Milk Valuable AS
Supplementary Hog Ration

| When the experiment started each
SOW had nine pigs and at the end
of 20 days no pigs had been lost
Later, however, the SOW fed on
barley and alfalfa hay lost two Of
her pigs because she was not giving
enough milk to keep them all alive
This condition was apparently due
TO the nature of the ration fed
The SOW that received skim milk
In addition to the barley and al
falfa hay, raised all of her pigs
without trouble.
The striking fact of the expert
ment was not that the two pigs
were lost in the litter which start
ed out with the advantage, but
that the litter receiving the skim
milk, and which was slightly below
the other in weight at the start,
quickly jumped ahead in the matter
OF daily gains and held the lead
throughout the experiment. In
spite OF the fact that the sow in
the first mentioned lot had two less
pigs to care for during the greater
part OF the test, ID took practically
e"o "ttho iVHECf 10 UflUE the HN~
erage weight OF her pigs to so
pounds than the other lot. That
the results were not simply a mat
ter of the amount of feed was at
tested to by the fact that the SOW
fed barley and alfalfa hay lost %
pounds less weight than the one ted
skim milk.
While the difference In total feed
required to produce a pound of pig
before weaving and the difference
In number of pigs raised as a result
OF skim milk were important, 1t was
the pigs from the skim milk lot
should continue to do SO much bet
ter after weaving even though both
iots were fed the same. The skim
milk litter made each pound of gain
after weaving on 16 per cent less
grain than the litter of which the
sow received no skim milk after the
first 20 days.

FAR MERS ARE PAYING
OFF OLD DEBTS SAYS
AGRICULTURAL AGENT

MY observations are that the
farmers are crawling out of debt far
more than is popularity believed" Is
the statement of w. P. Stapleton, ag-
ricultural development agent of the
Northern Pacific railroad, who re.
Gently visited Missoula and other
southwestern Montana points, in con-
ference with other representatives OF
that department of the road for the
northwestern states.
Mr. Stapleton for the past seven
years has been county agent at Bill
ings, leaving the work there the first
of July to take the position he now
holds with the Northern Pacific.
The farmers who are farmers and
who have gone in for diversified
farming in the eastern part of the
state are making good and the bank
ers have told me that for the past
five years they have been gradually
cutting down their indebtedness and
getting on their feet"
The occasion for the agricultural
agents visit to Missoula at this time
was general conference on matters
pertaining to the land settlement pro-
gram. 1t was decidede to hold the
conference in this state so that all of
the agents could see some of the Mon
tana country, rather than in st.
Paul.
Mr.. Holt of the land settlement de-
partment of the company stated
that the tide of immigration to the
northwest, including Montana, was
already under way and that success
full farmers had already come to
eastern Montana from the middle
western states.

HEADER BARGE TO
Be TRIED OUT

HEEN interest has been manifest.
n ed In the model headers barge
which has been on display IN !
Few communities of Roosevelt county
recently. This barge is the result OF
many years trial and experience OF
): II. Harrison of Living Springs,
mont, and G. w. Hart, inventor of
the Hart-Parr tractor, who operates
large farm near Harlowton.
Ihe reason that there is so much
interest In this apparatus is because
II IS a Dig factor in cutting down the
cost OF harvesting. Mr.. Hart and
Mr.. Harrison have used these barges
for number OF years ana thew cIa i'm
tnat with either tractor or horse
power 70 acres OF wheat can be head
ca and stacked in day with two men.
"hiie IL requires at least six to on
crate full size header crew and
achieve the same results in the same
time.
Barge Attractive
Particularly to farmers who prac-
tee heading grain each year this
barge Is very attractive and it is be-
lieved that at least two or three
farmers in Roosevelt county will try
them out this year, and they will be
closely observed by other farmers
who are interested in reducing har-
vesting costs. These header barges
appeal to farmers who
are out good ways from shipping
points where labor is hard to get
and where there is a possibility Of
crops being lost due to the fact that
farmers are not able to secure helm
at all. Another factor that is very
attractive TO the average farmer. es-
pecially the one who does not depend
upon straw for feed, is that the en-
tire Irvine bill is saved and the cost
OF shocking is eliminated.
Tractor Drawn
The header barge requires a large
tractor of IL horses to operate. It'll
IS attached to II or 14-foot header
and 1t Is g feet long, nine feet wide
~ tne bottom and IA feet high. The
headed grain is elevated right into
this barge. One man watches and
tramps the headed grain as II comes

The other man drives the tractor or
horses, whichever power is used. Asl
soon as the barge is filled, the
header is stopped, two iron pegs drive

From Montana state College

wy HILE 1t would seem that
w milk which has been run
w through a cream separator
and had practically all of its cream
removed, would contain little of
food value, experiments carried on
at the Montana Experiment Station
by DR.. w. Il. Joseph prove conclu-
sively that skim milk is a valuable
addition to the ordinary hog ration
of grain and hay. Particularly do
sows and their filters respond TO
the addition Of little skim milk
to their diet, and since the size and
condition OF the pigs at weaving
time have much to do with the
size and quality of the pig when it
goes to market, this point Is es-
pecially important to the hog man.
The results OF the experiments as
carried on by DR.. Joseph, show
conclusively that the way q pig is
started off has an important bearing
upon the economy of growth and
fattening and that skim milk can
be used to advantage In giving the
pigs the right start.
For the experiment two two-year
old Duroc-Jersey sows which far
rowed on the same date were Sc
lected. For the first Is days these
sows were fed alike on hulless bar
ley, oats, skim milk and alfalfa hay.
At the end of this time the SOW
whose litter had small advantage
in weight and gains per pig was
fed on blue hulless barley, a little
oats for about month longer and
separately on blue hulless barley. be-
when the pigs were about
: month old. The other SOW was fed

Bumper Crops Reflect
Optimism Throughout
the Eastern Counties

Crops of high yield and fine
quality in the eastern counties of
Montana are reported by ]. C. Tay-
Tor, assistant director of the State
College Extension Service, who has
Just returned from a trip across
eastern Montana. Both spring and
winter wheat crops are above the
average, he believes, with winter
wheat already made" and spring
wheat practically past the critical
or danger period.
Winter wheat is being harvested
in eastern counties and Is far better
than the average crop both in yield
and quality. Conditions have been
quite favorable for winter wheat this
year, says Mr.. Taylor. and farmers
are showing an increased interest
in this crop. While winter wheat
has seemed the best bet" this year,
extension people are cautioning farm
ers not to go into winter wheat too
strongly as there is still some doubt
as to its average adaptability TO
these counties.
The spring wheat across eastern
Montana should average close to Is
bushels to the acre, while in north
Dawson county In the Bloomfield dis
fr1ct 1t will average 20 bushels. he
says. In the past week the weather
mas been almost ideal for spring
wheat and farmers fear little change
IN the crop prospects before the
spring wheat is harvested. In Gar
Iieid county the crop is not quite
as good as In North Dawson county
but on the whole is a better-than- |
average crop.
Corn is about 10 days late this
year but coming fast" said Mr..
Taylor THE increase in corn acre
age in eastern Montana is very
marked. Five years ago In riding
over these eastern counties the corn
fields we're rare and of varying
luality. Today practically every I
farm has from 10 to 100 acres of |
corn of proven types. This is sig +
nificant, for corn means a careful di- [
versification with livestock on the
farm to increase the value of the {
crop dollar. A ride over these east ,
ern counties proves that Montana I

Active Steps Being
Taken Inn Montana
Burberry Campaign

Montana is taking active steps
to reduce her share of the annual
s50,0OO,000 wheat rust loss in the
United States through a systematic
campaign to extermlnale oarberry
plants, says w. N. Christopherson
state leader in charge of barberry
eradication.
According to Mr.. Christopherson
the barberry plant is necessary fol-
the existence of wheat rust and the
only practical means for preventing
wheat rust losses is by wiping out the
barberry. This work of eradication
is being carried on in Montana at the
present time.
Funds for the work were provided
by the last session of congress. Sc
that the costs of the campaign are
met strictly out of federal funds.
Burberry eradication work started a
year ago, when a small federal ap-
preparation was made available. Such
good results were obtained in a small
way that 1t was decided that short
vigorous campaign would practical
ly wipe out the wheat rust menace
in the United States.
Up to the opening of the campaign
this year, about $4,000 had been
spent in eradication of barberry
In Montana, all of which had been
appropriated by the federal govern
ment. During the work, so far,
9,195 bushes, 1890 seedlings and
4,643 sprouting bushes have been de-
stroyed in this state. The work ex-
tended into all parts of the state,
from Wibaux to Thompson Falls and
from Red Lodge to Browning. Bar
berry plants were found on 220 pro-
perties.
