GalIatin County Wins Many Premiums
Display At Cnan Proves One of best many
BOYS AND GIRLS OF COUNTY MAKE GREAT RECORD IN
EVERY DIVISION. CANNING TEAM
AT SIOUX CITY

Gallatin county's champion jelly
making team, consisting of Mia Par
kin, Helen Crozier and Edith Swingle
competed this week in the Inter-
State club demonstration contest at
Sioux City, Iowa. They have with
them Miss Emily Linhof Of the Mon
tana State college.
These girls were awarded the first
prize at the state fair in Helena last
week and the award consisted of a
iree trip to the interstate contest.
Winning over all competitors in the
canning demonstration at Helena was
a real victory for the girls as they
were compelled to go against the most
intense competition. The girls were
placed second at the boys and girls
lair at Belgrade, the result of some
unfortunate trouble with the heater
which did not do good work for them.
After the contest they decided to go
independently to the state fair and
enter the contest. They are now the
state champions, and without doubt
VIII be placed high in the scoring at
Sioux City, where the years work in
boys and girls training will be brot
to a close.
There were many Individual prizes
won by the girls at the state fair
which brought them quite tidy sum
of money and will come in handy for
them on their trip to the east. They
are taking with them several of the
winning exhibits.

In the stock judging contest Ron
aid Axtell, Ralph Stucky, and Verne
Ballantyne represented the Gallatin
county high school in one event and
the county of Gallatin in another. In
both of these contests they came off
with the second prize amounting all
together to $3.50, which the boys di-
vided among themselves.
These boys are all members of the
agricultural department of which J.
Fred Cline is the instructor. They
are members of the boys and girls
club and were winners at the Belgrade
fair, with individual exhibits of live
stock. Their winning at the state fair
is very creditable, not only to them,
but to the agricultural department Of
the Gallatin county high school. There
were II teams entered in the stock
Judging contest, some of them having
been in practice for the past two
years. The winning by the Gallatin
boys deserves even greater credit
than would be the case ordinarily, as
they had but three days practice be-
fore going into the contest at Helena.
In the baby beef department Gala
tin county came off with all the hon
ors, winning from first to fifth
prizes. And the interesting feature
of this particular division was the
fact that two girls took away the first
and second awards. Eula and Hazel
Thompson won first and second, re-

been called by the division of grain
standards. and marketing of the de-
partment of agriculture, labor and in
dustry at Helent next Monday, Sep

that some elevators in Gallatin coun-
ty are charging only two and half
cents a bushel on wheat and some in
F'lathead county only two cents q
bushel.

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

Mir William A Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm. for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer he Is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A.

 during the month of March, which gives the young pigs an early start, a thing sought by all successful swine raisers. But when young pigs come along in March, both they and their mothers need weathertight, sunny house, or not many of the youngsters will be brought to maturity.
 It is this profitable method of breeding-that Is, breeding for early spring farrowing-that has caused farm building architects to design such hog houses as the one shown in the accompanying illustration. This building is of substantial frame construction, set on concrete foun- iation. Its outside walls are oc matched siding, so that the wind and cold cannot get in. At the same time it Is so designed that maximum of spring sun will be admitted to all heat to the heat thrown off by the sows. The windows also permit good ventilation, which prevents the air in the house from becoming moist and "clammy."
 The hog house shown in the illus traitor Is 37 feet long and 24 feet wide. This size will accommodate 12 pens, each 6 feet wide and 9 feet long A six,foot alley. or passageway, extends through the center of the building, for the convenience of the caretaker in feeding and removing the litter. Each pen has feed trough at the feeding alley. A part of the pen floor is covered with blanks, raised from the concrete so as to permit circulation of air under heath. This plank floor holds the plentiful supply of bedding that little pigs need and prevents the young sters from coming In contact with the cold cement floor. Around the three sides of the pen Is rail, raised slightly from the floor, to give the pigs place where they will be safe from being crushed by the mother.
 The building should be set on a site slightly higher than the ground around 1t, so as to provide good drain

 The Hamburg, said to have originat- ed in Holland, although the name has come from the German city of Ham- burg, is small fowl, if anything, smaller than the Leghorn. There Is more or less variation in size among the varieties, the Black and Silver Spangled tending to run largest. There are no standard weights for this breed. In type it resembles the Leghorn very closely. The birds are neat bodied, well rounded. and we'll finished throughout. The comb is rose, ana runs rather large for the size Of the bird. The ear lobes are of good size, white and nearly round.
 Hamburg Popular in Europe.
 The Hamburg lays white eggs, and the birds are classed as nonsitting and nonbroody. Tn Europe these birds have an envlable reputation as layers of large numbers of eggs, but they have not been kept and bred exten- sively along that line in this country. The small size of the egg has been ono reason for this.
 An interesting peculiarity of the Sumatra. one of the Oriental class. Is the small red ear lobe on hen laying n white egg. The breed Is classed gen erally as broody, and the hens have the reputation of being excellent moth- CTS. The Sumatras are black through out. the surface having very highly developed green sheen. while the un- dercolor is dull black.
 The Frizzles, in the miscellaneous class, are peculiar birds. In an ex- hibition they are certain to attract at tention. Their principal characters tic is the peculiar feathering. Instead of the feathers growing In the usual manner they have curled or curved appearance, the end of the feather tending to curl up and back toward the fowls head. A considerable varia- tion occurs in the amount of this curv- ing. but the more pronounced 1t Is the better. The comb should be single, and the number of toes four. A num- her of colors are allowed in the Friz- zles. without dividing the breed into separate varieties These are black. white. red. and bay. the only require ment being that each bird shall be a solid color unmixed with any others, Shown in pens the birds male and female. shall be of the same color. Frizzles are not often seen in this country. and are kept only on account

BALANCED RATION IS
 ESSENTIAL FOR EGGS
New Things Discovered to Be
 Given Consideration.
To Overcome Acid in Feed Mixtures Necessary to Supply Meat Scrap or Something Similar-Fresh
 Milk Will Help.

Every person who keeps poultry is sure to be impressed sooner or later by the importance of feeding we'll balanced rations. especially for the production of eggs. Ordinarily a bal anced ration means ration that has the proportions of carbohydrates, pro- tein and fat that have been found by experience to produce the best results, but new things are being discovered that need to be given consideration in balancing n ration. For instance. 1t Is now thought that 1t may be well to- have balance between the acid and alkaline feeds and that there is pos sibility that the continued use of an acid-forming diet may lead to great CT susceptibility to certain diseases.
 The grain mixtures that are com monly used by poultrymen are acid. Mash mixtures containing sufficient quantities of dlgester tankage. meat and bone meal, dried milk or dried blood will be alkaline The acid in feed mixtures can be overcome by these feeds just mentioned and by ground limestone and oyster shell. This further emphasizes the necessity of feeding mash containing meat scrap or some feed of this kind. Green feed and fresh milk also help to over come acidlty.

type, but will house the swine prof. itably.
 Farmers in the corn belt, and in every part of the country, are turning more and more to livestock raising, now that the prices of farm products are low. Feeding corn to hogs and cattle, and thus marketing 1t lon the hoof" brings better price than though the grain was sold in its nat ural state. It Is proven by records of prices that live stock have depreci- ated in value far less than grains.
 However, there is not much profit in hog raising unless a maximum num- Der of the pigs fnrrowed are saved. The first few weeks in pigs life are the most important. for upon the start the youngsters get depends the speed with which they can be fitted for market. Unless they have the proper housing, are protected from cold, dampness and drafts the pigs are apt to die. or their growth be re- tarded.

The concrete for the foundation may be laid in a day, when the tenn perature is above freezing, and Chen should be well protected from frost. It requires at least three days for con- crete to properly set in winter. when the temperature is at freezing or low er But under no circumstances should wet concrete be allowed to freeze. If it does 1t will crumble and be of little value as a building foun- | dation.
 After the foundation for the build ing is set, the work of framing and enclosing the building can go ahead regardless of the weather. When the building is complete the concrete floor can be laid, as the building can be kept warm with stove. By using these methods the farmer may have a good, warm house in which to place his cows and when the pigs arrive they will find healthful place In which to get good start in life be. fore spring comes. Farrowed in March the pigs will be weaned about the time pasture is ready.

Experimenting With Lumber.

A forest-products laboratory Is about to be established in West Australia which, it is hoped, will develop into an institution similar to those at Madison, Wis. and at the McGill university. Montreal, Canada. Investigations have already shown that without doubt there exist forest growths in Australia from which a satisfactory paper pulp can be made. The supply of raw material is plentiful, and pulpng mill could work on some of the native woods without in any way reducing the supply of me chantable timber. At present the wastage of good timber Is so extensive that 1t Is estimated that about 50 per cent of the timber felled for milling purposes never reaches the form of salable lumber-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Moorino Mast for AIrplane.

A mooring mast for nonrigid dirigi- bles, constructed at the United States naval air station at Pensacola, Fla, consists of lattice-steel mast on a concrete base, supporting a semicircu- lar inverted arch, or crutch, of trussed- steel construction. The mast rotates within collar guyed to concrete foot ings. A wire rope extends from a winch at the base of the mast to a pulley in the crutch and then to the ground. The dirigible picks up the free end of this rope by means of a line dropped to the ground, and 1t Is made fast to the ship. The ship Is brought down to the crutch by means of the winch. Two lines, from small winches at the top of each crutch arm, are snapped to eyes on the envelope of the ship and it Is pulled firmly against bearing pads by the winches. Popular Mechanics Magazine.
