After Twenty-Five Years.

One day well-dressed elderly man
called at the shop of a jeweler in a
sma.i Scottish town and asked:
rs my watch ready?"
AS the matchmaker had at the mo.
ment no remembrance of the man. he
asked him in turn:
When did you leave your watch -
oh" replied the man, 81 didn't
leave 1t in this shop. Ye were over
by Nelson street when ye got it,"
"Nelson street," replied the jeweler.
I'VE left Nelson street seventeen
years ago"
But left 1t with ye, for a that" "
Can you tell me the name and the
number Of the watch?'
They were promptly given, as well
as description of the watch, and It
was found. Exactly twenty-five years
had passed since 1t was left for re-
pairs. yet. at the end of that time, its
owner had called for 1t as naturally
as If he had left it only the preceding
week.
why have you not got your prop
erty before?' asked the jeweler.
"Weel,' responded the man, 81 went

Poultry Notes.
Dakota Farmer.)

Nearly everyone can keep hens, but
can everyone make the hens keep
them? Hens do not pay unless you
give them suitable care.
The poultry like fresh straw now
and then just as we'll as the COW likes
to be we'll bedded.
The hens that are yarded should be
given the lawn clippings. The daily
ration is not complete without ami
NAL food in some form. Skim milk
fed separately or with the mash fur
nishes partial substitute for the meat
ration.
Keeping too many breeds is a poor
way to succeed. One or two varieties
given the best of care is best.
A poultryman that is too careless to
keep the hen house free from vermin
does not deserve to succeed.
Poultry should be kept off feed
twenty-four hours before being killed
and dressed for market.
Have some way of telling the oldest
eggs and keep them sold.
Be sure to provide some shade in
the runs or you will find that some of
your chicks will not feather.
Chicks that have been drowned in
watering tanks that someone forgot to
empty would make good-sized flock.
A hen is not lazy by nature and will
surprise you in what she can do if
given the right chance.
1t costs no more to feed hen that
lays $50 eggs year than one that
lays 60.
If you do not like your breed, change
as soon as you can, for you will never
be successful with breed you do not
like. Do plenty of good thinking be-
fore you make the change, as it is ex-
pensive not only in money expended,
but in the experience you have al
ready gained with the breed you have
Give the flock you have square deal
and be sure that the fault lies with
them and not that you just want a
change.
Poultry raising is what you make it
Lots of people make it drudgery by
the attitude of mind rather than the
amount of work they do.

sheep. A band of 40 or SO ewes is
plenty to begin operations. No Won
derful blessings will follow the mere
placing of these sheep on the farm.
They must be given care and atten-
tion, their wants must be looked after.
their health insured, and then, and
then only, the profits will accrue. The
farmer should know his sheep, their
likes and dislikes. He should be able
to tell at a glance if they are in sick
ness or in trouble, they should be
tame enough to catch without trouble,
they should know their master, and
in knowing him, cease to fear him.
The farmer who makes a success of
sheep must not be a mere business
head to the farm; he must go back to
the days of his fathers boyhood, he
must know his sheep and know them
well. Verify, "the eye of the Master
fattens the flock" 1t is a pleasant
occupation, one where there is room
for work, for thought, for growth, one
where a man grows broader and bet
ter through mere contact with his
gentle charges.
Try a flock of 40 or SO ewes this
next year. With that small number
you will be able to give them good
care, you will get to know them and
to like them. Your lamb crop should
be big, 100 to 14O per cent, and you
should save them, nearly ALL Feed

will be small, the wool will more than
pay for it and your lamb crop will go
in as net profit. Can you ask for
more? By feeding these same lambs
on your own farm in the winter time
you can get good prices for your grain
and hay, and market them at home.
Or if you don't wish to care for them
yourself, get little flock for the boys.
Give them some interest at home,
make it worth their while to care for
the sheep in the way they should. Let
them call the sheep their own, let
them keep the money to use when
they 60 to college. They will find
plenty to do and sufficient encourage
ment for doing 1t, they will love the
farm and come back. to it when their
college days are over. If the boys
thus have an interest of their own,
something that depends upon them
alone for livelihood. they will absorb
love of the country, love of nature
and Of watching things grow that is
far greater than their love of cities
or social stunts, and whole lot better
for their hearts and souls. And there
in lies the redemption and upbuilding
of our country life.

OF INTEREST TO
FARMERS

The Montana grain laboratory estab-
1ished by the legislature at its last
session is nearly ready to start active
work, says w. F. Brewer in the Da-
kota Farmer. This work will be of
great import to the farmers. millers,
grain buyers, and seedsmen of the
state, for it is through this laboratory
that the rulings of the new seed law
will be enforced. In this laboratory,
which has been established by law at
the state experiment station in Boze-
man, the milling and baking qualities
of the wheat raised in Montana will
be determined, the germinative quail
ity and the purity of agricultural
seeds will be investigated, and the
gradings of Montana grains in the mar
ket will be more or less closely regu-
lated by comparison with legally es
tablished standard specimens.
The new seed law, which goes into
effect Jan. l, 1914, compels all deal
ers in agricultural seeds to place a
label on every package of one or more
pounds weight. The label must tell:
first, the commonly accepted name of
the seed; second, the germinative per-
centage, and the date upon which it
was determined; third, the percentage
of certain injurious weed seed, if any
of the specified noxious seeds are
found in the sample; fourth, the per-
centage present of any other foreign
seed, chaff, dust, etc.; fifth, the name
of the scotsman Offering the seed for

sale, and his address.
The laboratory will be operated in
accordance with the rulings of the
state grain commission, appointed last
month by Governor Stewart, as pro-
vided in the new seed law. That COM
mission consists of Charles Vanden-
hook of Bozeman, Patrick Fine of Vir-
ginia City, and Prof. Alfred Atkinson,
at the time of his appointment, man.
ager of a ranch at Stanford, but now
back in his old place as professor of
agronomy at the state college, and
experiment station agronomist This
commission met August 26th and
adopted the Minnesota grain stand
ards, with slight notifications. Dis
putes regarding the grading of grain
will be referred to the commission,
and tests made at the laboratory will
be the basis for their decisions. While
it may not be possible to compel grain
buyers outside the state to accept the
gardings of the commission, they will
nevertheless afford a check on the
gradings of outside dealers, and within
the state they will exercise absolute
control.
The laboratory will test seed for any
resident of the state free, providing
the applicant pays the transportation
charges and conforms to certain minor
regulations in his preparation of the
sample. A bulletin now being pre-
pared sets forth these regulations, and
will be sent as soon as ready, upon
application.
The laboratory superintendent and
his assistant may inspect any agricul-
tural seed which is sold or offered for
sale; and while the law does not pro-
hibit the sale of seed which is impure,
as do some state laws on the subject,
the seller will be compelled to state
the degree of impurity on the label
B. Whitlock, who has had experience
in this work in the experiment station
laboratory Of the state of Kansas, has
been appointed superintendent Of the
Montana laboratory, but no assistant
has yet been named. Space has been
provided in one of the smaller build
ings at the college for the laboratory,
for which much of the equipment is al
ready installed. There is a seed ger
minator in which rs samples of from
one to two hundred seeds each may be
tested at one time. An electrically
driven seed cleaner is also ready for
operation, and Wolfe mill will soon
be installed. An electric mixing and
baking apparatus will enable the lab
oratOry operator to receive the wheat
turn it into flour, bake it and rate
it, without permitting the sample to go
outside the laboratory.

Sheep on the Farm,

Montana Farmer: At the present
time there is ample reason to think
seriously of sheep husbandry, at least
on small scale. The high cost of
beef has carried up the price of 9TH
er meats with it, mutton is perhaps
cheaper than pork or beef, but it is
higher than ever before in recent
years and shows but little prospect of
going down. The consumption is in
creasing faster than the supply, the
production does not at all keep pace
with the increased demand. During
the last five years the farmers, east
of the corn belt, have prepared for
this increase I'M the price of mutton
and have been restocking their farms
with western ewes. The high prices
obtained for grain in other years have
caused a general plowing up of east
ern pastures, so there is no danger
of the market being overstocked. The
prejudice that at one time existed
against mutton eating has almost died
away. The cities are eating all the
mutton they can get and paying good
prices for it. True, there is not much
of a market for large sheep, but there
is no necessity for the farmer to raise

low on the markets, yet there were
few if any of the feeders or lambs
who did not make money this last
year.
Montana is accredited with more
sheep than any other state, some
where around 100000, and yet few
of these millions of sheep are kept on
the farms. The range is now fully
stocked with sheep and with cattle
In many places it has been over
stocked and the grass has been killed
out so badly that no animals can ex-
ist there. Every year sees more and
more of the water being taken up by
the hOmesteaders, and without water
sheep cannot live on the ranges.
There is no way to make up for this
decrease in range sheep except by
keeping more sheep on the farms.
There is no way of OVERRIDING this
sheep farming unless two things hap
pen, hard times such as the days of
'93 come to the country or every farm

these things show any possibility of

their wool for last years prices, and
they may get it, In some few in
stances we know of sheep men who
have sold their wool for an increase
over last year. There is not much
wool in the country, 1918 registers a
light clip and the prospects for an

far as human knowledge can forecast.
