Everything in Russia Is
New Since the Revolution;
Even Smile Is Different

Everything Is new In Russia. AS
one correspondent sees 1t, and Petro-
grad In particular, he declares that
even the smile is different. It is with
out sickness or hypocrisy. The ladies
are wearing revolution-color skirts,
red feathers in their hats.
The Nevsky prospect has become q
kind of QUARTER Latin. Book hawkers
line the pavement and cry sensational
pamphlets about Rasputin and Mich
olas, and who is Lenine, and how
much land will the peasants get. Re
turned exiles fit through the crowd,
recognizable by the Rue Bertolet cut
Of their clothes and their hair.
Even that ancient institution, the
five-O'clOck procession of Chinovniks
going home from government offices,
has lost its typical coloring. One
misses at first the staid, familiar fig
ures, till one suddenly realizes that
those rather long-haired young men,
swinging or slithering along with port
folios under their arms, must, of
course, be the new Chinovniks.
Newsboys used to carry papers in a
bag. Now there are so many papers
and such demand for them that the
hawkers have had to improvise stalls
at the street corners, and one may
pause there and watch the play of po-
litical sympathies and antipathies as
the hard-faced young workman buys
the Maximalist Pravda, or the dreamy
student buys the Radical Den, or some
stout elderly gentleman buys the
Novoe Vremya with a melancholy air
Of resignation.

Fall Pigs.

Fall Pigs.
Question:: viii 1t pay to raise fall
pigs In Montana?
X. v. r., Missoula.
Answer: The question of raising
two filters of pigs year is one over
which there has been a deal of dispute
among Montana hogmen and on which
there still exists marked difference Of
opinion. We are inclined to answer 1t
by saying that it largely depends on
the local conditions. II man Is SO
fixed with good barns and hog houses
and plenty of feed, fall filters may be
made exceedingly profitable. while
without these facilities they can be a
dead loss. Fall pigs should be made to
come as early as possible SO that they
may make n goodly portion Of their
early gains on late summer and fall
pasture. Then II 1t so happens that
their owner Is feeding a bunch Of
calves through the winter these pigs
can run in the feed lot with the calves
picking up the waste grain that passes
through the calves and also cleaning
the alfalfa leaves that fall through the
feed racks. The number of pigs that
can be so run, Of course, depends on
the number of cattle and, also what the
latter are fed, but on many Montana
farms it Is n profitable system Of
farming. Given some grain and good
alfalfa hay, pigs will winter cheaply
and continue to make moderate gains.
Once spring comes they can be placed
on pasture and marketed at high tide
of summer market. This practice fur
nishes good pasture when the pigs are
small. which spring pigs narrowed in
March or April have to do without.
But II the practice is to be followed
the pigs should be narrowed early
that they may attain fair size before
the cold weather drives them In from
the fields.

Every Ounce of Foodstuff
Will Be Needed; Make
Start at Once.

We all of us like to take as optimistic
n viewpoint as is possible. and there is
not person in all the country, we
hope. that does not wish with all his
heart that the war would be over with
In the next few months. However, the
military experts, the men who are in
the best position to know. do not think
that such will be the case. Prcdic-
lions are frequent that there will be
two years more of war. With that the
case. or even with peace in sight, We
farmers of Montana must at once turn
our attention to the 1918 crop. The
present crop will be badly needed, but
II may well be that the crop of the fol-
lowing year will be just as necessary.
We can start now to prepare for the
planting of that crop.
In Montana there are thousands Of
acres of virgin land that has never
felt tho touch of the pillow. Many Sec
tons of this land would have been
plowcd this spring had we had favor
able weather. And now that the spring
crop is in and there Is no pressing
work for the next few weeks. we have

OF all the crops that arc grown on

planting. Not only does such wheat
give great yields, but it gets started

At the present time, in most parts OF

from four to six inches deep, prefer

War Gives Added Reason for
Strict Economy on Part
of Everyone.
SAVING GREAT HELP
Not All Farmers Can In
crease Production, but
All Can Conserve.

In the world crisis that is at hand
this season there Is more than the war
itself. the clash of arms, for us to think
about. Resulting primarily from the
war there is a shortage Of food prod
ucts all over the world. This short
age has only become apparent the
present spring. Statisticians who keep
track of the food that is stored and IN
transit and the like report that there
- very little surplus. In two years
Of war. Of consumption rather than
production. the world has used up the
reserve supply. and hence the call has
gone out for greater production.
The prospects for increased produce
ton that Is desired are not as good
as they might be in many parts of this
country. owing to the abnormally late
spring. 1t is only within the past two
weeks that farmers in many parts OF
Montana have been enabled tosfinish
their planting. a month later than is
usually the case. Given favorable
season and all will be we'll. Montana
Will increase her crops and yield
greater than ever before. But with an
unfavorable season over any large area
OF this country we will be confronted
with a serious situation. There will
be an actual shortage of food, especini
~ when wo consider that we have to

our own mon under arms.
Because OF these conditions II be-
hooves every farmer to pay attention
to conservation as we'll as to increas ed
production. He should save evcry-
Where that he can. For instance he
should grow garden that will be
large enough to furnish him much of
the winters supply of food. Many
garden products can be stored in the
cellar or basement, others can be nut
up In cans against the time when thew
will be badly needed. Home cured
pork. corned beef. poultry in abundance
ana many more things can be accumu-
lated this summer against the times
tnat are to come. In the old days on
the farms the farmer was practically
self supporting. He bought little in
town save his sugar and mayhap his
clothes. While there is no necessity
Tor such a procedure now, still we
could raise lot more of our eatables
on the farms. enough so that the COM
mon canned goods and other foods we
buy at the stores could all go to feed
the city people and the armies. Utilize
everything you can at home. Feed
the wastes to livestock and increas sc
your production. Conservation, the
stopping of the leaks. is going to have
a lot to do with winning the war and

ows bare of stacks. indeed. there was
suffering and loss among the cattle
and sheep in many parts of tho state.
Consequently. the hay that will be
available for the coming winter will
have to be grown this summer. Given
a wet season and we may have hay In
plenty and to spare. But no one
knows what the season will be. For
this reason, and to be on the safe side.
II would seem a desirable practice to
grow some grain hay. This can be
done in a shorter time than Is required
to mature the grain for grain. and
hence land which was not put into
shape early enough in the spring to
produce n grain crop can be utilized
for this purpose.
Generally speaking. there Is not
much market for grain hay 1t Is not a
common commodity on the hay market
because of the danger of its being out
a bit late and the grains being shat
tered. However, for use on the farms
It is one of the most valuable feeds
there is. 1t would seem advisable for
farmers who have some stock to feed
to raise what grain hay they can, and
to sell their alfalfa and timothy on tho
fall or winter market. With the short :
age of hay in the state the price on
hay this fall will probably be higher
than normal and hence considerable
revenue can be thus derived.
Practically all the grain makes good
hay. Oat hay is greatly esteemed by
all classes of stock. barley hay Is con
sidercd by many dairymen as the best
of tho grain hays for livestock. while
wheat hay. not SO good as the others
is still widely used.
AS general practice grain should
be allowed to mature rather than b'
cut for hay. There Is more money In
it by letting II mature. But this is 8
late season. grain which Is Just being
planted may not get n chance to ripcn
and soils may lie Idle. In this latter
case it seems good business sense &c
plant them Cor grain hay, unless II hap
pens that there Is not enough moisture
in prospect to insure a fair gcrmina :
ton.
BY feeding his grain hays and mar
kcting the tame grasses, as has beer
suggested. the farmer cannot only car.
ry over his livestock, but derive rev
cnuc greater than would otherwise b'
