history of former years is that when
livestock is low is good time to
buy.
In this land Of good pastures, the
mixtures are many. 1t is advisable
to have mixture OF grasses for
several reasons. In the first place
a thicker sod is obtained by mix
ture and hence a greater carrying
power. Furthermore, with a properly
selected mixture, there is laways some
grass just coming into prime, some
thing new and succulent to temp the
stock in every month OF the grazing
season. Different farmers have their
individual mixtures which they most
prefer. In most Of these mixtures
about 20 pounds to the acre are plant
ed. Blue grass is the premier of all
pasture grasses and forms the basis
of most mixtures. Timothy is anoth-
er grass that is found in practically
all the different formulas and orch
ard grass, red top the different
clovers and alfalfa are planted in
smaller amounts. A good pasture is
not the product of a single season, it
takes years to make it and once OBJ
tanned it is someting not lightly to
be discarded. In England, where per-
haps farming is on a more permanent
basis than in most localities in this
country, there are pastures which
have been in existence for hundreds
of years.
/. D. O'Donnell of Billings, an ag-
hiculture expert and what is more
a practical farmer, estimates that
Montana is from 1,50O, 900 to 100000
head of livestock below normal. AnC
livestock is cheap. 1t would seem
that the present is an ideal time to
get started on the. road that leads
to the best in farm life, TO perman-
emily profitable farming. Even thi:
winter, at low pork prices, it has
been more profitable to feed blue
barley to hogs than to sell it at the
elevator. With grain prices threaten
ing to be low for a term of year:
it looks as though the same rule
would apply to most grains, that
feeding them to livestock is NOR,
profitable than hauling them to th
elevator. 1t is worth the study O.
any farmer and that study should b.
given now, for one cannot chang
from grain TO livestock over night
You cannot run livestock at a profi
unless you have feed, in other word
pastured. 1t takes more than a singI
season, as we have said, to make
good pasture and hence if farmer
!, contemplate the change, it would b
1 well to start that pasture this comm
. spring. The pasture ceres are tn
most valuable and most lucrative o

tion hen must have plenty of good
wholesome feed which is properly
balanced for egg production. The
thing that many rations lack is ami
NAL protein which is absolutely essen
tial for egg production and which can
be supplied only by worms and bugs,
meat scraps or milk. On most farms
the hens will get worms and bugs
for a short season in the spring but
in most cases this supply of protein
does not last through the summer and
must be supplied. Where milk is
available the hens should have all the
sour milk or buttermilK they will
drink. In case milk is not to be had,
commercial meat scraps or tankage
should be>supplied in the dry mash.
Hens need shade, green food and
plenty of fresh water in the summer
time.
A ration which has been giving ex-
cellent results at the university and
one which can be recommended as
efficient and easy to provide is as
follows:
Grain ration consisting of so lbs.
of corn, 80 lbs. Of wheat and 40 lbs.
Of oats is fed as scratch feed in a
deep litter of straw. The dry mash
which consists of 50 lbs. of bran, 80
lbs. of shorts and so lbs. of meat
scraps is fed in dry mash hopper
which is left open at all times. A
check is kept on the feed fed to make
sure that it is consumed in about the
proportions named, which is lbs
grain to one Of mash. If too much
grain is eaten cut down On it and the
hens will consume mere II ash. II

GROWTH or DAIRY CLUBS IN
MONTANA
(By Chas. Pottery

The dairy cattle clubs are organized
among the boys and gir-s OF Mon
tana between the ages Of 10 and IS,
by the boys and girls club depart
ment Of the State college co-operat- |
ing with the county farm bureau, says
Chas. Potter who is the state club |
leader. The dairy club work start
ing out several years ago as the calf
project has expanded until it now
represents all the elements Of good
dairy husbandry practice. Club lead
ers have found out through experience
that starting the member with a
calf and trying to maintain his in
terest for several years until the heif-
er came into production was a long
process, and after a short while the
interest Of the member waned and
there was little or no result after the
first year.
In keeping with this experience
the boys and girls club department
has organized the dairy cattle club
of three divisions, consisting of the
dairy calf club, dairy heifer club, and
dairy cow club. The demonstration
is so drawn that the club members
may carry out any one of the three
lines Of work during the year or he
may start on any one of the three
phases and continue the other two in
their logical order.
The lack of pasture and high price
of feed and a general scarcity of
money has retarded development
among the dairy cattle clubs. At the
same time the progress has been
steady and permanent. In 1919 thirty
girls and boys were engaged in carry
ing for a dairy calf under the direc-
tion of the farm bureau. A marked
increase was made in 1920 when fifty
boys and girls undertook the work.
The most interesting development
in the dairy cattle club during the
past year occurred in Wheatland
county. Through the cooperation of
local bankers eleven purbred heifers
were distributed among club mem
bers of this county. These heifers
were purchased from a we'll known
dairy farm in Montana and there was
no loss in development because they
were acclimated which is not always
the case when cattle are shipped in
from another state. After exhib-
iting at the Wheatland County fair,
these heifers were taken to the State
fair where they won prizes in the
boys and girls division as well as in
the open classes.
The influence of this calf club up
on the dairy industry of Wheatland
will probably be more effective than
any other activity Of dairying that
has been started in the county. At
present plans are on foot to reorgan-
ize club and form a mucous for {
Holstein breeders association.
The records which the members OF
the dairy cattle club have kept dur
ing the past year show that raising
dairy calves is a profitable farm ac-
tivity. These records show a profit
of $2,301.84 from 80 calves.

now in progress have brought recess
sions in the prices of nearly every
commodity of life, it is of the utmost
significance that rents have not re-
ceded generally and that the tendency
of prices for housing accommodations
is toward higher levels, thus maxi
ing more substantial the income from
property.
1T is also noted that a welI-defined
sentiment against higher interest
rate than per cent for first-claSs
real estate mortgages is making itself
felt
"Unquestionably far-reaching and
permanent readjustment of income
from real estate investments is taking
place. 1t is fact generally conceded
that in many instances and localities
income from improved property
previous to the war was too low.
Estates and large holders of realty
were in such cases not able to. secure
a return cmmensurate with the in
come derived from many other forms
of investment 80
..An indefinite continuation of these
conditions would mean a slowing
down of the building industry, and the
present establishments of rental in
come, therefore, is a very favorable
indication and will help the entire
housing situation and real estate mar
ket.
while there has been a great
amount of public agitation against the
present range of rents, it must be
borne in L ind that any conditions or
influences whether they be legislative
or economic which have the ultimate
effect of diverting capital from build
ing investments to other channels,
simply impose additional hardships
on the public in the. long run The
law of supply and demand must hold
full sway in the final analysis.
Property rights must be safeguarded,
and if the nations housing conditions
are to be restored to normal, every
thing possible must be done to en-
courage the flow of capital thru these
channels. of investment and not di-
vert it elswhere thru adverse legiSla-
ton which would stop progress or
thru unsound financing brought about
by too high interest rates on real
estate investments.
1.-The first consideration of capital
seeking investment is safety. Efforts,
therefore, to attract capital at exor-
bitant rates of interest must necessar-
lily be viewed with distrust. The two
great dangers of q too high interest
rate may be epitomized as follows:
''First-a corporation paying an in
flated price for capital is endangering
it's future security. The purchasing
power of the dollar is just about one
half what it was five years ago, which
means that a corporation must borrow
twice as much money to meet the
same ends as was the case a half
decade ago. If, in addition, it pays an
inflated interest charge it is INDUCING
in practices that must weaken the
financial structure and place the safety
of its obligations in jeopardy.
''Second-exorbitan interest rates
necessarily encourage profiteering.
Thus. where too high a rate is paid to
attract capital it necessarily means un-
just and inflated rents beyond the
ability and Willingness of the public
to pay.
1.-The tendency, therefore, to keep
the interest rates on high grade first

tive figure will rebound to the ulti-

uation.
In addition to the readjustment of
property income now in progress, other
factors are tending to keep rents a;
present levels. In the first place, tax
alton has been growing continually
heavier and there is no immediate in
dication that these charges will be-
come lighter, as all governmental
bodies are being operated at greatly
increased costs. In the second place.
we are continually developing better
standards Of living, Finer buildings,
more extensive improvements and con-
veniences and q better environment
are continually being demanded by the
public 1t is because of this restless
impulse that civilization has advanced
thru the medium of the arts and sci
ences, and these conditions will con-
tinue as long as human nature remains
unchanged. These increased comforts
and conveniences must mean CORE
spondingly increased prices. We also
must remember that the cost of oper-
ating buildings is much higher than
formerly was the case.
THE tremendous housing shortage
said to approximate some 2,000,O 900
homes thruout the nation also will
continue to have an important bearing
on rents and the income from property
It is to the best interests of the public
! that this abnormal shortage be elimi-
mated as speedily as. possible and the
various developments heretofore out
lined lend encouragement to the belief
that a great revival of building soon
will begin to manifest itself"

MAKE FARM SELF-SUPPORTINC

Clemson College, Nov. 28.-"Und-
er boil weevil conditions it is consid-
cred important for each farmer to
raise as nearly all of the staple food
and feed crops as possible to supply
all needs of the landlord, the tenants
and the livestock. A survey which was
made of South Carolina in 1920 re-
veals the fact that this state does not
produce enough syrup to supply the
needs of tire rural population of tie
state by something like 100000; !;
that there is deficit of wheat of
more than 100000 bushels, of hay
over 100000 tons, of hogs of $780,
900; and that we do not have dairy
cattle enough to supply the needs of
the rural population by 100000. 1t
was also found that there were a
number of counties in the state which
did not produce corn enough to sup
ply the home needs.
"All of these things can be grown
at home much more cheaply than they
can be purchased from other sections,
and producing them should not inter-
fere with the production of the staple
cash crops but should round out a
well balanced cropping system. On
any farm on which good rotation is
followed for the purpose of building
up soil fertility of the land and main
taing a system of diversified agricul-
ture, all of these crops can be grown
economically to good advantage"

THE BOUGHT sENAToRsHIP

They had very lively times in Con-
gress just before the adjournment
in discussing the Ford-Newberry
contest. The election of Newberry as
Senator from Michigan showed an ex-
penditure of 100000.
AS the salary of Senator is only
$500 it will be seen that Newberry
must have put a very high estimate
on the honor of being a Senator.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, from
Ohio, conducted the case against
Newberry with great tact and abili-
ty as we'll as with uniform fairness.
That Senator Pomerene was MAX
ing a powerful plea for the sanctity
of the election of Senator is evil
denced by the fact that at one time
only seven Republican Senators kept
their seats while Mr.. Pomerene was
speaking. They could not stand the
terrific blows that the Ohio Senator
was planting upon their weak de-
fence.
But then the Republicans are in
the majority and they will not be dis
posed to unseat one of their own
Senators on matters how he gained his
seat.
