CURRENT COMMENT
MacMillan,s Work.

Explorer Macmillan and his little
party on the Bowdoin are homeward
bound from Baffin Land and the brief
outline OF their work for the past
year, which they wireless on ahead,
serves to sharpen public interest in the
detailed story that will be given out
when they get back to civilization,
When they sailed from Boston in
July, 1921, they had made plans for a
two years stay in the white North, II
two years were needed for the work
undertaken II appears that fortune
has favored them in everything save
in their ambition to circumnavigate
Bafin Land. Fury and Hecla strait,
named for the ships Of English ex-
plorers wrecked there more than a
century ago, exidentlyl offered oh
stacles too great 10 be overcome. How.
ever. that voyage round the northern
end OF the island was only incidental
to MacMillan's scientific program.
The main interest is in that item Of
the report that shows that for ten
months the party was able to carry

people have strong hopes that he win

force which will prove Of value to the
state. 1t is trite saying that there
is fine chance to give that service

The fortunate escape of three girls
from serious injury when struck by
motor vehicle on Barre street
while waiting to board street car
calls attention sharply to the need for
observance of the rule that motor We
hicles shall stop before reaching a
street car when the latter vehicle is
halted to take on or let off passengers.
The need for such precaution is es-
pecially urgent when passengers are
getting off street cars, as people are
less likely to watch for approaching
vehicles then. There has been ten
dency toward laxity in observance Of
this very wise rule Of the road. We
need to tighten up.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
The Hen and the Co,u--a Good
Combination

Mash: Eight pounds OF bran (mill
run). four pounds OF corn meal, four
pounds Of PEA meal. four pounds Of
wheat meal, one-fourth pound Of
powdered charcoal. To be fed IN
self-feeding hoppers.
And all the sour (warm) milk
they would drink and no water. They
had shell, grit, bone and alfalfa hay
for green feed. He had 1888 hens, un-
culled. For December and the first
II days in January they averaged 121
eggs per day. These hens had cleo
trio lights, mornings. I do not have
record since. but will say that there
were times during the period reported
when It was more than 20 degrees
below zero.
Peas should not be fed to hens UNI
less there 10 at least some sour milk
for them. Hens do not appear to be
able to digest peas and assimilate
them when not fed sour milk. It ap-
pears that the tactic acid In sour milk
serves az an assimilating agency. It
is always best to feed milk sour. But
termilk and separator milk appear to
produce about the same results.
When both are available, It is we'll
to mix them - the buttermilk aids
in souring the sweet milk. Always
feed the milk warm In cold weather
and fairly sour. It IL best to feed
no water II there is sufficient sour
milk. Every farmer who feeds hens
should milk enough cows to furnish
all the sour milk the hens will drink
and every man who milks cows
should feed enough hens to consume
the skinned milk.
Such . combination will add very
to the agricultural wealth
OF Idaho. The combination will re-
duce the production cost Of both eggs
and milk. idaho can never expect
to be q very large consuming state,
but is necessarily . large producing
one. The products must be concen-
trated to reduce transportation cost.
The development Of the hen and the
COW industry need not interfere with
other production. They are added
agricultural assets.

appreciate the necessity for increased
swine production in Idaho. hut sug-
gest that they be grown more cheap
" than by feeding them good milk.
Milk is good for hogs, but can be
more profitably fed to good hens.
Farmers by the thousand, IN Idaho,
are beginning to realize the value of
this combination. The COW and the
hen have furnished the only cash in
come the past winter for Thousands
of farmers.
Feeding experiments for err pro-
duction were begun at the University
of Idaho when the department Of
poultry husbandry was first estab-
lished. This work has been contin-
ued ever since. Animal food IN some
form is known to be necessary for
profitable egg production. Idaho is
an inter-mountain state and freight
rates make prepared feeds Of this ma
ture very expensive. There are no
large meat packing plants in the
state. The department recognized
that II the poultry industry was to
become a factor in the Agricultural
development Of the state that e was
necessary to produce, in the state,
substitute for beef scrap and fish
meal.
Feeding tests have proven, in each
instance, that milk fed in competition
with beet scrap under like conditions,
produced the greatest profit. The
milk has always been charged to the
hens at its commercial value. There
have been times in these feeding ex-
periments when, owing to circum-
stances, it came pretty high. How
ever, It has always shown Z greater
return on the investment than any
other system Of feeding. There is
not room in this article to include
data.
Following is q feed formula Of one
Idaho farmer and partial results the
last winter:
Scratch feed: Ten pounds Of wheat,
five pounds Of corn, one pound of
peas. Feed three quarts morning
and five quarts night for each 100
hens.

STATE WOOL CLIP /.
100000 POUNDS
BUYING SEASON IN MONTANA IS
PRACTICALLY AT AN END, AC.
CORDING no BUYERS
Prices Have Dropped Recently, but
Best of Clips Brought Good Prices
Earlier I'm the Year; Good Season
Next Year Is Predicted; Top Price
II So Cents.

The wool season in Montana has
virtually reached its end and Boston
buyers will probably have closed thei'
last deals and returned east by the
end Of the week, according to buyers
now in Montana.
Although the prices have been
shaded during the latter part of the
season, the best of the clips went at
long prices earlier, according to the
buyers, and it has been a profitable
season for sheep men. The wool has
also been perhaps little better than
last year, the buyers say, being con-
siderable lighter than last year, due
to the long winter. On the other
hand it is somewhat shorter on the
average and occasionally some rather
tender wool is encountered.
Among the recent sales have been
the clip OF the 1900 sheep of Ole
Osnes of Square Butte. Chouteau
county, running about $4,000
pounds; the Graham & Mclean clip
Of Conrad, about $4,000 pounds. A
clip of $4,000 pounds from Miles City
ranchers brought between 80 and
OF n CcAIS. NC ASCoAIo-<AA OIL OAuO
clip Of some $4,000 pounds has been
sold, as has that of the Kuhr Land
& Livestock company of Chinook.
amounting to about $4,000 pounds.
Discussing the general conditions
as they have been found by the buyer
during the last season, Robert Kosh-
land Of J. Koshland & Co. Of Boston
said that the conditions have been
uniformly good for the sheep men. He
estimated that the clip will run about
the same as last year, in the neigh
borhood OF 100000 pounds.
While the number Of sheep has in
creased somewhat in the northern
part Of the state, as evidenced by the
wool sales, he said, this was, in part
at least, offset by the decrease found
in the vicinity of Miles City. where
there was apparently a reduction in
the number Of sheep kept.
Koshland said that he believed that
next year will also prove good one
for the sheep men and that he did
not anticipate any large increase in
the number of sheep. In this, he
pointed out, the sheep men are limit
cd quite strictly by the area Of their
land.
Reviewing the price situation Of
tho year, he said that the top price
was II 3-S cents. while the best Of
the clips went early in the season at
from 80 to Al cents. Later III the
season the prices dropped to "a to 81
cents.
The opinion Of A. H. Tomfohrde.
another buyer, was similar to that of
Koshland. Speaking of the situation
as it faces the Boston buyers who
now become the sellers on the mar
ket, he said that the immediate pros
pect is not especially bright. due to
the recent quotations Of the Ameri-
can Wooden company, which were but
little over those of last year. He
said that the shipping season is now
we'll along and that probably not
more than IL cars more will be ship
ped from the state.
