Regularity in Feeding

Chickens are subject to two disturb

usually due to Inflammation of the
digestive tract which causes disten-
sion OF the crop with gas or liquid
food. Crop bound Is caused By nm OBJ
struction OF the crop from eating long
wilted grass, gorging on grain or a
clogging of the lower opening OF the

Alfalfa and clover furnish protein and

the Prairie FarTner. Fall rye makes
an excellent sure pasture. and down ia

ture Of soy beams oats, clover and
rape with considerable success. The
value OF this mixture lies In the fact
that the different ingredients come

GUIDE FOR RAISING PIGS
ISSUED 5V STATE COLLEGE

Lessons for Pig Club Members" is
one OF the latest bulletins to come oft
the press for the Montana State Call
lege Extension Service. The bulletin
is edited by r. B. MilIin, extension live
stock specialist and is intended pri-
marlly to serve as a guide In raising
pigs for the army OF boys and girls
OF the state who are engaged In pig
club work. However, the bulletin ls
written In such an interesting manner
and contains so much valuable infor-
nation ons hog production that II
should also find an important place ON
the farmers bookshelf.
Under the general subject OF feeding.
the bulletin discusses the purposes and
the value Of the different feeds. Muscle
building feeds are compared and an
alyzed as well as those that are known
as fat builders. According to a table,
corn contains 50 per cent OF fat build
ing material. wheat a like amount. rye
81 per cent and barley so per cent.
The value and use of the different
grains and supplementary feeds are
considered In some detail. An Illus
tration graphically represents the diff
ference in feeding value between corn
alone and corn and alfalfa hay

With the general backwardness Of
the corn season in Montana this year
It is more important than ever to use
every possible precaution to insure a
good supply OF seed corn for the COM
ing year, says A. J. 0gaard, agrono-
mist for the Montana State College
Extension Service. The corn season in
most parts Of Montana Is from two TO
three weeks late. says Mr. Ogaard and
this means that much Of the ear corn
will not mature unless frost holds off
for an unusually long time this fall.
Therefore the corn growers must
gather their seed corn at the earliest
possible date If they wish to avoid a
seed corn failure.
A study OF the national corn situa-
ton brings with II a good lesson re-
gariing seed corn says Mr.. Ogaard.
Last fall weather conditions In many
Of the eastern and central western
states were unfavorable for seed corn
gathering and the winter following was
not particularly favorable for the cur
ing Of seed corn under the methods or
dinarily used there. AS result, corn
growers in these states put much In
ferior seed corn In their corn planters
last spring and that Is at least one Of
the causes of the short crop this year.
Montana, on the other hand, enjoyed
exceptionally favorable seed corn con-
ditions last fan and winter and as a
result this state had an abundance Of
good seed at planting time last spring.
This year conditions are apparently
reversed and Montana corn growers
VIII have to make the best Of the sit
uatiOn.

NEW WHEAT GRADES
IMPORTANT TO GROWERS

OF special Importance to Montana
wheat growers Is the announcement Of
new wheat grade for the United
States which became effective Aug. 15'
1924, according to w. o. Whitcomb,
superintendent Of the Montana Grain
Inspection laboratory. The new grade
Is OF particular interest to Montana
growers because 1t applies especially
to the high quality wheat produced m
this state.
The new grade is known as Hard
Spring" and Is subdivision of the
hard red spring class. Requirements
for the new grade are that the wheat
must consist OF at least 50 per cent Of
hard, dark and vitreous kernels, and
the wheat must weigh not less than 80
pounds to the bushel. Moisture con-
tent is limited to IA per cent, not more
than two per cent of damaged kernels
are allowed and only one per cent Of
heat damaged grain is permitted. For
elgn material other than dockage shall
not total more than one per cent and
materials other than cereals shall not
constitute more than five tenths OF one
per cent OF the total. The grade per-
mits five per cent OF wheat OF other
classes. of which not more than two
per cent may be durum, and not more
than five per cent humpback wheat.
The new grade. according to Mr..
WhIfcomb. has been added to the sab
class dark northern spring, and diff
fers from this sub-class in that II has
higher qualifications. Instead OF T5
per cent hard. dark and vltreous ker-
nels required by the latter, hard spring /
requires IS ser cent OF grain meeting
