TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
MONTANA LEADS NATION 0M
INCREASED NUMBER OF FARMS

if proof we're necessary, that farm
development is now making its great
est progress in states which are
bringing new lands under cultivation,
The public lands suitable for agri-
culture are, practically speaking, all
taken up-that is, lands that can be
cultivated without irrigation. That
has had the effect of retarding the
establishment of farm homes in the
public land tsates that do not resort
to irrigation.
But in the states where irrigation
is flourishing, where the "desert
wastes" are being brought into fruit
full bearing-the states which old
New England could not see in times
gone by are the states that today are
showing the real agricultural devel-
opment, while New England leads all
the rest of the country in its agri-
cultural decline. OF the eight states
showing the heaviest decline In num-
Der Of farms, six are the New Eng
land states.
The old lands, the first worked,
are now worked out; the new lands,
never until recent years touched by
the plow, are coming into their own.
IF there yer any argument needed
to convince congress of the wisdom
of spending more literally for agri-
cultural development by irrigation,
that argument will be found in the
facts discovered by the census bu-
reau. These figures show there is
ne need for a "back to the farm"
movement in the ~so-called arid west.
1t is in the east, where people are
leaving tie farms because the farms
are worn out, or because the lure of
the city is so great, that the farm
losses are occurring.

and, returning to settled districts,
help themselves to available hay
stacks, much to the loss and annoy
ance of the rancher. The feeding
plan does not work out to tho best
advantage on account of this ten
dency.
Last year during the heavy storm
which swept the park section of the
country, hundreds of elk came over
the line and were killed by hunters.
The kill of elk at Gardiner was re-
ported as approximately 3.oe0 head.
Heavy storms drove the elk over the
line in big herds. Hunters came in
to Gardiner to kill elk, stationing
themselves neal the line and shoot
ing them as they came out. 1t is
said that hunters came in enc one
train and went out on the ether, ia
king out their elk. The kill was too
big for true craftsmanship. OF
course these conditions do not hap
pen every season and may never
happen again. This kind of sport
is too much like going int a pasture
and killing a beef.

MAKING FINE FARMS
OF LOGGED OFF LANDS

Conversion OF 1920 acres of log.
ged-off land into homesteads for 1Ss
families is the task undertaken BY
the Johnson-Dodson company, Port.
land, Oregon. The land is located al
Oak Point, Wash, and recently was
purchased from the Hammond lum-
Der company. 1t is being offered tc
settlers in tracts of from rs to 4G
acres at reasonable terms.
Settlers on the Oak Point acre ige
will find many advantages not usual
ly granted to the pioneer, according
to A. r. Johnson, head of the devel-
opment company. Substantial foun-
dations for community life are af-
forded by a wharf on the Columbia
river, a large warehouse, a well
stocked general store, postoffice,
church, school building, a machine
hop, and half a dozen comfortable
dwelling houses, formerly used by
employees of the Hammond Lumber
company.
Oak Point is 60 miles down the
river from Portland and about 40
miles from Astoria. The steamers
~Georgiana and Historian make regular
stops at the wharf twice daily and
the place is a regular port of call for
the steamers Hassalo, Harvest Queen,
Lurline and Undine plying between
Portland and Astoria. Oak Point is
directly opposite Clatskanie, is five
miles from Cathlamet, Wash, and ~
miles from Kelso. The Johnson-Dod-
son tract extends about six miles
anlr fr.nra fhn xrafnr frAnt md Iiac
partly in Cowlitz and partly in Wah-
kiakum counties.
A logging railroad used by the
Hammond Lumber company extends,
with its branches, to various sections
of the tract. The rails have been
removed and the ties will be taken
up and the roadbed converted into a
public highway. Plating of the
acreage guarantees each purchaser
access to the highway at a level grade
and the main road throughout its
course does not exceed a six per cent
grade.
The tract is watered by Mill creek
and It's branches and careful study of
the topography of the land by the en-
gineer In charge of the survey, has
placed water on each parcel offered
for sale.
The land is sufficiently rolling to
insure good drainage and the soil is
described In a report by the bureau
of soils of the United States depart
ment of agriculture as Olympic silt
loan. Both climatic and soil condi-
lions are such that the tract is we'll
adapted to the culture of berries,
and vegetables. On the advice
of G. L. Smith, agriculturist Of the
o. w. r. r. e N. company, the sales
company advises diversified farming
to settlers on the Oak Point land.
There are plenty of big stumps on
the land, but as logging operations
were of recent date and fires have
kept down the growth of brush, it
will not be difficult for the energetic
to clear enough land to get

err, drier, and more cheerful, and
adds to the productiveness of the
flock.
The poultry house should be con
venient, substantial and inexpensive.
It's size or dimensions depend largely
upon where you live and the number
of fowls you wish to keep. On a
farm or where the birds can be out of
doors nearly every day in the year,
about 2 1-2 square feet of floor space
per bird in flocks of 20 is enough,
but in a village or city or in a climate
where there is a good deal of snow,
making 1t necessary to confine the
birds closely, four or five square feet
per bird should be allowed.
A very satisfactory house for a
small flock is 10 feet long, seven
feet wide, 6 feet 2 inches high in
front and 4 feet high in back. 1t will
accommodate any number Of birds up
to rs. The following lumber is re-
CURED for the construction.
Two pieces Axe, IL feet long, for
stills; 3 pieces 2x4, IA feet long, for
joists; 3 pieces 2x4, 16 feet long, for
rafters; 10 pieces 2x2, II feet long,
for studs and braces; $40 square feet
7-8 inch matched flooring for floors
and sides; 100 square feet 1-inch
sheathing for the roof; also one roll
of roofing paper, two windows, wire
FOR II hfn1ng ond nafIc
Common boards one inch thick
may be used instead of matched
flooring for inclosing the house, but
in that case battens should be placed
the cracks. Boards as wide as
possible should be used, as the wider
the boards the smaller the number
of battens required. The use of bat
tens is somewhat cheaper and just as
satisfactory, although the house is
not quite so attractive.
In a climate where the winters are
not exceptionally cold it is preferable
to cut one large opening in the front
the house instead of two windows
and the opening covered with wire
netting instead of putting in sash and
glass. When this is to be done, cut

7 feet long 2 IL feet wide, and

provides an abundance of ventil-
alton, fresh air, and sunshine, which
ire very necessary. If it is too cold,

put down over the opening at night
md on extremely cold days. A hen
will stand a good deal of cold air,
however, provided the air is dry, and
of ventilation helps to keep
he air dry in the house.
The house may be built on runners
it can be moved to fresh ground
occasionally, but If desired 1t may be
tut on a permanent foundation and

requires plenty of grit and determin-
ation-it is a working mans job
and the owner do not encourage
purchases by men looking for a life
of idle ease.
A new state highway, proposed to
run to the mouth of the Columbia
river, will pass through the tract for
a distance of two miles and the sur
veyed right of way of the Grays Har-
Dor e Columbia River railroad, a
subsidiary of the Northern Pacific
line passes along the waterfront. The
Oak Point Land company proposes
to hold the waterfront and a consid-
cradle acreage adjoining and offers
use of the wharf and warehouse to
settlers.

HOUSE FLOCK in
WARM QUARTERS
EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT is NOT
NECESSARY; PLANS ARE
OUTLINED
Comfortably Housed Hens Have Bet
ter Health, Are More Vigorous and
Lay More Eggs than Poultry
Which Must Live in Incommodious
Quarters.

Comfortably housed hens have bet
ter health, are more vigorous, ant
lay more eggs than those which must
live in incommodious quarters, say
poultry specialists of the department
of agriculture. Comfort in the poul-
try house is not necessarily synony-
nous with expense, but thought and
care must be given to the quarters
which the birds occupy, or the flock
will not 'pay for its keep"
Poultry House Requisites
Poultry houses or other buildings
where fowls are kept should be dry,
well ventilated, free from drafts, with
plenty of sunshine and room enough
to allow the birds to move about with
freedom and comfort. These are ne
cessary features, in fact much more
important than the kind or style of
building used, if the fowls are to be
kept healthy, vigorous and produc-
tive.
If a new house is to be built, it
should be located, if possible, on high
or sloping ground and always on dry
and well-drained soil. Wet or damp
ground means a damp house, and a
damp house not only means a cold
one but invites sickness and diseases.
Never build a house in a hollow, as
water and cold air settle in low spots
and should be avoided. Have the
house face the south, as 1t gives more

Hebrew Teachers Go Back to
Work.

Philadelphia, Pa.-After strik-
ing for fourteen weeks, the teach
ers of the local Talmud Torahs
have at last gone back to work.
The strike was prolonged for
fourteen weeks chiefly owing to
the attitude of the Talmud Torah
heads who would not yield to
some of the just demands of the
teachers for higher wages and all
around better working conditions.
An adjustment was finally arrived
at through the arbitration of Ber-
nard Harris, Professor Marguiles
and Rabbi Davidowitz. The
strikers, had throughout their
period of inactivity, the sympathy
of the entire Jewish community.
