While Montana used commercial
fertilizer for which it paid $126,232
in 1919. it likewise wasted more than
s1,170,000 worth of fertilizer during
the same year.
A considerable portion of the fer

The fertilizer wasted was the am

for crop production.
According to the federal census fig.

TREASURE STATE FARM and LIVESTOCK
STARTING the LAYERS ON
the WINTER EGG CAMPAIGN

Hens that devote too much atten-
ton early in the season to the fall
styles in feathers are not the kind
that please the flock owner. 1t costs
too much to support them and they
demand too long a vacation period.
But the hen that wears her old
clothes until autumn has almost pass
ed is the best of the flock. for she
has kept on laying since the previous
fall or winter. So now when you see
a bird that looks shabbier than the
others, do not conclude that she is Of
the no-account kind and that her
smartly dressed sisters are the ones
to keep.
OF course some Of the hens that
moulted earlier. say in August and
September, are profitable enough to
keep, but the cream Of the flock is
made up of the hens that do not
change their feathers until October
or November. Their melting will re-
quire only few weeks and they will
probably be laying again by the 1st
OF January. The poor ones. the early
melting loafers. will not begin until
about this time, even though they
have been resting since the middle OF
the summer. It takes one about two
months and the other twice that long
to get back into production.
The poultry keeper who has an eye
for business will not neglect this
| worn-looking late layer. for she is
the best profit maker he has. She
needs a highly nutritious ration ii
she is to be in the best of condition
to start on another year of high pro-
duction. When she quits laying and
starts to mott she has as much need
for a ration strong in protein as she
has when she is Smelling out the eggs

their makeup. They use the mater

ers in healthy, glossy condition
Hens that lay eggs late in the fall
and in the winter are really produc'
ing an out-of-season crop, for it is
normal for the hen to lay for a time
in the spring and early summer and
then rest for the remainder of the
year Profitable hens are really
those that have the capacity to force
their egg-making machinery. but

UNITED STATES IS NOW
GREATEST FUR PRODUCER

The United States in the past few
years has become the greatest fur
country in the world, doing
a business in furs running from $780,
100000 to s100,000,000 year and
far outstripping northern Canada,
Alaska and Siberia, long considered
supreme as fur producing centers.
Fur bearing animals abound in the
great farming districts of this coun-
try and thousands are captured each
year by trappers. While skunk and
muskrat are the most important and
most numerous of these animals
found, there are plenty of mink, rae
coon and other small members of the
furry tribe which the willy trapper
may take in the open season at a
good profit.
The season now open promises to
be the best in many years in point
OF the number of animals taken and
the prices paid for raw furs. Very
little trapping was done last season.
The drop in values which came dur
ing the previous summer hit the fur
market hard, leaving an immense col
lection OF high-priced furs in the
hands of the buyers.
In order to save the market from
complete ruin. this great aecumula-
ton had to be disposed of before a
large new supply reached the market,
SO buyers urged trappers to lay off
for season until the market became
stabilized. Trappers generally heed
ed the request and the fact that furs
were not wanted and values were low
did much to further the inactivity.
The result has been genuine scar
city of furs. The great accumula-
ton has been worked Off and the
market is in a receptive condition for
large amounts of raw furs. Inter-
views with leading buyers reveal that
will be very high-in fact the high
est ever offered compared with con-
temporary values in other commodi-
ties.
In the years preceding the world
war, trappers received from 20 to SO
cents each for muskrat pelts and
from one dollar to three dollars for
skunk pelts. Living costs then were
40 per cent lower than they are to-
day and wages show about the same
difference. BY comparing these con-
ditions with prices prevailing today it
is shown that muskrats are worth
three times as much as they were
then, while other furs are proportion
ately higher.
The high prices of today and the
abundance Of fur-bearing animals
offer an opportunity to the trappe,
which has seldom been equaled.

should be encouraged to put away as
much feed as possible during the day
so that their bodies will have plenty
to work on for all of the "a hours.
A good handful of scratch grain for
each bird at night will fill the crop.
1t is not desirable that the hens be
made to work very hrd for this feed.
BE sure that the hens go to roost
with a full crop.
In making up the rations It Is me-
cessary to adhere to standards within
certain limits, but some feeds may be
substituted for others, as barley,
wheat. and oats for corn. However,
meat scrap and other animal-protein
feeds can not be replaced by high
vegetable-protein feeds. All changes
should be made gradually. as sudden
changes may decrease the egg pro-
duction.
A great many poultrymen and live
stock feeders now believe that II the
animal has free choice it will select
the ration that is most suitable. At
the government farm at Belsville,
Md. the following mash was made up
by keeping account of the amounts
OF the different feeds laying flock
consumed:
Samples of Balanced RatiOns
Mash-16 pounds corn meal, 6h
pounds meat scrap. l pound bran, l
pound middlings.
! Scratch MIXTURE pound cracked
corn. l pound wheat, l pound oats.
! Here is simple ration that has
given very good results with Leg
horns, but proved too fattening for
Rocks and Wyandottes. Meat scrap.
it will be seen, makes up over Is per
cent of the mash:
| Mash-3 pounds corn meal, and l
pound meat scrap.
Scratch MIXTURE pounds crack
ed corn, pound oats.
For birds that are made too fat
by the preceding ration. the follow
ing, containing only 16 per cent of
meat scrap but having considerable
protein in other feeds, has been
found good one:
| NASH pound corn meal. pound
bran. 3-4 pound meat scrap, pound
middlings, pound ground oats.
| Scratch MIXTURE pounds crack
ed corn. pound wheat, l pound
oats. pound barley.
Poultrymen resort to every pos
sible means to get their hens to eat a
great deal of feed, especially in the
winter when the days are short. One
way is to cut the morning scratch
feed to about half. The hungry bird
then goes to the mash trough and
| gorges on the dry mash. Then to in
crease the consumption of mash some
of it is fed wet at noon and the hens
will eat it when they would take nc
more OF it dry
