Green Crops for the Cows.

We trust that all of our farmers
that have dairy cows will at this time
Deg1n to consider the matter of green
crops to be fed when the summer
drouth is upon them. In fact, whether
there is to be a drouth or not, there
is always a time in the summer when
the pastures do not give the amount
of succulent feed needed for the pro-
duction of large quantities of milk.
Heat is one of the provisions of ma
ture for the ripening up of the crops
we grow. The heat of August is nee
esary for the drying up of the crops
sufhclently to lead many of our most
important plants to start in the forma-
ton of seeds. So we must always
count on that condition prevailing in
the middle of the summer The only
thing for the man that has mi1ch
cows to do is to SOW corn and other
green forage crops at this time of
year to supply this need for green
food in the summer time. 1t is best
to SOW such crop quite early in the
spring, SO that the plants may have
OBTAINED a good growth and some
maturity by the time they are wanted
Ior feeding. The old idea was that
young crop was the best for feeding,
as 1t was like green grass. But since
we nave come to know more about
such things we have found out that
plant to be at its best for feeding
must be somewhat mature. The corn
plant should be about ready to form
ears to be very good forage We have
seen IN the past corn sown late in the
spring, grown as thick almost as grass
and mown for the stock when it was
only two feet high, under the mis-
taken notion that it contained a great
deal OF nutriment and very digestible
nutriment at that Some farmers still
hang to the old practice, which they
nave Inherited from their ancestors.
Corn, sorghum, beets, turnips and
various rapidly growing grasses may
be sown for this summer use. We
would like to hear from our readers
'neir experiences in growing such |
green forage crops for the purpose of |
soiling their milch COWS in the sum-
Wer.

No Hurry to Pasture.

AT this time of year the dairyman
is looking at his pastures expectant-
ly for the first appearance of green
grass in enough quantity to allow him
to turn out his COWS with some
chance of them getting fair part
of their living The temptation to
turn out the cows early should be re-
sisted The old way was to turn them
out on the first of May, no matter
what the condition of the pasture OF
the earliness or lateness of the sea
son. Sometimes. the grass in some 10
calities is well advanced on the frs,
of May, but in others not. Whyshould
there be a uniform date, even. in
custom, fo- such a matter. 1t pays
to save the pastures for a week Oh
two when they are just beginning to
get start One or two weeks rest
at that time will give more satisfac-
tory returns in the way of pasturage
later on.

To Keep Ferns Fresh.

There is a new way to care for
Terms that has been found very sue
cessful. Once a week they must
nave Turkish bath. Put them in
the bathroom, shut the windows and
doors to exclude every particle of air.
Then fill the bathtub with scalding
water and allow the plants to steam
for three or four hours.
The room should be gradually
cooled before the plants are removed
to cooler atmosphere. This process
does away entirely with the laborious
work of washing and spraying the
leaves and is much more satisfactory.

Beautiful Silk Fabrics

Do you know what is meant by the
bloom of the grape? The fine, dusty
or powdery surface which shows the
clusters have not been brushed by
careless finger touches-this is appa-
rently the motive which the silk mer-
chants have borne in mind in design
ing the output of new silken fabrics
for use in the spring and summer of
1904. The once-shining surface of
some new silks and satins appears to
be delicately veiled or clouded This
does not affect the color tone, but only
the sheen. Delicately lovely are these
clouded silks. In fact, the "clouding"
makes available for street or carriage
dress many faint tints which would
be too pronounced if they were left
in the first shining state. Shadowed
coin spots appear effectively on the

About Pheasants.

In the care of pheasants there are
no hard rules beyond those common
sense dictates. Circumstances vary
SO greatly as to climate and locality
that what might be true of one local
lty would not be true of another
one thing is certain and that is this.
the English or Mongolian pheasants
nave come to stay. Their introduc-
ton and propagation have long since
passed the experimental stage Both
the above named birds are strictly a
woodland bird and will fly to a wood
or coppes as soon as scared, but their
feeding grounds are usually the open
arid fields where grain and bugs can
be found Don't think for a moment
that pheasants will stay where they
are reared; they may do it some
times, but at other times will go miles
away, much depends on the location
IL feed and water is to be found in
abundance, and the birds have a
thicket or hiding place to go to when
scared they will most likely stay
where they were liberated or raised.
One OF the best things to keep your
pheasants at home is to plant a
mixed patch of broom corn and sor-
ghum; this will make good hiding
place and at the same time an abund-
ance of the most excellent food during
the winter months F. ]. Wilson

Vaclav Pulec, the Real Estate Man,

Atlantic S~eaboard.
SETTLERS LOOKING THIS WAY

viii Come to Fergus County.

Vaclav Pulec, the local real estate
man, returned Friday from a trip
through the eastern states. He left
Lewistown about the middle of De.
cember and went as far eastward as
New York, in which city he spent
about three weeks. He said his trip
was marred by the extreme weather
which he struck almost every place
he went. One object of his trip was
to talk up the agricultural possibili-
ties of the Judith Basin to his friends
in the middle states and he expresses
a belief that of the thousands OF set
tiers who are coming to Montana this
year. a large number will come over
into this county on the lookout for
ranches. In speaking of the trip Mr..
Pulec said:
MY visit to New York was spoiled
by the intensely cold weather. 1t was
only 4 degrees below zero but at that
II was the coolest weather | ever ex-
perienced. Thirty below zero wealth
err in Montana could notcompare with
IL. In Chicago and the middle state
cities | also encountered storms and
billiards. to which the average Mon
tana storm would be but a gentle
zephyr. | was glad to get back on
that account and am fully of the opin-
ion that the winters of Montana, and
especially of this section of it, are
better. on an average. than that of
any OF the northern states.
THE principal object of my visit
east was to interest farmers of that
part of the country in Montana and
personally tell them of the magnif-
cent agricultural possibilities of Fer
gus county. | talked with a large
number in Nebraska especially, and
believe that we shall see a number
Of them as soon as winter breaks.
This. ! think will be a banner year
for immigration into Montana and I
am also fully assured that Fergus
county will get a generous number of
the new settlers. Many who talked
to me of coming have money enough
to purchase good ranches and i'm
prove them. They are shrewd bust
ness men and will readily appreciate
a good bargain in ranch lands such
as can be secured in this county"

gage in the real estate business.

Russia May Clash With United States

st. Petersburg. Feb. 1S.-The infor.
nation contained in press dispatches
from Washington that Secretary Hay
rad announced the negotiations In
connection with his note to the pow
ers on the subject of the integrity OF
China to be closed. without awaiting
Russia's formal response. came as a
surprise to official circles here. An
official of the foreign office. with
whom the representative of the Asso-
ciated Press talked on this matter.
appeared to be rather nonplussed at
this conclusion to the American prop
o%sition. but he displayed nj Irritation
and said:
III this Is true IL has changed the
Russian program. Not to await Rus
sia's reply might. however, offend
Russian susceptibilities and tend still
further to increase the feeling already
existing here in certain quarters that
the United states is not friendly to
Russia.
In this connection there Is no doubt
the government feels somewhat en-
barrassed by the desire OF the United
States to install consuls in the open
ports OF Manchuria Immediately. The
government does not like to be placed
in the position of putting obstacles in
the way. but the entire territory Is
o under military control, and these
posts would be under the sphere OF
the war operations. Furthermore.
trade is at a standstill at present and
the authorities can not comprehend
why Washington should press this
matter now. None Of the other pow
ers is seeking to take immediate adj.
vantage of the privileges accorded by
the Japanese treaties.
"As far as concerns Port Dalny, TO
which place an American commercial
agent has been appointed. the situa.
ton is wen worse, as il Is not improb'
able that the military authorities will
soon require all foreigners to leave
there. The Russian reply { o Secre.
