TREASURE STATE FARM AMID 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. It 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 long drown out dispute.
Prof. Atkinson says that tb stand
ards will soon be ready for publica-
tion and that they involve no resolu-
tionary features, but are rather based

FOWLS KILLED BY
ELECTRICITY SAID
TO BE TOOTHSONfE.

Electricity can solve the turkey
problem this year, according to Jesse

delicacy than the juciest turkey, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hummelbaugh.
"Science has proved that emotions
like fear. jealousy, envy and melan-
choly, poison the system of man,"
Mr. Hummelbaugh explained.
ANY death that is preceded by a
period of fear changes the very It's

delicate flavor.
"People often complain of chicken,
claiming that 1t has no flavor. These
tasteless fowls are ones that have

turkey killer. It is simply trough

APPLE BLIGHT IS
M0NTANA'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 profitable and prosperous
orchard venture into a dismal failure.
Blight is 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 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:
1.-See that no blight is allowed to
winter over in the trees. The most
effective time of the year to cut II
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 al
least foot below any visible portion
of the diseased bark; in summer two
or three feet below. Even if this
necessitates cutting off larger limt
it should be done.
Disinfect Cuts
3.-After each cut the saw OF
shears must be disinfected. The dis
infectant can best be carried in 8
milk bottle attached to a belt anC
can be applied with swab. Small
corrosive sublimate tablets (four to E
pint of water) make an excellent dis
infectant. A five per cent solution
of carbolic acid is also good.
4.-Burn all diseased parts
promptly after cutting.
5.-Inspect every tree CAREFUL,

Big Crop Of L;scon,b
Alfalfa Seed Producer
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.

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 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
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.

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-

$50 mile and unless there is at
least one patron and subscriber for
each mile the work will not be un-
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

The department has already issued
rules and regulations covering much

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 a
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 raw 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-
1ivered determines TO q certain ex-
tent the prices paid for it, a farmer
can we'll 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 it is shown
that in the northern states 500
pounds Of ice annually will properly
cool the cream from each animal In
q 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 cows. Investigation has
shown that the average ice house
costs less than $50 and that the cost
Of harvesting and storing ice seldom
exceeds one dollar ton. On this
basis the cost Of sufficient ice to cool
cream from 20 cows would not exceed

Ice Harvested Cheaply.

Ice Is harvested at season When
most dairymen have some leisure
time so that the actual amount of
money expended for this purpose is
very small. No producer of milk or
cream in sections where ice can be
easily obtained should be without it.

edge of ice-house construction should

ture and ask for Farmers Bulletin

Speculative Influences Were Again Up-

New York Oct. 18.-Speculative in f1uences were again uppermost in to- days broad and active market, a large part of the trading being restricted to specialties of a volatile character and low priced rails and industrials whose status remains more or less unde- fined. Chief among these were the paper leather and fertilizer stocks, which were unusually active at gains of 2 to points. Other strong shares included United States Industrial AL cohol which led the specialties at an extreme gain of 14 1-2 to Al 1-2, Gu ban American Sugar and South Porto Rico sugar, with gross gains of and ,, respectively. and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies. which wrested supre- macy from other shipping issues, on it's rise of 3 3-4 to 98, a new record.
 Trade conditions are largely respon- sible for the higher levels Tn these is sues, it being generally recognized that the paper and leather industries are deriving further substantial benefits applies with equal force to the sugar stocks, while the movement in Atlan- tic, Gulf and West Indies accompan- jed reports of enormous earnings and prospective dividends to shareholders.
 Substantial advances were register ed by other inactive shares, notably National Biscuit, Loose WiIes Biscuit, Harvester, Continental Can, Pacific Telephone, Montana Power and Petro- leums.
 United States Steel lost none of it's prominence as the market leader, fur nishing it's customary large quota but traversing relatively narrow radius and closing at a net gain of 1-8 of point.

Chicago, Oct. 8.-A dish of ice cream and some lemonade was all that Syd- ney Hatch of Chicago, veteran ana teur Marathon runner, wanted after he finished his record breaking ninety five mile run from Milwaukee to Chicago today. Then, after a brisk rubdown, he went to bed for a 24- hour sleep.
 Officials of the Amateur Athletic Union declared that Hatch's perform ance probably was the most remark able in history. He covered the dis tance -95.7 miles-in 14 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds, beating the former record by four hours and seven minutes.
 Hatch finished the run at a dog trot, just as he started in Milwaukee at 8 o'clock last night. He ran every step of the way, making only three sops for a total loss of Is minutes and finished strong, although ten pounds lighter. He averaged a, mile every 1-2 minutes.
 Altx Montverde of Johnstown, N. Y, who started as Hatch's pacemakers, was forced to drop out before three fourths of the distance had been cov- cred.
 Hatch is B yeras old and has com peted as an amateur for IT years. He has raced in more than 45 Marathon events and hundred or more shorter distance races.
