GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Never breed an animal that has .
bad disposition.
A horse cannot rest well lying down
in a narrow stall.
Get rid of the SOW that does not
prove to be a good mother.
Salt fed daily greatly increases the
gain from the feed consumed.
Take time to thoroughly stir the
cream several times while ripening.
The value of SOW az q breeder
does not consist of her prolifcness
alone.
When a young pig becomes too fat
the heart Is one Of the first organs
affected.
Having cream the right temperature
when you begin churning saves time
and vexation.
Keep the eve lambs by themselves
until they are in their second year.
when they may be bred.
A considerate man will not swear at
his horses any more than he would
swear at his hired man.
Takes longer to churn when the
churn is more than half full. We must
give the cream room for agitation.
Sheep thrive in the air and sunshine
and quickly pine and fall away when
deprived of these essential elements.
Carelessness and ignorance cause
more loss from disease than anything
else that confronts the average poul.
tryman.
Packers have paid 20 cents for eggs
this summer to place in cold storage
This means higher priced eggs next
winter.
Sponging a horses eyes, face and
nose three or four times a day during
hot weather is refreshing and very
beneficial.
Unless you know which hens are the
best layers and act on this knowledge
you cannot make . success of the poul
try business.
Place the windows IN front Of thu
stall at least three feet above ths
horses head. The sun should NOT shine
directly into his eyes.
Cream ripens slow these eoal days
1t helps matters to add a small
amount of buttermilk to the swee
cream when enough has been gath
cred for a churning.

NUTRITlvE ELEMENTS IN HAY


The nutritive substances in hay m
feed may be divided into two claSseS
flesh formers and fuel or energy pro.
ducing substances. When the proper
amount of these two classes of sub
stances is fed the ration is said to be
balanced. II an unbalanced ration Is
fed, as one containing more fuel or
energy producing substances than are
needed and less fiesh-forming material.
the ration is partially wasted. and such
unwise feeding will not bring as good
results as the feeding Of the same
amount of a balanced ration. Each
class of substances has different Offices
to perform in the body. n NOT enough
fiesh-forming substance Is fed the body
suffers. because it is absolutely neces-
sary to keep the body in good condi-
ton. Thousands of horses are fed MI
they can eat. yet are poorly nourfshsa
because the food contains little except
fuel substances.

used to replace the waste that goes on

Spuds Do Their Best on Well

Disk Harrow Used AdvantageousIy in
Preparing the soiI-care Should

Do Not Get Started.
RY II rRuEANrl

tBY l. H. TRUFANTD
Potatoes will do their best on q
well-manured, well-prepared clover
sod. The ground should be plowed
about two weeks before planting.
One of the best tools for getting the
ground into a fine filth is the disk
harrow. Double disk the ground once
or twice and after that use the spring
and spike tooth harrow.
After you have soil in proper shape
look to your seed potatoes. These
should be kept in a cool dark place so
that they will send out strong. healthy
shoots.
They should have been selected the
previous year from the hill, using only
the best potatoes from the best hills.
In digging potatoes we often find
hills that only contain three or four
small potatoes.
If We do not select from the hill seed
will tell in potatoes as well as in
stock, but if you have to plant small
and scabby potatoes be sure and
treat them for scab. This is easily
done. Put the potatoes in clean sacks
and soak for two hours in solution
of Is gallons of water and one-half
pound of formalin. 1t is important
that the sacks and barrel containing
the mixture be thoroughly clean, be-
cause disinfected seed will be REIN
fected IL put into dirty sacks or boxes
from which It was taken.
After you have your soil in shape
mark off your rows from 21k to 8
feet apart, depending on the fertility
of your soil.
Harrow the ground two or three
times before the plants come up so as
to kill the weeds and maintain dust
mulch, thus retaining moisture.
This method saves a lot of cultiva-
ton and it is cheaper, as you can get
over a large area in day.
After the potatoes are up set the
cultivator deep and close to the plant.
| prefer level cultivation, as there 10
no danger of root pruning.
Go shallower each time after this,
cultivate just enough to keep the
weeds down and to maintain a dust
mulch and IL the weeds should get the
start of you after you have stopped
cultivating go through the field with a
corn knife and cut the weeds on close
to the root. By this method you do
not lose any of the potatoes and 1t is
also quicker than pulling them up.
Be very careful that the bugs do not
get ahead of you. as they will soon
strip the leaves OF the plants. The
best time to kill them is just as they
are Matching and it does not take much
poison to kill them, at this time.
Spray for blight also. This is q
kind of insurance. 1t is claimed by
some growers that the increased
yield will pay for the work.
Many methods of harvesting are
now used. For the large growers the
use of the four-horse digger is prob
ably the cheapest way, but the small
growers can undoubtedly do it cheap
er by hand.

Plans Homegoing of lrishmen in 1910

The plan is to induce the Irish people
from all over the United States to re-
turn to their native land during the
months of July, August and Septem-
Der. 1t is proposed that the various
Irish organizations, notably the A. o..
H.. and the Gaelic league shall take
up the movement and carry It
through. Kilkenny does not claim
personal originality for the idea but
he gave it initial impetus and has Ia
ken upon himself the burden Of inter-
esting Irish societies in the plan.
More than a sentimental purpose
animates those who have undertaken
this ambitious task. While the pros

reduced transportation rates. and In

leading incentive, the real purpose of
the movement Is to stimulate Irish
industry. Kilkenny has made several
visits to his old home in Ireland and
each time has been impressed with
the industrial possibilities of the coun-
try and the apparent hopelessness of
improving conditions without organ
lied effort He takes the position that
the industrial and agricultural re-
sources of Ireland have not been de-
veloped to one-tenth of their capac-
ity. Capital is needed to develop
them and Kilkenny believes that II
will be forthcoming II the Irish people
in this country are given an opportun.
ity to see with their own eyes that
profitable investments can be made.

Advantages of Fall Flowing.

There are some advantages of fall
blowing which might be mentioned.
The fall blowing gives the farmer plen-
~ of time to do his work in the spring
of the year. He may spend much of
the time in repairing his fences and
outbuiidings instead of blowing in the
field. Then, too, he is most certain to
get into his field earlier and while his
reighbor is p,owing his ground he may
be planting his corn. and the early
crop is the one that yields the better

The Great Northern is now run
ming an extra coach from Havre to
Cut Bank to accommodate the in
creased traffic between these two
towns. They expect to put on
local train in a short time to do
this work.
Several new faces are noticeable
among the train men now since the
train crews on 43 and Al run from
here to Great Falls. A number of
the men from the Butte division are
running in here.
Train No. 1 now runs thru to
Seattle daily. No. and 43 turn
at Spokane and consolidate passen-
gers on No. 1. All passengers
routed to Portland or any point via
the S. P. & S. from Spokane, trans
fer to S. P. & S. train at Spokane.
The question of division rights
has now been settled between the
engineers and the Great Northern,
but not to the entire satisfaction of
all. AS it is now fixed, all en-
gineers who were promoted previ-
Gus to August 1 1907, will be en-
titled to hold rights on both the
Kalispell and Spokane divisions,
that is from Cut Bank to Spokane,
and all branches, but the men pro-
noted after that date will have to
choose between one or the other,
and will have to remain perman-
emily located on the division which
he chooses.

AT PRESB. CHURCH

The Presbyterian church,
which has been without a min
lister since early this year, has
secured the services of Rev.
Joseph CASTOR, formerly of
Kenmare, N. D., who will occu-
py the pulpit next Sunday and
until the end Of the church year.
Rev. CASTOR preached two very
good sermons last Sunday, max
ing a very good impression upon
his congregations. He has a
keen sense of humor, is an elo-
quent speaker, and is we'll in
formed on all general topics;
these traits coupled with the fact
that he is an earnest Christian
and diligent worker for the cause
of Christianity will, no doubt,
win for him a warm place in the
hearts of all Whitefsh citizens.
The committee has arranged
for music for both morning and
evening services, and all are
cordially invited.
