NEVER. III the history of agriculture iE
Montana has q season opened with brighter
pro spects to rhe farmer. We have delight
ful growing weather, ard no grasshoppers
10 NOW the young grain as soon as it peeps
shove the ground the frequent showers
promise WE'LL and the crops win get good
start before there is necessity for irIigatn@.
Ihe market for the coming tall also prom
ises to be good. Besides lively demand in
our mining camps, which now are becoming
mere brisk than usual, there will be a
large demand from the north, which our
farmers may reasonably expect to supply.
Last year this country was supplied from
t,le States, but we think that we can furnish
grain and flour this season at such rate as
will make the speeIlutor, who ships from
the States, weaken. There is also a good
prospect sor good demand on the Yellow
stone: the building Of the new posts, and
the supplies tor troops operating in that
quarter, will make u marked difference in
the consumption Of this years crops, pro-
yided sufficient quantity is raised to war
rant reasonable prices.
But we should not calculate too far ahead.
We already begin to hear gruAhImg about
the low prices expected to be realized the
coming fall. Now, we cannot see but what
large crop will prove vastly beneficial to
the country. Nota 4 granary in the whole
Territory but what is in q manner empty,
and prices are as high as the country will
stand-a greater degree of prosperity would
be enjoyed with larger supply and lower
prices. In view of these facts we would re-
peat again that farmers should use every
exertion to produce large crops. We do not
mean by this that they should hire all the
help they can get, at the present high wages,
but we do say that every farmer should do
all he can within his own family. There is
no economy in idling away ones time and
putting in only q few acres, simply because
the season gives promise of an abundant
harvest.

PRESERVING EGGS.

A writer in the English Mechanic says:
''in the year 1912, preserved eggs 50 per-
fectly that, after a lapse OF six months they
were mistaken, when brought to the table,
for fresh laid eggs, and believe they would
have kept equally good for twelve months.
My mode OF preservation was to yarnish the
eggs as soon after they were laid as possible
with Il thin copal yarnish, taking care that
the whole of the shell was covered with the
yarnish. I subsequently found that by
painting the eggs with fresh albumen, beat
Ell I'D with a little salt, they were preserved
equally well, and for as long period. Af-
ter vanishing or painting with alhumen,
lay the eggs upon rough blotting-paper, as
| found that, when allowed to rest until dry
upon a plate or on the table, the albumen
stuck so fast to the table Or plate as to take
chip out of the shell. This is entirely OBJ
waited by the use of blotting-paper. | pack
the eggs III boxes of dry bran.

Pour 2 quarts Of boiling water onto /,
pound of unslaclled lime, in an iron kettle.
Put pounds Of washing soda into 4 quarts
OF boiling water; add this to the lime: boil
for five minutes. Remove from the stove.
and when settled pour the clear part into a
Ja@and cork tightly. Use / pint of this
mixture to s gallons OF water and pint Of
soap. Soak the clothes in warm water
over night; Wring eat, soap the soilel

taining the hot water, soap, and fluid; Joi1
tor 10 or Is minutes (no longer). Take
them out and examine, rubbing any spots
that may not be quite clear ;; rinse through
2waters and then blue. For the second boil
ing add a little more water. fluid. and soap
to that left in tie boiler, being careful to
prese,pe the above proportion, as too great
strength would injure the clothes. The
same water will answer for flannels, and
will make them soft and white, and used
prudently improves dark calico. Clothes
washed in this manner will last quite as long
as if rubbed to pieces on board. and half
the labor of washing is done away with, as
they will require little more than a thorough
rinsing after being boiled. This fluid is in
valuable for scrubbng stone steps and white
wood, but must not be used OH PAINT.

the treatment OF rats an uncovered can of
squirrel poison. She had gorged herself
with the wheat, and when discovered late in
the evening was in spasms. Thinking she
was past recovery, we placed her under
coop for final disposition in the morning.
The next morning, however, we found her
alive, but with distended crop. I suggested
that the crop should be cut open and the
Wleat'extracted, which was done by remoy-
ING few feathers, an incision made about
one inch i'll length, and carefully extracting

through the opening, the wound sewed I'D.
and then she was placed in a coop, where
for two days she received nothing but water,
afterwards for q week she was fed with

turned out completely cured, and is now
laying again.

we extracted the contents, as above, | think
we should have saved them.

BLACK CoCHTNs.

Among the least known but most valuable
and handsome of the Asiatic breeds Of poul-
try, may be classed the Black Cochins. We
now think the finest Asatic fowl we ever
saw was a magnificent cock Of this variety,
one year old, whose plumage was most CLOS
sy and beautiful, his carriage grand, SYM
mctrical and faullless, pride unbounded,
while his rich red comb and wattles formed
a most pleasing contrast to his ebony hue.
The Black Cochins,. when well fed, are
very hardy, round andplump in build, quite

domestic in habits, and good average layers.

CARE Or POULTRY

WIN grassy run Tor fowls, the grain
ieeu may be reduced somewhat, Whatever
grain is fed may be given iii the morning
and at night thus obliging the hens to for
age in the middle of the day for themselves.
Some stimulating conaiment, such as Aliens
Imperial Egg Food, will improve the health
and prevent disease. Ducks should be shut
up IN the morning until they have laid, as
they are very careless about their eggs.
Geese may be set now, and should not be
disturbed on their nests. The less fnssinre
there is over sitting fowls the better. Keep
water and food near the nests. Young fowls
of whatever kind need little feed often, but
overfeedng is unwhoesomc.

NEW JAPANESE RADIsH.

M. lille, q seed merchant of Lyons, has
sent out a new Japanese radish, called the
Daicon, Il plant cultivated in all parts of
Japan. Its roots often reach nearly yard
in length and nearly one foot in diameter
The color is milky white, tinged with yei-
low. Its very thin skin is easily removed,
and the compact, juicy flesh has the delicate
flavor OF our best small radishes. III. Jean
Sisley, also Of Lyons, speaks of another va
riety called the Satsunla radish not yet in
troduced. In Japan they are prepared for
for the table i'll various ways-baked, sliced
very thin, in salads, or preserved in salt.
MILLIONS Of young grasshoppers are re-
ported in every section of Dallas county,
Texas.
THE recent severe weather in Minnesota
has, it is thought, damaged the grasshopper
crop one-half.
AND now comes the Canada Farmer, most
excellent authority on most subjects, and de-
clares that the so-called Canada thistIes were
imported into the Dominion from the States.
Of course it objects to the name.
