FARM MACHINERY is GIVEN
BIG BOOST IN NORTHWEST

The bureau of research and sta
tistics of the Washington State Re-
tailers' association has confirmed re-
ports that the principal manufacture
ers of farm machinery in the United
States have advanced their factory
prices from 10 to 25 per cent.
The increased have extended over
a period of so days, the percentage
of increase varying somewhat with
the manufacturer. According to the
information received by the bureau
an average increase for the various
kinds of farm implements is as fol-
lows:
Grain drills, II IL to 20 per cent;
plows, 10 to 25 per cent, according to
the amount of wood and cast iron;
feed cutters, s per cent; cutting ma
chinery, 10 per cent; machinery COM
posed largely of cast iron and wood,
rs per cent; machinery involving
mostly steel, 10 to IL per cent.
Increasing cost of production is
given by manufacturers as the rea-
son for the advance which is forced
upon retailers of the northwest.

FARMERS AND COOPERATIVE
FIRE AND HAIL INSURANCE

Whatever may be done by corpora
tions for profit may be done more
economically by the people them
selves through cooperation. Insur-
ance involving the risk of loss by fire,
hail or sudden death is business re-
quiring an accumulation of capital
or an accumulation of credit. 1t can
be conducted by a corporation for
profit or by cooperation of the in
sured for service by pooling their
credit. There are two kinds of CO.
operative insurance: that operated
by the state and that operated by CO.
operative societies made up of the
actual participants who pay only
enough in premiums to meet losses
and the actual expense of operation.
In Europe and the older states the
cooperative idea has been developed
to a remarkable degree of perfection.
Cooperative buying and co-opera-
tive selling of manufactured goods
and farm products has done much to
cut out the arasites-middle men
and reduce the cost of living. Coop
erative banks and cooperative insur-
ance is rapidly displacing the old line
institutions operated for profit and
exploitation.
There is no reason why the farm
ers of Montana, or of any other
state for that matter, should not
carry their own fire and hail insur-
ance and at much less cost to them
than when carried by the old line in
surance companies. This has been
and is being demonstrated by the
American Society of Equity which in
1916 organized fire and hail insur-
ance department which at the present
time is carrying nearly 100000 of
fire insurance at cost, thus saving to
The farmers thousands of dollars in
lower premiums but also keeping |

financial centers to be used to ex-l
oloit the very farmers from whom it
vas collected.-Campbell's Scientific

MONTANA CATTLE HERDS
ARE BEING SHIPPED HOME

Either on the road from Texas, Ne
braska and other states or on the old
stamping grounds in the Grow and
Blackfeet reservations and some
other parts of the state, are $4,000
head of cattle which were pastured
elsewhere during the winter, accord
ing to E. A. Phillips, secretary of the
state livestock commission.
Some losses were experienced by
shippers because of bad and late
snowfall which fell recently in the
middle western states. The majority
of the cattle just arrived or on the
road for Montana from other feeding
grounds are billed for the Crow In
dian reservation in the southern part
of the state, according to Phillips,
who adds that a number are also go

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
BE READY WITH SECOND CROPS

then put in the big yellow or ruta-
bagas to be put in the cellar. They
are better keepers and of better fla
yor than the whites for winter stor-
age.
Sow carrots as second crop, thin
them to six inches and let them grow
till hard frost before digging. Like
wise beets. Anything that can be put
in the cellar is so much money in the
pocket these days.
A dozen late cabbages to store,
means real money when you have to
pay 10 cents a pound.
The real secret of gardening is to
keep the ground busy and lay some
thing by.
There are always second and even
third crops of sweet corn and string
beans to be planted, to be canned and
dried as we'll as eaten fresh, but the
one item of the vegetable garden that
can be most economically handled is
the root crop. They need no previous
Merely a cool cellar,
so that they will not shrivel is all
that is needed. If the cellar is too
warm because of furnace, store
them in dry sand or earth with an oc-
casional sprinkling and they may be
dug out plump and full any time de-
sired.
Think how far two peoks of carrots
will go, compared with buying them
by the pound at the grocers, and the
same with beets, turnips, and even
onions.
When the early spring and summer
are done, put in some
thing for late summer or fall and
always with an eye to the. winter
supply. GU can plant up till the mid
lie of July.

Gull Hens With Care

Poultrymen as rule are not as
we'll informed of the laying qualities
of their hens, as they should be. Too
many simply Gull out the hens that
are two years old and ship them to
market whether they are great lay
ers or not. This is mistake. The
dairyman who would proceed on that
plan would ruin his business in few
DAYS. Discriminate as to the relative
value of your layers. A hen of fine
vigor, handsome and healthy, and
that lays even tolerably we'll, is worth
keeping these times.

Health and Management

The thing for the practical poultry
man to do is to keep his fowls and
chicks in good health, SO that ma
lures power to resist disease, that
power which develops toxins which
hold in check the germs that would
develop, Is maintained at its maxi
mum strength This is the job of the
poultryman. And, accordingly, you
will find that the ordinary success
full poultryman knows very little of
disease, but he knows great deal
about health and good management.

CROP OF LAMBS
BELOW NORMAL
MONTANA WOOL CROP WILL
ALSO BE LIGHTER THIS YEAR,
WOOL MEN REPORT
Price Is Mooted Question as Yet, but
1t Is Stated That the Quality of
Most of Wool Grown in the State
Will be Better Than Last Year;
Shearing Prices.

Montana's lamb crop is lower than
usual, the wool clip will not be as
large and speculation is rife as to
prices compared with last year, ac-
cording to prominent wool growers
of all parts of the state, who are pre-
pairing to start shearing about June
10 in this part of the state.
Similar conditions in regard to a
low percentage of return on the
lamb crop are reported from Wash
ington and the greater sheep raising
sections of Idaho. Washington wool
has been sold under contract at 40
cents, but the general tendency tht
year among the big producers is to
hold their clips until the market is
definitely established rather than to
contract in advance.
Shearers who have already arrived
in the central and western part of
the state and are ready to go to work
have made agreements to shear this
years clip for II 1-2 cents a head.
The average sheep shearer will clip
about 100 animals a day, bringing
$3.50 and board a day during sea-
son.
Lamb crops of the northwest are
less than last year for two reasons,
sheepmen say. They eplain that not
only are there fewer sheep here this
year than last but also the losses
were heavy in many places, due to
the cold and rainy weather which
occurred at lambing time and that
the range LANDED bands in some parts |
of Idaho will not show so per cent |
increase. The normal increase in
lambs is from 10 to $50 per cent.
However, the optimistic woolgrow-
ers of Montana, who came through |
the winter with their bands in good |
shape by feeding, say that they will
get good prices because the wool is
longer and of better quality than
in several years because of the bet
ter feeding which they were COM
PEELED to give their bands during the
long winter, and the greater care is
reflected in better wool. Southern |
Idaho sheepmen are getting a good |
clip and the Montana clip will be fair,
to the experts. Yakima
sustained heavy losses
in the lamb crop because of cold and
rain, getting an average of only 100 II
Der cent increase and the usual in h
,rease is from 120 to 40 per cent.
Poor grass at lambing time added ,

living ewes sufficient sustenance.

In the Garden
By Leroy Cady

Keep the garden crops free from
weeds and we'll titled. 1t is easier tt
kill the weeds when they are small
Late celery and cabbage may be
set now. Plant plenty of each.
Again the Mayday tree and the
Towering currant have demonstrated
their value in home ground paintings.
They were the first shrubs out this
year.
Give the peonies plenty of water at
blooming time.
1t is important in setting a plant
in the garden to firm the soil thor
oughly about the tops of the roots,
leaving the top inch of soil loose.
Cultivation is always of more value
than irrigation in the garden. When
it is necessary to apply water, see
that enough is put on to moisten the
roots to the tips.
Spray currant and gooseberry
bushes with arsenate of lead or dust

Keep the ground working Begin
to think now, when there is a wealth
of green vegetables in sight, of the
cold winter months, when every yege-
table, green or canned, means the
paying out of a substantial sum of
money, for vegetables are by no
means the tail of the kite of the high
cost. Even on the smallest patch
there is something that can be raised
and put away in the cellar, either a
root crop in its natural state or a
canned or dried crop.
The radishes, young onions, and
lettuce are now either disable or are
within sight of harvesting. When
they are gone, the ground is avail
able. Green peas always leave larg-
er stretch of vacancy than any other
early vegetable. 1t is usual with an
old time gardener to put the pea
patch into turnips. 1t is a wise plan,
but nobody wants quite as many tur-
nips as the ground space for the peas
usually furnishes. The twelfth of
July, wet or dry, is the distum to
plant turnips for winter, but they
may be planted before. However,
that is the date which about clears
off the early peas.
Of the easily grown root crops
which may be put in the cellar, these
are sure fine crops, and once put in
the ground, hoed enough to put down
the growth of weeds, may be left to
their own devices till harvested: tur-
nips, carrots and beets. Parsnips
and vegetable oyster may be left in
the ground over winter and dug when
ow part of the pea patch to tur-
nips for an early fall crop of the
