SENSIBLE MONTANA.

Beginning with Jan. the good
people Of Montana will be able to
know bit about the pedigree of the
eggs they have for breakfast At that
date regulations became effective rela-
tive to the sale of eggs, which state
authorities say will be strictly en-
forced. Under the regulations eggs
will be classified as fresh eggs, ranch
eggs and case eggs. Eggs offered for
sale as fresh that are more than seven
days old will be considered misbrand
ed. Ranch eggs are those that have
not been preserved or the age of
which is unknown. All eggs that have
been kept in cold storage or that have
been preserved in any way are known
as case eggs, and the containers of
such eggs must have plainly marked
thereon III letters not less than two
inches high the month and the year in
which the eggs were placed in storage.
Any eggs of the above class not plain.
ly labeled are considered misbranded
The law imposes heavy penalties for
violation and makes it incumbent upon
both the merchant and eating house
proprietor to specify plainly the class
to which eggs he sells belong

CORN IN LOUISIANA.

A very interesting change that is
going on in those portions of the south
where cotton has been the staple crop
for generations past is clearly shown
in the rapid increase in the produc
ton of corn in the state CT louisiana
during the past few yearz \ few
years ago the cotton boil Wee III made
its appearance in the state. and cotton
growers seemed to be threatened with
bankruptcy. But being compelled to
devote cotton land to the growing of
corn and other crops has really been
a blessing in disguise. Figures that
have been compiled show that the
production of corn has increased from
19.516.499 bushels in 1905 to nearly
10OOO0,OO0 bushels in 1911. In the
year 1910 Louisiana corn was sold to
Europe and Texas for the first time.
and the surplus for the past year has
been close to 100000 bushels.

The brown or corn bread that is the
natural complement of ration Of pork
and beans is said to have been first
made by Boston baker in 1746 in an
effort to find cheaper substitute for
the white bread, which had become a
luxury owing to the high price of
wheat. While 1t was designed origi-
nally as ration for the poorer classes,
1t took so well that it became highly
priced by both rich and poor. The fol-
lowing is said to be the recipe for this
original brown bread: Take two cup
fuls of Indian meal, two cupfuls Of rye
or wheat -four, two cupfuls of sour
milk. one cupful each of sweet milk
and moasses, two teaspoonfuls of soda
and two of salt. Steam three hours in
covered tin inside large covered
vessel, then half an hour more with the
inside cover off.

A Big HORSE FEEDING TEST.

Probably the largest experiment In
horse feeding ever conducted was the
one recently concluded at Fort Riley,
Kan. under the supervision of DR..
Campbell. who Is connected with the
State Agricultural college. Nine hun
dred and thirty-seven horses were
used in the test. and these were di.
vided into fifteen different lots and fed
as many different rations. Every meal
for every one of these horses was
weighed and mixed in the right pro-
portions during period Of 40 days.
The purpose Of the experiment was to
find, If possible, grain ration that
would take the place Of oats and give
as good results. also to test the feeding
value of different hays and to deter
mine the effect Of different grain ra-
tons upon the health Of the horses.
When the feeding tests were concluded
several things were made clear: First,
other feeds can be substituted for oats
as ration for work horses. with as
good results and much cheaper. 1t was
proven conclusivelyy that oats alone
WCAC a USllcH gram LOT WOTh uOTS6S
than corn alone, but more expensive.
Horses that were fed oats alone gained
on an average sixteen pounds a head.
while like number that were fed corn
alone lost Twenty-Five pounds apiece
In the same time When corn was fed
with the proper amount of alfalfa Of
the right quality 1t was found to give
just as good results as oats and, be.
sides. was fully 80 per cent cheaper.
Alfalfa hay, properly fed, proved to be
a more valuable roughage than either
timothy or prairie hay and cheapened
the cost of the daily ration from 25
to 40 per cent. A ration consisting Of
six parts Of corn, four parts of oats
and four parts of bran. together with
timothy hay, was rated as the best ra-
ton that could be given q horse, |
though not the cheapest An old |
idea was exploded in the experiment
namely, that horses fed oats have
more life than those given a ration Of
corn.

A SCHOOL OF HORTICULTURE

- 0ST'oOI VT Nun ISOI " *.
AS result of cooperation on the
part of the business men of Lewiston.
Ida. and Charleston, Wash. school of
horticulture has been established at
Livingston that will be quite unique in
its scope and purpose Instead Of fur.
nishing instruction pramirily to young
people,. as is so largely true Of the av-
erage agricultural college. the school in
question will be attended most largely
by owners Of fruit ranches in the vi.
cinity and their wives and daughters
Among the subjects studied will be
fruit growing. nursery practice, the
growing of small fruits and vegetables.
insects and their treatment. plant dis.
eases and other subjects arising from
the agricultural conditions to be found
In the valley: also soil physics and soil
chemistry. The business men of the
two cities came to the conclusion that
the fruit industry of the valley was re-
tarded because of lack of trained
men. and the school just established
has definitely in view correcting this
difficulty. That high grade Of in
struction will be given is indicated in |
the choice of Professor Thornber, pre- |
viously in charge of the horticultural |
departments Of the South Dakota and |
Washington state agricultural colleges |
Lectures will be given in the forenoons |
OF five days in the week. while the labo
ratory work will be largely done in

school and is enthusiastic about it's fu- !
ture.

Perhaps In no case does the proverb
IAN ounce Of prevention is worth a
pound Of cure" apply with greater
force than in the case of the flock Of
poultry. 1t is both cheaper and easier
to take the simple necessary precau-
tons to insure the health Of the flock
than to correct matters after a disease
gets a foothold, for after poultry get
sick the simplest and often the cheap
est cure is to knock them on the head
and bury them.

cred on farm near Raymondville
Tex. to witness the dynamiting of FIVE
acres of land. the treatment being
given for the purpose Of increasing it's
productive capacity. Holes were bored
forty feet apart over this tract and to
depth of five feet. and in these the
charges of dynamite were placed and
exploded 1t is claimed by those who
were in charge Of the experiment that
this treatment will increase the ca
pacity of the soil to hold moisture and
will make possible more perfect sub

In some sections of the west where
homesteaders are settling on the big
cattle ranges they seem to have adopt
ed the motto of "free range. free beef"
and have been enjoying toothsome
supply Of fresh beef by killing steers
now and then that happened to stray
on their ranches. Naturally the cattle
men object to this procedure and in
some instances have appealed to state
authorities for protection. 1t was not

The fine quality of many a big churn-
ing in cooperative creameries is ruined
through the addition to the cream of
single mess of filthy cream slipped into
the gatherer's tank by some careless or
dirty patron. Where such a mess of
cream is stirred into large vat of
cream and is allowed to ripen before
churning the contamination is spread
to the whole mass, and when this
churning of butter gets to market the
price may be knocked from 2 to
cents a pound because of the rankness
which has been impaired. Level head
ed creamery managers and their but
termakers should have their drivers
keep close tab on these dirty patrons,
with orders to refuse dirty cream or
that from the milk Of cows too far ad-
vanced in their period Of lactation for
their milk to be sweet and disable. If
these precautions were taken thou
sands OF dollars would be saved for

Modern business inficts much injus-
tice at times upon those less favorably
situated in the economic scale and is
also responsible for the practice of
much dishonesty Of one kind and an
other, but 1t has also had some most
wholesome influences. Among these Is
a great curtailment Of the drinking Of
all railway employees and the workers
in many other industries where en-
ployers insist on efficiency and sobriety.
Many Of these same companies have
entirely forbidden the use OF cigarettes
by employees while on duty simply be-
cause they take from a mans mental
alertness and power of concentration.
The chief causes of loss in the opera
fion OF many farm dairy are two
failure to apply the Babcock test for
quantity and quality of milk to ascer-
tain which cows are really paying for
the keep or making a profit and. Sec
ondly. failure to adjust the grain ration
Of the cows to the amount Of milk that
they are giving. With cows giving
milk containing about per cent Of
butter fat good rule is to feed three
pounds Of grain daily for each FIVE
pounds of milk produced. From this
it will be seen that in many dairy
herd cows may be fed either more or
less grain than they ought to get In
both instances to a loss and disadvan-
tage.
