New Station at Fort KeOgh
The transformation OF Fort Keogh
into an experiment station gives
Montana the distinction of having the
only range live stock experimental
fam in the United States, according
to G. n. Arnett, head of the live
stock department at Montana State
College. While range live stock has
constituted one Of the chief sources
Of wealth in the western and noun
tain states, now for the first time
does this industry have an expert
mental ground of its own.
The converted fort contains 5 1000
acres in all, 1000 of which are ir-
rigated and the remainder grazing
land, thus providing proper conditions
and ample room for a comprehensive
study of range problems.
The work of stocking and equip
ping the experimental ranch is al
ready under way. The contracts
have been let for the construction Of
two silOs with a capacity of $50 tons,
and these will be filled with corr
in the fall. At present there are Al
horses and mules on the place and
approximately 1000 tons OF hay will
be put up. Irrigation plants and
pumping equipment is being installed.
The experimental work to be car
ried on will include a study of rota.
ton and deferred Grazing, winter
feeding on different ratiOns, and
breeding and selection experiments
with beef cattle and sheep. Swine
production and turkey raising on the
range will also be studied. For ex-
perimentai purposes the ranch will
be stocked with $50 head of beef cat
tie, a band of sheep and Is or 80
breeding hogs,
The general management of the ex-
perimental ranch will be conducted
jointly by C. N. Arnett of Montana
State College and a representative OF
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The Federal department is
providing the funds for converting
the fort and for providing stock and
equipment. For this purpose $780,
400 has been provided and the trans
fer of property and equipment raised
the total to $4,000.

Make Farm Cost Studies

Make Farm Cost Studies
NJ. L. Wilson, Montana's noted
farm economist, will spend part Of
his time during the next twelve
months in making farm cost and
farm management studies for the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in different parts of the
United States. At the same time
Mr.. Wilson will continue with his
work in Montana, resuming his full
time duties with the Montana State
College Extension Service when his
Investigations for the Federal de-
partment are completed.
Mr.. Wilson has been intimately
connected with the most conspicuous
changes that have taken place in
Montana's agriculture during the past
IA years. On coming to the state he
expressed the belief that corr could
be successfully produced in this
state. His efforts were directed to-
wards the production of acclimated
varieties and to the extension of corn
growing knowledge. The effect of
his efforts along this line are most
noticeable at the present time, with
corn growing established on a firm
basis.
AS county agent leader for Mon
tana during the war years, Mr.. Will
son played a leading part in building
up the Montana Extension Service.
When the financial slump came in
the fall of 1920 Nj. Wilson started
an intensive economic study of Mon
tana farming, particularly in that
region known as the Triangle" The
result of the study was Bulletin Sc,
which has been described as the most
valuable text book on dry land agri-
culture ever written.
Since his appointment as farm
economist for the Extension Service,
MIR. Wilson has devoted most Of his
time in the study Of farming sys-
TENS, applicable to a period of low
prices. He has particularly empha-
sized labor saving devices to reduce
farm operating costs and along this
line, his work in introducing knowl-
edge about the use of big teams has
become nationally known.
Hog Prices TO Improve
While hog production has increas-
ed in Montana, the pig population in
the United States as a whole has ma
t~erially decreased, says R. B. Millin,
extension live stock specialist. This
situation favOrs Montana in that the
general reduction will tend TO bring
better prices.
The recent national survey shows
a decrease of about Fl per cent in

Food Plenty, Cheap, Good

"The carbohydrate foods are usual
ly plentiful, cheap and easily digest
ed. Cereals form the basis of the
diet in nearly all parts of the world"
Agnes Houston Craig said when she
was director of home economics for
the U. S. Food Administration of
Washington. These are what she des-
ignates as carbohydrate foods
Starchy-potatoes and other starchy
vegetables; flour, cornstarch, cereals,
bread, crackers. Sugars-honey, pre-
serves, white and brown sugars, rails
ms, jellies and dried fruits.

Adders Tongue For Wounds

In the spring the children bring in
early flowers which they call Adders
Tongue. Sometimes it is the dog
tooth violet they so call, sometimes
the rattlesnake p~lantain; sometimes
the lily of the valley OF the English
cuckoopint is called by the same
name. The real Adders Tongue is q
fern with a fruiting spike that gives
it the odd name.
Two hundred years or more ago
they used the juice in treatment of
wounds, both old or fresh, which were
not healing properly. William Sal
mon, a Professor of Physick" in
London then, advised that it be taken
inwardly in a "diet-drink' made with
other herbs, every day for some
time" Medical directions were moi
"a exact then as Aow.

Teaching Child to Sew

Do not let a little girl who is learn
ing 30 sew, form the bad habit of
pushing the cloth onto the needle in
stead of forcing the needle into the
cloth. In teaching the running
stitch, in which the needle weaves
through the cloth in small, even
stitches of the same length both
sides Of the cloth, see that the size
of the stitch is appropriate to the
material, and the strength of the
seam desired. Uusually they should
be as small as possible.

the number of sows narrowed last
spring as compared with a year ago
with a decrease of Approximately 20
per cent in the number OF pigs. This
condition, says Nh. Millin should
have a decidedly good effect upon
) the markets which should prove to
the advantage of the farmers of
Montana.
County Agent Gets Promotion
H.. n. Kaufman, for the past three
years county agent Of Madison coun-
ty will leave during the close of July
to take up his new duties as Smith
Hughes agricultural instructor at
Kalispell. Mr.. Kaufman takes the
place Of R. H. GOrsline who resign
ed to take up farming in the Flat
head Valley.
The county agent vacancy in Mad
ison county will be filled by Howard
G. Burgess of Palouse, Washington.
Mr.. Burgess is farm born and farm
trained, with a special leaning to-
wards live stock. His fathers farm
in Washington is devoted largely to
pure bred live stock, and his work at
Washington State College; where he
graduated in 1915, was mainly with
live stock. In 1915 he was high
point man on the Pacific coast cham
pion live stock judging team.
Carrying out his leanings towards
live stock, following graduation he
became assistant herdsman on the
famous stock farm of Carpenter and
Ross of Mansfield, Ohio. During the
next two years he managed the gov
eminent farm at Fort Keogh, Mon
tana. He was then called to serve
as county agent in Cowlitz county,
Washington, and after a year of sue
cessful work returned to his fathers
ranch to help with it's management,
remaining there until his present
call to Madison county, Montana.
Montana Has Cleanest Wheat
Montana now produces the cleanest
wheat of any state in the spring
wheat belt, says A. j. 0gaard, agron-
omist of the Montana State college
extension service, but Montana can
not expect to maintain that position
unless steps are taken now to pre-
vent the wheat fields becoming over
ridden with weeds and foreign ma
terial.
The reason for the cleanliness of
Montana's grain at present as COM
pared to the other states is because
the other states have been under cul-
tivatiOn for a longer time and little
attention was paid in previous years
toward preventing the fields from be-
coming foul. AS a result the aver
age dockage on wheat from North
Dakota last year was 11.3 per cent.
Minnesota To per cent, while Mon
tana was at the bottom with only
2.5 per cent dOckage. The expert.
ence of the other states may well
serve as a guide to the farmers OF
Montana. Proper crop rotations
summer fallow, the use of the right
kind of tillage tools, care in eradi
eating weeds, community cooperate!
in handling the pernicious weed prob
lem and the use of pure, clean SEED
will keep Montana's wheat clean
says Mr.. Ogaard.

The Model Home Kitchen

There is no room In the entire
house more attractive or appealing
to the home lover than a carefully
planned, we'll equipped kitchen, shin
ing with cleanliness, says Helen Har-
rington Downing, a recognized home
economics expert.
Every housewife in the land,
whether she is widely experienced in
household problems, or a bride just
starting housekeeping, is interested
in having her kitchen workshop as
carefully planned as the rest of the
house.
"a good definition of the best
kitchen is one that is so planned that
the maximum work can be done with
the minimum effort. 1t should be
carefully, completely and at the same
time economically equipped.
II cannot urge too strongly that
the following points be borne in mind
in Outfitting a kitchen: careful

At the third congress of the In
ternational Federation of Postal, Tel
egraph and Telephone Workers held

adopted:-1-Equal pay for equal
work where skill and qualification
are identical for men and women; q
