DTSKING WON'T DO;
PLOW YOUR FIELDS
Good Seed Bed Must Have
Deep Burrows.

There are some parts of the state
where discing rather than blowing
aecms to DO the popular method for
putting in the crop. Discing In the
main cannot take the place Of the plow.
The disc does not go deep enough into
the ground. nor docs It turn the soil
enough. Flowing Is the only way to
MAKE good seed bed.
but blowing alone will not suffice.
Something else needs must be done be-
sides merely turning the land. A good
seed bed needs must be deep, say
about six inches. The top Of the fur
row slice should lie smoothly in the
bottom of the furrow. that capillary
attraction be at once rr-established.
The soil in the seed bed should be firm,
for loose soil loses moisture. The de-
STABILITY of a firm seed bed Is one Of
the, strong reasons in favor of fall
blowing. which gives the land a chance
to settle before the seed Is planted.
Well packed soil leaves no air spaces
to dry out the rcost. and tho root hairs
get into Immediate touch with the
plant food. The surface of the seed
bed should be fine. with a dust mulch
to prevent loss Of moisture. Seeds
planted in rich land will grow. pro-
videtl there Is even an average amount
Of moisture.

GOOD Hay RIOTS away
IN SWAMPY MEADOWS
Western Montana Farmers
May Make Money by
Getting Busy.
REAP ALL WILD CROP
Grass May Not Be Saleable
but 1t Will Reduce
Expenses.
REAP ALL WILD CROP

Most of our Montana farmers arc
prone to do things on large scale,
the little odds and ends that some
times count so much in savings are
often overlooked. Someone once said
that if Montana farmers could milk
on horseback this would be, the great
est dairy state in the Union. which
perhaps is not far from being the case
1t Is sometimes hard to figure just
what little things will pay best. for
these small things all take time. and
time is the most valuable thing on any
farm.
In this year of high priced hay 1t is
going to pay the farmers of the state
to cut all the hay they can. Not only
should they cut all the hay that they
can get at with a mower. but if need
be they can take a scythc and NOW
grass at a profit On many of the
mountain ranches, particularly in the
western part Of the state are small
meadows too wet to get in with u
mower and team. These meadows are
heavy with wild hay and this is the
best time of the year in which to cut
II. 1t will pay 4 man to get on a
pair of rubber boots and go after these
meadows by hand, cut the grass with
n scythc and if need be fork it onto
dry ground TO cure. Wild hay is val
liable as a stock feed. 1t has no sale.
but will take the place Of timothy in
wintering cattle, and where timothy is
selling at $a5tand up in the stock, any
Thing that will take its place is worth
a 1n f,c
the wild hay and sell the timotilH; that
is being done in many weste Ion
tana meadow this fall, and il is a
wise practice.
A man with Il scythc ought to put
down two or three acres a day apG
in some cases more, and as this wild
hay grows heavily, one can figure
out that even by hand II man can
make mighty good wages getting in
this grass.

Questions and
Answers
Weaving Calves.

Question: When should beef calves
be weaned? "A. 0. b.. Ovando.
Answer: The proper time for wean-
ing beef calves depends on several
things, namely the age of the calf, the
amount of feed available and the ma
ture OF the season. AS generally speak
ing all the beef calves in the state come
in the spring months, we will confine
our remarks to them. a spring calf,
particularly If it was born in late
March or April, is of good size by the
first Of october. amply able 10 look
after itself where the feed is good. AS
far as age goes the calves could be
weaned any time after they are three
or four months old. Naturally. the
stockman wants his calves to attain all
possible growth before the winter sets
in. SO 1t is growing practice in many
parts Of the state to leave the calves
with the cows almost up to the holi-
day time. While this is /, bit hard on
the cows. il the fall Is an open one and
the cattle do not have to be put on feed,
the cows stand 1t in first class shape
and do not lose as much flesh as ono
would suppose. Given an open fall
and good range and beef cows will
Suclle their calves until Christmas
without much difficulty. However It
must be remembered that these same
cows which suckle their calves must
have more hay than would otherwise
be the case. From the time the calves
are weancd until spring green's the hills
1t Is question Of feeding with the
calves.

Plenty of Food Will Keep
Milk Flow at Paying
Point.

With the coming of the frosts and
cold weather. pastures shorten and
high-prolucins dairy cows arc apt to
find rather scanty grazing on many
pastures, particularly this year when
all but the irrigated pastures are
short. II ono expects his cows to
keep on producing all winter 1t is not
Il bad plan to pay a. bit more attcn-,
ton to tho feeding Of the cows. Grain
is high IN price and ono cannot feed

butter at SO cents a pound the current
price. 1t does not take very good
head to sec that good dairy cow will
more than pay for her keep. Tho good
COW will do that. the poor ono Is n
liability instead of an asset.
But to get back to the good COW.
she will pay for every bit of grain and
hay she eats. and leave Il nice surplus
besides. by judicious feeding her milk
flow can be maintained. while were she
relcgated to strictly hay diet she would
drop off seriously in her production.
You cannot expect dairy cows to pro-
duce n good flow OF milk without
something to get it from, and they
cannot get enough through hay alone
to maintain anything like good flow.
The Indifferent cow will probably do
almost as well on hay as though she
had grain as well. at least her increase
In production as a result of grain feed
ing would not be enough to cay for the
cost Of the grain. but with the good
COW 1t is an entirely different matter.

Fall Flowing Essential
to Success Of Farmer

Fall is always Il busy time for the

In there should be enough blowing to
keep everyone on the farm busy as

BY itself green food furnishes
very little actual nourishment or
heat to the fowls body, and is
given largely for its tonic effect on
the system. Fowls fed heavily on
rich rations lacking in green food
are very apt to develop liver trou-
Bile and digestive disorders. Be-
cause of its bulky nature green
food also distends the intestines
and thus assists the digestion o.
the rich ground grains. We can
thus see that disposition in the
ration is an important one. ENper-
iment.s have proven that a maxi

realized unless the proper amount
of green food is supplied to the lay

THE SONG OF THE ChuRN,

Since ancient days when simple ways
Were used by dairymen:
The churn made song, and arms were
strong.
And meadows cherished then.
There is sort of sacred right
Belonging to the trade:
Tho clover in the dew CLEANS bright,
Each field in gold arrayed.
Churn. churn. churn.
And the cream Is rich, today!
Churn. churn. churn.
And the dashers song is gay.
For cows in the orchard are In their
primo.
And ever and always It's milking time.
Churn, churn. churn.
Grandmother's style would make you
smile.
It was so out Of date.
But crooks were filled, and songs were
triilcd.
And plenty on each plate.
All morning. by the kitchen door,
She made the dasher dance;
TIL churn was heavy with it's store
And cuboards knew romance.
Churn. churn, churn.
And the youngsters gathered round.
Churn. churn. churn.
What a sweet and wholesome sound!
For bread and butter Is good for you.
Whatever your tasks-whatcvcr you do.
ChurTl. churn, churn.
Today the churn still sings It's song,
And maids still help them sting.
But quaint old stunts that did us
once.
Are not the proper thing.
For science. working on the farm,
Builds profit out OF waste.
And wheels make obsolete tho arm
And cogs permit us haste.
Churn. chlirn. churn.
And electric hands to toll;
Churn. churn. churn.
And there's treasure In the soil.

Cover Machinery Now
and Save Repair Bills

At this time OF the year one sees tho
fields thickly dotted with scattered
machinery, stuff used during the sum-
mer months and set aside wherever Its
owner was through using It. This
machinery should all be gathered UP
and put under shelter There is little
or no excuse for machinery wearing
out If 1t is given adequate protection
Shelter from rains and SHOWS and a
coat Of paint over the bright parts
these things will double the life OF
every bit of machinery on the farm.

Early Vegetables.

Question: We have plowed our gar
den and wish to get seeds for spring
planting. What is the earliest green
We can plant9 b. L. e. Missoula.
Answer: For spring planting, let
tuce makes the earliest green you can
plant, and radishes likewise grow very
early. A cold frame will enable ono to
plant things several weeks earlier than
outside. A plan for early greens that
Is meeting with a deal OF success in
different parts of the country is tina,
OF planting spinach In the fall. just as
one does winter wheat. The spinach
grows UP some in the fall and in the
spring Is ready to take advantage Of
tire first warm weather. thus coming
into bearing a couple of weeks before
the earliest outdoor lettuce. We do no,
know of many farmers in Montana
who have tried this method, but surcl,

! The necessity of the greatest pos
sible production because of the pres
ent food crisis makes 1t imperative
that every home having Il few square
feet of yard area should make this
ground productive of some form OF

dozen hens can be kept to advantage

will add its quota to the much needed

The greatest argument in favor OF

winter months. This form of economy
