Despised Sage
Brush Finally

Quantity Of Potash When
Burned in Kiln.

Nobody loves the sagebrush. yet
somebody is always trying to uplift II,
says the New York Sun. This Is
difficult task, since it's antecedents are
SO bad. Nevada complained a long
time because she was called the sage
brush state; hunters hated the plant
because of the bitter flavor it impart-
ed to the gsouse; prospectors. settlers,
stockmen despised it because 1t en-
numbered the earth. 1t was fit only
for rattlesnal1es to coil in and strike
or for coyotes to blend their tawny
skins into vanislment.
Not long ago IN Oregon man cried
Eureka He said that sagebrush
was the best road building material in
the west. Now Idaho claims in the
despised weed source of great
wealth and the solution of the problem
of potash shortage.
THE average acre produces three
tons of sagebrush at cost of $50. Tit
sagebrush burned in the kiln gives
from IS to 80 per cent potash. Thu

BEEF PRCESEXPeCIED
TO CO Up AGAIN Soon
Stockmen Who Hold Cattle
Through Winter Will
Get Money.
SITUATION NOW BAD
Immediate Prospects Dark,
but Future Augurs
Better.
SITUATION NOW BAD

The stockmen in Montana who still
run considerable numbers OF beef cat
tie are confronted with a situation the
like of which has not occurred in many
wears. In the first place their herds
arc not any too plentiful. Cattle last
spring were selling at excellent prices,
indeed 500 per head for COWS ana
calves was nothing uncommon. Beei
was high and carried every prospect
of staying there. Cattle carried
through the hard winter were very val
liable property.
Then came the long dry summer and
the consequent shortage of the nay
crop in many parts of the state. In
consequence many people began to
look around for a place to dispose OF
their cattle. for having no hay to feed
them it was a necessity that they be
sold TO the best advantage. The mar
ket dropped couple OF cents. as IS
always the case in like situations. And
there we are today.
As it looks now the immediate pros
poets for high beef are not all that
they should be. but the future auE'lrs
well. once let the grass beef get ont
of the way and the market shouie
climb steadily. 1t is merely the short
age of hay and the consequently large
amount of beef that will have TO b'
sold that is bringing the prices dow
at all. At least such is the opinion
of MANY prominent cattlcmen i'll tn
state,

BROOD SOWS NEED
BEST OF FEEDING
Even With Grain Expensive
Forks Worth While.

Even with the high price of feeds
it will pay to feed the brood sow well.
Pork is worth money. In Chicago
hogs have been flirting with the $50
mark right along, and that means there
is money in raising pork even with
the present high price of grain. A few
years ago when wheat was selling in
the neighborhood of 20 cents II bushel
and pork was at 61a cents pound,
there were plenty of Montana farmers
who realized a dollar and a half a
bushel by feeding their grain to the
hogs While grain has increased
enormously. SO has the price OF pork.
Pasture cost has gone UP but little.
for one cannot sell pasture very cas-
lily. With proper management pigs can
! be made to put on the greater part OF
their gains from the pasture. This
will give the farmer more leeway in
his pork production and make the mar
| gin of his profit wider.
What to do with the sow and hcf
| pigs after the pastures fail Is some
times quite a problem. One way oil
solving it is simple. If there are enough
young cattle on the place. 1t Is .
common practice in this state to feee
the calves alfalfa and sometimes grair
as WE'LL during the winter months
Where this is the case the pigs car
follow the calves and derive quite Z
bit of food from what would otherwise
be wasted.

MULES WORTH Breeding
BECAUSE Of WAR NEEDS
Most Valuable Of Animals,
European Purchasers
Declare.
STAND GRIND BETTER
Horses No Match for Stout
Hybrids on Battlefield
Is Verdict.

According to one of the leading ex-
portcrs of war horses to Europe during
the last two years, the most valuable
four legged animal in the United States
at the present time is the American
mule. This exporter says. when 1t
comes to service the nWle has the
horses beaten in every way. He can do
more work and can last longer on
less food, and under more unfavorable
conditions. There is no country in
the world that produces a mule the
equal of the American product. The
only country in Europe approaching
the United States in producing
mules is Spain, where they have first
class Jacks
Montana is in Il good position to
raise mules. While there are not a
great many good jacks in the state
there is any amount of mares that will
weigh in the neighborhood of 1900
pounds, and mares of this size are ideal
for mule production if bred to a good
jack. Furthermore it is easier to gel
a mare in foal to a mule than to q
stallion, and thus many mares which
have proved nom breeders in the pas,
can be turned into producers.

PLANT WHEAT EARLY
TO INSURE GROWTH

Generally speaking, the early planted
fall wheat stands the best chance to
mature. Wheat that is planted early
gets Il chance to establish it's root sys.
TEN before the cold weather begins. It
Is stronger and better able to with
stand the frosts and even the alternate
freezing and thrawing of spring that
often Injuries winter wheat. Then, too.
in the spring it is in n position to take
advantage of the early spring moisture
and rainfall. BY early planted fall
wheat we mean wheat that Is put in
from the present time UP to the middle
of September OF course 1t can be
put in later. in some parts of the state
| they do not believe in putting It II
| quite 80 early, but as a rule the hes
crops come from the early plante,

Alfalfa in High Attitudes.

AuSwcr--in Utah alfalfa has been
successfully grown at an altitude oil
5000 feet. In Montana it has been
grown in some of the highest valleys
in the state with good success. There
really seems to be no altitude liml-
tation as long as the climate and the
soil conditions are satisfactory.

RYE'S GOOD CROP
FOR DRY FARMER
Hardness and terminating
Qualities Valuable.

There are four uses for rye on the
dry farms Of Montana: Pasture. hay.
grain or green manure. Its Varl"gated
uses. its hardness and its almost
sure germination under all conditions
make il one of the most valuable
crops for the dry farm. Rye is easy
to gsrininate. the process taking
place III a minimum of moisture on q
poorly prepared seed bed. once rye
is well rooted it scarcely ever winter
kills. cScn during winters when thu
wheat is badly damaged.
AS this year has proven. one of the
most difficult things to obtain on the
dry farm is adequate pasture. The
average pasture grasses require much
more moisture than is commonly foune
on dry farms and consequently burr
up in the late part of the summer. Rye
on the other hand. requires as littlt
moisture as any grain and spring
planted rye will probably keep greer
longer than almost any other crop w

The size of the poultry house is in
fluenced somewhat by the climate. ana
partly by the amount of care that VIII
he expended on the flock, though the
principal factors are the varieties OF
chickens to be housed. and the units or
size of the flocl<s. Let me explain
this more fully.
In the southern sections of the coun-
try. where tho climate is more or less
; mild during the winter months. and
where snowfall is practically negllgl-
bic element chicken houses need be
only shedlikc structures, entirely open
on the least exposed side. which is US
TALLY the south wall, permitting an
abunda nee of ventilation. Obviously
where there is Il constant changing OF
the air. with no chance for the interior
air to become foul and moisture lad
cned from the fowls breathing, the
} cubical contents of such a house car
be substantially less than the hous,
that, due to a more severe climate
must be afforded greater protection
! from driving SHOWS and heavy gales
and therefore more closely shut in OF
the south wall.
In other words, the more ii become:

. more cubic feet of air space is re
