Requires Little Reseeding
as 1t Lives on From
Year to Year.

Alfalfa can easily be called the best
forage crop for Montana, indeed, for
all the world. Coming originally from
the plateaus of Asia Minor, where the
! climate in many ways is similar to
| that of the sem-arid west, the plant
seems peculiarly adapted to this Sec
ton OF the country and grows here at
it's best. Making good on either dry
or irrigated land. alfalfa means every
| thing to the farmers of Montana.
Alfalfa is perennial plant, that is. it
lives on in the soil year after year, and
| thus does not have to be reseeded. As
q general rule alfalfa is left in a field
for six or seven years, for it takes a
year or two for n stand of alfalfa to
reach it's full productive power and
hence there is no reason for blowing
| it up until the field has started to
deteriorate. AS it is a legume it adds
nitrogen to the soil through the nitro
gen gathering nodues on it's roots.
Because of the permanency of the
crop, special care should be exercised
in the preparation of the seed bed for
alfalfa. Alfalfa does best when the
seed bed has been MANFRED and plowed
the fall before the seed is to be plant
ed. Then in the spring, as soon as the
land is dry enough to merit of culti-
walton. go over the field with a drag
harrow and break the crust on the top
of the soil. This cultivation also
aerates the soil and helps it to warm
up quicker. After the narrowing the
land should be double disced and then
thoroughly levelled to mate for case
Of irrigation. When it is remembered
that this land will not be Flowed again
for six or seven years, one can see the
wisdom of thorough preparation. A
good, well pulverized seed bed, deep
and well leveled, is essential in start
ing crop of alfalfa.
Alfalfa should be planted as soon as
the seed bed can be put into condition
in the spring. This will vary in diff
ferent parts of the state and with diff
ferent seasons, but generally speaking

How to Avoid Stomach Troubles.

Digestion begins In the mouth Food
should be thoroughly masticated. Your
food should be suited to your age ana
occupation. People of scdentary habits
should eat little meat, but should drink
an abundance of water. especially when
they first get up in the morning and
between meals. When you feel dull and
stupid after eating. that shows that
you have eaten too much. The bowels
should be kept regular. When needed
take a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will improve your digestion and
move the bowels.-Adv.

BELLS.

Bells have mingled with our lives since
human lives began:
Hear the bells that below in the weary
ears of man.
The ancients rang the tocsin bell in
sounding wars alarms.
To call the townsman from his trade,
the peasants from the farms;
The steeples for thousand years have
rung with all their might;
Wedding bells and fun'ral bells and
vesper bells at night.
The school bell in the morning calls
the scholars all too soon.
The hungry farmer listens for the din
ner bell at noon;
Cow bells and sheep bells disturb his
dreams at night.
And sleigh bells go tinkling when the
winter SHOWS are white.
Everything on legs or wheels must
have it's bell. you know T..
The mice once tried to bell the cat
the. fable tells us so.
The guards must ring the bell before
the train can move along;
The street car mustn't bump a man I'M
less it rings the gong.
The droll conductor takes your. coin
and then rings up the fare.
TypeWriters ring a warning bell, you
break your sentence there.
The bells upon cash registers ring out
the cost of grub,
The telephone rings out a call from
Mr.. Henry Dubb
And when the bells have wrecked his
nerves and man in ruin lies.
The doctor sends him to the gym for
dumbbell exercise!

Conservation of Moisture Is
Essential for Good
Crops.
DELAY COSTS MONEY
Additional Yields Received
by Farmers Practicing
Early Tillaee.

Flowing and disking should begin
as soon as the soil is in good tillage
condition. BY this practice two dis
tinct benefits are realized in the semi
arid sections Of the state, viz, mois-
ture conservation and the establish
ment of a granular mulch. In the
more humid section early tillage in
creases the length Of the notification
period, it areates the soil and con-
serves moisture. The results Of this
practice will insure additional crop
yields over late tillage operations.
The greatest loss of moisture oc-
ours in the early spring, when the
soil is saturated with moisture. Henry
Holtz Of the Washington experiment
station. Pullman, gives the results Of
an experiment showing the inches Of
water evaporated in "a days from the
soil containing different percentages
Of soil moisture. thus:
~ per cent--...-............. .27 eVapOrated
1S per cent 40 evaporated
"a per cent--.................... 2.16 evaporated
30 per cent------..----.-.......-4 .25 eVaporated
The moisture in the soil at the time
when tillage operations may begin
is about "a to &c per cent. The above
table shows an evaporation of about
3.5 inches in "a days or approximately
one inch each week. Where moisture
Is the limiting factor, the conserva-
ton of one inch of rainfall is equal to

or its equivalent in other crops. A
soil that has a one or two-inch mulch
will lose only one fourth to one eighth
as much water as soil untitled.
Early blowing develops more avail
able nitrogen and produces a larger
crop ,nan late blowing. An expert
mental field at Pullman contained
four summer fallowed plots, two
plowed and titled early april 81 and
two late June 100. The plots titled
early developed 497 pounds of nitrates,
The plots titled late developed 33s
pounds of nitrates and yielded 34.S
bushels per acre or a decrease of 1871
bushels of wheat per acre. Consider
ing the expense of operation, taxes,
etc, $12 per acre for the late spring
tillage and $14 for the early spring
tillage, with the price of wheat at 81
per bushel there would be a net re-
turn of 1870 for the early and $3.50
for the late tillage plots or differ

GREAT SUCCESS MADE
BY INEXPENSIVE SILO

H. w. Reaugh, agriculturist of Grant
county, has furnished to the Wenat-
chez World some interesting informa-
ton relative to silo built in Grant
| county last summer, and which has
kapps brothers. living IL miles
, northeast of Corfu, built pit silo
w. +. kapp said that the first opera
ton was to make a collar IS inches
deep and II inches wide. This circle
was ten feet in diameter The rocks
were put in the trench and cement
poured in. This took three loads Of
rock. one load of sand and two sacks
of cement. The cement was mixed four
to one. That is, four sacks of sand to
one of cement. The pit was then dug
out ten feet and thrown out with a
shovel. This was then made perfectly
straight edge. then plastered about half
an inch thick with a mixture Of sand
and cement two to one. The pit was
dug 20 feet deep. The dirt in the last
ten feet was hauled out by means of
q windlass. The plastering took seven
sacks of cement and one load of sand.
The work of construction took two men
ten and one-half days each.
The cost of the 10 by 20 foot pit silo
would be as follows
Nine sacks cement at S0c.....-..-...$ 7.2O
Two and one-half. days hauling
rock and sand at $5....-.--... 1850
half days at $5..--..---..------..5 $3.50
This gives total cost of $72.20 but
as y matter of fact but 1920 was in
actual cash. The work was done at
slack time. and the labor was put into
a permanent equipment.
This silo was filled with Russian
thistle on top, center of rye and this
tie and lower part with rye. The rye
and thistle made a very excellent silage
which stock relished best. Mr.. Kapp
says that his young stock are in much
better condition than usual for this
season of the year. and is a strong
advocate of silage after one years
feeding.
This silo took "a loads of green ma
terial to fill it, and II days for two
men to cut and fill it.

FRANCE is RELIEVED

Paris, May 23.-Jules Cambon. gem
cral secretary Of the ministry of for

situation in the light of the assurances
given by the Russian foreign minister
NJ. Tcreschtenko, which were read in
part In the chamber of deputies Tues
day by Premier Ribot, said today:
The dispatch is notable for the en-
thusiasm with which it foresces Rus
siau's immediate resumption Of mill
tary activities and her pursuit of the
war until Germany is completely de-
feated. There were fears that the
revolutionary element, under German
influence. might get the upper hand
and seek to make Russia arrange Il
separate peace and disown the alliance.
Fortunately. however, this has come
TO naught as NJ. Terestenko has indi-
Gated that Russia, while rerudiating
the, traditional policy of Peter the
Great and of the Empress Catherine
for unlimited conquest, conceived that
victory of the liberalists in Russia
Is possible only by a complete victory
over Germany. All our anxieties on
this subject. therefore, are greatly di-

Andrew Taylor Still, the founder Of
osteopathy. was unveiled today.
When DIR. Still first proclaimed his
theories in the seventies they were
received with little credcncc. When
ease in the bodily organs was often
caused by vertebrate being slightly
displaced causing pressure upon the
spinal nerves controlling the function
of those organs and that the adjust
ment of the vertebrae would relieve
the nerve interference and result in re-
covery of the diseased organs he was
rdiculed. Today his theories have re-
ceivcd a general acceptance and his
system of practice accorded legal rec
ognition by the various states. He is
recognized as being one Of humanity's
greatest bencfactors.
The statue unveiled today Is of he
role proportions and is the work of
the noted sculptor George Julian FOL
nay. 1t represents the "Old Doctor
as he is affcctionately called by his
followers, as he is often seen staff in
hand. wearing soft. old fashioned boots
which he refuses to discard. tramping
the oak covered hills about his home
getting in touch with things as God
made them"
Funds for the statue were contribut-
ed by prominent people who have been
benefited in health through his sys-
TEN and by ostcopathic physicians
from all over the country.
