Yet another special western prob
lem is the production of forage crops |
and in our mountain valleys especial
" a suitable large yielding crop for
the silo. 1t is an interesting fact |
that all of these needs are quite full !
ly met by the corn crop on the dry
farm and the sunflowers on the irri-
gated land. Some seven to eight
years ago the experiment station
grew its first Russian sunflcwers for
forage, about one-iifth OF an are.
they grew luxuriantly on the irrigat-
ed land and yielded at the rate of
over IS tons per acre. Put into a
silo as we were filling it with other
crops we found in the winter that
the livestock ate the sunflowers as
readily as the other ensiled crops.
The results of this work have spread
over the world, probably because of
the novelty of the idea of useing- the
whole sunflower plant as forage. In
lower valleys and in warmer districts
than at Bozeman there has been some
unsatisfactory results reported, but
for the higher irrigated. valleys of
the northwest l believe the sunflow-
er has become one of our permanent
forage crops.
The sunflower in it's earlier stages
of growth is crop that may be cul-
tivated as it is planted in rows and
is thus a soil cleaning crop. On the
dry land the intertilled crop has tC

tests we have made, extending over
IL years of our Judith Basin substa

years at the Huntley substation show
that corn best serves the various pur
poses demanded of an intertilleC
crop in the dry farm. When grow

corn produces in the average seasol
good crop of forage and yet con

1918, inclusive, corn yielded an aver
age of over 5000 pounds of field Gun
ed forage per acre per year or near
" twice as much as from any othe

At the Huntley substat.on for
eight years 1913 to 1920, inclusive,
and therefore covering the whole of
the dry period for the past four years
the yield of corn forage was about
$500 pounds per acre. In this dis
trict corn will ripen in the average
season and the average yield of corn
was about 20 bushels per acre for
the eight years. Here again we find
ti2St the Germ crop when properly
rown, IS excellent preparation for
succeeding grain crop, the small
grain yield after corn, grown with
merely disking the corn ground, Civ
ing close to the yields obtained after
summerfallow.
We find, too, that corn stubble has
considerable effect in preventing the
soil from drifting. Land when first
broken up does not drift as the sod
and the roots in the soil seem to act
as soil binder. AS the land con-
tues to be cultivated, however, the
sod and roots decay and with them
disappears the soil binder.
One of the important problems or
the dry farms in some sections anC
especially on the lighter soils is how
to prevent this blowing. A summer
titled crop such as corn protects thu
fallow field in the summer while tn,
stubble tends to hold the snow ant
, prevent blowing in the winter.
} Our experience especially on tn
: dry farm experiment fields at Hunt

' age crop, is going to occupy a yer

SMALL HOUSE FOR CHICKENS
New Lumber viii Make Best Appear
ance, but Packing Boxes Will
Answer Purpose Well.

In building a poultry house, new
lumber will of course make the best
appearing structure and will also be
somewhat easier to work up because
it can be bought in lengths most
advantageous for the purpose. Houses
for few hens can sometimes be
constructed from packing boxes, while
used material or secondhand lumber
if it can be purchased cheaply and
is close at hand, will sometimes lower
the cost of the house materially.
Occasionally, also,t where a high
board fence is available, the house can
be built in the corner of the fence
thus saving the construction of the
back and one side of the house. Care
must be used to cover or batten the
cracks, either by means of strips OF
by the use of roofing paper. Construct
the building so that the front of your
henhouse will admit the sunlight.

BARLEY GOOD FEED FOR HOGS
Use of This Grain for Pork Produc.
tion Has Increased in Impor-
tanct-Is Carbonaceous.

With the cessation of the extensive
mailing of trley, the use of this grain
for pork pi pioduction has increased in
Importance. According to the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
market price Of barley per pound, as
compared with corn, has frequently
been less, and it has been found profit
able to convert it into pork. Whole
barley is not desirable as a stock feed
on account of the hardness of the
grain. However, when the barley is
soaked or ground and soaked its feed
ing efficiency is greatly increased. AL
though barley contains little more
protein than corn, it is, primarily, a
carbonaceOuS feed. and must be used
with prote Il concentrate as a sup
plement. Generally, however, barley
is a less satisfactory feed than corn
for fattening hogs. The rapidity and
economy of g:.ins from barley depend
largely upon its quality.

From 80 to as Degrees-Large

The object of storing any product
is to preserve its quality during as
long a period as may be necessary or
possible in order to permit its dis
posal at the most advantageous time.
Investigations by the bureau of plant
industry, United States Department
Of Agriculture, show that the temper
ature best suited to the proper pres
ervation of potatoes is one ranging
from 81 to 40 degrees. In regions
where the pOwdery dry rot occurs a
temperature Of SO to SO degrees holds
the disease in check better than a
higher one.
1t is found best not to store pota-
toes in large piles when they are moist

through unfavorable weather condi-
tiOns it becomes necessary to store
potatoes when they are wet and dirty,
they should be spread out in thin
layer until they have become dry,
after which they may be piled up. 1t
is not desirable to store potatoes to a
greater depth than six feet.

Because the presence of garlic or
wild onion in wheat decreases its
market value materially, a special
study of the problem of marketing
wheat so tainted has been made by
the bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The purpose of the
study was to ascertain how such wheat
is purchased from producers, as re-
CARDS grades and price at the primary
grain markets of Maryland, and the
effect, if any, on the producer.
The average garlic content of Al
samples of Maryland wheat taken
from wagons, elevators, bins, and mills
was 40 bulblets TO a pound. Millers
were unanimous in saying that the
presence of garlic greatly decreases
the milling value for a number of rea-
sons, such as the greater risks from
spoilage, the extra cleaning and pre-
paration required for milling, the
lower flour yields, the greater cost of
manufacturing, and the lower market
value of the resultant flour.
BubIets Vary in Size.
Garlic bulblets range in size from
that of q kernel of wheat to that of a
pea seed The specific gravity of the
bulblets is less than that of the wheat
kernel, though it varies with the sea-
son and with the weather conditions.
The bulblets are heaviest at harvest
time, as later the moisture evaporates
and they lose weight. The greater
risk of spOilage in garlicky wheat is
due to the Preventative or germinative
action in wheat started by the alb
sOrption of moisture from the garlic
bulblets. AS this is a slow process,
the danger of spoilage is slight where
grain is handled or moved frequently.
None of the special cleaners for re-
moving the garlic is entirely satisfac-
tory. Some of them remove too small
a part of the garlic, and some remove
too much wheat when removing the
garlic. 1t was noted that the con-
ditiOn of the bulblets had more of an

MANURE SPREAD OVER FIELD
Suns Rays Get at Every Part of 1t
When Scattered Evenly, Destroy
ing Bacteria.

When manure is spread evenly over
the surface of field the suns rays get
at every part of it. This is a factor
of much Importance, since sunlight Is
one of bacteria's greatest enemies.
Through it they are either killed or
rendered dormant. Furthermore, the
waste begins to dry up-a fact which,
even without the action of sunlight,
would render the bacterial life mac
tive. Thus, the formation of ammonia
is checked in short order as a result
Of the breaking up Of the conditions
which are favorable to bacterial life.
1t should be remembered in this con-
nection that no loss enSues when ma
nure spread as a thin layer over the
surface of field is permitted to dry
out. 1t loses nothing under such con-
ditions save moisture. If, while lying
in this fashion in field, it becomes
wet through rain or melting snow
nothing worse happens than a washing
of the soluble portions directly into the
soil where it is desired they should go.
All possibility of further decay and
heating has been eliminated by the
simple process of rearranging the
waste from that of heap to that of a
thin layer spread over the surface.

in the fall, when other work is not
pressing, only disking or narrowing
will be required in the spring.
Fall plowing serves valuable pur-
poses. 1t permits the ground to store
up moisture from winter SHOWS and
rains, and often dislodges eggs and
larvae of insect pests which had found
snug winter quarters in the soil, ex-
posing them so they will be killed
by the cold. Stubble and other vege-
table matter left from the harvest, if
turned under in the fall, has many
more months to rot and become in
corpOrated with the soil
Whether to plow in the fall is Of
course largely a question of local con-
ditiOns and individual judgment Sandy
soils, for instance, may be rendered
liable to blowing if plowed and left
unseeded all winter. Heavy soils are
usually benefited by fall plowing.

For various spring g-sown crops,

fall plowing a profitable operation in
many sections. AS an economic meas
ure, it prevents the piling up of work
at a critical period. Spring grain
usually can be sown to advantage as
soon as the frost is out and the ground
is dry enough to work, and it is to the
farmers advantage to have it in the
ground as early as practicable. The
greatest obstacle to early planting is
getting the ground in shape. On

THERE IS VIGOR
IN RICH BLOOD
Pepto- Mangan in Liquid or Tab
IetS-a Blood Builder.

Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich when
there are plenty of red corpuscles.
They are the tiny red cells which swim
in blood and give it its color. Without
red corpuscles blood would be white.
When overwork, or straining, or ILL
ness weakens the blood, it diminishes
the number of red cells. Without a
sufficient number of red cells the blood
becomes watery, the body weak. Vigor
and strength fall off, so that physical
life diminishes like fading plant. The
physical pleasures of eating and sleep
ing and exercise lose all attraction.
There is no zest in living.
After GUIDES Pepto-Mangan has been
taken for a while the blood becomes
rich with red cells, They help to nour-
ish the entire system. With good blood
at work there is a great difference in
living. Eating, sleeping and exercise
are enjoyed. All druggists sell Gude's
