Supreme Court rules on two per cent beverages
The Montana Supreme Court, in a decision by Associate Justice Holloway, holds near beer with less than two per cent alcohol cannot be legally sold. The ruling affirms Silver Bow county’s district court, in a case brought by Centennial Brewing of Butte to test the enforcement act. The court clarifies that ardent spirits and spirituous liquors are the same category under the prohibition law, and that beverages with any intoxicating liquor content fall under the ban. It distinguishes beverage definitions from non beverage liquors and emphasizes that the term beverage refers to a drink for drinking.

Protect cattle in winter keep dry lot windbreak sheds
During winter beef steers should be kept in a dry lot with a windbreak from the north or with free access to an open shed. In the South weather alone may not justify open sheds but protecting pastures from trampling and saving feed and manure makes sheds worthwhile.
