FIRE AT COLLEGE.
Workshop Damaged to the Extent Of
About $4,000.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

BoZeman, Feb. 11.--A fire which start
ed in the waste room of the workshop
OF the Agricultural college at o'clock
last night, probably caused by spontan-
eous combustion, damaged the workshop
to the extent of about $4,000 before the
flames were checked.
The fact that comparatively slight
damage was done Is due solely to the
efforts of VIII Mates, engineer, and Mr..
Fuller of the experiment station, who
hastened to the scene and labored hero
ically to keep the fire under partial con-
troll until the city department arrived.

You needn't laugh. There really is
such profession, and 1t is new, and

New York has established train
ing school for charity workers, and it
Is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service
at visiting under proper lectures upon
the different phases of the leadership,

1t is quite worth entering from finan-
cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia is
proverbially conservative, and yet we
pay the young woman at the head of
our organizing charities the salary Of
$4,000, and she can greatly supplement
1t by lecturing and literary work upon
the subject Of her profession.

Spraying half done is labor lost. The
other half means possibly little more

Dor. A force pump in barrel, which

Cheap salt in butter is an expensive
economy.
A COW that will not eat abunds at.y
will not produce literally.
The less water there is in butter the
fewer odors it will take up.
Milk set to cool where odors exist,
absofbs such odors very readily.
II you have a COW that keeps fat
and sleek on little feed, keep her he.fer
calf.
Butter Is bitter because of Impure
foods or from holding the cream too
long.
Cows will give more milk and of
better quality If fed and MIXED regu.
larry.
One Important item in building up a
reputation for butter is uniformity IN
the quality.
Butter underworked will be striped:
overworked, it will have the appear
ance of lard.
A loss of appetite and droopinp
head are among the first symptoms of
COW sickness.
With the dairy cow there should al
ways be due proportion of concen-
trated and bulky food.
Do not put the calves on skim milk
too soon. Give them the rick milk
for ten days or two weeks.
The heifer calf does not need fatten.
ing food, but plenty Of bone and mus.
clc-forming food should be supplied.
The advantage in using the separa.
tor is that the butter fat is all pro.
cured, the cream churns better and
gives n greater percentage of butter.
the product is better and more uni
form and sells for better price in
market, while the skinned milk can
be used to much better advantage
In almost every way.
A COW Is machine for reducing
feed to milk. She consumes the raw
material, eliminates the waste matter
and furnishes finished product. Cows
differ in their capacity TO consume food
and in their power to produce milk.
both as regards quality and quantity,
To be profitable dairy COW she must
convert her surplus food into rich milk
rather than fat or flesh. A good dairy
COW rarely gets fat while producing
milk, no matter how well fed.

Lice on Cattle.

Many cows come out of winter quar-.
tiers Infested with lice. There is no
excuse for this state of affairs which
Is largely due to carelessness on the
part of the owner of the cattle. If the
poultry are allowed to roost in the
barns the cattle are sure to become
infested with poultry lice and even
when poultry are not permitted in the
barns unless the stalls are kept clean
and ventilation is supplied there is al.
most always plague of cattle lice.
Before the cattle are turned out to
pasture they ought to be put in good
condition, especially il their owner Is
inclined to cut off the grain ration as
soon us spring comes. If the cattle
are afflicted with lice try the old-time
remedy of washing the back and sides
Of the animals with strong de,.oction
of white oak bark. The bark is boiled
in water until the decoction is of the
desired strength. After supplying this
remedy clean up the stables and give
the COWS a chance to regain theiI
vigor.

common in sections where these two
small fruits are grown with the great

the rows of plants, is an excellent one,
provided the blowing is not too deep.

Profits In strnwberrx arowinr.

Quite In line with the more approved
methods of culture is the idea that to
get the best results from the straw.
berry plantation some care must be
given to the preparation of the ground
long before the plants are to be set. The
old plan is to set the plants on any
land they happen to have no immediate
use for, and pick the fruit the first
season. The best land for strawberries
Is thar which has been in sod, and to
prepare such land 1t should be planted
to some hoed crop like corn for two
years before strawberry plants are set.
This Is necessary in order to rid the soil
of the white grub, the greatest enemy
of the strawberry plant.

A Feeder,s Practical Way,


In general, early feeding is the most
profitable. The quicker you can mature

In the older days of farming such a
thing as farmer patronizlng butch
er was unheard Of. The butcher was
the buyer and not the seller, and sim
liar relations existed, to a less extent,
between the farmer and the dealer in
stock foods. There is no good excuse
for farmers placing themselves in po-
sition where they must buy all or most
Of their meat. If the average farm is
rightly handled it should supply It's
owner with most or all Of the meat for
the family, all of the fruit and vegeta-
bles, eggs, poultry and butter. 1t should
also supply most Of the food needed for
the stock. Farming in this way, with
certain crops which one knows best
how to grow in order to obtain the cash
necessary for incidental expenses, car
rles on the work in way that is prof
table.
