TO DETERMINE CAUSE
Light and Water Commission
Will Investigate Conditions
at Otter Rapids Power
House.

The meeting called for last eve
ming BY the light and power COM
mission at the town hall to de-
termine whether there should be
a new generator and water
wheel added to the plant at the
Otter Rapids power house, re-
suited in a unanimous vote for
the improvement of conditions
at the dam.
The first step to be taken by
the commission will be an inves-
tigation to determine the condi-
ton of the machinery at the
dam, and locate the trouble. 1t
is thought that the water wheel
is the main trouble, and as soon
as the ice leaves the river, the
commission will make complete
investigation.
There is no doubt but that
there is absolute need of an aux
iliarv plant at the dam, in order
to care for the increase of new
business.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
ANNUAL SHORTH0RM SALE TO
OPEN GREAT FALLS PAVILION

When the Montana Shorthorn
Breeders association sells this spring
in its annual Great Falls combina-
ton sale May 6, the conditions will
be entirely different from those that
surrounded the two preceding breed
sales in the same city. This year the
Shorthorn men have the distinction
of putting on the first sale 10 be had
in the new $4,000 Montana Live
stock Pavilion. Stabling and selling
conditions which in 1918 and 1919
were a little less than passable will
approach the ideal in the May 6 sale.
Secretary Wayne w. Wheeler of
the Shorthorn association
that 80 head of Shorthorns, SIS bulls
and 35 females, will make up the
spring offering of the Shorthorn
men. The bulls are exactly the right
age to go to the public, as not one
is entered that is too young for i'm
mediate service, and there isn't a
male in the consignment over three
years. The females I with calf at
foot or to drop calves soon. The
usual guarantees will be given. The
stock will be sold subject to re-test

PAYS TO MAKE
I, REAL FARM HOME
LACK OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR
COMFORT AND ENJOYMENT
CAUSE Discomfort
If Labor Saving Devices Are Put in
House, Buildings Are Made At
tractive and Music and Books Pro-
vided, Children Will Not Be So
Anxious to Go to the Cities.

Why do boys leave the farm fol
the city? Also, and equally import
ant, why do girls leave the farm for
the city? Lack of conveniences, lack
of labor saving devices, lack of op-
portunity for enjoyment when the
girl has spare time-these are the
reasons. 1t is true that these things
are not lacking on every farm-but
there are too many farms that lack
them.
When these things are lacking, it
is due usually not so much to I'M
willingness on the part of the farmer
to get them as it is to failure to think
about them. The average farmer. is
generous with his family. But like
other men he does not always stop to
think.
When he does stop and think he
realizes at INC the Importance of
tightening the burden of washday
and canning time.~ The gasoline en-
CINE which runs the stock well pump
can be mounted on trucks and hauled
to the house on wash days to run the
washer and wringer. A water sup
ply can be provided by putting up a
small supply tank, as most farms
have a windmill or gasoline engine
which will lift the water to the tank.
Again, some farmers do little to-
ward making and keeping a garden
and caring for the fruit. A half day
off from the field work to clean the
orchard or the garden is not wasted

If it is desired to keep the straw
berry bed fruiting more than one
year a plan like the following is Otter
used:
AS soon as the bed is through
fruiting, the plants T moved with
a horse mower or by hand, close to
the ground, and then the bed is
raked clean and the trash burned; or
else, if it is very dry, the bed may
be burned over without raking. If
this is attempted, however, leaves
and straw must be very dry, so they
will burn like a flash; otherwise in
jury will be done to the plants.
When the trash is disposed of,
plow a furrow on each side of the
row, leaving about one foot of row
standing. Fill this trench with well
rotted manure, and cultivate the soil
back. Then with a sharp hoe cut
out all of the weak and diseased
plants left, leaving the plants about
six inches apart. These will oon
send out runner and form a new bed
by fell. In this way, much diseased
foliage and some insects are gotten
rid of. A good horse c%ultivator can
often be used instead of a pillow.
Some growers prefer to fruit the
bed only one season; in this case, as
as it is through fruiting, the
bed is plowed up and some late crop,
such as turnips or fodder corn, plant
ed on the land.

and he will be assisted in the ring by
George F. Charlesworth and J. F..
Wallcutt, Great Falls au~ctioneers.
Shorthorn men will be glad to know
that Harry L.. Summers of Salmon,
Idaho, formerly secretary of the
Montana Shorthorn association, will
be at the sale.
From the time plans first were
formed for the May 6 sale, Secretary
Wheeler has been laying stress on the
desirability of having only stock that
is first class and representative of
the herds from which it is c~onsign-
in the stable for this opening sale
in the new pavilion. This stock is
being fed and fitted and should be
to the buyers. The pedi-
grees disclose that it is a uniformly
well-bred lot of cattle.
Catalogs will be out before the
first of May and in the hands of the
Shorthorn breeders and others who
apply to the secretary's office for a
copy.

Building Up Wool Profits

The cash value of a crop of WOO
not only depends on the care and
management of the flock, during the
wool growing season, but the man
ner in which it is removed from the
sleeps back, packed and marketed.
The time to shear sheep depends
on conditions where proper barns
and sheds are provided to give the
animal protection, in case of cold,
damp weather. The wool may be
taken off as soon as the weather is
warm enough 20 cause the grease to
rise in the fleece. This adds weight,
gives the wool more life, and makes
shearing easier.
Where poor shelter is provided it
is best to wait until the weather is
settled and danger from cold wet
rains is past, because sheep take cold
more or less easily and this may re-
suit in loss to the flock.
Sheep that are not in lamb or
nursing lambs should be shorn first.
Ewes heavy with lamb may be in
jured during the shearing process.
Ewes nursing lambs may take cold
is likely to retard the flow of
milk, thus giving the lamb a serious
setback.
Plenty of Dry Bedding
Should cold weather set in after
shearing house the sheep in a dry

time, for orchard and garden go a
long way toward setting the table.
When the farmer stops to think,
he will realize that he perhaps sets
aside very little money each year to
improve the comforts of the home.
The farm woman hasn't the oppor-
tunity to enjoy all the amusements
furnished by the city. Therefore
home should be made especially at
tractive. Nothing adds to the gen.
eral appearance of a farm home more
than we'll painted buildings and well
kept yards. This also increases the
woman's pride in her home and is
an inducement for her to keep the
house more comfortable within.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-04-08
Don't Tie Too Tight

Do not tie the fleeces too tight
as it makes them appear too heavy
for the bulk and may cause the pur.
chaser to suspect a dishonest pack
age.
Wool should be tied in wool
sacks which average about seven
feet in length and hold about two
hundred and seventy-five pounds,
depending on the kind and condi-
ton of the wool. These bags should
be filled by means of a wool ring.
The bag is attached to the ring and
fastened so that the bag barely
touches the floor. A person gets in
the bag to pack the wool. 1t is a
good plan to keep the grades of wool
separate where enough fleece is
taken off to make it practical. 1t
should be the aim of the wool pro-
Queer to put a good honest package
of wool on the market.
The marketing of wool has been
unsatisfactory in the past, but as the
public realize more the value of
sheep the sheep population will in
crease materially. This increase will
make pooling more satisfactory, be-
cause larger quantities of wool can
be centralized thus giving more in
ducement to the buyers.
The pooling of wool will be edu-
cational as the grower will receive
the value of his wool based on the
grade, quality, condition and clean
Illness of the product.

place free from drafts using plenty
of dry bedding.
Sheep may be shorn either with
hand shears or the power machine.
The machine cuts more closely to
the body, does not make so many
second cuts, or as many cuts in the
animals body, and the inexperienced
person can do a much better job than
with the hand shears. Experienced
sheep shearers are getting scarce and
the average flock owner could we'll
afford to have a machine in order
that he might do his own shearing.
Before starting to shear have all
tools, twine bag, and place to do the
shearing handy. A clean dry floor
free from dirt and dust is an excel
lent place to do the work. This
should be close to the pen where the
sheep are kept, to avoid losing time
catching the animals.
Give a Close Cut
To do a good job shearing the
wool should be removed smoothly,
close to the body, in such a manner
that the fleece is not torn apart.
The animal is set on it's rump with
the body tilted backward against the
knees of the shearer, SO that the hind
feet do not touch the ground; thus
the animal cannot struggle so read
lily.
No certain method of procedure
in removing the fleece is recon-
mended, as most people do the job
a little differently. First shear down
the belly and sides, up on the neck,
around the sides and up the outside
of the hind quarters is a good prac-
tice.
After the fleece has been removed
all dung tags and wet portions
should be removed. The fleece should
be rolled in a neat bundle with the
flesh side out and tied with either
or wool Irvine, the former pre-
ferred. Sisel and like Irvine should
never be used as it adheres to the
wool and lowers it's value because it
will not take the dyes and is harm
full to the strength and finish of
cloth. The tying of the fleece may
be done by rolling it up or by the
use of the wool tying board. The
latter is to be preferred by the in
experienced person.
