War Bureau Urges
Ten-FoOt Channel in
The Missouri River

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17-continuance
of the ten-year project for permanent
six-foot channel in the Missouri river
from its mouth to Kansas City, despite
an adverse report Of the district engineer
in charge, was recommended to congress
today by the war department.
The board of engineers overruled the
district engineer. who recommended that
the project, begun six years ago. be modi-
fled to provide only for removal of snags
on the ground that commerce did not
warrant a permanent channel. The pro-
ject involves expenditures of 10000, 600
OF which $6.25o,OoO has ben appropriated.
Modification OF the present project for
improving the Arkansas river. so that II
will embrace only removal Of snags from
the mouth to Ozark at $4,000 annually,
was recommended by the department.

DETERMINE AGE OF CATTLE
Fairly Accurate Idea May Be Had by
Observing Teeth-Time OF APP
pearance Of Incisors.

The calf when born has two pair of
incisors, the other two pair appear
during the first month. When calf
is eighteen months old, it loses the
middle pair of milk incisors, and
grows a permanent pair. The next
pair. one on each side, is replaced at
twenty-seven months of age, the third
pair at thirty-six months, the fourth
or outside pair, at forty-dve months.
The time of appearance of these in
cisors varies within rather narrow
limits, so that we are able to tell the
age of young cattle. fairly accurately.
The calf also has temporary set
of molars, which are later replaced
with permanent ones, but they are not
considered in estimating the age OF
the animal.

SELECTION OF BREEDING SOW
Animal Should Be Pick of Litter and
Possess Advantages of Good
Breeding-other Points.

Now is the best time to select your
breeding SOW from the early spring
filters. In selecting. her there are
several points to be kept in view. She
should be the pick of the litter, should
have the advantages of good breeding,
not necessarily of pure breeding.
She should have full complement
of teats, say twelve to fourteen, else
she will be unable to suckle big
farrow The little one which has not
a teat to himself soon dies. She
should be a kind feeder, not fastidi-
Gus in her appetite, and she should
possess a happy disposition, for bad
temper leads to the destruction of
many little ones. She should be kept
growing, but not too fat, and bred at
about five months old.

more men buy a bull together, they
may be able to get a better bull than
either would own Individually and
still have money to buy females.
There are other advantages, one OF
which is that the more daughters a
bull may have the better he may be
judged as a sire. In the case of men
who are doing official test work this
has considerable advertising value.
Another advantage is that when diff
ferent neighbors watch the growth of
their neighbors' calves and young
stock they will try not to let the other
fellows stock get the start Of theirs.
This will result in better growth and
better developed cattle.
To show that practice what l
preach / will say / have only one cow
in my herd that was sired by bull
owned exclusively by myself. At
present l have breeding interest in
three different bulls that have used
in the last year. This would seem
to indicate that I intend to cooperate
with my neighbors.
| believe that the greatest advan-
tage of community breeding will re-
suit from friendly rivalry in the grow
ing and development of the stock, and
then from good team work in the sell
ing of the same.

GREEN PASTURAGE FOR HOGS
Common and Practical Experience In
dictates Beyond Doubt That Pas
turing Brings Best Results.

The hog is naturally grazing ami
NAL, but his digestive organs were not
intended to handle dry fodder. AS a
matter of fact hog will eat but little
dry hay unless driven to it by hunger,
whereas he eats green pasturage raw
enously
The green alfalfa digests much more
readily than the dry hay without a
doubt and likewise, on account of its
succulence, has a more beneficial eff
feet upon the hogs system.
Common and practical experience
indicates beyond all doubt that pas
turing brings better results. How
ever, where alfalfa or other pasturage
is not available, good results often OBJ
tain by allowing hogs, and especially
brood sows, to eat as much as they
will of good legume hay.

fere with that operation. But the
grower should realize that he is,
in effect, following a system of double
cropping and that because of the in
terplanted crop he may need to give
more attention to the maintenance of
the fertility of the soil than he would
for the peaches alone.
After the trees reach bearing age,
they should not be made. to COM
pete with another crop Even if there
is sufficient plant food in the soil
to produce successfully two crops at
the same time, the peach trees will
usually need all of the available soil
moisture, except, of course, in Sec
tons where irrigation is practiced
and there is an adequate supply Of wa
ter for all purposes. Besides, an
interplanted crop would be likely to
interfere with the spraying of the
trees, if that operation should be nee
essary, with the harvesting of the
fruit and in other ways.

as an interplanted crop, especially
where apples comprise the permanent
crop. This practice is both highly
recommended and emphatically con-
demned by fruit growers of wide ex.
perience. 1t is probably Objectionable
in that for a period of years both
bearing and nonbearing trees occupy
the same area, and it is sometimes de-
sirable to treat fruiting tree very
differently from one that is not fruit
ing, for the best results with each.
On the other hand, when a site is
particularly favorable for both fruits,
a compromise treatment can often be
effected, which yields fairly satisfac-
tory results with both kinds of trees.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The growing of some annual crop
between the trees during the first two
or three seasons following the plant
ing of an orchard, as an aid in meet
ing the cost of maintenance during
the unproductive age Of the trees, is
frequently regarded by the grower as
an economic measure. This practice
is seldom, if ever, any advantage to
the trees in comparison with thorough
tillage by itself, but if interplanted
crops are wisely selected and proper
ly managed with respect to their re-
lation to the trees, they are not like
ly to result in any serious harm.
A considerable range of choice may
be exercised by the grower as to what
crops may be used. The relative mar
ket value of different crops should, Of
course, govern the selection to some
extent. 1t should always be seen, how
ever, that whatever is chosen must
not interfere with any of the opera
tions required in the development of
the trees.
Muskmelons, beans, peas, cabbages,
tomatoes and other truck crops are ex-
tensively grown in this way in differ
ent sections. Potatoes are sometimes
used, but they are suitable only when
the crop can be so managed that the
digging of the potatoes will not
amount to a late cultivation, which
may be attended with undesirable re-
suits. Corn, also, is frequently used,
but as very often managed it is OBJ
jectionable, because it shades the
trees excessively. Whenever corn is in
terplanted, an open strip of consid-
cradle width should be left along the
rows, so that the trees will be fully
exposed to the sunlight throughout the
season. If a very tall, strong growing
variety of corn is used, wider strip
should be left implanted than where
a dwarf variety is selected.
The interplanted crop ought to be
one which needs essentially the same
tillage that the peach trees should
have. Where this is the case, the Sec
ondary crop does not seriously inter-

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR scoURs
Good Dose of Castor Oil viii Relieve
Young Pigs-Cause of Trouble
Is Indigestion.

The cause of scours is indigestion,
which often is caused by the young
pigs eating some of the food fed to
the mother or picked up from another
source. This undigested food causes
fermentation and the formation of
foul gases and the irritation of stom-
ach and bowels.
A good remedy is to give each pig
a dessertspoonful of castor oil, which
will clean out the stomach and bow
els, and if the scours continue after
the oil has operated, give each one
five drops each of tincture of opium
and spirits of camphor, and ten drops
tincture of catechu at a dose in a
tablespoonful of water Repeat every
three hours until scours stop.

USE FOR A HAND SEPARATOR
Less Work Necessary in Handling
Milk With Device Than Without
Machine Saves Waste.

A hand separator saves all waste OF
butterfat. What is the use of feeding
cows good corn, hay and other stuff
that costs money and then allowing
the product to go to waste?
Less work is necessary to handle
milk with the separator than without,
because there are fewer utensils to be
used and the skim milk may be fed to
the pigs and calves and chickens at
once, and does not have to be handled
again.
Forty or fifty dollars will buy good
separator, big enough for a herd of
four or five COWS, and it will save it's
cost the first year. If properly cared
for, a separator is good for ten years.
The cream from a separator will
bring more money because it is uni
form in richness, and is sweeter be-
cause, as it is separated while the milk
is warm and fresh, it does not absorb
odors as it would If left standing
around.
The separator saves hauling milk to
the creamery !. and then hauling the
skim milk back to the farm. Then
skim milk hauled any considerable dis
lance becomes cold and sometimes
dirty and tainted and not fit to feed.
If farmer has ten or more cows he
will require a larger separator-one
that will handle say $50 pounds of milk
in about fifteen minutes, and he then
should have a small gasoline engine to
do the work. 1t is quicker and cheaper
than hand power.

COOPERATION ALONG RIGHT LINES.

Four years ago D. W.. Davis, president of the First Ma
tional Bank, introduced a plan of cooperating with the
farmers of the county in it's development which might
be followed with advantage by other institutions of a
like kind. Instead Of continuing the policy Of presenting
his farmer-patrons with calendars or something equally
of little consequence to them, he decided to give them
something which he believed might aid them in their task
Of subduing the desert. He concluded that a good farm
paper would more nearly meet this requirement than
anything else within reach. Taking into consideration
conditions as they then existed, he concluded that the
weekly Portland Oregonian, which was putting out an
excellent farm section was particularly suitable and
he sent one to each farmer who did business with the
bank, and there were about five hundred of them. The
following year, 1913, he continued the Oregonian to an
even larger number. During 1914 the Oregonian was re-
placed by the Western Farmer. This year the Rural
Spirit Of Portland was chosen. Arrangements have just
been made with the Gem State Rural, which is treating
subjects Of particular interest to Idaho farmers, and from
now until January l, 1917, Power county farmers who
do business with the First National Bank will receive
this paper without cost to them. The policy is one condu-
Give of much good, which is reflected in the development
that has taken place.
