This is the time of year when
poultry keepers should be bending
every effort toward the quick deyel-
opment of pullets, in order that they
may provide eggs to make up for the
rapid decrease in production of the
yearling hens.
Leghorns which were Matched in
April should be in the poultry house
now and we'll on their way to heavy
egg production. Heavier breeds,
Matched in March and early April,
should also be taken in from the
range, put in their winter quarters
and fed high protein rations. Be-
fore pullets are put in the laying
house for the winter. it should be
thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and
a new coat of whitewash sprayed on
the walls. Disease and vermin lurk
in every crack and crevice in the
building, and pullets just brought in
from the range are easily susceptible
to all forms Of poultry diseases, par
ticularly colds and roup.
Colds Easily Started.
1t is a good plan to keep permang-
anate of potash in the drinking water
for the first six weeks after the pull
let's are put in the house. The change
of conditions from the free circula-
ton of air that they have been ac-
customed to out of doors, to the COM
parative closeness of the poultry
house is liable to start colds which
quickly become serious and spread
to the entire flock, unless preventa-
tive measures are resorted to.
1t is not a good plan to mix pull
let's with hens, both because of pos
sible infection from disease and also
because young pullets do not get a
chance to develop when kept in the
same pen with old hens, which al
ways pick them and prevent them
from getting all they need to eat.
Sort the Pullets.
When pullets are brought in from
the range, they should be carefully
sorted and only those of uniformly
fine quality placed in the laying
house. Many poultry keepers make
the mistake of trying to make good
layers out of poor specimens, with
the result that they loaf around the
poultry house all winter, a constant
source of infection and disease, with
out ever producing a single egg.
April Matched pullets which have

If you don't want to go the the
cold storeroom indoors, you can take
care of your root crops outdoors in
storage pit. You can dig one al
most any place. If you want it con-
venient to the garden so that you
won't waste any steps gathering
things in, you can dig it right in the
soil just vacated by the crops. Or,
if you want it convenient to the
kitchen, you can dig it right off the
back porch.
The storage pit is best built in the
form of fairly broad trench about
six inches deep. When you have dug
it, take up your root crops, carrots,
beets, turnips, cabbage, some, but
not all, of your parsnips, and lay
them right on the ground.
Use Layer of Straw.
When they have all been laid
away, cover the mass with gener-
Gus layer of straw or hay. Then, for
the present, you can turn your back
on the pit and let things lie.
But when the first snappy cold
uJSuI COulcS Ill OClODef, night COlu
enough to thoroughly chill the vege-
tables, perhaps cold enough to freeze
them a little, go out the next morn
ing and cover up all the hay or straw
with layer of dirt.
But before you have done this en-
tiEely you should put up ventilator.
Take four ordinary box boards and
build crude imitation of chimney,
only around the top of the chimney
drill a few good-sized holes in each
board. Then put up another board
over the top, and scraping away the
straw for little space, put the COM
pleted ventilator, open end down, in
on top of the vegetables. This will
insure them satisfactory breathing
conditions during the winter.
Add More Straw.
The pile will do we'll now until
about the first of November, when,
with another coating of hay and dirt,
it will be ready for the worst that a
Montana winter can do.
There are two ways of arranging
an entrance to the storage pit. A box,
with both ends knocked out and
filled with stray TO protect the vege-
tables, will serve excellently when
placed at one end of the trench. Or
it is perfectly satisfactory to break
into the pit once a month and take
away months supply.

TRACTORS AT FAIR
SH0WH0WTOPLOW
DEMONSTRATIONS BY IRON
FARM HORSES PROVES FEA-
TURE OF PROGRAM.
Farm Gets 8O-Acre Tract Prepared
for Crop When Manufacturers Put
Big Machines to Test to Explain
efficiency of Modern Equipment
for Farm Work.

One of the features of the farm
fair this year was the demonstration
of blowing given by the various eX-
hibitors. This demonstration was ar
ranged for partly through the efforts
of the Montana Oil company, the eff
ficiency of whose Mon-o-co lubricat-
ing oils and gasoline was proved, the
company donating both. No prizes
were given as that is against the
rules of the fair.
j. M. Power, who owns an 89-acre
field adjoining the state fair grounds,
had the whole plot plowed we'll last
week and it did not cost him cent.
Nine machines performed and they
demonstrated the ease, rapidity and
general thoroughness with which
blowing can be done by power equip
ment. Dragging from two to six
plows the gasoline tractors tore over
the field as if racing cars. Dust
flew from behind and clods of sod
scattered the crowd which closed in
tightly around the different ma
chimes.
Each tractor and it's equipment
was surrounded by group interested
In that make.
The demonstration of the tractors
is not a contest or match, other than
for attracting the attention of posi-
BILE purchasers. No prizes were Of
fered for the best work done, as such
prizes are contrary to the rules of
the association to which all tractor
men belong. The exhibition was ar
ranged by the fair management this
season for the first time under the
belief that the farmers attending the
fair would find it instructive and en-
PERTAINING. From the number who
gathered at the blowing field the idea
was an excellent one and it probably
will be made feature of succeeding
gairs.

The present high cost of grain

that the very closest culling be prac-
ticed in the filling of poultry houses
for the winter, if the pullets are to
pay a reasonable profit during the

that America must continue to ex-

Such being the case a period of in

laying aside all patriotic motives
that in this hour of need would OF
themselves urge our live stock pro-
ducers on to increased production,
there is abundant reason for the be-
lief that the live stock growers will
respond Fundamentally to the ap-
food administrator to redouble their
efforts in production.
"Our harvests of grain and other
foodstuffs this year represent an un-
precedented aggregate that will go
far in encouraging greater live stock
production. Food Administrator
Hoover will not nullify his strong
appeal for increased livestock
production by any action to reduce
the price of live stock to a nom
remunerative point. He has pledged
himself to the live stock interests to
take no action without the sanction
and approval of representatives of
such interests with whom he has al
ready been in conference. 1t is pos
sible that we may see few SO hogs,
few SIS cattle, or few sheep or
lambs sell at materially higher prices

producers and feeders is virtually as
sured, not only for weeks and months
but for years ahead"

Robinson & Co., in discussing cattle
prices with Montana cattle grower
the other day.
Gust think of it-western grass
ers at $3.50, when the average for
the past 10 years has been $8.17 for
beef steers off the grass. Surely we
are making history this fall and ship
pers today have an opportunity to
cash in that they will be talking
about for the next half century. So
far as the market is concerned, the
end of the rise has hot been seen
yet at least on some classes. A
year ago the price of top western
grassers was $3.50; hogs, SLIGO;
lambs, $11.40.
Supply is Short.
'"The above comparison of top
prices is significant, furnishing, as it
does, abundant proof that the world s
supply of live stock is far below the
worlds requirements. The big ad-
vance over prices paid in September
last year is more strikingly indicated
When the fact IS remembered that
September, 1916, top prices were,
with the exception of the lamb top,
the highest on record up to that time
(barring the Civil War period of in

ket for September last was the high

wide margin.
"a comparison of top prices paid
thus far this month with the aver
age top on various classes for the
corresponding month in 10 preced-

almost twice as high as the average

COCHRAN'S COMMENT

THE HoBo.-Golden Rule Jones
used to tell a story that might help
Jack Lait and others understand the
hobo. Once a man got out of work
in a small town. Not because he
didn't want to work, but because
there wasn't enough work to go
around, and he couldn't get enough
to keep him going. He thought he
would work on to the next village
and look for work there. But he
didn't find work there, and kept on
his way. He wasn't bum. He
wasn't a Ioafer. He was as good as
the rest of the people in his home
town, but there was no place for
him. He walked, or tramped if you
please, because he hadn't the money
for railroad fare. He was willing to
work and did work when he could
get work. So much for the hobo end
of the story. But here's the part of
it that l enjoyed most. 1t so hap
pened that our honest hobo friend
was hungry one day and without
money to buy food. He knocked at
the front door of a neat-appearing
house and a preacher came to the
door. Our hobo said he was hungry
and would be glad to saw wood or do
any other chore to pay for some
thing to eat. The preacher asked
him numerous questions about who
he was, what he did, where he came
from, all of which the hobo willingly
answered. Finally the preacher
asked: do you ever pray, brother?"
Brother Hobo admitted that he did
not, but had no objection to praying
if he thought it would help get him
work and food. Seeing that Brother
Hobo's soul wasn't wholly gone and
might be saved with little effort,
Brother Preacher handed out a little
sermon on prayer and told Brother
LJobO m on RI tho hooIy 5Oov ,,5
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-06

ago you called me brother. Am
your brother?"
Certainly you are my brother"
gently replied the preacher. "Al-
men are brothers. We are all chill
dren of the same God and alike we
partake of the bounty of His infinite
love-"
This impressed the hobo Hungry
as he was he meditated, holding in
his hand the backdoor sandwich.
"And am really your brother?" he
asked.
Again Brother Preacher assured
him. why, certainly you are my
brother" and the good man beamed
as he said it.
At last the truth dawned upon the
poor brother who was looking for
work. He looked at the preacher, at
the back door, at himself, at the
sandwich in his hand and then again
at the preacher And he said:
well, brother, if I am really your
brother and you are my brother,
don't you thing it's a pretty cold deal
for you to give your brother this
backdOor handout, instead of invit-
ing your brother into the house to sit
down at the family table to a square
meal?"
And the pious brother was shocked
at the lack of understanding, not to
say the base ingratitUde of the hobo
brother, who was almost foolish
enough to believe that the preacher
meant what he preached.
