In Zigler mountain near Warland Montana a spring, known as the barometric spring, rises about five inches several hours before storms. A forestry lookout on the 5,500 foot summit monitors the spring by telephone, using its level as a true forecast of incoming weather and forest-fire danger.
Montana farmers voiced strong approval of Congress repealing daylight saving, saying the clock shift disrupted farm work from haying to milking.

A study shows cows fed largely on silage produced butter fat at 13 cents a pound versus 22 cents for a heavy grain ration. The analysis converts 100 pounds of silage to the feed value of 20 pounds of grain, with a table linking grain costs to silage value per hundredweight. The result suggests silage should form the dairyman's foundation for cattle feeding.
