EGGS NOW

Many a housewife is giving a sigh
of relief these days as they note the
decrease in the price of eggs. Fresh
eggs are being sold at present for IS
cents a dozen and the price will prob
ably decrease during the next few
weeks while the hens are laying we'll.
Housewives should make the best of
these reduced prices and preserve
their own eggs for winter use. The
cold storage man and others who take
advantage of the low egg prices in the
spring and preserve large quantities
of eggs while they are plentiful. These
eggs are sold during the winter
months at 60 cents or better. The
housewife al preserve the eggs Just
as well as the cold storage man and

DRY LAND FARMERS
SHOULD NOT EXPERIMENT

With the planting eason of the
year imminent and the winter, it is
to be hoped, a thing Of the past, ev-
cry dry land farmer is naturally
keenly interested in the grains which
he expects to plant the coming sea-
son. In dry land farming it is the
utmost Importance to plant the right
type of seed, for, as everyone knows
who has studied the question, there
are some varieties which do we'll on
dry land and others whose planting
insures the failure of the crop. In
this year of high prices no farmer
should think of doing much expert
menting on his own account; far
safer it is to plant those grains which
have proved most successful for
farmers all over the state. 1t is the
purpose of this brief article to sum-
Marie the grains which have given
the best results under Montana con-
ditions.
OF all the dry land crops, wheat
ranks first in Importance. 1t is more
widely grown than any other crop
and for the past two years the prices
have been higher on that than any
other grain. The acreage planted the
coming season will probably be the
largest ever seeded in the history of
Montana. Winter wheat is more
widely grown than the spring grain,
probably because the average yield
is somewhat higher, ranging about
eight bushels per acre mor than the
average spring wheat yield. Winter
wheat is not adapted to all the dry
lands of the state and in eastern
Montana is likely to winterkil. The

HATCH r CHICKS

1t is common knowledge that there
has been a scarcity of eggs throughout
the country the past year, the total
shortage running into several hun
dred thousand dozen a month. Con-
trary to popular opinion, manipula-
ton of the market has not been the
primary cause, as government Stats
tics prove that a genuine shortage
exists and that storage plants have
fewer eggs on hand than for several
years. The reason for the shortage
must then be otherwise accounted for,
and many couses, both direct and
indirect, may be cited. There are
two, however, which seem to be pri-
marily responsible. First, on account
of the high price of grain during the
last three years there has been a ten
dency for the farmers and town poul-
try men to dispose Of all their birds
or to limit their flocks to enough to
supply their own needs. AS q result
very few surplus eggs were produced,
and storage plants were unable to Sc
cure them even during the season of
high production. Second, owing to the
war, there has been a great demand
for eggs to supply the armies, and in
place of the former importations,
large shipments have been made to
England and France. With the o
tinuance of the war and the prospect
of the United States having a large
army in the field in the near future,
the demand for food stuffs will in
crease and prices will undoubtedly be
higher than ever, unless people gen.
orally rise to the situation. W. a n
not all go to war, but every one can
do something by preventing = short
age of food stuffs during the next
year.
In order to help the egg situation
and overcome the shortage Of poul-
try products it will be necessary to
start early, as unless pullsts = : we'll

should be Matched during April and
For Montana conditions chicks
should be Matched the last Of April or
the first Of May. Our experience at
the experiment station would indi-
cate that chickens do not mature as
rapidly under our climatic condi-
lions as they do in the central and
eastern states where the season is
longer and the nights are warmer.
During the next six weeks the farmer
n poultry man should set every
hen that wants to set and endeavor
to secure 4 flock Of we'll matured
pullets for next fall. II the hens fail
to set it would be better to buy an
incubator rather than wait and use
setting hens later in the season, for
unless his young birds are fully
grown the %poultryman will have a
flock Of boarders instead Of produc-
ers on Ills hands for next winter.
The solution Of the problem should
not be left entirely to the farmer,
however, the town and city people
with = few feet Of lawn in the back
yard should endeavor to do their part.
Secure two or three setting hens and
some eggs or some baby chicks from
\ reliable breeder and raise fifteen
or twenty pullets this summer
Furnish them with a small, inexpen-
sive but we'll constructed house next
winter and they will pay we'll for the
trouble they have caused and in addi-
ton the owner will have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he is doing at
least a little towards keeping up the
food supply.
The poultry department at the ex-
pertinent station will be glad to help
those interested, to furnish through
letters and circulars information on
the feeding, housing, etc., Of poultry
and to furnish addresses Of reliable
poultry breeders.

FEW EXECUTED
BY COURT MARTIAL

PARIS, April 16.-Two-thirds of the
court martial cases at the war front
and Immediately behind the front have
developed from either drunkenness or
fear, sometimes from both, according
to Monsieur Rene de Planhol who has
had more than two years experience as
counsel for the defense in such cases.
Drum-head court martials, with sum-
mary executions Of spies and desert
ers, have been far less frequent than
might be imagined. Not only have
sentences to death been infrequent,
but, extraordinary as it appears, the
verdicts of justice at the front are sell
dom executed.

The dummy COW" is perhaps the

of the new schools of farming which
are springing up all over rural Eng

rudiments to young women volunteers
for work on the land.
OF these schools, one of the largest
is close to London, on the borders OF
Epping Forest, which is to the British
metropolis what Bronx Park is to New
York. The school is on large eccles-
iastical estate known as "Copped
Hail." where the girls are billetted in
towering, lavish buildings of ancient
red brick, once the shelter of hooded
monks and leisurely friars.

maids must practice milking. The
dummy consists of four tripod legs and

rubber teats. The bag is filled with
water, then the instructor adjusts the
