GREAT ACTIVITY EX-
PECTED IN RADIO NEWS

With the approach of cold weather
renewed activity in the radio market
news service is planned by the Bu-
reau of Markets and Crop Estimates,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, for the eight months beginning
October 1. Atmospheric conditions
are unfavorable to radio communica-
ton in warm weather, and many anna
teurs and experimenters discontinue
their operations during the summer.
1t is expected, however, that with
the coming of autumn the interest in
radio activity will increase. Many
states have shown keen interest in the
development Of radio news service COW
ering market, crop and weather re-
ports. State cooperation is planned
by the bureau and will be taken up
with the various states within range
of the radio stations.
The states that cooperate will be
asked to determine the agency or
agencies that are to work with the
Federal bureau in order to prevent
duplication of effort. The handling
of news matter WI necessarily vary
with the different states, depending
on administrative organization, geo.
graphical position, climate, and other
factors.

circulation of the country's 2O.431
newspapers and periodicals showed
an increase of n per cent per issue
in five years. At the same time ad-
vertising increased 1915 per cent.
The American people are reading
the daily papers more than they have
e done in the past. The American
business man is using the daily news
paper more than ever before as a
vehicle for bringing his merchandise
before the public. These are the two
indusputable conclusions which might
be drawn from the statistics reported
by the Census Bureau. But there are
others. The American people will con-
tinue to read the daily papers and the
American business man will continue
to advertise in them in the days to
come. A newspaper in every home,
should be the slogan of the American
press; an advertisement in every issue
might we'll be the slogan of the pro.
gressive business man.-St. Louis

PIGEON FINDS WAY
AFTER EIGHTEEN DAYS

Seventeen days behind his fastest
companion, a wind-buffeted but plucky
homing pigeon pushed through the
trap that rings the automatic bell at
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture poultry husbandry farm at
B~eltsville Wednesday morning bearing
a message from Mayor Thompson, of
Chicago, to Congressman Martin B.
Madden, of Illinois. He is the third
to reach home out of 10 birds from
the farm, which were liberated as
part of the Chicago Pageant of Pro-
gress, July 30.
One of these broke a worlds record
by covering the 614R miles in 81
hours elapsed time, which, in the opin-
ion of Albert Jacobson, expert IN
charge of homing pigeons, means less
than Is hours actual flying. This bird
bore a message from Mayor Thomp-
son to President Harding. The speed
with which he covered the distance
seemed to indicate that he realized the
Importance of his errand, but when
he arrived at the home loft he was so
overcome with modesty that he slip
ped in without even ringing the sig
nal. supt. Jacobson had been making
hourly visits to the loft and found him
there. and the record was officially
clicked at the homing pigeon club.
The shortes. actual flying time ever
made before between the two points
was 25 hour.
The second bird, bearing a message
to Congressman Britten, arrived Au-
gust 7. Another, bearing a duplicate
reached Dry Fork Va, where
it became exhausted and was taken in
by a farmer. What misadventures

journey the attendants are unable to
tell. 1t is supposed that he became
weak and was obliged to stop and
search o food and shelter. That he
was able to resume his flight and find
his way is regarded at Beltsville as a
remarkable exhibition of the homine
instinct.

BANK NOT SAFE ANY MORE

There are two reasons why the
ladies have given up the idea of car-
rying their money in their socks.
Their petticoats are SO short that
there's no room at the top, and their
hosiery is so thin that the nasty porch
climber can see whether the bank has
money enough in it to pay fer robbing
it. Outside of that, the banks are in
good condition.

tive as a preventative Of goiter in the
newborn. The Montana Experiment
Station advocates the feeding of iodine
to pregnant domestic animals in Sec
lions of the northwest where poiter is
prevalent.
In a study of dairy farming in the
Plains area of Montana specialists of
the Montana Experiment Station have
found that there is no significant diff
ference in the yield of crops grown on
land broken in the fall and land broken
in the spring. Land that has been
broken in the fall has the advantage
that it can be seeded earlier than land
broken in the spring.
AS a protection from the glaring
sun of summer and severe cold winds
OF winter trees and shrubs contribute
much to the farm home. The land to
be planted should be we'll prepared
and fafiowed at least one year before
any attempt is made to start trees
and shrubs. Orders should be placed
in the early fall for stock to be de-
livered the following spring. AS the
result of years of experiment the Mon
tana Experiment Station has found
scores of trees suitable for shade or
wind break about the farm home in
Montana.
In the fall and early winter and
again in the early spring, the majority
of blackleg cases occur. Blackleg is
an acute infectious disease of young
cattle, each animal becoming infected
from the soil. Cattle between the ages
of 6 and 10 months are most COM
monty affected. Most cases of black
leg are found dead in the pasture
without any symptoms having been
noticed. There are no authentic in
stances of recovery. When an ami
NAL dies of blackleg the cattle should
be moved to higher pasture and vac
cine should be sent for and used on
the rest of the herd. Most cattlemen
vaccinate in the fall when weaving the
calves. At that time the yearlings
also are v~accinated so that each ami
NAL is vaccinated twice, once as a
calf and agains as a yearling.

Fanweed, a weed that is becoming
a great pest in the grain fields of
Montana, is not easily controlled. 1t
is probable that where this weed has
become established it will never be-
come eradicated and the problem is
to keep it down to such an extent that
it will not seriously reduce crop yields.
Young plants are easily killed, but new
ones appear constantly. Summer fall
low is the most important means of
keeping down the weed in grain fields.
Spring seeded grain crops where con-
ditions are favorable, should be raised
in preference to winter wheat where
fanweed is very abundant.
Mammoth Russian sunflowers have
been used successfully for silage pur-
poses for the past six years at the
Montana Experiment station. Sun
flower silage made from plants that
are 80 per cent in bloom compares
favorably in total digestible nutrients
with corn silage made from immature
corn. Little difference has been ex-
perienced in getting stock to eat SUM-
flower silage. 1t is preferred by cat
tie, sheep and swine. No Objectionable
odors con be detected in milk from
COWS fed green sunflowers or sun
flower silage.

The loco habit in stock is acquired
in the late summer and fall when the
grass and most other forage is dried
brown and the clumps of loco remain
green and attractive. The habit is
acquired, becomes worse, and the ami
NAL is soon a hopeless slave to it,
eating the loco and very little else.
Other animals immitate them and
soon the majority of the bunch be-
comes locoed. This is especially true
of sheep. 1t is best, therefore, to
closely watch a band of sheep or
horses when first placed on the range
where loco exists and at once remove
any animals observed to be eating the
weed.

Experiments with corn have been
conducted at the Judith Basin Expert
ment Satisfaction since 1908. Most of
the work has related to growing corn
in rotations and by different tillage
methods. Most varieties of corn have
been found cannot be depended upon
to mature a green crop. The grow
ing season is too short and the pre-
vailing temperatures too low to per-
NIT the development Of mature seed
corr in most years. Northwestern
Dent corn and some other varieties
can be generally depended upon to ap-
proach maturity near enough to make
a fine quality of fodder which can be
fed dry or as silage. The average
yield of corn in the rotations has been
more than twice as great as the aver
age yield of alfalfa, broom grass or
red clover.

The culling of hens serves three pur-
poses. 1t increases the profits, in
surfing the feed will be consumed by
the better producing hens; it makes
it possible to save the hens best suit
ed for breeders and thus gradually
increase the egg productions; and it
weeds out the poor hens and gives
more room and better chance to the
good hens remaining.
Farmers and stockmen of Montana
are interested in knowing the amount
of precipitation that may be expected
in any one locality. The Montana Ex-
pertinent Station has prepared an ex-
haustive study of weather conditions
in this state. The material is pre-
scented in the bulletin "a Report on
Montana Climate" and in another n
titled "A Further Report on Montana
Climate"
Farmers who depend upon buying
fruit for the home usually eat less
fresh fruit than a we'll balanced diet
really demands. 1t pays in dollars and
cents to grow an orchard on the farm.
Children who grow up on farms with
cut an orchard miss some of the real
pleasures and opportunities of farm
life. A little common sense, a little
information readily available and
easily acquired, and a little care are
al the specialization necessary to grow
a home orchard. There are very few
farming communities in Montana that
have no possibilities along this line.

Cheaper eggs always con be pre-
served for use in the winter time with
out considerable cost. Eggs which are
to be kept for a short time only can
be preserved by packing them in bran,
shorts, oats, sawdust or salt. Great
care must be taken to see that the
packing material is perfectly dry and
free from must or odors. The most
satisfactory method Of preserving
eggs has been by using either lime So
luton or water-glass. The lime So
luton is made by shaking three pounds
of good quicklime in a small amount
of water and adding the milk of lime
thus formed to three gallons of water.
Water-glass is easily prepared and
keeps eggs exceedingly well. The
water-glass (sodium silicate) should
be fairly thick and pour like medium
thick oil.
Dark, filthy poultry houses furnish
ideal conditions for parasites and u.s.
ually are infested. If permitted to
exist to any great extent, these pests
make great inroads on the flock and
are directly responsible for consider
able financial loss. The poultry house
should be thoroughly cleaned at least
twice a year by removing all the
straw, brushing down the walls and
roof, and scraping the floor. If run
ming water is available the house
should be washed out, boiling water
should be thrown over the walls, roof,
nests, and floor, other, the water
swept out, and then a coat of white
wash or strong coal tar dip should be
applied.
