However good any pasture may be,
it is not what it should be unless it
contains some corner in which the

fills the bill. If these are lacking a

A recent issue Of a leading dairy pa
per, replying to an inquiry as to wheth.
er it would pay the questioner to buy
a seed corr grader, stated that he
doubted it unless corn raising was 60
ing to be done on a large scale. This
suggestion has just about as much
to commend it as would a recommen-
dalton from a corn farmer that it
wouldn't be worth while to get a Bah
colchester unless a fellow had more
than a dozen cows. 1t is just as i'm
portant that the farmer having ten
acres should have a full and even
stand Of corn as that the loafers
should be weaded out Of a ten COW

There hasn't been a period In the
past fifteen years when grain prices
have ruled as high as they have dur
ing the past two years and when It
was so urgent a matter to weed out
the improbable cows in the dairy

er feeds in proportion the COW which
is just barely paying her keep is use
less, but when it is 80 cents a bushel
or better she becomes a good deal Of a
luxury.

A plan that might we'll be carried

In some sections Of Germany cows
are used with horses in the blowing

Pumpkins do not possess a large food
value, but, like turnips and some other
root crops, are a good system regula-
tor which tends to create a hearty ap.
petite for the regular rations. They are
good for the milk COW, the steer in the
feed lot and the porker. They are
easily raised in the cornfeld and are
preferable to a like volume Of weeds.

A whole lot of dairy herds look like
30 cents when they have had a

One Of the great advantages Of the

possible to feed the calves the warm

Potatoes do not mix by planting diff
ferent varieties in the same hill. 1t is
from the small seed produced in the
potato balls on the vines above ground
that new varieties are originated. The
first season the seed is planted tiny
potatoes appear on the roots in the
usual manner about the size Of beans.
The season following these are planted
and a larger potato secured whose
quality and yielding ability car in a
measure be determined.

There would be considerable benefit
to the horse raisers in any community
If they could agree on the raising of
some particular type Of draft horse.
Not only could they thus by co-operat-
ing secure higher priced and more per-
feet sires, but the raising Of one breed
would tend to give the community a
reputation in this regard which would
attract more buyers and in so far In
sure considerably higher prices through
the competition which would result.
There are large areas of arabic land
In the United States where there is no
gospel which needs proclaim1ng more
e~mphatically than that of an intensive
type Of agriculture-the thorough and
intelligent working of forty, fifty or
sixty acres, in place of the shiftless,
skin over and devil-may-care methods
the baleful effects of which are seer
so commonly on 100 to 800 acre farms.
Increase in land values, coupled with
a decrease In yield as a result of fol-
lowing slipshod methods and the scar
city Of reliable help, is going to COM
pei this partition Of land areas some
time, but the change might be accel-
Grated a good deal if the wholesome
ness and good horse sense Of 1t were
recognized now.

Agriculture in~telligentfy followed is
a vocation which will always offer a
healthful and remunerative occupa-

fair knowledge of its requirements and
a determination to succeed. In its spe-

experts that the agricultural schools
Of the country can't turn graduates

Ohio Is in advance Of many other
states in that she has lately passed
stringent laws touching the sale Of
milk. 1t requires, among other things,
that the cows themselves must be

which they are kept must be sanitary
and that the milk must reach a given
standard as to butter fat and must be
free from water or other foreign or in
furious ingredients.

tation in believing that they can raise
good crops, and share in your
opinion that they can successfully
grow field peas, alfalfa and clover.
But what rotation would you recon-
mend? From what l could learn, the
seasons are too short to put in winter
wheat the same season in which thew
take off the crop. That would leave
every other year for winter wheat and
summer fallow the year between. /
also learned that on account of the
gravel!y condition of the ground they
cannot successfully use the moldboard

would it be possible to disk out good

my way clear for systematic rota-
ton with field peas and alfalfa and
winter wheat, without having too
much blowing to do at any certain
time, either in the spring or in the
fall, might feel like investing. Can
Prof. Shaw give us some light on
these questions? Also what would

talfa Tor .puttinc in winter wheat in
the fall?"
The question of rotation is not
nearly SO important in the Judith
Basin or i'll any of the dry areas @:
the west as in the moist climates
farther east. The fertility leaves
soil more. slowly. This. at least. is
true of nitrogen, and these soils are
wonderfully well supplied with pl,os-
phoric acid and potash. Nv con.
vlct'on is that alfalfa and later also
clover will be the renovating crop.
1t can be sown on part of the land
IN short rotations, that is to saw. the
alfalfa could be broken up at the end
OF two to four or five years. and then
two or three crops of grain would
follow.
| do not apprehcnd much difficulty
III blowing up alfalfa land. There
may be some places where only
disk pillow can be used. but there are
other places, and these comprise the
bulk OF the land. where the other kind
OF pillow can be used. With cultiva-
ton the area for blowing will be
deepened and in time this will be
further helped with the subsoiler.
The plan of sowing alfalfa thinlv
FOR seed and then drilling winter
wheat in between the rows may sue
coed My fear is that there would
be tussle between the alfalfa and
wheat as to which would get the
moisture. In countries where the
rainfall is on the scant side. it is
easy to get the plants too thick IN
the ground. Potatoes and field roots
grown in the rotation would serve
the same purpose as the summer fall
low i'll regard to moisture.

THE EARTHQUAKE

The earthquake which occurred last
week in Italy and Sicily is the greatest
disaster Of modern times. The loss Of
lives will reach hundreds of thOus-
ands, as entire cities have been de-
stroyed and absolutely swallowed up.
The property loss is small in compa RI
son with the destruction of human life
thus recorded. The future Of the sec
ton refei red to is doomed. 1t is the
common belief that no attempt will be
made to rebuild the cities which have
disappeared and that there will be
wholesale emigration from Southern
Italy to this country. The dread of !,
repetition Of the quake will cause the
depOpulatiOn of towns and villages in
the immediate vicinity which escaped
this time and as Italy is over-crowded,
it is anticipated that America will ac-
qnire u deluge Of new residents as
soon as the people are able to arrange
to take there departure for the land in
which so many Of their relatives and
AVAnASi HOW uNtlI ana
prosper, 1t is somewhat strange that
in sections liable to seismic waves the
destruction of property and lives in
the past has made no great impress
upon the populace. Around Naples
after the eruption Of Vesuvius house
owners returned to claim their prop
erty and to reoccupy the same Just as
though the danger Of subsequent
trouble had been removed. Home
has strong claim on people of every
land, but the horror to the present up-
heaval must certainly have an effect
unknown in previous experiences of
the kind and it's result will be to
change the map OF Italy in many ways.
The sympathy Of the world goes out
to the country in question and all that
can be done to comfort the survivors
and to provide them with new homes
and opportunities will be done.

AS will be seen by referring to an
other part of this paper, the residents
OF the territory comprising the land
office district which Senator Carter
proposes to make in this part of the
country, making Harlowton the place
for the establishment of the land
office, vigorously protest against that
towns selection. With the land
Office at Harlowton it would be more
announcement for the patrons Of the
new district than Lewistown now is.
The bulk Of the lands tit to be filed
upon i'll the proposed new district are
located along the line of the Great
Northern railroad. If the people
along this line have - take the Mil
Waukee road to reach the land office,
they would mucl, rather 90 to Lewis
town than llarlowton. 1t seems that
state Senator Toolty OF Meagher
county, in the largenrss Of his heart,
readily succumbed to the blandisl,-
ments of the llarlowton bunch and
willingly fathered the scheme of the
new land office location at llarlowton.
Our state senator must not get the
notion III his head that IIa rloWton is
the only huckleberry on the bush. Ii
he does he will before long, discover
that the bulk Of the population in

A SONG OF CHINA EGGS

The hen she is an honest bird, and
though she sings no lays.
She lays her eggs and favors us in
other little ways:
Belize the heroines of old, she laws
her young life down
10 give us white-meat crisply fried
with bread crumbs rich and brown
In case she be Il rooster, she alarms
us with her crow,
10 warn us in our drowsy beds it's
6O'clOck below;
But oh, her toll is purposeless of
common sense the dregs,
Those times in stubborn hopelessness
she sits on china eggs.
Now perseverance, is a trail by which
success is won,
But perseverance in this line is high
ly overdone;
And though the wisest of us makes
All error now and then,
Forgraceless repetition just commend
me to the hen.
She mounts her nest of china eggs,
and though she never gets
\ solitary chicken for her patience.
still she "sets.''
Experience may teach us of it's wis
dom now and then,
But never seems successful in the
teaching Of the hen.
And yet she has her counterpart that
goes on human legs.
The world is always full of folks who
sit on china eggs:
The fellow with Il system that will
beat 4 game of chance,
The man who grubstakes Failure
he's the setting hen in pants.
The one who seeks the ticker" as the
way to sudden wealth,
The nostrum-buying invalid who
seeks the way to health.
The hen is not the only soul that goes
upon two legs
And moves the world to pity when it
sits on china eggs.
The woman who would marry to re-
form her husbands ways.
The man who always looks for
something solid in the plays.
The one who plays the races with
tip that's right he knows,
The purchaser of oil stock in Il we'll
that never flows,
Full half the folks upon the stage
who play Il simple part,
And more than half the dabblers in
the stream OF verse and art;
The hen is not the only soul that goes
upon two legs
And sits in stubborn hopefulness up-
on her china eggs.
