STORING GRAIN.
Crop ShSuid Not Be Left in the Open
Unless Protected in Some
Manner,

During An extended trip over the
state last fall the writer was i'm.
pressed With the large number of
farmers that were storing their grain
In sacks in the open. As soon as the
grain was threshed it was placed in
= common two-buShel sack and then
stored in the open until the farmer
could find time to haul it to market.
In some instances we noticed some
grain THAI had been piled in the open
in this way and left for about four
weeks before it was removed from the
tand. There was nothing beneath the
grain, nor was there a cover above it.
In different parts Of the state the fall
was unusually wet. This moisture
was partially absorbed by the grain
and no small amount Of the kernels
had sprOuted.
This seems to he common method
Of storing grain, especially in new
Country. cut to say the least it is a
mighty poor method of handling it. A
large amount of work and money is
used in the production Of this grain
and unless some care is exerted in
the matter of handling after thresh
tng the farmer will never receive the
hest results, The storing of the grain
in the open in this manner is indeed q
very poor practice. However. If it is
necessary 10 handle the grain in this
way we would suggest that a large
amount q, straw. or even better.
boards should be placed upon the
ground end the grain piled upon this.
Then the farmer should be prepared
20 have some kind of a cover. such 40
q tarpcui!n or straw, to be placed upon
the TOP OF the sacks in order to pre-
vent the grain from absorbing mois-
tire. Even ii this precautiOn is used
in the handling OF the grain there is
loss caused by fires. Grain stored
In this way is not protected in any
way and should fire break out it is
very Likely to cause large loss
Even better than this manner of stor-
ing the grain is the use of the com
mon graGary. or the common steel
tank. By The use of either one Of
protected from the rain and storms
as well as from fire.
Briefly. chen, in summarizing. We
wish to leave the impression with tn
reader that he should not store his
grain in the open unless he has pre-
tected ii n some manner. Keeping
this brief suggestion in mind the far
mer will be able TO market his grain
in a much better condition.--H. +. Pa.

Selecting the
Hereford Bull.
~ n F. Patterson. Montana
Agricultural College.

4. =. !. I. =. i 4 Il !. \ =
In the selection of a Hereford bull
Cor breeding purposes there are abou.
two points that one should keep in
mind: first. We should not overlook
the pedigree. and. second, we should
not overlook the individual. In near.
a. every instance viii! It pay the aver.
age farna, to use pure bred bull.
ny the use OF the pure bred bull upon
the grade animals we are able to
make vast improvements in our live
stock. The bull is often considered
to be NOR, than one-half OF the herd
This is indeed true because one bull
Ia usually mated with from twenty to
twenty-five or forty females. His in.
fuence is thus extended over large
number Of animals. whereas the in
6uence OF female would be found
only in the progeny. For this reason
we wish 20 put particular emphasis
upon the pedigree of our bull.
His ancestors should be good indi.
viduals. who have made good records
as show animals as we'll as breeding
animals. After we have picked out
an animal that has a geed pedigree
we should aim to secure an animal
that has individuality He should
have lots OF life. his eye should he
bright: there should be good width
enatwecn the eyes and the face should
he clean cut. The body should be of
the hlocky type; the back broad. the
soins strong. the tanks low. the rump
and thigh we'll filled. and the legs
should be strong and we'll placed.
II the farmer will keep these points
In mind. he will find that it will be
possible to breed up herd OF ami
mails of exceptional merit within a
very short time.

ID REDEEM PART OF STATE BOND ISSUE .. Mississippi Legislature Ad- iOurns Short But Very
 Heated Session

Jackson. Miss, November 15.-The Mis- sssippi legislature meeting in extra ses- sion adjourned late today, after provision was made for the redemption of such part of the s6O0,OOO state bond issue of 1910 as the holders may elect, and authorizing another issuance of bonds to take the place of the bonds redeemed.
 Governor Noel in his call specified the solution of the bond issue controversy as the special reason for converting the leg islature in extra session. It was the con- tention of the governor that interest should be paid from the date of authoriza- ton. Treasurer Edwards insisted that in- interest could be legally paid only from the date of sale of these bonds which was accomplished some montns after the bonds were issued.
 Other measures urged by the governor were an appropriation to pay the sal aries and expenses of members of the state militia called out in connection with the strike of Illinois Central shopment and a bill granting immunity to wit nesses in bribery investigations. Botl were passed.
