CONDITION OF HOGS WILL
AFFECT FUTURE LITTERS

The condition and thrift of the
breeding herd during the breeding
season have an important effect upon
the filters the sows are to farrow.
The sows for the herd should be
selected early and placed in lots ac-
cording to age and condition. This
work should begin about two weeks
before the breeding season so that
the sows man be in a gaining con-
dition at the time they are bred. Sows
at this time should receive, in addi-
ton to their grain ration, as much
range as possible
The grain ration should be we'll
balanced, and may be made up of
corn, shorts, tankage, and kafir or
similar feeds. When pasture is no
longer available it is advisable to
give the sows free access to alfalfa
hay. The last cutting is the best and
should be fed in racks to prevent
waste.

CARE OF STALLION MOST
IMPORTANT YEAR ROUND

AS a rule stallion owners are
more concerned about the care OIL
their stallion just before the opening
of the breeding season. That is gooo
so far as it goes, but it should be
kept up the year round.
The health and condition that the
horse will be in during the breeding
season will depend on his being kept
in health during the remainder of
the year. To do this he should have
plenty of exercise. If proper exer-
else is given the question of feed is
not a serious one. 1t is hard to i'm
prove on good clean hay and oats
with which a little bran has been
mixed. The proper way to exercise a
stallion is to work him. Break him
to work at the same age other colts
are broken and keep him at it.
Every stallion should be worked at
least enough to pay for his
feed. especially those under IL
years of age. You can never
add anything to the breeding quail
tiles of a stallion w letting him live
a life of ease and idleness. Have
him do the kind of work his colts are
expected to do.
No matter how valuable stallion
may be, don't be afraid to work him.
1t will make him more valuable if
you do. During the breeding season
stallion should be travelled from
five to IL miles day. In feeding or
working a stallion you will have to
use little "horse sense"-done give
him too much or too little of either.
Above all don't condemn him to
solitary confinement in dark stall,
knee-deep in filth, where he is fed
and watered only occasionally. A
stallion likes company, whether it be
man or horses. Lonesomeness is the
principal cause of Injurious and
vicious habits in stations.

SHOULD USE CARE
IN PLANNING FARM
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENC
SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER
IN ARRANGEMENTS
Country Place Should BE Considered
as II Manufacturing Plant, Which
Is Entitled to the Most Scientific
and Business Like management
and Development.

Unless the Montana farm, especial
ly the farmstead, is planned for eff
cheney and economy there is a great
waste Of money and a big loss in
time.
In planning the farmstead, several
main ideas should be kept in mind
type of farming, location of the
farm with reference to market, topog-
raphy, and arrangement of the farm
stead itself with reference to the re-
lation Of the buildings to each other.
Other minor considerations of i'm
portance are direction of prevailing
winds, drainage, outlook, and prox-
unity to the road.
The farmstead is the location OF
the executive department of the farm.
1t generally is taken to include the
farm buildings and adjacent lots.
Follows Scientific Management.
The modern idea of scientific man
agement of industry includes palms.
taking care in the layout of the plant.
Considering the farm as factory, it's
planning is one Of the most important
branches of scientific agriculture. 1t
should be done with the greatest of
care because 1t is difficult to change
the arrangement of buildings without
great inconvenience and expense.
In Europe, where land is extremely
expensive and farms are small, it is
common to find the farmstead so uni
fled as often to consist of one build
ing. The advantages of such a sys-
tenn are minimum amount of land
used, economy affected by unity of
structure, and. saving in material and
labor in feeding.
Where Farms Are large.
The European system does not
work out we'll under Montana condi-
lions. In Montana, where large farms
are the rule, the structures for vari-
Jus purposes are separated While
there is some loss in economy, the
distributed buildings are more in &C
cord with American esthetic ideas.
Better sanitation and appearance re-
suit
Different kinds of animals are kept
separated, and such buildings as ma
chine sheds and granaries can be
built with cheaper construction than
is desirable for structures in which
animals are housed.

FIGHTING SMUT IN
MONTANA GRAIN
EVERY FARMER MUST FIGHT
EVIL CONSISTENTLY AND
PROPERLY.
Investigations of Agent of United
States Department of Agriculture
Shows Proper Treating of Seed
Grain Reduces Loss From Smut to
Great Extent.

]. w. Taylor, specialist in the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
has been assisting county agents
throughout Montana in Investigating
grain smut in the state, calling upon
farmers and elevators everywhere.
Recently he has spent some time in
Fergus county.
The results of these investigation
based upon the testimony of farmers
and others interested, seems to in
dictate that where grain is treated
properly and consistently every year
there is very little annual loss due to
smut.
That most farmers preferred blue
stone to formalin treatment. This
may be due to the commercial for
maldehyde not always being up to
standard strength. TIL, government
specialists recommend formaldehyde
as it is easier to use. 1t docs not cor
rode metals used in treating and is
not poisonous like bluestone.
Sprinkling Or Dipping.
Most farmers treat gr~in by sprink-
ling or dipping sacks containing seed
into a barrel or tank of the solution
This method is not effective where
there are unbroken balls of smut in
the seed, as these will break when
handling afterwards, either in sack
or in the grain drills. Many differ
ent methods were employed in separ-
ating the smut balls from the grain.
The most common method was by
using a commercial smut machine
These do good work especially if
smut balls are skinned off by hand
instead of depending on automatic
swimmers.
Home Made Contrivances.
Many farmers used home made
contrivances which worked very sat
isfactorily, especially the kind where
barrel Or similar vessel, containing
the solution and smaller vessel with
perforated bottoms containing grain
was dipped into the former and all
the smut balls skinned Off Best re-
suits were obtained where grain was
kept in this solution from five to ten
minutes.
That is appears absolutely imper
alive in order to successfully COM
bat the smut losses that every farm
er treat consistently and properly
This means cooperative efforts by
all treat, the smut sports will blow
from the infested fields to the clean
fields.
Climatic conditions to a large eX-
tent determine the amount of smut.
