The Grass Range Country
In Montana.
BY JOHN \. KOLAR.

man, Canon IA; Esterly 1924; I'm
tral Montana, famous for its mild
winters, is forging to the front. Less
than year ago the Milwaukee rail-
road completed its Great Falls line
to the town OF Grass Range and it is
expected that it will be continued
on east through fertile country this
year, thus opening to cultivation a
vast territory which heretofore has
been a stock country only as lack
of transportation precluded diversi-
fed farming.
The Great Northern railroad is al
so building directly into this territory
from Lewiston on east and will build
up many new towns.
The 500 and the Northern Pacific.
not to be outdone are both in the
| field for new lines, in fact all these
lines of railroads are now recognizing
it as territory in whose future de-
velopment they swant a hand, real
izing that this country will furnish
an almost unlimited supply of pro-
ducts and create heavy tonnage for
their lines.
A good idea of the climate can be
had from the work on construction
of an irrigation system now being
put in. Team work on the canals
has been in progress for the past IA
months, and plowing has been done
part of the time in every month
since the work began.
The unusual heavy rainfall, aver
aging over 10 inches yearly of which
10 inches fall during the late spring
and early summer, makes it sure
crop country, besides there are thou
sands of acres Of irrigated land and
thousands of acres yet to be irrigat-
ed by the mountain streams with
their never failing supply of water.
Under irrigation the crops are be-

alfalfa, timothy, clover, as we'll as
all other crops cannot be surpassed
anywhere in the Northwest.
With healthy, invigorating eli
mate, 10 degrees warmer than the
Well-known Judith Basin, an eleva-
ton of only 5000 feet, a soil whose
richness and depth are not surpassed
anywhere in the Northwest, it's fu-
ture still in the making, it is an ideal
country for man with modest
means to get a start and see his eff
forts crowned with success, not east
ly found in any other country; he can
establish his home amidst unusually
favorable environments and the rapid
development by railroads and other
agencies will make for him surround
lags ideal.
t is brand new country and the
prices of land have not yet reached

terested if they will send me a

country settled up with a progressive

Bus MESS METHODS SPELL
PROFIT FOR FARMERS
Should Improve Production BY Use OF
Simple Tests in Cooperation With
the Country School.
]. e. METZGER,
Maryland Agricultural College.

1t is estimated that the average COW
produces only about 1000 pounds of
milk and $50 pounds of butter fat per
year. The cows from herds, where
some attention has been given to Sc
lection. breeding and care produce on
an average from 5000 to 5000 pounds
of milk and from 200 to 800 pounds of
butter fat annually.
The important question to each
farmer is how can he determine what
each COW is doing? Only three things
are necessary, circular spring-bal-
ance, recordsheet and testing outfit.
The first two should be owned by each
farmer since they may be had at a
small cost, and the last should be pur-
chased by the school district and
placed in the local school room.
The making of the test for butter
fat is quite simple, and may be done
very accurately by boys and girls of
the sixth and seventh grades. This
would make a very valuable school ex-
ercise for one day in each month. In
schools where agriculture is not
taught it could be made part of the
work of the physiology class. Each
boy and girl should learn how to make
the test quickly and accurately and
should be given school credit for the
work done. The results obtained from
the test will make valuable lessons in
arithmetic, language and sanitation,
and what is more important, it will
give the boy or girl new interest in
the farm business. In addition the
patron of the school will be receiving,
monthly valuable information regard
ing his herd.
The apparatus necessary to make
the test Isl

pipette.
A supply of go per cent. pure
sulphuric acid.
A gallon kettle in which to
heat water.
] sample bottle for each COW.
This is only one of the many ways
In which the school can be of valuable
service to the community. While the
school is not in session, one of the
boys or girls may be engaged to make
the tests at home, and be paid a rea-
sonable amount for the service. Full
directions for testing milk for butter
fat will be sent on application to the
agricultural College. College Park.

There are good many interesting
points about lemons. There are sew
eral qualities that combine to make a
prime or fancy brand of lemons. A

a magnifying glass and you win see
that the little black specks on the lem

a curious fact is that as soon as the
lemon is cut from the tree these para

place near Naples. Italy. called Maori
The next in grade comes from Sor-
rent0. Those from Messina and Paler-
mo are about the same quality and

inferior The Maiori lemons are very
carefully cultivated. They are on the
trees even while the snow is still on
the ground, but are kept covered with
mating to protect them. not only from
the cold. but from the scorching rays
of the sun. They are nearly white
when picked, very graceful and regu-

IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOL
GROUNDS is VERY
DESIRABLE.

Maryland Agricultural College.
Many of our rural schoolhouses are
so situated that they wholly lack pro-
lection from inclement weather Con.
sequently, the teacher and pupils are
often subjected to trying conditions in
severe weather. When 1t is almost i'm.
possible to keep the building warm.
Not only are the winds of winter try.
ing, but those of spring are equally so,
while the intense rays of the summer
sun often have similar effect. By the
Iudicious planting of trees and shrubs
marked changes can be secured. The
severe winds will be checked from
striking the building, thus mitigating
the temperature to some extent In
spring the trees will give that refresh.
Ing shade so welcome at that season
of the year.
In addition to serving as protec-
ton and adding beauty to the school
grounds, such planting proves of great
educational value. BY planting and
caring for trees the children are given
some knowledge of tree culture, which
will prove useful in later years. The
writer will gladly cooperate with To-
cal teachers in planning school
grounds and selecting trees ana
shrubs.

PROFIT IN DAIRYING DE-
PENDS ON WISE FEEDING
siIage Or Legume Hay Needed In
Ration To Lessen Cost OF
Feeding.
G. E. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

During the summer months, when
COWS are on pasture, the dafryman is
not troubled with. the problem of sup
plying the herd with a ration which
will maintain the flow of milk and also
be economical
To the farmer who has loft full
Of alfalfa or clover, and silo full Of
silage, the problem is simple; he will
need comparatively little grain to
make balanced ration.
If cut fodder, alone is available for
roughage, it will be necessary to sup
ply large part Of the nutrients, re-
quired to maintain the production of
the herd, in the form of a grain mix
ture which will necessarily be ex-
pensive. This is the season when the
farmer realizes, more than ever that
silage and some legume hay are neces-
sary for the profitable production of
milk and butter. Two-thirds of the
nutrients required for a normal pro
duction can be supplied in the form
Of rough feed; but where neither silage
nor legumes are available two-thirds
of the daily feed must be supplied in
the form of grain. This necessitates
the purchase of large amounts of high
priced concentrates; which will make
the cost of production very high and
probably improbable.
In selecting the feeds for his grain
mixture the dairyman should choose
those that are to be had at the lowest
cost; and use only enough of each
so that the mixture will, when fed
with what roughage is available, sup
ply the nutrients that are required fol
a given production. This is a bal
anced ration.

Bartlesville, Okla, Aug .1.-Oklaho
ma bootleggers are dealt blow
which means the wiping out of joints
in eastern Oklahoma, by the announce
ment that the federal government will
no longer issue internal revenue
licenses. This means that the sale of
liquor on this side of the state will
resolve itself into "hip-pocket" af-
fair, as during the days of the In
dian Territory.
Internal revenue licenses have been
issued heretofore and federal officers
have been kept busy enforcing the
law against introducing. United
States Attorney Limbaugh, in ask
ing the department to cease issuing
internal revenue licenses declared it
is impossible to enforce the liquor
laws so long as licenses are issued.
The fight now will be centered in pre-
venting shipments of contraband whis-
key into eastern Oklahoma.

+. b. Howard, candidate for the
democratic nomination for state au
ditor, passed through Ardmore the
early part of last week on the final
trip of his campaign. He addressed
the citizens relative to his candidacy
but devoted the most of his speech
to praise of democracy and giving
to the voters facts anl figures on
state government in Oklahoma since
statehood, making a comparison with
the cost of state government in Kan
sas with that OF this state. He show
ed from the records that It had cost
eight million 1ollars Lio"e 10 run the
state government in Kansas during
the time Ot;ai!oms las na sta, ehood
than 1t has cost to run state govern
ment in democratic Oklahoma. He
called upon all democrats who believ-
ed in true democracy to stand by
him in his fight to build up the in
terests of democracy and closed this
part of his address by saying that
''the democratic party. which has sur
vived since the days of Jefferson
and is today putting men above the
dollar by enacting laws in favor of
the people under the leadership of
Bryan and Wilson, can, has and will
clean its own house whenever it be-
comes necessary"
Mr.. Howard is a student of state
government. He has given to the
people of Oklahoma honest, efficient,
and economical service during the
last three years; he has been espec-
tally trained for the position of state
auditor. He is man qualified to go
on the stump or with his pen to do
great work for democracy, and there
is little doubt but that democracy is
going to nominate him at the primar-
les on August 4.
