TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
u. S. Department Of Agriculture Is
Preparing Standard for Northwest Grain

According to Professor Alfred At
kinson of Bozeman, who has just re-
turned from Washington, d. c., the
United States department of agricul-
ture is now formulating grain stan
dards for the northwestern states,
which will become authoritative in
Montana, with regard to all grains
in interstate commerce. Authority
to make such standards was granted
by congress last August and it is
expected that when established and
in operation under competent inspec-
tors, that much of the former diff
Guilty as to grading that has arisen
between buyers and sellers will be
prevented.
No industrial controversies have
been more bitter in recent years than
these between the grain growers and
the grain buyers at the terminal mar
kets. 1t has been repeatedly charged
that the buyers made immense profits
by purchasing great quantities OF
grain which they insisted was low
grade and subsequently selling it as
high grade grain. The present law
Is welcomed by the buyers and sellers
as settling a long drown out dispute.
Prof. Atkinson says that tn stand
ards will soon be ready for publica-
ton and that they involve no resolu-
tionary features, but are rather based

Big Crop OF Liscomb
Alfalfa Seed Producer
q Bought By Seed Firm

Helena.-The State Nursery &
Seed Co. reports the purchase of the
entire crop of one of the largest and
Oldest producers in Montana of the
"Liscomb'' variety of alfalfa seed.
This strain is undoubtedly of the
same origin as the Grimm, and ac-
cording to the Minnesota agricultural
sation reports it can not be detected
from it. This firm also reports an
unusually large number of enquiries
from the northwest for high grade
alfalfa and grass seeds, and antici-
pates an early clearance of many
stocks which in the higher grades are
of necessity limited in quantity.

Mr. Hummelbaugh explained.

sues of fowls and robs them of their
delicate flavor.
"People often complain of chicken,
claiming that it has no flavor. These
tasteless fowls are ones that have
met tragic ends and died in excite

"I have invented what I term a
turkey killer. 1t is simply a trough
with a steel tread with one end of it

joyously, for he sees ahead of him

HOG CHOLERA AND
HOW TO TREAT IT
MEANS TO ADOPT TO PROVIDE
AGAINST INFECTION; TREAT
MENT OF THE DISEASE
How to Disinfect the Premises; While
Montana Is Practically Free of
Cholera, Breeders Should Take Ev-
cry Precaution to Prevent Disease
From Getting Started.

While Montana is now practically
free from hog cholera outbreaks have
occurred in the past and undoubtedly
will occur in the future. Outbreaks
are most likely to occur during the
fall and early winter months and
hog raisers should take every precau-
ton at this time to prevent the dis
ease from getting started in their
herds. Should cholera appear prompt
and energetic measures are necessary
if even a part of the herd is to be
saved. The following rules contain
in condensed form the most up-to-
date information concerning the pre-
vention and treatment of hog cholera.
To Keep Cholera out of the Herd.
Locate your hog lots and pas
lures away from streams and public
highways, and do not allow the hogs
to run free range.
2.-Do not visit your neighbor or
allow him to visit you, if either of
you has cholera on your premises.
ises.
3.-Do not drive into hog lots
when returning from market or after
driving on public highways.
4.-Do not use hog lots for yard
ing wagons and farm implements.
5.-Do not place newly purchased
stock, stock secured or loaned for
breeding purposes, or stock exhibited
at county fairs with your herd. Keep
such stock quarantined at least two
weeks, and use care to prevent carry
ing infection from these to other
pens in feeding and attending stock.
6.-Burn all ashes or cover with
quicklime and bury under four feet
of earth all dead animals and the Wis
cera removed from animals at but
cheering time. They attract the atten-
ton of magpies, dogs, etc., which are
liable to carry hog cholera infection.
7.-Confine your dogs and do not
keep pigeons unless you conf'ne
them.
If Hog Cholera Appears.
Treat your hogs Immediately with
anti-hog-cholera serum, after which
they should be keep on a light diet
and pure drinking water and con-
fined to limited quarters that may be
cleaned daily and sprayed three times
a week with a one part of compound
cresol solution to 80 parts of water
until the disease has abated in the
herd. To obtain the best results the
serum must be administered before
the disease has progressed in the
herd.
To Rid Premises of Infection.
Remove all manure and saturate
with quicklime.
Burn all litter, rubbish, and old
hog troughs.
After the premises are thoroughly
cleaned, spray walls, floors, and 9th
err surfaces with disinfectant Il part

small, turn them over, exposing in.
terror to sunlight.
Wallow holes and cesspools should
be cleaned and disinYected and then
boarded up.
Destroy hogs that do not fully re-
cover, as they may be carriers Of
cholera infection.

BLIGHT IS
MONTANA'S PEST
DESTROYS THOUSANDS OF TREES
in THE STATE EVERY YEAR;
CAUSES MANY FAILURES.
Can Be Fought Best in Winter When
Blight Appears in Your Trees.
Use the Knife and Cut Away Parts
Affected; Use Corrosive Sublimate
as Disinfectant.

Apple blight is undoubtedly the
greatest enemy of the apple industry
in Montana. Each year it DESTROYS
thousands of valuable trees and it is
a factor which may in a years time
transform a profitable and prosperous
orchard venture into a dismal failure
Blight is a bacterial disease which
affects the leaves and bark, causing
the former to wilt. and turn brown
and the bark to become blush black
at first and later to shrivel and dry
up. The disease passes the winter
in what are known as 'hold over
.cankers," which are situated in that
part of the branch where the diseased
bark joins the healthy tissue.
Use the Knife.
The only known successful method
of fighting this disease is that of sur
gery-cutting out and burning all af-
fected parts of the tree. The easiest
and best time to do this is during
the late fall and winter months be-
cause the affected branches can then
be more readily seen and the disease
is in a dormant condition. It seems
simple to say that the only way to
cure a blighted tree is to cut out and
burn affected parts, but there are I'm
portant details that determine be-
tween success and failure. The fol-
lowing rules should be thoroughly
mastered and religiously followed:
See that no blight is allowed to
winter over in the trees. The most
effective time of the year to cut it
out is late fall or early winter, though
summer cutting may also be done.
2.-During the dormant season the
blighted branch should be cut off at
least a foot below any visible portion
of the diseased bark; in summer two
three feet below. Even if this
necessitates cutting off a larger limb
1t should be done.
Disinfect Cuts
3.-After each cut the saw or
shears must be disinfected. The dis
infectant can best be carried in a
milk bottle attached to a belt and
can be applied with a swab. Small
sublimate tablets (four to a
pint of water) make an excellent dis
i%nfectant. A five per cent solution
of carbolic acid is also good.
4.-Burn all diseased parts
promptly after cutting.
5.-Inspect every tree carefully
the orchard has been gone over.
Even an expert bligh, cutter has to
do this two or three times to get
every holdover canker and a canker
or two left may ruin the whole cam
paign by starting the blight the next
spring. Another and final reinspec-
ton should always be made Just be-
fore the buds open in the spring.

on the accepted usage of conservative
authorities. Under the new system,
when grain has been graded and the
grade duly made know by a licensed
inspector at the place of production,
that grade will hold at the terminal

Ice Harvested Cheaply.

Mr.. Conway purposes to construct
and equip the lines and then turn
over the entire stock and the man
agement to the farmer patrons and
stockholders, who will constitute the
several company organizations.
Roughly estimated, the cost of es-
t%ablishing and equipping a line is
$50 a mile and unless there is at
least one patron and subscriber for
each mile the work will not be I'M
dertaken, said Mr.. Conway.
The cost of maintenance and use
for each subscriber is figured at
about SIS per year. Contributors
to the construction cost will own all
of the stock and will, through their
board of directors, the man
agement and will be entitled to the
profits.

ICE NECESSARY
FOR DAIRYMEN
COST OF COOLING is ABOUT
HALF CENT PER POUND OF
BUTTER PRODUCED.
Government Estimates That 1000
Pounds of Ice Should Be Put UP
for Each Cow, Which Allows Fifty
Per Cent for Shrinkage; Ice q
Cheap Harvest,

On many Montana dairy farms ma
tural conditions are such that an ice
pond could be constructed at a very
small cost. Where this is possible an
ice crop should by all means be har-
vested and stored for summer use.
The Importance of a good supply
of ice on the dairy farm is recognized
by all progressive dairymen because
of the fact that first class cream can
be produced in summer only when it
is quickly and thoroughly cooled. All
creamery men realize the Importance
of obtaining good a material and
this is a good time to call the atten-
ton of the patrons to the necessity
of ice for the production of first class
cream. AS the quality of cream de-
livered determines TO a certain ex-
tent the prices paid for it, a farmer
"a well afford to provide sufficient
ice to enable him to cool his cream
properly throughout the summer.
Half Ton for Each Cow.
In an article on cream grading"
published in the year book of the
department of agriculture 1t is shown
that in the northern states 500
pounds of ice annually will properly
cool the cream from each animal in
a 20 COW dairy but it recommends the
storing of 1000 pounds of ice for
each COW to allow for shrinkage and
for household uses, or ten tons for
a herd Of 20 lows. Investigation has
shown that the average ice house
costs less than $50 and that the cost
of harvesting and storing ice seldom
exceeds me dollar a ton. On this
basis the cost of sufficient ice to cool
from 20 cows would not exceed

How the Banana Tree Grows.

How the Banana Tree Grows.
If good sized, healthy banana tree
is cut off a few feet above the ground
during the wet season the tree will not
die, but nine times out Of ten will send
up a new shoot from the center of the
trunk and will grow fast enough to
make up for lost time, for within forty
eight hours it will rear waving green
leaves triumphantly above the severed
trunk
The secret lies in the fact that the
trunk of banana tree is not hard and
woody like other trees, but is really
composed Of undeveloped leaves wrap
ped tightly together in spiral form.
When the tree grows these rolled up
leaves push upward and merely un-
roll. Thus no time is lost in forming
buds and growing leaves, as do ordi-
nary trees. When the trunk is cut of
it does not interfere with the growth
Of the leaves, because they are always
pushing up from the center Of the
stalk Although the banana tree re-
pairs an injury SO rapidly and well, the
shoot formed from the cut stalk sell
dom bears fruit or f1owers.-St. Nicho-
