ready a number of new schools have indicated their intention to exhibit in 1917. April 16 is the date set for the is- suance of the state fair catalogue.. Strange as it !nay seem a well-bal- anced family isn't one in which the husband and the wife are on opposite sidCs. . The first few weeks is, as a rule, the' most critical period in the life of any of ()lir farm animals. If -an animal is well nourished and cared for from birth, growth is rapid, the right start'is made and it will in all pcobability develop into a mature an- imal that will return a maximum profit to the oWner. On the other hand, if the animal is poorly hour- iehed in early lite, it becomes stunted and is 'handicapped for life. Anoth- er reason for paying particular at- tention to the feeding of young stocIF is the fact that gains in flesh made during the first few weeks or months' are made at less cost than in later life. The proper nourishment of the young lamb during the first two weeks of its life depends upon proper care and feeding of the ewe. One of the dangers_at this time is over -feed- ing. Excessive . feeding stimulates two great a milk flow, which causes digestive troubles in the lamb or caked udder in the ewe. Hay Need Not Ile Limited. A ewe will not eat too much hay and this need not be limited, but it is better to give_ no grain until' the lamb can take all the milk. Hay, clover or alfalfa is almost a necessity and the farmer who tries to rais'e ear- ly lambs without one of these hays had better go out of the sheep busi- ne - se. Timothy is bad for both ewe and Isnib. Roots or mangles in - ad- dition to hay make an excellent feed at this time, as they are very mild and cooling and furnish a needed succulence. After the lamb -is taking all the milk, the ewe should be well fed. About one and one-half pounds' of grain and three pounds of clover or alfalfa hay with two or three pounds of roots or silage makes a full feed. Thia ration should . 13 - • continued until the flock is turneif out to grass, as a good milk flow Is essential to the pro- duction of strong vigorous lambs. - Should Be Encouraged to Eat. When about 12 to 14 days old the lambs will begin nibbling at hay or grain. As gains may be made fit very little cost at this time. the Iambs should be encouraged to take all the hay and grain they will eat, besides the daily milk from their mothers. This may be done by means of a creep, which is a small pen construct- ed so as to admit the lambs but ex- clude the older sheep. It can be made of slats, spacing them seven or eight inches apart, according to the size of the ewes, and should he placed in a corner of the shelter where it will be easy for the lambs to enter.

Beware of Souring. Do not put. in too much feed at the start for at two weeks of age no Iamb will eat heartily and further- more bran and ground oats, once be- ing nosed over and dampened illy the lambs, often sours quickly and becomes distasteful to them. After the flock is turned out on good pasture the ewes will need no more hay or grain. However, the , lambs should receive their normal al:. lowapce of grain fed in the creep, as they will make - good gains when fed in addition to pasture. It is advisable to wean the lambs ' at the age of four and a halt months. The method simple; merely take the lambs away and do not let them see, the ewes for two or three days. Continue with thesame rations -after weaning, that is, two parts of ground or chopped oats and one part of wheat bran. Feed twice a day about one-half pound a day per lamb and keep a good supply of alfalfa or clov- er hay b,efore them at all times. H X -FOOLS FOLK OF WASHINGTON WOMAN RECEIVES AND ACCEPTS OVATION INTENDED FOR JEANNETTE RANKIN. Hundreds Crowd About. Woman Pos- ing aa :Miss Rankin, Who Acknowl- edges Greeting and Declines to Make Speech; Real Jeannette in New York City. Pandemonium followed the an- nouncement that Congresswoman - elect Jeannette Rankin was on the floor of the house of representatives the other day. Mrs. George W. Ed- munds, wife of Representative Ed- munds of Pennsylvania received and accepted •the thunderous ovation which was intended for the young suffragette from Montana. So well did Mrs. Edmunds play her role that hundreds of people shook hands with her, thinking they were greeting the first woman to be elected to congress. Representative Britten of Illinois, by prearrangement with Mrs. Ed- munds. perpetrated the hoax. Half an hour after Speaker Clark had ad- journed the session, Britten passed word to Representative Gallivan of Massachusetts that Miss Rankin was in the chamber. Gallivan sprang to the top of a table In front of the speaker's stand, announced that the first congresswoman was present, and named Representative Britten to escort her to the front. Ackvwledges Reception. Tremealkus applause followed as Mrs. Edmunds, who was in a mem- ber's seat, walked down toward the speaker. Acknowledging the greet- ing with a bow, she said In strong, clear tones: \My friend*, I prefer to make my first speech id the next house.\ Bowing again, she sat down. The scene which followed was flattering to Miss Itankin. From every part of the chamber members and their 'wives and children—the floor being open to families by thls time --rushed over to greet the \congresswoman.\ Without embarrassment Mrs. Ed- munds began shaking hands, with smiles and thanks. Soon a long line formed iir front of the speaker's stand, and the galleries turned their entire attention to the demonstration. Representative Meek- e'r of Missouri and his little crowd of singers in the middle of the floor at- tracted little attention until Mrs. Ed- munds slipped away. And while all this fuss and furore was being made about her, the real Jeannette was in New York City. Bounty , Law Interpreted.

Avernment con- tractor for the extermination of rab- bits. Australia has spent $27,000.- .000 for rabbit extermination, and has within its borders 98,000 miles of fence. One of West Australia's fences extends entirely across the continent. The date of South Aus- tralia has, since 1891, erected 29,148 miles of \vermin fences,\ as they are called, enough to encircle the globe and with the remnant build a double line fence along the southern boun- dary of the United States. , Of late years the rabbit has bean' repaying in pith for his keep—paying board, as it were. He goes to swell the total of food exports of the com- monwealth. Along the country roads ra.bbits may be seen hung on the felices awaiting the coming of the rabbit carts which -convey them to the packing houses, to be prepared 'for shipment as frozen meats and hides. Practically all are exported, and during 1913 frozen rabbit and hare to the value of $1,400,000, and to the value of 63.000,000 were sent from•ports of the colony. Relinquishment Asked. Requests have been made. of the state board of land 'commissioners to relinquish its preference right on 'three townships of Fergus county land. 'which will be Open to filing March 28. The Lewititown Chamber of CoMmerce has taken the matter Up on ,behalf of squatters who filed 'on the land when it was unsurveyed. Two years ago, the state requested the land to he surveyed and this gave it a preference right. FARM- AND T n LIVESTOCK Lomas Closed at - Your Farm .
