Before the days of incubators there
was an automatic check on laying ca
pacity even though the winter layers
might continue to furnish eggs, yet
the greater proportion for Matching
came from spring and summer layers.
It is now possible to incubate at
any time during the winter months,
and in this sunny cline the brooder
room may furnish practically ideal
conditions for the chicks, regardless
of the cold without. Early-hatched
pullets. even Of the heavier breeds,
may be laying by August and con-
tinue steadily until they mott. Whe-
Their one should follow the same rule
as to pullets as hens and prize most
the latest molters is a question, but
there seems to be a connection be-
tween prococious laying and early
melting.
The pullets that NOTED early seem
to have recovered far more quickly,
so that they were laying again in
and December. Those that
molted during those months are not
all laying freely yet.
Wide Distinction Between Fowls
There must be wide distinction
between fowls kept merely for eggs,
and those that are to carry on i'm
provement. In the first case it is
doubtful if it pays to carry any of
them through the mott. BY having
a second batch of pullets Matched &C
cording to breed so that they will
begin to lay about December the older
ones can be killed off and a maximum
amount OF eggs assured. From this
advantage must be deducted the ex-
ira expense of carrying more chicks.
The later layers, however, are al
ways abundant and can be bought
cheaply if desired, while the early
Matched that will lay through the last
of the year are always scarce. It is
much easier to be sure that early
chicks will begin laying at definite
time than with the later ones that
are apt having deferred production

Among the industries OF America
there is perhaps none which holds
more real live interest, and is less
understood by people in general,
than the keeping of bees and the
production of honey Most people
still think of beekeeping as farm
er's sideline. when in reality it is
becoming more and more the bust
ness OF specialists.
Montana climatic conditions are
not of the best for the production
of maple and cane sugars and syr-
ups. Fortunately, i'll this state eli
mate and soil combine in creating
ideal conditions for the production
Of the finest quality of natures
best sweet honey.
Few new industries in Montana
have enjoyed the growth and pros
perity made by the honey indus
try during the past ten years. Many
bee keepers, who count their col
onies of bees by the hundreds, have
become established in the state.
The bees as rule are kept in bee
yards or apiaries, located i'll the
irrigated districts. In order to pre-
vent over-stocking. and so decrease
the honey production per colony,
not more than 200 colonies or
swarms are placed together il,
each apiary.
The U. S. government bulletins
credit Montana with the highest
per colony honey production Of any
state in the union. This is for a
five-year average. Most of the
honey produced in Montana at the
present time comes from the Vel
lowstone, Clarke Fork, Sun River,
and Bitter Root valleys. Over
$4,000 pounds, or about ten car
loads Of honey. was produced last
year in the Yellowstone valley
alone.

age i'm Revenues from Land Leases
and contracts; something over
&157,OOO in Interest Is Delinquent.

From present indications in the
office of State Treasurer ]. W. Walk
er, it looks as though the school chill
dren of Montana were going to be
placed on short rations during the
term of 1922. In other words, it has
been determined that the apportion-
ment for each child in the state will
be only between Sass and $4.9O this
year in comparison to 500 last year.
For year of 1921 State Treasurer
Walker has received approximately
$7S4,OO0 from interest on purchase
contracts, sale of school lands and
interest on school investments. This
amount divided among the school
children of Montana will allow only
approximately 400 for each child.
Just how seriously this drop in school
apportionment funds will affect the
schools of the state is not known, al
though it is feared many school terms
will have to be shortened as a con-
sequence.
The material decrease in receipts
for the schools. according to State
Registrar of Lands H. V. Bailey, may
be accounted for in the following
ways delinquent and deferred pay
ments on land contracts; rentals and
delinquent interest on farm loans. Be-
cause of the strained and adverse fl
nancial condition of stockmen and
farmers, 1t was not deemed advisable
to hold any extensive offerings Of
sale of state lands. thus further re-
ducing the actual cash income.
According to Mr.. Bailey's report
for the fiscal year. period of Decem-
Der l, 1920 to June so. 1921, 2.914
acres sold for $47,352. or an average
of $16.25 an acre. OF 5,27S contracts
of purchase in force. 2.429 were de-
linquent to the amount of $1.O76.92S.
At the end of the fiscal period. Mr..
Bailey states farm loans had reached
$4,472.17O. The delinquent interest
on these loans at that time was
$157,340, net including or calculat-
ing earned interest for periods of less
than a year. Due to lack of funds,
Mr.. Bailey says, the provision Of the
farm loan law requiring annual in
spection has not been carried out.
Future legislation to provide suffi-
cient funds is urged in order that
these loans can be handled in a in
telligent manner and their value as
certained." At present, tits said.
there are approximately 1900 appli-
cations for farm loans on file. aggre-
eating about 100000. for which
no funds are available.

Poultry Men Save Money
By Culling Their Fl0cks

to await springy weather before get
ting into action.
If it is impossible to get chicks
Matched early, the winter layers
should be marked and at least one
breeding pen from these made up in
time to get the majority Of hatch
from profitable layers without the
inclusion of indolent poor layers.
Those who are trying to increase
their stock largely will suffer, but
where fixed number is kept it is
quite possible to work a constant i'm
provement by drastic culling and sell
ection. Hoganizing is good as long
as the flock is inferior, but we reach
point where actual performance is
more important. Gasoline engines
and watches are standardized by the
thousands but some of them, even in
the same hands, perform much bet
ter than others.
Great Hens Are Rare
Great hens are rare, the kind that

but she is fact and at least worthy
of thorough try out as a breeder,
which is more than can be said for
the average.
The fact that she lays as wanted
is much more important than that
she is bred for laying and has the
form of layer, for it connotes appe-
title, digestion and assimilation for
the purpose required. In other words,
the capacity to deliver the goods. Il
has been proved that fowls developed
for immaterial points and closely
bred will die out while those inbred
for their capacity to lay will carry
on indefinitely. It is here that the
breeder for performance has so much
the edge over the fancier. The very
fact that his stock is highly produc-
tive guarantees vitality. Size is an.
other matter. All the heaviest and
most consistent layers happen to be-
long to the Mediterranean breeds %
adults. though in the pullet year
many of the heavier breeds can run
them hard. Under liberal balanced
feeding the advantage of the smallel
breeds tends to disappear and the
heavier feathering of the bigger gives
them an advantage In cold climates.

alfalfa. sweet clover, and the many
wild flowers. in which the state
abounds, is found the natural food
of the honey bee. To obtain this
nectar the bee must fit from flower
to flower, and in SO doing pollen
ICES the many blossoms visited.
The increased production of fruits
and seeds. due directly to the work
of pollenizing done by the bee, is
probably Of much greater value
than that of the honey produced.
Montana honey is excelled by
none in quality, color or flavor.
Alfalfa and sweet clover, which
yield most of the honey produced,
give a superior product: of light
color, fine flavor. and extra heavy
body. Montana honey weighs al
most pound more to the gallon,
than many of the thinner honeys
produced elsewhere. The produc-
ton of a more delicately favored
product. is aided by the absence
of certain flowers. which yield
strong honey Of an inferior grade.
Montana honey is packed in
many different sizes and styles of
containers, from the five-gallon
can holding so pounds. to the tiny
individual service glass. holding
three ounces. For those who de-
sire it. comb honey may be had,
just as the bees made it, in the one
pound section.
"Montana's best is the worlds
best" As this is true of many
other products of our Treasure
state, so is it true of honey. Every
grocer in the state should have this
best and healthiest Of all swee.s
on his shelves, and in his display
window. Every pound of honey
produced here should be consumed
BY Montana people: bringing back
some of that old-time health en-
joyed by our grand-dads. when
honey was on the daily bill of fare.

The production of q uniform stand
ard potato as the fore-runner of the
establishment of q potato market in
Phillips county will be considered at
a series Of three countrywide potato
meetings to be held during February
under the auspices of the farm bu-
reau.
These meetings will be held at
Malta. Dodson and Saco. Arrange
ments have been completed to secure
F. H. Harrington. potato specialist
from the state college, who will be
present at all Of the meetings and
will take up the matter Of varieties
and diseases together with Blaine
Ferguson. state irrigation agent. who
will take up the matter of potato
irrigation. During the past year
farmers of the valley. through the
cooperation of the farm bureau Of
flee, selected two standard varieties
for the county. namely, the Irish cob
bier and the Melted Gem, and during
the past season Is demonstration
plots of these varieties were estab-
lished in different portions of the
valley. These particular varieties
were selected after careful consid-
GRAFTON of experiment station records
and practical farm experiences and
the best evidence on the subject
points to the fact that they are the
varieties best suited to our condi-
tons and are the spuds that should
be grown in this territory.
There is no question concerning the
ability Of this territory to produce
potatoes in paying quantities. and it
is now apparent that an adequate
potato market is the one thing that
is absolutely necessary in order to
stimulate this industry. However,
such market will never be realized
until marketable product is offered
and this in potatoes means q uniform

farmers. It is therefore evident that

four States in the central competi-
tive field. They have stood pat for
district or state wage agreements.
With the government represented
in the conference. however, the
President will promise immunity
from such prosecution. John l..
Lewis. president of the United Mine
Workers. said yesterday that the
miners would be willing to partici-
pate in any conference in which
the government is represented and
otherwise indicated that he looks
with favor upon the Presidents
plan. The conference would dis
cuss at the outset whether nego-
tiations on a wage settlement
should be confined to individual
states or districts. as the operators
contend. extend to the. central
competitive field or assume ma
tional scope. as the miners hold.
The assurance of immunity
would place operators on the de-
fensive, as the danger of prosecu-
ton has been their chief reason
for refusing to enter such a con-
ference.
II the conference should fail. the
President then will consider such
aggressive measures as the pos
sible use of armed forces to guard
the mines, which would be thrown
open for the employment of all
miners who desired to work, and
an appeal by the government TO
the miners to save the country
from a fuel famine.
