and vacancies as they may occur in
positions requiring similar qualifica-
tions, in the states of Wyoming and
Montana. For filling the vacancy
names above preference in certiica-
ton will be given to eligibles exam

national organizations, and the State
Fairs close touch with the breeders
Of the state make it the logical insti-
tuition to perform such a work. It is
the plan of the Fair this year to make
the dates of September 1925 a week
for the exhibition of the finest cattle
in the northwest at the Helena stock
show. The Fair has held that reputa-
ton in the past and as the stock ex-
hibits this year will excel those of
1914, the various superintendent are
planning adequately for a large show
ing.
Secretary Snelson recently received
received word from Harvey Griffin,
superintendent of swine, that the n
tries in that department would this
year climb above all records. On this
advice an addition to the swine barn
was ordered that will increase the pen
space one-third. Other improvements
are planned for horses, cattle, and
sheep by which accommodations for
the animals will be bettered. The
State Fair directors have emphatically
expressed themselves in favor of any
plan whereby the interests of the stock
men of the state will be taken into
broader consideration.

THE MUDDIEST OF RIVERS

The Missouri is the muddiest river
in the Mississippi valley; it carries
more silt than any other large river
in the United States except possibly
the Rio Grande and the Colorado.
For every square mile of country
drained it carries downstream 381
tons of dissolved and suspended mat
ter each year. In other words, the
river gathers annually from the coun-
try that it drains more than 123,000,-
900 tons of silt and soluble matter,
some of which it distributes over the
flood plains below to form productive
agricultural lands but most of which
finds it's way at last to the Gulf of
Mexico.
1t is by means of data of this kind
that biologists compute the rate at
which the lands are being eroded
away. It has been shown that Mis-
souri, River is lowering the surface of
the land drained by it at the rate of l
foot in 6,O36 years. The surface of the
United States as a whole is now being
worn down at the rate of / foot in
9,120 years. It has been estimated
that if this erosive action of the
streams of the United States could
have been concentrated on the 18TH
mus of Panama it would have dug in
70 days the canal which has just been
completed, after 10 years work, with
the most powerful Appliances yet de-
vised by man.

COMPLIES DIRECTORY

Helena, Montana, July 7th, 1915
Especially With the idea in view to
render some little service to the pure
bred stock owners, the poultry fanciers
and farmers of Montana, the Montana
State Fair has compiled a directory
In which are listed the names of all
pure bred livestock breeders, poultry
fanciers, and seed growers in the state.
There are 1854 M listed and this
is considered the most complete dir,
ectory of it's kind ever gotten out in
the state.

firmly tramped. Do not tramp the
outer layer at all. If possible, have
loads pitched from different sides Of
the stack to obtain more even tramp
ing.
From the bulge the stack should ia
per slowly to a point. This is done
by laying the bundles now with the
short side Of the slanting butt upper
most, gradually decreasing the diam
eter.
Keep the middle high and wen
tramped-so high that the beginner
will fear that outer layers will slide
off. Sometimes they will, but that is
better than having rain water soak in.
At the peak which should be 20 to
"a feet from the ground, the bundles
will overlap, and the cap sheaf should
be securely fastened by driving a g.
foot stake into the top Of the stack.
Stacks we'll built should shed water

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method is to
thrash directly from the shock. Thrash
when the grain is dry either before
OF after it has gone through the
sweat. If the grain is too dry, it
will crack badly in thrashing.
Wheat thrashed before sweating in
IN the bins, giving the grain a darker
and richer color. Grain that is thrash
ed when damp will sweat too much
and become hot and bin burnt. When
grain is stacked it should be allowed
to go through the sweat before thrash
ing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash
ing done more rapidly and economic
ally where a group of farmers can
own and operate a thrashing outfit
together.
See that the separator is we'll clean
ed before the thrashing is started, in
order to prevent the mixture of grain
and the scattering of weed seed from
the ~neighboring farms.
Watch carefully the working of the
machine to see that the grain is en-
tirely removed from the straw and
that the chaf is blown out.
Stack the straw, use it as feed OF
bedding for livestock, and so convert
it into manure.
