NEW YORK, April 2O.-The stock

its strength today, but wound up the
session not only with general ad-
vances, but with some more high rec.
ords for the current movement. This
was especially true OF Amalgamated

which made further spectacular gains.

In the final hour when all offerings

sharply under the lead of coppers,

A few of the leaders, like United

their best quotations OF the previous
day, but evidence of renewed interest
in this group was seen. When lower

THE SPRING CROPS,

To new settler, whether he is a
homesteader or has moved on an i'm.
proved farm, the question of what is
the best crop to seed is an important
one. One fact should be kept in mind,
viz: the spring crop that is sown
early, whether wheat, barley or oats,
always yields better than the one sown
late. This applies particularly to
wheat. which should be sown the first
thing in the spring. Any time after
March 25th it may be sown with safety
provided the land is in condition to
seed. While this is essentially fall
wheat section, nevertheless some
spring wheats may be sown for mar.
ket purposes where one has no fall
wheah sown and desires a market
crop. For this purpose we recommend
the Marquis or Durum. Scotch Fife is
sometimes sown, but this skaters
quite bit when allowed to become
overripe. In some sections where
there Is an abundance of irrigated land,

NEUTRAL STRIP
LANDENCLOSED

STRASSBURG, April 19-tCorre.
spondence of the Associated Press)
The most rigid steps have been
taken to separate neutral Switzerland
from Upper Alsace. Along the border
between the two, two ines of barbed-
wire fencing have been built, con-
stanty patrolled by soldiers with or
ders to shoot persons attempting to
get past.
The two fences. both of which. of
course, are on Alsatian territory, en-.
close a socalled neutral" strip of
land, into which only limited num-
Eer of persons with the proper papers
are allowed to enter at specified
times of the day. The soldiers are
ordered to shoot anyone who comes
within 20 yards of the oarbed wire.
Nothing may pass from north to
south, that is from Alsace to Switzer-
land. From 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., how.
ever, food from Switzerland may be
admitted into Alsace. The ssenders
must deposit it with the guards at
the barbed-wire nearest the Swiss
border, who in turn sent it on beyond
the parallel fence and distribute It
to the consignees. Attempts to
smuggie letters across are punishable
with DEATH

MANURE OUT OF PLACE.

A person travelling over the state,
having the pleasure of visiting the
barnyards of prominent farmers, will
be surprised to find that the manure
is kept where it should not be. The
more necessity there is for its being
out on the plowed land the more it
seems the farmer inusists on keeping
it in the barnyard.
In the mountain country where, be.
cause of decayed timber and other
growths, there is large amount of
organic matter in the soil, the neces.
sity for manure on the land is not so
imperative. But out in the short
grass country, where the soil has not
been made rich by thousands of years
of fine growths of grass which has de.
cayed and been incorporated in the
soil. there is very urgent need of the
manure being used. And from our OBJ.
servation the more urgent the need the
more extensive the neglect.
Get all the manure out on the land
you can this spring before the land is

HOW THEY TREAT
MISSIONARIES

LONDON, April 20-(Correspond.
ence of the Associated Prcss) .-"rhe
Turks so far have treated all the
foreign missionaries and business
people very handsomely" writes the
Rev. DR.. T. r. Hodgson, a British
missionary from Constantinople, de-
scribing the state of affairs in the
turkish capital. He continues:
We are perfectly well. comfortable
and happy-so far as circumstances
viii allow. Our most sincere recog.
n1tion is due to the courtesy of the
authorities here; the Turks not only
go out Of their way to be kind to us.
but have shown a delicacy of feeling
which does credit to their humanity.
Order has been strictly main.
tanned in this great city, and we and
our people have suffered not the
slightest molestation or trouble. Our
works proceeds as usual. We do not
know what day may bring forth,
Dut in the meantime our friends
should realize that we are really we'll
and contented, and that our conf
dence in the authorities has been
fully justified by the fact that our
doors have not been closed for a

Of INTEREST TO THE FARMERS

spring wheat may be sown. The lat
ter is adapted for feeding purposes.
Oats should be seeded Immediately
after wheat. There are instances
where oats have been sown as late as
the first of June, but under normal
conditions better results will be OBJ
tanned if they are sown during April or
early May. In most sections OF the
state where there is an abundance OF
moisture the Swedish select type does
well. Under typical bench land condi.
tions the Kherson and Sixty-day oats
yield better At the Moccasin expert
ment station the latter variety has out
yielded any other during the five-yeaI
test. Under most conditions about sc
pounds of oats seeded per acre give
the best results.
Barley should also be sown as early
as possible to get the best results. O1
the mailing varieties, the Odebruck
er, six-rowed variety, has given the
best results for dry-land conditions
The two-rowed varieties yield perhaps
better when irrigated. At the Moe
casin experiment station new malt
ing variety, White Smyrna, has given
best results during the past two years
For feeding purposes the bald and
hulless do we'll The blue or Guy
Maybe, another hulless barley, out
yielded the common bald, but the lat
ter is bearded. The only objection to
either of the two varieties is that the
heads are apt to fall off If allowed to
become overripe; hence they must be
cut at the proper time or the stock
should be allowed to CLEAN the stub
BILE field after harvest. For dry-land
conditions about five pecks of barley
should be seeded per acre. For irri
gated land, 100 to 12O pounds per acre
should be sown.
Flax may oftentimes be sown later
than other spring crops. but shoulG
not be sown later than May goth. A
month earlier is better. There is nc
spring crop better adapted to subduine
a heavy native sod, hence it fits well
as sod crop. To secure a good crop
a good seed-bed should be prepared
and IL to 20 pounds should be sown
per acre.
For the new conner the forage crop
is quite necessity, for one must have
at least enough forage for the work
horses and other livestock Under
good irrigation it is simple prob
lem, but on the bench-land it is diff
ferent For the homesteader on new
lands perhaps one of the best crops to
grow for hay the first year on sod is
bald barley, and in most sections corn
that will at least make good fodder
can be grown on sod. For irrigated
sections, oats and peas make a splen
did hay if sown early, seeding at the
rate of one bushel of peas and about
80 pounds of oats.-Carl H. Peterson

LEWrsToWh CREAMERY.

OF the Lewistown creamery the
Northwestern Stockman and Farmer
says:
The combination of a good man in
right surroundings spells success. A
little over year ago a creamery was
started at Lewistown. The gentleman
In charge is not very large man, but
he appears to be business from the
ground up. Within a year he has Sc
cured three hundred patrons for his
institution and is drawing cream to his
place from points eighty miles dis
tant. He is a Dane and his name is
William Castberg. He comes from a
section of the world where they un-
derstand dairying in all its details.
Problems in the conduct of any busi-
ness of a complicated character are
certain to arise In a new locality and
the Lewistown Creamery has had to
contend with the same difficulty that
has bothered other creameries in the
state. At some seasons of the year it
will be impossible to secure enough
cream to supply the demand. At 9th.
er seasons there will be surplus. At
the time of our visit the creamery was
making 375 pounds of butter day and
the price being paid for butter fat was
20 cents. In July last the creamery
made 21,000 pounds of butter and the
proprietor estimates that his produc.
tion in July of this year will approxi.
mate 10000 pounds. Last year he
shipped his surplus to Chicago. This
year he plans to store it.
With the business instinct that
prompts a man to make the best OF
conditions, Mr.. Castberg has gradual
ly added to his facilities this past win,
ter. having put in an ice-house and
having erected an addition to his plant
to be used for a cold storage room
Later on he plans to have this refrig.
Grated by the aid of an ammonia plant
He also contemplates putting in an
ice cream plant, there being now none
nearer than Great Falls. He also plans
to put in a plant to pasteuriZe his
cream this year. as in this way it will
be possible to make butter that will
keep for a longer period than a year
Seventy of the patrons of the institu
tion live near Lewistown and Mr.. Cast
berg has no difficulty in getting such
sweet cream as is necessary to fulfil
the demands for this product. A pc
culiarity of Mr.. Castberg's way of do
ing business is that he pays cash every
night for the delivery made to the in
stitution that day. Since June 10tf
last he has paid out over $45,00O ir
checks of less than ten dollars in each
payment. Surely an institution paying
SO much attention to the financial in
! terests of its patrons must be a splen
did thing for the city and the surround
ing country and we look to see it have
| a splendid growth.

over, put more manure on and disc
that in. In the short grass country,
in the sections where the soil is more
or less gumbo in character, on any
farm where the soil is close and COM
pact, organic matter is needed above
all things. And the farmer should get
it into his soil as quickly as he can.
Don't let the manure pile up around
the buildings. 1t is doing no good
there, get it out on your land. Get it
out now. 1t is of value to you, give il

BARLEY PRODUCES BEST PORK

IN Great Britain and northern Eu.
rope barley takes the place of corn for
pork production, leading all grains in
producing pork of fina quality, both as
to hardness and flavor. Considerable
study in the United States has been
made of the value of barley as pig
feed. and the results have shown that
it compares very favorably with corn,
but has a feeding value somewhat be.
low that of wheat. What this grain
may lack in feeding value, however, it
more than supplies in it's effect on the
carcass. AS a high-grade pig feed it
far surpasses any other for the pro.
duction of pork of the first quality in
regions where barley is produced
abundantly. Ground or rolled barley
is best fed in combination with wheat
