MODERN HEN u


Following the successful poultry
culling campaign of August and Sep
TENDER, the agricultural extension
service of the university and the farm
bureau will put on campaigns for the
building of new poultry houses and
the remodeling of old ones and for an
egg-mash in the hopper of each and
every house.
N. E. Chapman, University Farm
poultry specialist, says these ideas
have been presented at the culling
schools, and have been given the
unanimous approval of poultry keep
ers in attendance.
Il have known such interest,"
he says, gin poultry house construc-
ton, and now is the time to push the
campaign. Few farmers feed egg
mash to the laying flocks, although it
is absolutely essential for high pro-
duction. All poultry houses should
have mash hoppers, which should con
tain at all times the essential feed in
gradients for the highest egg produc
ton"

UNUSUAL EXHIBIT OF BUTTER

For the same reason that a man
prefers to eat his meals from a clean
tablecloth he prefers to get the but
ter he eats in a clean and attractive
package-it helps him to get more
enjoyment from his food and that
means that he really gets more value
out of it, even thaugh ca~relessly
packed products may contain Just as
much food value as those that are
put up carefully.
The package into which bptter is
put is of more Importance than most
food packages, because the product
which it holds is extremely sensitive
to outside influences, especially odors.
Men who have made a business of
studying market conditions and meth
DDS have long given attention to the
package problem and they are still
at it. This year at the National
Dairy Show, held in st. Paul, Mimi,
October 8 to Is, the United States
Department of Agriculture had an un-
usual show of butter packages that
proved of as much interest as a LOT
of curios. The department has col
lected packages from the various
countries of the world that make but

SEED CORN DIRECTORY FOR
MONTANA.

The Montana Corn-Growers' Asso-
citation is now making plans for COM
piling a seed corn directory of the
state. The association is asking that
every one who has seed corr for sale
send a representative sample to the
secretary, stating the name of the
variety, amount of seed for sale and
price per bushel. This sample will be
be tested for termination by the
Montana Grain Inspection Labora-
tory. The directory of those having
seed for sale viii he issued in con-
nection with the Montana Seed Grow
ers' Association and will furnish in
formation as to sources of reliable
seed. Those who have surplus seed
o r for sale are urged to secure
samples of each lot by taking 2 or :
kernels from representative ears un-
til they have at least a pint sample
and send it at once to Clyde Mckee
agronomy department, Bohemian
Montana. Be. sure to mark samples
plainly, so that there will be no diff.
ficulty in identifying them when re.
ceived.

FARM WOMEN INDORSE
DEMONSTRATION AGENT

A conference of 200 Iowa farm wo-
men at the state fair on August 20
brought out the fact that home dem
onstration work is highly valued
throughout the state. There were sc
counties represented, and a special
effort was made to sound those pres
emit as to their feelings toward the
work.
The influence of home demonstra-
ton was evident throughout the pro-
gram, which was planned by the wo-
men themselves Talks were given
on child welfare work, on identifying
the farmstead, on boys and girls
club work, home dressmaking, and
community singing. Questions such as
suitable recreation for country wo-
men and women's work in the county
extension service were discussed.
That women should have reliable
competent advice available for the
asking was thought to be most i'm
portant. In addition to the help the
home demonstration agent has given
in solving household problems, she
has done much to improve the socia.
relations of farm women. One wo.
man said that the advent of the tele.
phone had brought a decline in so,
liability, that she knew of women OF
adjoining farms who had actually
never exchanged a call, and tina
through the home demonstration
agent such farm women in differen-
communities were getting better &C
quainted.
Another benefit brought out in tn
conference was the development o
leaders among the more diffident an,
retiring women. Organization through
through home demonstration activi
ties brings out the unsupported capa
bilities latent in those who hav
never before given time and interes
to community work.

WINTER DAIRYING
CAN Bring Profit

Winter dairying has always been
PROBABLE when the COWS were well
cared for. We have every reason to
believe that the coming winter will
prove a good one for the dairy farm
er, especially if he provides a good
shelter and gives the animal proper
care. November and the early part
Of December are the melancholy days
for milk production. This is the low
period of the year so far as volume
is concerned, June being the heaviest
producing month and December the
hghtest In many of the western
states where crop raising is the prin-
cipal line of farming, the variation
Is extreme, from four to six times
more milk being produced in June
than in December.
While it is natural for cows to
freshen in the spring, it cannot be
said to be the most profitable, for in
the flush time we always find a lower
price, while farm work is then the
most pressing. More than that, a COW
will produce from IS to % per cent
more by freshing in the fall. Espe-
cially is this true if she is given good
care during the winter. The cow
coming gresh in the fall will be a
profitable mixer during the season of
the year when dairy products sell at
the best price. She will go on grass
IN the early spring and will again
be flushed to a profitable production
for April, May and June. When
pastures become dry and short and
the flies most troublesome, she will
be dry.

MILKING AGAIN POPULAR

Milking is not to be one of the
lost arts on the farm" says Lewis
McMartin, president of the Milking
Shorthorn Society in his address at
the annual meeting held at the Stock
Yards Inn, Chicago, Monday, Novem-
Der Is.
"Et has become fashionable again
and is paying many a grocery bill and
many a rent bill. While prices of
Milking Shorthorns have declined
from two years ago, they have always
been close to utility values, and not
being so high as those of other breeds
have not had SO far to fall. Present
day Milking Shorthorn sale prices
rank among the highest not only of
Shorthorn, but of any beef or dairy
sales. Our top prices this year,
$500 for a yearling heifer, Minnie of
Glenside, and $4,000 for the bull,
Duke of Glenside, are the highest
Shorthorn prices of the year.
"Our society, supported by an an
nual due that keeps it's membership
active, has two-thirds the membership
it had two years ago, while many
other breed associations have a much
less proportion of active members,
Our society receipts have been two
thirds the receipts of previous an
nual period and our breed publica-
ton, the Milking Shorthorn Journal
charging a subscription price, has in.
creased its circulation by 60 per cent

have been larger and more numerou,
than ever before, and the exhibit
in the Milking Shorthorn classes a

cent increase in numbers over las
year.
"AIl this means that the farmer ha
concluded that if he can't milk COW
and beat the city man to the pictur
show, he'll milk the cows, anyway.

Portable barns properly equipped.
The d~isagreeable task of chores with
the old-fashioned unsanitary stable
has turned many good men away
from the business. Since it is al
ways artificial for a COW to freshen
in the fall, she must have artificial
atmosphere and surroundings, and
the modern stable with modern equip
ment is absolutely necessary for sue
cess.
Never was stock feed cheaper nor
dairy product more IL demand, and
good feeding and care are extremely
low compared with the price received
for them. This has stimulated the
dairy business, and more attention
will be paid to tn eindustry during the
next few vars. While this will in
sure a good price for dairy stock it
will also mean more competition, and
that can only be met by efficiency
and the use of the best materials and
methods.
The dairy cow has proved the farm
er's best friend during these trying
times. 1t never before was so nee
essary TO use good cows, give them
good care in modern stables, and take
advantage of every opportunity to
increase their production.

THE VALUE OF HAY
PLACED ON MARKET

What to do with low grade hay has
long been a vexing problem to the
hay trade. Losses running into thou
sands of dollars annually have been
suffered by producers because of the
difficulty encountered in disposing
of hay that is improperly prepared
for market, or is of a mixture that
causes it to be regarded as of a low
grade.
In Department Bulletin GIT, Mar
keting Hay at Country Points, re-
Gently issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, the fail
ure to remedy this situation is as
cribed to two chief reasons: The
producer and the dealers do not agree
as to what constitutes quality in hay,
and many producers lack vital mar
ket information regarding the prepar-
alton of hay for terminal and con-
Stunning markets.
Quality of hay is at present indi-
Gated largely by its color, which is
used to gauge the stage of maturity
at which it is cut. The hay that
grades highest, and consequently
brings the most money, is usually
that having the best natural greer
color. Hay dealers can often tel
from the color whether hay was cut
early, medium, or late, and in then
opinion the best hay is the early cut
hay and the poorest that which is cut
late.
The average hay grower, however
in some sections, at least, does no
agree with the terminal market the
cry of quality as indicated by color
Many producers prefer medium o.
late cut hay, especially for horses
because it is easier to cure and is no
so "washy" as early cut hay.
In some markets size and weigh
of bales is an important factor, sine,
there is sometimes a difference O.
several dollars a ton in the sam
grade of hay in small or large bales
The reasons for the demand for Ger
tain sizes and weights are numerou.
and are not always based on facts, i
is said. However, as in many othe
kinds of trading, it pays the seller t.
aim to meet the demands of tn
buyer.
The production of undesirable mix
lures for the market will cause
loss to the producer as long as tn
market does not want such mixtures
Certain of these are discriminate
against regardless Of their true nu
tritive or feeding value. The pro
Queer may know positively that Ger
tain mixtures are palatable and con
tain more total digestibles than tn
kinds now in greatest demand, yet h
is powerless to make feeders realiz
their value. The introduction an,
general use of a new kind of mixtur
of hay is a very slow undertaking, a
in the ase of clover and alfalfa.
About the only way to avoid trou
bic with undesirable mixtures, say
the bulletin, is for the producer T.
cease growing them and to produc
only the kind in demand in the mar
kets to which his hay is usual,
!, shipped. Copies of the bulletin ma.

department at Washington, D. C.

Police License for Taxis

William WcAdoo, Chief City Mag
lstrate, writes strong letter to the
Legislature in support of Assembly,
man Steinbcrg's bill to transfer from
the Commissioner of Licenses TO the
Police Commissioner the licensing Of
taxi drivers. There are cogcnt argu-
ments for this measure.
AS Commissioner McAdoo says,
and as ordinary prudence tells one,
no man should be licensed to drive a
cab until his character and his rec
ord have been thoroughly investi-
gated. No employment offers
more inviting field to the crook. The
license commissioner does not make
such inquiry; his Office has not the
machinery to do so. The applicant
steps up, pays his fee and is duly
authorized to roam the streets.
The Police Department, on the
other hand. has the means Of check
ing up the drivers antecedents.
There is rogues' gallery, there arc
tell-tale finger prints at HeadQuar-
tcrs. a competent detective bureau
can find ont in short order whether
or not man has been a member of
the hold-up fraternity. No Police
Commissioner, whatever his short
comings, would deliberately license
bandit.
The honest ta1,ieab drivers will
welcome purge. They know we'll
enough that any driver may be un-
fairly suspected on account Of the
vicious members of his craft. Mag

Redlography, comprising both tcle-

its advantages involve some dissd-

ened they have gradually been

In parts Of Maine the black bear
has found refuge in comparative
safety and ia still able to make
occasional raids upon farms in the
woods. But even there these ami
mails are becoming scarce, and al
though they are difficult to hunt it
is likely that tho cverincreasing
number Of hunters who go each year
to Maine will soon kill them off
unless they arc protected. To the
inhabitants Of certain communities
this would be no misfortune But
it is difficult to believe that the
damage done by the few remaining
black bears warrants their cXtirna-
ton.
That there should be perma-
nently closed season OF black bears
in Maine, Just as there is in Penn
sylvania and some other states, is
unnecessary. But that they should
receive the same protection as deer
seems only Just. Bounties arc a
survival Of the days of plentiful
game. Even in Maine those days
have now passed.
