drilled in standing flax. Corn stalks
left standing are also good.
A recent object lesson showing the
value of underground sufficient to
catch and retain the snow. Just this
week we began excavating for a
church basement in Glasgow. The lots
on which the excavating is being done
we're covered with a very thick growth
of Russian thistle and other noxious
weeds. The early SHOWS formed lodg-
ment in this bed Of thistles and be-
fore cold freezing weather the ground
was protected. The result is that the
ground covered by this underground
is not frozen to exceed three inches.
On one small corner where some sweet
corn and cabbage grew the ground is
frozen from 8 to IA inches, however,
this ground has had a light covering
Of snow. 1t will pay any farmer to
give the fall planting a test, as here
in suggested.
Instead of cutting your last crop Of
alfalfa, if you will let it stand so that
there is sufficient growth to retain
the snow Alfalfa will not winter kill.
We have prepared this article trust
ting that it may prove Of some benefit
to those who depend on dry farming.

LOVELY DAY FOR A WAR

Aunt Mary is the best old soul
you'll meet in many a day. She's
tended to her knitting in the good
old-fashioned way. She never CABS
nor gossips, she has no time to CAD
and she seldom reads the papers,
cause she says, they make her sad.
She drove to town this afternoon, to
shop around a bit and Wilbur Jones
the grocery man, invited her to sit.
Says he "Ain't this war awful?" and
Aunt Mary says "My land!" aint
heard a word about it, amt ever
heard no band" And Jones says
"Sure, old England and France and
Russia. too are a fighting with the
Kaiser.-why, it's worse than '62.'
Aunt Mary answered sweetly, as she
started on her way, "Well they've
got nice weather for it, cause it's jest
a lovely day .?"-Ei M:[ntyre.

service in July, 1914; 100000 more will
be supplied by the combined classes
in 1915 and 1917. Gerrnany's losses in
the first six months may be estimxted
at 100000. At this rate, 100000
will be removed permanently from the
German lines in each of the first two
years of war. Thus, at the opening
of the third, Germany will still have
5000, 900 men to draw on. But her
losses thereafter will be definite be-
cause she will have exhausted her re-
serve. As to Austria. she has lost
more than 100000 already in her
many disasters. She may still have
1000, 900 in the field, but a year hence,
two years hence, she can hope nc more
and her too, will be COM
pletely exhausted.
Thus, as the third year of the war
opens not more than 1000 900 Austro-
Germans, the last line, will confront
6,OOO, 900 Russians, British and French
helped by some hundreds of thousands
of Slavs and Belgians, behind whom
will stand Russian and British re-
serves of at least 4,000,00O This
means with every discount for the
roughness of the estimate, that SOME
time in the third year, while Russia
and Britain are still able to keep their
armies at their present point. Austro-
German forces will begin to decline
rapidly and a tremendous advantage
of numbers will belong to the enemies
of Germany. Such is the statement
of what may be called the mathema5-
les of murder.
For Americans it will be interesting
to recall that this is precisely what
happend to the south in the third
year of the civil war.

DRY LAND ALFALFA

DRY LAND ALFALFA
The growing Of alfalfa in rows is
rapidly on the increase in those re-
gions of the state which have less
than Is inches Of rainfall, according
to M. L. Wilson Of the State College
Extension Department. The expert
ence Of large numbers of homestead
ers and farmers and experimental
tests have proven the superiority of
this method of culture over the or
binary method of thick seeding. AL
falfa, like other plants, requires con-
siderable quantities Of water for nor
NAL and luxuriant growth. Under ir-
rigation the number of plants upon
a given area is limited only by the
plant food and the soil conditions
under which they grow. On the
other hand, on the dry farm the lin
iting factor is moisture. Therefore
in planting alfalfa for dry land cul-
ture it is necessary that there be only
plants enough to utilize the normal
rainfall. The Dickinson North De-
kota) Experiment Station found the
best number to be approximately S
per square yard, under their condi-
tions.
The best varieties of alfalfa for
planting are those which belong tc
the Media group, having branching
roots, underground, crown and flow
ers which are variegated in color.
These alfalfas withstand the severe
winter conditions of Canada and the
northern states, consequently the
seed of those varieties is very high
in price and will continue to I've SO
for many years to come.
The best distance apart for rows
has been found to be about 3 feet 6
inches. About one pound of seed is
sufficient to plant an acre but in or
der that the seed be evenly distribut-
ed it is necessary that it be mixed
with some inert, diluting substance
such as screened slack Ignite coal,
baked millet seed, cracked wheat,
ETC., however, seed may be planted
with a hand garden drill adjusted for
seeding onions. In planting the d.

NOW IS TIME TO SWAT FLY

Uncle Sam is waging a relentless
war on the deadly house-fy and in a
late bulletin prepared by the depart
ment of agriculture, valuable informa-
ton is given on the best means Of
combating this deadly pest. The
most effective way of discriminating
the fly, according to the bulletin, is
to eradicate his breeding places. The
breeding season of the fly begins
early in March and continues through
out the spring and summer months.
All diet should be removed from the
premises, stables cleaned and decay
ing vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called the
undertaker's travelling salesman, and
in addition to his regular line OF
typhoid bugs, he carries a side line
of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and
other disease germs. Now is the
time to "swat the fly.

MATHEMATICS OF WAR

Assuming that the European war
may be in progress for three years or
more, a writer in the New York Sun
reviews the of the several
nations that must maintain armies in
the field. His conclusions indicate an
enormous strain upon combatants
that will find it necessary to supply
fighting men in sufficient numbers to
avert defeat.
1t seems fair to estimate that Ger
many has now in the field 1900, 900
men, France 1000 900, Austria 1,000,-
900, Russia 5000 900, England at no
distant date will have 100000 on
the continent. Servia and Belgium
may be reckoned to have 100000.
Now as far as Russia is concerned
her supply of men is for any ordinary
calculation inexhaustible. That she
can keep her European force at 3,000,-
900 for three years, despite battle loss
es is hardly debatable. As to Eng
land, her ability to maintain an army
of 1000, 900 on the continent indefinite
ly and despite losses is equally to be
accepted. 1t is different with France.
Her available military population may
be reckoned at 4,000,0 90. Of this she
has already lost 100000 by death,
capture, disease or wounds. Half Of
this number may be reckoned as per-
manently lost. At this rate France
will be reduced at the opening of the
third year of war to 1000 600. With
her allies she will then have 10000 0
men. But her losses in this year can
not be made good, save by the new
class coming to the colors in 1917 and
levies from her colonies.
Now Germany may be reckoned to
have had 100000 men available for

AN OBJECT LESESON
FOR FARMERS

Since coming to Montana the writer
has had opportunity to contrast the
different methods of farming, spring
and fall planting, the advantages and
disadvantages and why.
In northern Montana we have seen
wheat sown in the spring, which at
threshing time averaged from three
to five bushels per acre, while wheat
sown in the fall and on adjoining land
averaged from rs to IS bushels per
acre.
The secret of this exceptionally large
Weld is not difficult of solution. Late
in the summer flax was sown too
late to mature but early enough to adj
nit a good healthy growth. sufficient
to produce a strong stalk. Then early
in the fall, wheat was drilled in the
standing flax, before freezing weather,
the wheat covering the ground with
a green sword, the early snowfall
lodged in the standing flax and form
ed a covering for the wheat. Later
SHOWS would bend down the stand
ing flax and the covering was sufic-
lent to protect the wheat from winter
killing.
Frequently wheat drilled in stub

suits but not so satisfactory as which
