II is strange that there is so many
people ready to tell you that any
hard task you undertake can never be
accomplished. They will prophesy
failure and tell you the dangers that
lie in your pathway. But don't give
any heed to them, go on with a smile
on your face. Take off your coat and
work hardl and you'll do the thing
that they prophesied could not be
done. There's ten to predict failure
to one that predicts success, and if
you heed Nem you'll die of the blues
before you ever accomplish anything.

ALABAMA MINERS STRIKE

Birmingham, Ala, June 26.-Ad-
vices from Shelby county late today
stated that the miners of Piper mines,
owned by the Little Cahaba Coal
company, had gone on strike. 1t is
understood in Birmingham that the
men walked out on purely local
grounds, and that the dissatisfaction
is confined to the Piper mines. The
lumber of men affected was not given

correspondence between DR.. Bahsen,
DR.. A. NJ. Soule, w. w. Driskeil, farm

WAR PLAN PROVIDES
FOR COUNTY AGENTS
State College Faculty Dis
rupted by Call for
Expert Help.

Under the new war plan. organized
in an effort to stimulate production all
over Montana. every county in the
state will have Il county agent. To
further this plan. to provide men for
the work who already know Montana
and Montana conditions, the faculty at
the Montana State college has been
practically disrupted and the best men
in the various agricultural departments
have been sent to various parts Of the
state to take part in this work. And
the plan provides that your county
get the most it can out OF the agent
and his services. The way to do this
Is to use him and to use his office
freely.
The county agent desires to list all
surplus seeds. seed wheat, seed oats.
all farm seeds. lie proposes to have
a list of the breeding stock. He will
proba bly, conduct Il bureau designed to
furnish farm labor to those most in
| need of it. To make such work ef-
fective he must have lists Of those who
| desire such employment and those whu
| need it.
Farm help is going to be hard to find
this season. and good farm help es-
| pecially so. Tho value OF such an ex-
| change between those who want work
and the farmers who need help is evil
dent to everyone. 1t can be made cf-
fective only by the cooperation OF
those most interested. Then cooper

! The seed exchange will fill another
need. Seeds passing through the
county agents exchange must be coed
seeds. The fact that they come
through such hands must and should
be certificate of the character OF the
seeds. He is n dun farmer who can
not see the advantage for himself and
others in such an arrangement.
But there is only one way to make

During Normal Season Such
Practice Should Be Severe
" Condemned-Fall Plow-
ing Best if Practical.

Generally speaking Montana farmers
are more prone to use the disk than
the pillow. In other words they disk too
much when plowing should be done. In
"A normal season. when there is ample
time for blowing and the land has
been cropped for several years. such
practice should be severely condemned.
Especially is this so where fan blowing
is possible and practicable. But last
fall there was small opportunity for
fall blowing. Not only that. hut in
certain regions of the state where the
soil blows. fall blowing is not always
advisable; in others. the stubblc holds
the snow better than fallow land and
hence the blowing is left for spring.
And this season we have an abnor-
mally late spring, when every available
day must be utilized if we are to put
in n crop
There arc many reasons why We
should put in II crop this spring, the
biggest crop we ever planted. These
reasons are too familiar to us to need
more than passing mention here. The
nation is calling upon the farmers OF
the northwest to produce wheat. With
a winter wheat crop below normal

accidents" of all kinds Ovcrtake them.
Special care, keeping the chicks within
proper bounds. at the same time at
tending to their exercise, diet and di-
gcstion should bring from 80 to IS per
cent through in fine form to safe,
period. No chances should be taken on
the safety of the chicks. The care
takcr should know exactly whore the
mother and her brood are every mo-
ment of day and night He should
know. too, that they arc absolutely
safe from all enemies. and from every
possible weather emergency.
The mother hen should be kept with
the chicks until they are at least five
weeks old. If the weather is cold or
wet, and other conditions arc unfavor-
able. she should continue with them
longer. Tho Judgment of the care
taker must be brought into exercise
in every part Of this fine business.
Some tlisappointmcnts are bound to re-
suit. But if the subject is thoroughly
studied ana the principles here stated
faithfully practiccd, success viii be
assured.

And this brings us back to the mat =

Caring for the Chicks.
The first month is the emergency
period. Get chick well brooded to

largely by the efficiency of the first
months brooding.
