cal conditions and the type OF farming.
The maximum number of hogs per acre
is found on farms chiefly or wholly de.
voted to the raising of that class Of
stock; as for example. farms In the
state of Iowa, where 1t Is quite COM
mon to see farms stocked with several
hogs to the acre, while the average
for the entire state Is one to every
three acres of improved farm land. I'm
der average conditions in this coun.
try, however hogs return the largest
profit when raised to utilize waste
products, and when kept for this pur-
pose alone the number will depend
upon the quantity Of waste products
to be consumed. Skim milk from dairy
herds, shattered grain from grain
fields, unmarketable products from the
truck farm, undigested grain in the
dropplngs Of faftening steers, and
many other minor wastes on the aver
age farm are examples Of feedstuffs
which would be wasted were 1t not for
their utilization by the thrifty farm
er for the production Of pork.
Utilize Waste Products.
In order to utilize some of these
products 1t Is necessary to hare a num-
Der Of pigs on hand for relatively
short time on account of the perish
able nature Of these feeds. The rest
of the year the fattenlng pig. and the
breeding stock must be maintained
upon feed raised expressly for their
consumption, and while they are not
kept at loss during this tine, still
the greatest profit is derived when
they are eating the cheap feed In the
form Of waste products. The num-
Der Of hogs which can utilize the waste
to the best advantage. therefore,
should be the limited factor In deter
mining the number of hogs to the
farm. On farms In the com belt,
where hogs are raised simply to mar
ket the corn crop on the hoof, the num-
ber Is controlled by the amount of corn
which can profitably be raised to fat

FLOWING DESTROYS WEEDS
Frequent and Thorough Cultivation Of
Seeded Before Sowing VIII
Check Growth.

By ANDREW BOSS, Agriculturist, Uni.
versity Farm, St. Paul. Mlnn.)
Prevent pigweed from going to seed,
and avoid sowing the seed In grain
and grass seeds. Frequent and thor
ough cultivation of the seeded before
sowing the seed will check growth In
grain fields. Good plowing, thorough
cultivation, with some hand hoeing
and pulling, will eradicate the weed
from cultivated crops. 1t does not
give serious trouble In fields where
crops are grown In good rotation. It
Is most troublesome in gardens, but
shallow cultivation and hoeing or pull
Ing by hand will eradicate II.

Glasgow at Get Together Banquet

Cooperation was the keynote OF
the banquet given by the Chamber o1
Commerce and Agriculture Tuesday
evening at the Model Bakery.
1t was truly, real "Get Together
affair and the city and county officials
who were the guests of the club di-
rectors, took up the spirit of the oc-

success than had been anticipated.
The banquet had been arranged for
the purpose of bringing the heads of
the city government together, ex-
changing ideas and working out plans
for the betterment of the city, county
and state.
AS chairman and POSTMASTER John
Goodrich proved himself a master in
the introducer's art. After explaining
the purpose of the gathering he called
on various notables present for i'm

Mayor Matt Murray was the first
on the list. He took for his subject
the part the new city administration
would take in the movement to make
Glasgow a bigger and better city. The

have to be overcome were pointed out,
and those present gained deeper in

Survey Of Seed Situation Shows
Shortage Of Oats and Barlev

Mr.. B. w. Whitlock of Bozeman
who is agent for state defense council

eating the seed situation of northern
Montana. He mailed circular lette,
to all grain elevators along the high
line for the purpose of locating sur.
plus lots of grain seed, flax, barley
and oats.
Replies now coming in show that 1s
out OF 81 elevators report having a
surplus of flax seed of fifty to twelve
hundred bushels. Six report having
plenty for their own community, but
none to sell, and fifteen report having
no flax seed on hand. From these re-
ports there shows a plenty of flax
seed west of Havre. Saco and Burich
are the only two points east of Havre
having a surplus.
The situation on oats and barley
appears to be more serious than the
shortage of flax seed in northern
Montana. Only two reports out of "a
showed a surplus of oats and barley
on hand, and the quantity was so
small it would be of no value in help

WRECKS GARAGE
Milk River Garage Burned OF
Wednesday Morning-Few
Cars Were Insured
fire DEPARTMENT DOES GOOD WORK
Loss About $40, 0,00-Prompt Work By
Fire Department Saves Adjoin-
ing Property-Karl Peterson
Seriously Injured

A disastrous fire Wednesday morn
ing practically destroyed the Mill
River Valley garage and caused tota
loss of about $4,000 to the garag,
owners and parties who had ,automo
biles stored there.
The fire started in the vulcanizine
room; some spilled gasoline becoming
ignited and almost in flash the
entire place seemed to be a mass .o1
flames and smoke.
The quick response of the Glasgow
Fire Department and the heroic eff.
forts of volunteers kept the fire from
spreading to adjoining buildings.
Despite the start the fire haG
gained, the steady streams of water
poured into the building soon took
effect, and the flames were kept con.
fined to the rear of the building.
Only few of the cars had beer
taken out before the heat and flames
became too intense, and about Is cars
remained in the building. Practically
all of these were badly charred and
burned, but all of them can be rebuilt
without great expense. That there is
anything left of them at all is due to
the efficient work of the fire depart.

Karl Peterson, city editor on the
Courier, was among the volunteer fire
fighters and sustained painful injur-
les when heavy steel door fell on him
dislocating his left shoulder. He also
sustained severe cut over the left
eye. He was rushed to the Deaconess
hospital where the shoulder was reset
and at present is around with his eye
in sling and his arm bandaged.
The total loss sustained amounts to
about $4,000. Christinson & Hills
loss is about $4,000, only a small part
of which is covered by insurance. OF
the damaged cars, five were owned
by Kennedy Brothers of Opheim, five
by the Glasgow Overland company.
Cars belonging to C. C. Beede, DR..
F. C. Bifton, John Etche-
pare, Myers of Nashua, and Miss
Haley were also damaged.
None of the new cars were insured.
