advantagein one respect is realized as
it should he. That is the summer
climate all over Montana and espec-
tally in the Judith basin. Wires
from the east during the past two
weeks should make us realize 1t.
The reports show that there has been
intense suffering all through the east
because Of the intense heat, nnbroken
by rain or breeze. The loss Ut life
has been appalling. especially in the
larger cities. Despite all efforts the
infant mortality has been unprece-
dented. And while a great portion Of
the country has thus been sweltering,
out here in Montana we have been
enjoying ideal summer weather. The
days have been comfortable and the
nights cool enough to invite sleep and
rest. Thousands who have the means
have fled from the heat to mountain
and seaside resorts and to the north
ern countries, but they might have
Jared better by simply coming out to
Montana. 1t is "a JOY to live III this
delightful land during these summer
months and later in the autumn. it is
even more delightful. In counting
over your blessings these days don't
forget that one Of them is the fact
that YOU are spending your summer
in Montana, free from the clustering,
sitting heat of the east. -LeWistown

EGG EATING.

Lack of Meat in Diet Cause Of Habit
in Hens.
II am troubled great deal by my
hens eating the eggs as fast as they
are laid Is there anything I can do
to break them of this habit or dis
ease?"-W. M. G.. Twin Bridges.
Reply: Egg eating generally indi-
Gates lack of meat in the diet. Feed
meat scraps. blood meal. fresh cut
meat and bone, etc. in abundance.
Finely chopped salt pork has also
been recommended to cure this habit.
II these remedies do not prove ef-
fective make nests so constructed
that it is impossible for the hens to
get at the eggs after they are laid.
Fill the bottom of an ordinary nest
with straw. then fasten in burlap so
that it will sag to within two or three
inches of the straw. Cut a slit about
three inches long in the center of the
burlap. crossed by another slit about
two inches long. The egg will roll
to the center of the burlap when the
hen rises and fall through to the
straw beneath. william F.. Schoppe.

Weather and
Soil Conditions.

Agricultural College.

. . . . . .
So long es the writer can remember
he has repeatedly heard from the
press and from the platform warnings
against year of drought. The pub
lie speakers and the writer's continual.
~ say that year of drought is sure
to come AMI then the disaster Of 1893.
1895 will be repeated. 1t will be re.
membered that these three years were
ceptionally dry. The yield of grain
and the yield of grass was very small
II we will go back, however, and look
at the statistics, we will find that the
year 1904 was. perhaps, the one during
which the farmers suffered most Then
again, If we will look back we will re-
member that the people who were
prepared for this dry season came out
in very good shape.
No doubt the warnings that the PEG.
pie are receiving will do some good,
and then in other respects they are
apt to do great deal of damage. Peo-
pie will become discouraged and
consequently will give up a large
amount OF the work that should be
done and in this respect a failure is
sure to come. We do not want to pay
too much attention to the warnings
that large number of people are Civ.
ing forth, because no man can pre-.
dict the weather. We very often hear
the expression of the opinion that the
seasons are changing and that we will
have more or less rainfall, as the case
may be. This is not. however, wha.
statistics and records show. We find
that the climate is not changing and
that we have both the wet and the
dry seasons. Just when these seasons
will come We do not aim to say. Some
would lead us to believe that they
follow each other with regularity. Just
how much emphasis should be placed
on this is difficult to say. The pre-
cipitation records are not in a form
that will warrant this conclusion
however.
II we are to have continued success
with our farming operations we must
always be ready to meet the natural
conditions. That is, if the weather is

to be very wet or very dry. we should
have prepared our soil in advance to
meet these conditions. The writer
distinctly remembers the dry seacon
CT lS93-94-a5. He also remembers that
even during these dry periods there
We're not entire failures. but those only
failed who were not following tile
proper system of cultivation, or. in
other words. those who We're not pre-
pared to meet the dry weather. We
cannot too often repeat the fact that
crops cannot be grown In any region
without proper cultivation and with
out moisture. nor can we too often
repeat the fact that early -matur!ng
crops should be grown in any locality
where the amount of rainfall is uncer-
tain. We do not expect that the cult
walton and the crops that were used
IN the humid states will bring good
results in the semi.arid states. We
should secure the crops that are
adapted to the dry regions and then
pillow deep and cover the soil with il
dust mulch.
So far the season of 1911 looks
somewhat unfavorable. This. how.
ever, should not cause us to become
discouraged. because it is difficult to
tell the type of weather that will come
later on. We cannot tell whether it
lie going to be dry or wet. but in either
event it will pay us to SO prepare our
land as to meet the adverse condition.
Then. If 1t turns off favorable. our
work will still bring US in very good
returns.

Controlling Weeds
in the Dat Field.
BY F. 3. LinficId, Director Mon.
tana Experiment Station.

+ + + i i. !. + + :. !. !. !. j. !. ). !. j.
Oats are often considered a very
good crop for the purpose Of destroy.
ing weeds. One of the reasons for
this is that oats make a quick. heavy
growth and shade the ground to such
an extent that the weeds are very
often destroyed. Perhaps the best
method, however, for destroying
weeds in an oat field is to sow clean
seed and to prepare the land in such
manner as to destroy the weeds.
The weed seed can be removed from
the seed oats by the use of the fan.
ming mill or by hand separation.
There are large number of weed
seeds that are found in oats, but
among the most important are wild
oats, mustard king head, and sun.
flower. The wild oat seed is usually
somewhat smaller than the tame and
it is not difficult to blow it out by the
use of the tanning mill Then again.
the wild oats are usually darker in
color and have very stiff. erect
beard 1t is not difficult to distin.
guish the wild oats from the tame.
Better than to SOW the oats that con-
tain this weed would be to hand pick
and in this way remove all of the wild
oat seed.
The mustard seed is much smaller
than the oat grain and is easily re-
moved by the use of the tanning mill.
The king head and sunflower seeds
are somewhat larger than the mus
tard seed but they are not difficult to
remove. Their weight is such that
when the grain is passed through
the tanning mill the seeds can be
easily removed
The second method of getting rid
OF the weed seeds in the oat field is
by proper cultivation. The lane
should be plowed to good depth and
thoroughly disced and narrowed, and
as many of the weeds destroyed as is
possible. Some farmers have had
good success by starting the germina.
ton Of the weeds In the fall and then
blowing the land and thus getting rid
Of these Objectionable plants. This
practice can also be followed IN the
spring by allowing some Of the seeds
to terminate and then plawing the
land and handling it in such man.
ner as to destroy the weeds
After the seed bed is well pre-.
pared 1t is good plan to seed the
oats more thickly than is usually
done on clean soil BY doing this
the stand is thickened to such an ex.
tent that good many of the weeds
are smothered. Then again. in other
parts Of the country farmers will har.
row their oat fields just before the
grain makes it's appearance. This
practice seems to be giving some very
good results as the action OF the har.
row hoes out and destroys large
number of the small weeds.
