the Salem Floral society, to be held in
the auditorium of the Commercial club.
To assist in the selection, everyone is
invited, whether they are members of
the society or not The Oregon grape is
the state flower and now that Salem
will soon be known as city of Flowers,
1t has been suggested that now is the
time to select the official flower. Pro
fessor Peek, of the extension depart
ment of the University of Oregon, will
deliver an address and there will be a
general discussion as to what should be
done this spring in the way of the plant

BLACK FOX BREEDING IS
STARTED NEAR DILLON

Breeding and raising black fox is
to be the principal industry on the
d. S. Vail farm, about Is miles south
of Dillon in Sheep canyon. Special
fences are to be built to keep the ami
mails inside John Holm of Butte,
an experienced stockmen, will have
charge of the industry. Ten thous-
dollars will be spent building the
fence.
Fifteen pair of black foxes will ar
rive soon from Prince Edward island,
valued at $4,000 pair. They will
be taken care of by experts in the line
of fur farming and it is expected that
large profits will be realized from the
investment. One pair of these ami
mails will raise one litter of young an
nually, the number ranging from five
to nine animals in each litter. This
is the first attempt at fur farming
to be conducted in Beaverhead coun-
ty.

TREES
ON H0MESTEADS
MANY BEAUTIFUL GROVES BE-
ING SET OUT ON MONTANA
FARMS.
Importance of Protecting Trees for
County Homes Realized by States
Rural Residents-Care Should be
Given to Setting Out and Cultiva-
ton.

In building new home in the
of trees for protection and for MAX
ing the farm more beautiful should
not be overlooked. That Montana
farmers realize the value of trees is
shown by the large number of groves
that are being started in all sectio IS
of the state.
Trees do unusually we'll in this lat
itude, though care should be exer-
cised by the. farmer in selecting the
variety to be grown, picking those
that are best adapted to the country.
Many farmers believe that the
ideal way to lay out grove is in a
square. After choosing a site for the
buildings, SO that it can be done,
they plant trees on the east, west and
north, leaving the south side open.
In this state prevailing winds are
from the three directions to be pro-
tected.
If it is found impracticable to
square, then many prefer to plant in
an l. shape.
Avoid CroWding Trees.
In planting a grove the farmer
should avoid crowding his trees up
against the buildings. Plenty of
room should be left for all future
buildings, hay stacks, barns, out
buildings, machinery lots and road
ways to drive in, turn around and
drive out again. twenty-five rods
each way is none too much
1t is a we'll known fact that dur
ing blizzard the snow will drift
through the trees and lodge just in
side. If the trees crowd against the
buildings then the snow will be
lodged against them.
Growing Small Trees.
So many trees are required for a
good sized grove that it is not prac-
| tical as a rule to purchase them from
a nursery, so that the farmer has
! to raise them from seeds. These
seeds should be planted in the best
garden soil, after the seed bed has
been carefully prepared. They should
be planted as thick as garden peas
1t is possible to plant these seeds

now it should be attended to first

Cultivate the plants as soon as
they appear in the springtime, Otter
and thoroughly. Guard against cu1

If the season is favorable the trees
should go into newt winter at leas

FACE, LATEST
EPIDEMIC SPREADS FAST

Appendicitis, tonsilitis and good
old-fashioned grippe have got to take
back seat There is new epidemic
in Montana. It is KNITTING face"
which is the name given by a clinic
its causes and effects.
The malady is both contagious and
infectious. 1t made it's first appear
ance soon after war was declared,
and it has been spreading with great
rapidity. Husbands are worried,
physicians bafled, and even children
notice difference in the appearance
of mothers and older sisters, as re-
suit of its effects.
At the beginning there were only a
few cases but it has spread now into
homes, offices and schools and is es-
pecially noticeable around women s
clubs and society affairs.
1t is easy to distinguish those af-
flicted. In the early stages it is most
noticeable, by look of great concen-
tration, and constant moving of the
lips as if counting "one-two-three-
four" with an occasional "one-two-
three-darn" and a quick movement

In the more pronounced cases the
victim is constantly in a deep state
of concentration, and while sitting in
a street car rides two or three blocks
past her corner without thinking to
get off. Her face becomes set in
stern lines, her mouth drawn and
eyes narrowed leaving the impression
that the victim is in physical pain.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Su1flo1uers Valuable for
S;)a9e and So;);ng Crop

There are great possibilities in the
giant Russian sunflower as a crop for
the silo in those sections of Montana
where the altitude is too high, the
growing season too short or the rain
fall insufficient to permit the raising
Of satisfactory crops of corn.
At the state experiment station at
Bozeman So tons of sunflowers
were harvested in 1915 from a single
acre and feeding tests indicated that
it might prove highly valuable for
dairy cattle, when fed either fresh
from the field or from the silo.
Dairymen and stock raisers all
over the state have been watching the
experiments at the college with great
interest and will welcome the news
just given out by Professor G. N. Ar
nett of the state experiment station
that the 1917 crop has proved a great
success and that feeding experiments
with dairy COWS have shown the
green sunflower to be equal pound
for pound to green corn.
Thirty Tons Per Acre.
According to Professor Arnett, one
experimental plot yielded at the rate
of 80 tons to the acre during the past
season without irrigation. Consider
ing the dry season this is a remark
able yield and when it is considered
that corn in Montana seldom pro-
duces more than six tons Of fodder
per acre the great advantage Of sum
flowers over corn is at once apparent.
SunfloWers were fed as soiling
crop for IL days to several head of
dairy COWS in comparison with an
equal number of COWS fed upon green
corn. At the end of the test the milk
records, fat tests, and live weights
of the cows indicated that the sun
flowers were equal pound for pound
to the green corn. The cows con-
sumed as high as ninety pounds per
day of finely cut sunflowers, eating
it with great relish. No detrimental

to the effect that an unusually large
number of sheep have been shipped
to market this year because of the
high price and scarcity of hay.

CLOSE CONTEST
IN EGG LAYING
BARRED ROCKS PRESSING LEG
HORNS FOR FIRST HONORS
In NATION.
Both Varieties Above Average of 200
Eggs Per Bird-Leghorns Started
With Large Lead, But Rocks Slow
ly Cut it Down Making Final
Stages Exciting.

The national egg-laying contest,
conducted at Storrs, Conn, is attract
ing attention of poultrymen in Mon
tana as we'll as other parts of the
country because Of the close race for
first place that is being put up by
the two top pens.
The fight for highest honors is of
special interest because it is being
waged between Leghorns and Barred
Rocks These two breeds have a host
of admirers throughout the country
who are following the egg-laying con-
test as closely as baseball fans fol-
lowed the world series and each en-
thusiast is certain that the breed he
favors will carry off the national hon.
ors in the race that is to close next
week.
Strong Towards Finish.
In the tenth week of the contest a
pen of Barred Rocks entered by APP
lecock farm, of FitzWilliam, N. H.,
was 112 eggs behind A. p. Robinson's S
White Leghorns from Calverton, N.
Y. In the twentieth week of the con-
test this Barred Rock pen Jagged still
more, being 163 eggs behind the Leg
horns
By the time the thirteenth week
had come around, the fortunes of the
game seemed to have changed and the
Barred Rock pen was only seventy
four eggs behind the Leghorns. In
the fourteenth week the Rocks had
again suffered reverses and were in
arrears 135 eggs.
At this point virtually everyone, in
Guiding the management of the con-
test conceded first place to the New
York Leghorns. But now in the fiji
teth week with the race nearly over,
the Rocks are only fourteen eggs be-
hind and apparently they have the
punch to finish in first place. Each
pen is we'll above 1905 eggs or an
average Of more than 200 eggs per
bird, the goal that all good hens
strive for.
Four Pens Keep up Pace.
There were just four pens in all
that were able to lay more than forty
eggs during the fiftieth week. Obed
G. Knights White Wyandottes from
Bridgeton, r. L., were in first place
with yield of 46 eggs. Merritt
Clark's pen Of Barred Rock from
Brookfield Center, Ct, followed them
closely with a production of 4 eggs.
Jay H. Ernisse's White Wyandottes
from Webster, N. Y, were in third
place with 43 and Rock Rose Farm s
Barred Rocks from Katonah, N. Y,
were in fourth place with Al eggs to
their credit, The total for all pens
amounted to 1880 Or las better than
for the 5Oth week last year.

UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IS
PRODUCER FINE SPUDS

Two hundred sacks of prime pota-
toes have been stored in the provi-
sion house of the state university as
the product of the 1917 university
war garden.
Early last spring James H. Bon
ner, superintendent of buildings and
grounds, conceived the idea Of utiliz-
ing some of the campus for a war
garden, and he planted it to spuds.
The crop did we'll under his careful
care and as a result the dormitory
has fine supply Of Murphys.

effects could be detected on the ami
mails or in the flavor of the milk.
Feeding as Ensliage.


Feeding as Ensliage.
Feeding tests of sunflower ensilage
are also reported by Professor Ar
nett. Fourteen COWS We're fed for
twenty-eight days on grain, clover
hay and sunflower silage while an
equal number were being fed on grain
and clover hay. At the end of the
time, after a weeks transitional pc
riod, the ration of the two lots was
reversed for another twenty-eight
day period.
Since the lots were practically
equal in weight, age, etc, the same
amount of grain was fed to each lot.
By keeping the grain equal the val
ue of the ensilage was measured di-
directly by the saving in clover hay,
and any difference in the weight of
the animals or in the amount of milk
produced at the end of the expert
ments.
Each cow averaged 8 pounds of
grain per day. While on a ration of
grain and clover hay, the average
daily consumption of hay was 21
pounds per head. When fed ensilage
the COWS averaged Il pounds of clo-
yer and 1876 pounds of sunflower.
These figures show that 1876 pounds
of sunflower ensilage replaced nine
pounds Of clover hay which amounts
to saying that 81 pounds of sunflow
er ensliage is equal to one pound of
hay.
Compared With Hay and Grain.
1t was found that the COWS receiv-
ing grain and hay put on slightly
more weight than those fed on grain,
hay and ensi!age, the former making
an average gain per head of II
pounds in 28 days and the latter MAX
ing ST. pounds during the same time.
| However, the daily average produc-
ton for the COWS when receiving the
sunflower ensilage was 34.35 pounds
of milk containing 1.5 pounds of but
ter fat, while their daily average
when not receiving the ensilage was
1887 pounds of milk which contained
1.38 pounds of fat. In view of the
fact that the COWS receiving only
grain and clover hay, gained slightly
more in body weight and produced
less milk and butter fat, it may oe
safely concluded that under the con-
ditions of this experiment the sun
flower ensilage had a beneficial and
stimulating effect upon milk and fat
production.
No Room for Doubt.
Prior to this experiment, the COWS
had all been under the same condi-
tions and had been fed the same
kinds of feed so there could be no
question as to the residual effect OF
previous feed or care influencing the
results of this experiment. No differ
ence in thrift, appetite or general
condition of the COWS could be noted
as result of the use Of the sunflowe1
ensilage.
The milk from both lots Was kept
separate throughout the experiment
and carefully tested for any unde-
sirable changes in flavor or odor but
none could be detected by expert
dairymen or the most particular o1
the patrons using the milk.
In view of the very promising re
suits obtained by Professor Arnett al
Bozeman it would seem to be the wise
thing for every dairyman to put il
small patch of the Giant Russian
sunflower next spring and try ou
this experiment on his own farm.

upon some errand Of his own. but n
thing was certain, and the n OF
Clemstis-his attitude. his every look.
his every gesture-made Il as clear as

means or another the presence Of Flop

see him personally.
William was well aware that Glen
ats could not be driven away. except
temporarily. for nothing was further
nxed upon Clematis than his habit OF
retiring under pressure, only to return
and return again. william cast a hunt

elongated himself TO investigate the

round himself seized viciously by the

dragged him down n passageway to
the cellar door. This he opened, thrust

Immediately a s%tentorian howl raised
