There is no better way to use good
apples and the sound parts of wind
falls and wormy and bruised apples
than to make them into butter. Pears
and plums also make good butter, and
peach butter is unusually appetizing.
While apple butter Is usually made
with cider, using gallon for gallon of
peeled and sliced apples and cider. it
may be made with water only, or with
other fiavOrs The following recipes
have been tested by the United States
Department of Agriculture and are rec
commended.
Apple Butter With Grape Juice.
To each gallon of peeled and sliced
apples, cooked into a thin apple sauce
and strained, add one pint of grape
juice one cupful of brown sugar and
one-quarter teaspoonful of salt. Cook
slowly and stir often for two hours or
until of the desired thickness; then stir

One-half hours longer. or until of the
proper thickness.
Apple Butter With Plums.
An exceedingly rich and snappy but
ter is made with apples and plums. Use
one measure of plums to two measures
of peeled and sliced apples. Wash and
cook the plums and rub through
strainer or colander to get out the pits.
Cook the apples into sauce, add the
stewed plums and continue cooking an
hour or two until of the right consist
ency. When two-thirds cooked add
two pounds of sugar per gallon. When
finished, used spices and vanilla ac-
cording to taste. A good proportion is
one-half teespoonful each of ground
cinnamon, cloves and allspice, and
from two to four teaspoonfuls of
vanilla per gallon.
Pear Butter.
Pear butter is made like apple but
ter without the cider. Use pears ripe
enough to cook up well. Peel, core and
slice them; put in preserving kettle
with little water and cook slowly un-
til soft. Then add the sugar, one cup
full to one quart Of sliced pears, and
continue cooking very slowly. with fire.
uuent stirring, for one and half to
two hours. The butter should then be
smooth and of the consistency Of thick
apple sauce. Stir into the hot butter
a little lemon juice, with cinnamon,
ginger, or other spices to taste. Pack
while hot in hot sterilized containers
and cover with paraffin, or process in
hot water bath in sealed containers ten
to twenty minutes.
Peach Butter.
Put the peaches in wire basket and
din them in boiling water a few sec
onds or until the skin slips. Dip them
in cold water, peel them and pit them.
Well-ripened freestone varieties are
best. Mash the pulp and cook it in its
own Juice, without adding water. If
It is rather coarse it may be put
through a sieve To each measure or
pound of pulp add a half-measure or
half-pound of sugar, cook slowly and
stir frequently until the product is of
the desired thickness. The sugar may
be added before cooking begins, IL de-

this to the corn crop is rapidly be-
coming recognized by corn growers
who pay attention to quality in seed.
To answer the increased demand
for good seed corn two Phillips coun-
ty farmers will cooperate during the
coming year in the production of GER
titled seed, among them being ]. N.
Mangis of Malta, who will plant in
the neighborhood of 125 acres of
Armenia strain Northwestern Dent and
Gerard Dewitt, who will plant ap-
proximately 40 acres of the Brown
County Dent. In addition to these
two farmers six more will cooperate
in the production of approved seed
corn, which is cared for under spe-
cial conditions but under rules not
so strict as in the production of GER
titled corn. Two farmers, Levi Shell
ton of Alkali and e. C. Bentley of
Dodson have already signified their
desire to go into this work.
Farmers who last year grew certi-
fled and approved seed and other
farmers producing good quality of
seed corn are being urged to hold
over reserve supply so that in case
of an exceptionally short season dur
ing the coming year there will be
some seed left over from the 1922
crop to fall back on.

For the second year in its history
Phillips county has more than enough
seed corn to meet home demands
this In spite of the tremendous in
crease in acreage that is looked for
next year over that of $1,000 acres
planted in the county in 1922. Farm
ers cooperating with the extension
service of the state college through
the county agents office in the pro-
duction of approved and certified
seed corn are disposing of their seed
rapidly to outside points, which leads
some to believe that there is posi-
bility of seed supplies being depleted
before all local farmers have secured
what they will need for the 1923
crop, says the county agent.
Orders for seed are coming daily to
Phillips county farmers who are CO
operating with the state college in the
production of approved and certified
seed and the first shipment of about
5000 pounds of certified Northwest
ern Dent was made by P. n. Mangis
of Malta last week, when approx
mately this amount will be shipped to
Is or 20 different northern Montana
points.
During the last year five Phillips
county farmers cooperated with the
state college in the production of GER
titled and approved seed corn, j. N.
Mangis of Malta producing $50 bu-
shells of certified Northwestern Dent
which was selected from the standing
stalks before the first frost, each ear
cured separately in a heated room.
This has produced an exceptionally
good quality of Northwestern Dent
seed corn which terminates vigor-
ously and the value of such seed as

OF the Montana State Agricultural College
Each year there is sufficient water
that runs out of Montana to irrigate
all of the arabic lands of the state
if 1t were held on or delivered to
them. A large portion of this waste
runs off in the spring and early sum-
mer before the irrigation season be-
gins. The larger portion of this run
off comes from the mountains and
high lands and some of it runs from
the dry farms where 1t is so much
needed later on in the summer. A
considerable portion of this that runs
from the dry farms could be saved for
the crops on those farms by storage

they should be built on contours. This
water can be used on higher land
than that stored in the reservoir and
gives additional irrigated land. This
system of bikes can be built so as to
work automatically, and will be des-
cribed in future article.

er than any other branch of livestock
industry in the state. The demand
for purebred stock is much in evil
dence. Marketings of fat hogs have
been heavier than usual the past few
months, and at profit in nearly all
cases. The demand for fat hogs by
local and western packing establish
ments has been pronounced. The ra-
Their steady prices received, and the
good supply of corn, rye, and other
feeds. and more skim milk, appar-
emily justify the growth of the swine
business in the state.
Ranges and Feed
During January practically all of
the winter ranges were open, and for
this reason little feeding was neces-
sary. Stock water is reported suf-
ficient for needs, but more snow is
needed for the coming season. The
condition of ranges on February
was 81 per cent, the same as the
month previous. Ice on ranges is
reported in various localities east of
the divide. Hay is plentiful, con-
the state as whole. Only
4 few localities anticipate shortage
before spring. Reports indicate that
1T least Is per cent more hay is on
hand than will be needed. The char
acter of the weather the next eight
,r ten weeks will determine whether
,r not there will be feed left over.
Prices for hay have declined in many
sections. The outside demand has |

Prices are highest in the northwest

The special livestock report issued
by the federal-state cooperative crop

Gates that among the factors affect
ing the states livestock industry, the
favorable ones at. present far out
weigh those which are unfavorable.
Continued mild and open weather in
January which permitted nearly max
imum use of winter pastures and
ranges; livestock in excellent condi-
ton; a general surplus of hay and
other feed; very light losses to date;
the forest service announcement of
no advance in grazing fees for the
coming season; evidence of many of
the ranges coming back under light
usage; increases in pork production
and in dairying justified by good
prices, and general confidence in
the future demands for livestock and
their products, as indicated by light
world supplies of most of these COM
mOdities these are some of the
hopeful signs for Montana's livestock
industry at the present time.
Among the unfavorable factors

ton of stockmen, and especially cat
tlemen, is outstanding. Others of

Condition of Cattle

and lack of adequate range.
Condition of Cattle
The condition of cattle in the state
on February / was normal, or 100
per cent, which means about all that
can be expected under our condi-
does not mean that the condition is
ideal. Feeding of hay has been very
limited since about Christmas, as
pastures and ranges have afforded
the necessary feed in most sections
Hay feeding of COWS and steers for
market is about on the usual scale,
and is confined largely to Beaver
head county and to the valley of the
Yellowstone. Some of this fat stuff
is already moving to market. Prices
are low, but profits on this beef are
not uncommon. The movement to
western markets is stronger, with
Los Angeles the most favored point.
The practice of keeping cattle in
better shape during the winter is
growing, and there is evident move
nent toward hay-feeding for few
weeks before marketing steers off
grass. However, the efficiency of
Montana grasses to make first class
,eef without additional feed, and the
dependence of the middle west farm
RS upon the supply of western feed
rs, for which they will pay profit
Ible prices if necessary, are factors
hat will prevent any early radical
departure from the present methods |
# beef production in this state.
There is considerable local trading
n all classes of cattle in the state, |
nd there are not a few current |
orced sales. Prices vary widely, |
angling from sacrifices to fairly |
.ood, depending largely upon the
bility of local buyers to finance fur
her purchases.
Losses to date have been inconse- |
uential. One rather extensive sec
ion toward the eastern part of the |
tate has had quite heavy losses from
lackleg, while a few scattered lo-l
alities have suffered light losses
rom the same and other diseases and |
rom predatory animals.

Sheep Very Good
Dairy Cows in Demand

Good dairy cows are in general
demand at prices averaging about
$50 per head. The value of the cream
check is being appreciated more and
more, and dairying as a part of farm
ing is growing steadily. The wider
recognition of the value of good dairy
cows, and of the need for intelligent
care and feeding of them, are factors
which insure this branch of our live
stock industry of attaining its de-
served prominence in the state.

 Charming manners win us at sight, just as bad names repulse us. We want nothing to do with the men and women who are blunt of speech and careless of our sensibilities. We shun the gruff who make no effort to be pleasant. We associate as little as possible with the brutal.
 These people may be honest and upright and truthful but they never get anywhere because they make enemies at every step of the way by their lack of courtesy. Occasionally a man who is an illmannered bore but he only does so when he is man of exceptional strength, for no friendsly hands boost him up.
 It takes actual genius to offset the handicap of bad manners. But good manners are a letter of credit that is honored at sight the world over. The people we like and that we like to have about us are those with charming, gracious manners The people Wltn whom we Ike to QO DuSl- ness are the courteous. The men and women whom we like to have asso- ciated with us in our business are those upon whose politen4ss we can depend.

We buy at one store rather than an other because in one place the clerks take trouble to please us and in the other they are indifferent and hoity- toity.
 Every day men and women are chosen or rejected for advancement because of their manners, which means their ability to get along with people. Only recently I have per sonally known of two cases in which two young men of great talent and energy had their golden opportuni- ties literally flung in the soup, which they ate audibly with their napkins tucked in their collars. Big business could not be represented by men who fed like pigs.
