Team
Demonstrations

Large team demonstrations, which
played a large part in the success of
the triangle demonstration train this
spring, are to be continued in six of
the northern Montana counties in
June, according to M. l.. Wilson of
the State college extension service,
who is making plans for the county
demonstrations.
Dates for these demonstrations
will be:
June 9-Roosevelt county.
June IL and 12-Sheridan county.
June Is and 14-Daniels county.
June Is and 16-Valley county.
June 18 and 19-Phillips county.
June 20-Blaine county.
Many things of interest concern
ing the handling of large teams will
be shown in these demonstrations.
Some of these points will be: meth
DDS OF tying two gang plows together
making a 4-bottom load for IL
horses; putting two or three
drills together; method of using the
aeroplane hitch; the Harrington
hitch: block and tackle, chain and
pull0y HULL, GllCuliot OquiPlhOhc,
Mailman hitch; how to couple togeth-
er wagons and eight-horse load for
the Mailman hitch.
j. J. Peek, expert driver of large
teams, will be on these county dem
o%nstration trips. Mr.. Peek directed
the demonstration with large teams
on the triangle tour his spring and
was instrumental in putting over"
the large team idea with hundreds of
north Montana farmers. An agricul-
tural engineer who is acquainted with
the mechanics of hitching large
teams and pulling large field loads,
also will be on the trip to go into
the details of the work.
Since the tour of the dry farm
success train in North Montana last
spring there has been growing inter
est in the handling of large teams.
Requests for information are coming
daily to the State College at Boze-
man. A bulletin covering the subject
is being published and the demon
strations in North Montana counties
will supplement this bulletin.
County agents in each of the above
counties have charge of all local ar
rangements. Demonstrations will be
held in the country, choosing the
communities most accessible.

BLAINE LEADS IN POULTRY

(Montana State College, Bozeman)
With a reputation as the leading
county of Montana in raising of pure
bred swine, the farmers of Blaine
county now are out to annex the
first honors in poultry growing, ac-
cording to work from that county.
Recently a number of farmers and
poultrymen of the county met at
Chinook and formed a permanent
poultry association. The association
will hold a paultry show in Novem-
Der in connection with the North
Montana Corn Show at Chinook.
1t is expected that 1000 or more
birds will be exhibited at the Blaine
county show this winter, a fact which
would make it n of the important
poultry shows of the state. Prom
1nent poultry breeders of the north
west have written that they will ex-
hibft at the Chinook show in No
vember.
To F. M. Burke, vice president of
the Farmers bank at Chinook, goes
much of the credit for increasing in
terest in poultry raising in Blaine
county. Mr.. Burke, working with
County Agent Gustafson, purchased
l,6O0 eggs Of the best R. C. R. T..
strain and distributed them to the
Two pullets from each set

poultry growers, while F. A. Grace is
secretary. George G%ustafson, county
agent, is n of the hackers of the
poultry association movement and
will have charge of the publicity and
advertising for the poultry show.

HUNTS FOR FIRST
POST IN MONTANA.
DAVID THOMPSON BUILT FIRST
HOUSE OVER CENTURY AGO
NEAR THOMPSON FALLS
Flag OF Hudson's Bay Company Flut-

Saleesh House; How He Might
Have Changed Map Of North.

After several years of research
In the history of Montana, j. III. r.
Ryman, q banker OF MissouIa, Will
next month endeavOr to find the
site Of the first white mans house
in the area which is now Montana.
The residence, "SaIeesh House,
was that of David Thompson, who,
as q fur trader, established the
post Ia years ago in what is now
the Bitter Root valley Of western
Montana 1t was built Of logs,
according to descriptions which Mr..
Ryman has found, but was only a
trading post, and not a fort design
ed to withstand attack by the Ind
ians, who were friendly.
The site, as definitely as Mr.. Ry-
man has been able to ascertain, was
a few miles east Of the present town
of Thompson Falls.
Definite location of the site of the
old "Saleesh House" will be a con-
tribution to the history of the whole
northwest, historians state.
David Thompson, a homeless boy
in London, was inmate of an orphan
home from the time he was 7 until
he was IA, when he was bound out"
to the Hudson Bay company and sent
across the Atlantic. He worked for
both the Hudson Bay company and
the Northwest company, the two big
English fur trading corporations of
the early days in North America. For
them he penetrated the prairie re-
gions to what is o. known as Sas-
katchewan and Montana, and even
west.
Thompson Spurned Astor
One of young Thompson's com
oanions taught him sufficient mathe-
natics to enable him to determine
attitude and longitude with the sim
Die instruments which the fur trader
explorers of 100 years ago could carry
With them.
When in 1909, John Jacob Astor,
New York merchant, determined to
'end a party by ship around Cape
Horn to establish a fur trading post
1t the mouth of the Columbia river,
lie sent representatives to Quebec and
he Great Lakes to secure employees

companies who knew something of
he country in the direction of the
Pacific coast.
David Thompson, who had already
established "Saleesh house." was one
# the men Astor wanted for his VEN
ure in the far west, but Thompson
efused to go. He saw others who
lad been employed with him by the
companies go down the st.
lawrence on their trip by way Of
lake Champlain and the Hudson to
Jew York, where them embarked.
Thompson determined to anticipate
he New York merchant on the Paci-
ic coast. With a few companions he
tarted west to make the trip over

Wash, but then was a post

HOW TO REDUCE LOSS
IN SHIPPING SWINE
Many Hogs Arrive at Stockyards
Dead or Crippled.
Waste 10 Wholly Unnecessary and
Greatly Reduces Amount of Mar
ketabie Pork and Decreases
Profits of Farmers.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrfculture.)
Figures recently compiled by the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture show that during period of six
months in 1922 there were received
at nine Of the principal stockyards of
the country total of 26,375 dead hogs
and 3S,70S hogs in more or less
crippled condition. These figures indi-
cate waste that is wholly unneces-
sary and that greatly reduces the
amount of marketable pork and de-
creases the profit of the farmers MAX
Ing the shipments.
The department points out that
nearly all of this waste may be at
tributed TO improper handling of the
hogs just prior to shipment. Quite
often hogs about to be shipped are
rushed to a small Enclosure, penned
up In crowded way, and fed a heavy
ration preparatory to being hauled or
driven to the stock car. In getting
them to the loading point, frequently,
the animals are prodded, kicked, and
hurried until worried into a highly
nervous condition.
When ready for market, hogs should
be assembled long enough before the
date Of shipment to allow them to be-
come rested. They should not be
crowded into small pens or houses,
nor fed heavy rations. If they are
driven to the loading point, they should
not be rushed ON the way; if they
are hauled, too many hogs should not
be crowded into the truck or wagon
The loading chutes should not be too
steep, should be made secure and have
the sides protected so the animals will
not fall off. Crowding too many hogs
In car, particularly in hot weather,
is likely to result in a number Of
them dying in transit. Loading hogs
after heavy feed is injurious. A lit
tie hunger is far better for them on
the Journey than Indigestion. There is
nothing to be gained in added weight
of the animals by forced feeding just
before shipping. The aim should be to
get as many of the hogs as possible
to the stockyards in good condition.

ZEAL AHEAD OF JUDGMENT
Reformers Act Dictated by Con.
science, but lnjudicious, to Say
the Least of 1t.

The most important, and the most
injudicious act in the life of John
Knox, Scotland's famous hereto,
was performed at Geneya-an act
which he undoubtedly felt to be
called for at the time, but which
sadly handicapped him afterward.
Aroused to fierce indignation by
the cruelties of 'Bloody Mary"
who had exiled him to the con-
tinent, he wrote a treatise against
woman's rights, which he called
"The First Blast of the Trum-
pet Against the Monstrous Regi-
ment of Women" in which he
inveighed strongly against the right
of woman to hold the reins of au-
thority He gained sufficient wis
dom never to give second blast.
The book made him obnoxious to
two queens, during whose reigns he
had part to play-to Mary, Queen
of Scots, who was soon to take her
hereditary throne, and to Elizabeth
of England, who was to exert as
great power in Scotland as any of
its own soyereigns. Knox said in his
preface to "The First Blast:
my purpose is thrise to blowe
the trumpet in the same mater, if
God so permitte: twice | intende to
do it without name, but at the last
blast, to take the blame upon my
selfe, that all others may be
prged."

soy beans were received from Man
churia, Japan, and China In 1922. Many
of these appear to be of promise for
northern and central conditions. Sev-
eral factories have been equipped or
are being equipped with machinery for
the manufacture of soy bean oil and
meal as well as for various food prod
ucts, such as soy sauce, flour. and milk
powder.
Much progress, according to the an
nual report of the bureau, is being
made with soy beans in the South,
where in past years the crop has not
been very popular because Of the shat.
tering tendencies of the varieties that
were grown. The Biloxi variety, how
ever, on account of its mountaineering
characteristics, has done much to In
crease the popularity and acreage OF
the crop in the Gulf Coast states. The
Laredo variety has been found to be
resistant to nematodes and wilt. 1t has
given most excellent results for forage
and seed production.

FEED TO FATTEN LIVE STOCK
Figures Based on Investigations Made
by Department Of Agriculture
on Big Lots.

How much feed does It take to fat
ten carload Of cattle, hogs, or sheep ?
Here are some figures based on investi-
cations by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Six hundred bushels Of corn and IL
tons Of hay will fatten 250 lambs
weighing So pounds each and make
them weigh 30 pounds. This will
make one double-deck carload.
Four hundred and fifty bushels of
corn and 2,750 pounds of tankage or
ash meal will fatten 20 hogs averaging
100 pounds, TO 200 pounds, making one
carload.
One thousand one hundred bushels
Of corn, 10 tons Of alfalfa hay, and 5
tons of straw will fatten 20 steers
averaging $50 pounds making them
gain 1926 pounds each in $50 days. This
is an average carload.

FEEDING POTATOES TO STOCK
When Fed to Hoas They Should Be
Cooked and Only Moderate
Amount Given.

Potatoes are good succulent food
when fed raw to cattle, sheep, horses
or poultry. If fed to hogs they should
be cooked. But only moderate
amount should be fed 1t would not
do to try and make potatoes half the
ration for calves or other stock. They
contain too much water for that. They
should be fed In moderate amounts in
connection with the hay and grain. It
would probably not be advisable to
feed more than ten pounds per day to
each calf

TREES REQUIRE CULTIVATION
Row Crops, Such as Potatoes, May
Be Grown in Retween--SoiI
Mulch Is Essential.

"Trees require cultivation just the
same as any farm crop" says d. G.
Mooring, horticulturist with the extern
sion division of the Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. Cultivated row crops,
such as potatoes, may be grown in
between the rows of the trees while
young. As the trees enlarge in size
less row crops should be grown until
the entire space is left TO the trees. A
soil mulch established with whatever
practical tool available, should be
maintained about the young trees from
early summer until the last of july
during the average season. During
dry year continue your cultivation
until August"

THE PLA1lx TRUTH

Farming is the basic industry Of
the United States. If the nation
as whole is to prosper, the farmer
must get his full share of prosperity
Business men throughout the country
know this to be a fact. In reviewing
business conditions generally, and
especially in the farming sections,
all must admit we have hard nut
to crack, and yet there are a number
of hopeful signs on the horizon for the
farmers. 1t is our belief that we arc
on the upgrade and for the man who
has the determination to see things
through better day is surely coming.
However, the man who is going to
win is going to have to Chit the ball. -
1t will be case of the survival of the
fittest.
For the man who wants to raise
wheat or other small grains-sows his
crop in the spring and then "rests
until harvest comes; then harvests his
crop and "rests" again until the
spring work starts-we can see but
little hope. But the man who will
gather around him some hogs, cows,
sheep, chickens, ETC., and if necessary
let the family care for them while he
"makes hay" sowing and harvesting
his own crop, and while he is not busy
working with the same, is at work in
the woods or on the highways, we can
see where he will be marked up with
the winners.
Just as sure as darkness comes at
night and light during the day, times
are going to change, and when they
do, the man who "hits the ball" win
be on top. Just when the change ls
coming, no one can tell, but it is
surely coming.
All business men are in a position
to appreciate what trying time 1t
has been for the farmers and we can
not refrain from expressing our admir-
alton of the courage with which most
of them have met the problems, But,
in way, it is up to the farmers to
work out their own destiny. We have
tried to point out practical method,
and for the man who makes the per-
sistent effort there is little to fear;
but for the fellow who is Indifferent
and expectes some one else to bear the
brunt for him the future is not going
to be very rosy.
Again let us say, it looks like a
survival of the fittest, and it is up
to each and every one to go over the
question in his own mind and decide
for himself whether he win win or
lose.

MORE ATTENTION TO FENCES
Very Little Real Building Has Been
Done for Some Years-Labor
In Repairs Wasted.

Very little real fence building has
been done in number of years, but
lot of labor has been put on old
fences In trying to make them do serv-
Ice little longer. Much of this labor
has been practically wasted. No
sooner is fence that has oytliyed It's
usefulness, repaired In one place, than
it breaks down in another, and before
the breakdown is discovered, heavy
damage has been done to some crop
by live stock.
