Half Million Cars Needed For
1914 Crop.

Investigations by the department of
agricultural Office of markets indicate
that shippers and carriers are cooper
ating more closely this year to avert a
car shortage in the movement of the
country's $50, 600 900 bushels estima-
ted wheat yield.
While it would take 524, 900 cars to
move the entire estimated production.
only about 50 per cent. of the crop
usually is shipped out of the country
where it is grown. On that basis it
would require approximately 423 900
cars to carry this seasons shipments.
IL is the concensus of opinion that the
increase in car supply does not keep
pace from year to year with increasing
need for cars. The department. says
that with the indications this year for
heavy crop of corn and oats, the
movement of those commodities will
still further complicate the situation
as regards wheat.

Federal Help for Montana

F. s. Cooley, director of agricultur-
al extension service of the Montana
Agricultural College, who is in Wash
ington, d. c., in conference with Of
hcials of the U. s. Dept. of Agricul-
ture, writes that upwards of $16, 200
has been secured for the next two
years for agricultural extension ser
vice in Montana. This is in addition
to the Smith-Lever appropriation Of
$4,000, increasing gradually to $780,
600 annually for extension service,
as has been already noted.
Four branches Of work are contem-
plated under this new appropriation.
First, the extension of county agri-
cultural demonstrations already be-
gun; second, the creation Of separ-
ate branch Of boys and girls club
work, with superintendent devoting
entire time to it; third, the forma-
ton of farm efficiency department
to cooperate with farmers in making
farms more profitable; and fourth,
the Inauguration of co-operative dairy

Ger in charge. -~i 1w.H. 01

How About Selling Cream?

A correspondent asks the following
questions about marketing cream:
In selling cream, about what test
is most profitable to the farmer, and
why?
A test from 80 per cent to IS per
cent is considered a good test. Any
separator will skim thoroughly at
that per cent if properly run. By
skimming rich cream it will leave
more skim milk on the farm for feed
ing purposes and also save transport
ing so much skim milk TO and from
the factory. A 5-gallon can of 35 per
cent cream will contain about 14.5
pounds of butter fat and 27.5 pounds
of skim milk, while 5-gallon can of
20 per cent cream will contain about
s.4 pounds of butter fat and 80 5
pounds of skim milk.
When selling to local dealer would
1t be necessary to have a tester at
home, or can you give me sufficient
information regarding the testing so
L may know when it is tested correct
ly? }''..
There is no reliable way for a farm
Ell to tell what his cream will test ex-
cept by means of the Babcock tester.
AS compared with present prices,
how much should a. farmer get for
butter fat? t... r... ....'
That will depend much upon, his
local market, which varies greatly.
AT present, July 1914, farmer should
get at the creamery from % to p
cents per pound of butter fat if the
cream is first grade. .'"'
Does cream test any more when
it is sweet than when sour? Why?
Often sweet cream will test higher
owing to the fact that a more uniform
sample can be taken from the can
when making the test. The souring
of the cream will not otherwise at
feet the percentage of test.
AS we have to almost give cream
and butter away, can you suggest any
plan for better market; that is for
a first-class product?
II one does not have access to an
ice-cream or cheese factory, the best
plan is to have the cows freshen in
October SO they will give their largest
How during the season of highest
prices. The cows can then be dry
during the hot summer months when
prices of dairy products are always
low.-G. l.. Martin, Dairy Husband

Government Aids Homesteaders.

Joseph Binnard, register of the
Helena land Office, has received the
communication from Commissioner
Clay Tallman, concerning an act re-
Gently passed by Congress, in which
it specifies that homestead entry
woman may get married and choose
to live on either one Of the homesteads
without jeopardizing their right to
the homestead which they have Eva
Gated. The ruling made by the COM
missioner with reference to the act is
as follows:
1.-The act applies to claims initiated
before or after it's date and to become
entitled to it's benefits, it is required
that each of the parties shall have
complied with the requirements Of
the homestead laws for not less than
one year next preceding their mar
riage. Where the parties or either of
them are entitled to credit for such
compliance prior to entry, that time
may be counted in making up the pc
Rod of one year, and it follows that
neither of the entries need be one
year old at the time Of marriage.
1.-The law confers upon the husband
the privilege of selecting on which
of the two entries the family shall re-
side. His election must be supported
by the affidavits Of both parties, des-
cribing their entries and showing the
facts as to residence, cultivation and
improvements already had in connec-
ton Herewith. Only in cases where
the tracts involved are situated in
different districts will it be necessary
that the election and affidavits be ex-
ecuted in duplicate; the copies of all
papers must be filed in each office.
1.-The local officers will make due
notation of the filing of the election
ON their records as to the entry, or
entries within their district and will
at once for ward the papers with their
recommendations to the general land
office which will promptly pass upon
the question of accepting the election.
Tho the election be accepted, proof
of the entries will be submitted sep
:arately as in other cases; it will be
necessary to show residence on the
selected homestead from approximate
ly the date of the election, and on the
entries of the respective parties be-
fore said date. The act makes no
provision as to cultivation and COM
pliance with the homestead law in
this regard must be shown as to each
entry, precisely as though the mar
riage had not taken place.
IF proof is made on the entry Tse-
lected as the home before title toTthe
other is earned, residence may never
theless be continued on the perfected
entry and credited to the other. How
ever, the act has no application to
cases where the requirements of law
have been fulfilled as to one entry
prior to the marriage or to the filing
of the election"

Major Miller is a Missourian by

He has lived in this county over a

Back in the days of the silver ex-
element when the hills and valleys
Of Nevada echoed and reckoed the
slogan uf 16 to l, he was elected
county treasurer by the silver party
and served One term. When the
silver party died he renewed bis
allegiance to the democratic party
and has since fought under its
banner. Four years ago he was
elected county treasurer and re-
elected in 1912. Today.he tells the
democrats of the county that he
wants their support for another
term.
His official record is too we'll
known to need extended comment.
He attends strictly to his duties and
accounts for every cent that passes
through his hands into the treasury
of the county. While he holds the
