EXPERIMENTS AT.
NEW STATION ARE
NOW UNDER WAY
From Montana state College.

wYyHAT is the best way TO build
M up a herd of beef cattle un-
w der range conditions? Is 1t
possible to develop cattle that VIII
reach marketable condition at an
earlier age than at PRESENT. Can
the wool clip be economically increas-
ed through proper management and
breeding? Is the bacon hog going
10 take the place of the lard hog in
Montana? Will 1t be possible TO de-
velop a feeder hog industry In Mon
tana? These are some of the ques-
tions that 1t is hoped to answer from
experiments already started at the
new range experiment station at
Miles City, according to c. G. Abbott,
head of the livestock department OF
the Montana State College, who, with
II. w. Sheets, acting chief of the bu-
reau of animal husbandry of the I'm
fled State Department of Agriculture
will have charge of the experimental
work.
During the past month ITO head
of mature, registered Hereford cat
tie and rs head of Hereford calves
have been placed at the station for
the beef cattle experiments. For the
various sheep experiments. 600 head
of range sheep have been secured
from the government sheep expert
mental station at Dubois. Idaho;
500 of which are feeder lambs which
will be used in feeder experiments
during the coming winter, the other
400 to be used along with 500 pure
bred Rambouillett ewes in breeding
experiments AS part of the work
with pigs, 200 feeder pigs will be
shipped from the Miles City station
to a station In the Corn Belt to de-
monstrate the possibility of raising
feeder pigs In Montana. This part
of the work is continuation OF
work started by the United States
Department of Agriculture several
years ago.
Hog men will have a special in
terest In the work that is being
planned with the bacon type OF hog
in Montana, the purpose being TO
find out whether or not this type OF
hog can be produced In this state in
competition with the familiar lard
type of hog. For this purpose the
station plans to ship In a number or
Tamworth and Yorkshire hogs in
the near future.
The work OF getting the new plant
into operation is progressing very
satisfactorily, says Mr.. Abbott. The

to the various group conventions,
numerous general meetings are ar

EXPERT TELLS HOW
BARBERRY BRINGS
WHEAT STEM RUST
BY EMIL. IL. osTROM

tMr. Ostrom Is agent in cereal di-
sease investigations with the I'm
tied State department OF agricul-
ture. and Montana representative
Of the conference for the preven-
tion of the grain rust)
r Asst year the wheat farmers OF
Montana suffered very serious
- loss through the black stem rust
epidemic. which also hit the Dakotas
and Minnesota, even striking Kansas
and Nebraska. BY contrast, this year
has been a grand success for the
wheat farmer. both as to yield and
price. A wheat grower from central
Montana asked me at the state fair
TO account for this situation. Here
are the facts:
Severe attacks of black stem rust
were found this year near common
barberry. This plant does not grow
in wheat fields. 1t is not necessary
that Ii be In the wheat fields to dam
age the grain. Black stem rust is a
fungus growth on the grain. living
parasitically on the wheat stem. 1t
reproduces by means of spores, the
seeds of the rust. The rust Is visible
to the naked eye as powdery mass
of rust colored spores. The human
eye is not keen enough to distinguish
the individual spores
ReprOduces I'm Seven Days.
The summer stage of the rust re-
produces under favorable conditions
every seven days, multiplying itself
each generation by approximately
1000. The number of generations of
rust produced during the growing
season OF the grain naturally depends
on the growing conditions. Each
new generation of spores is distrib-
uted by the wind.
These sumner spores are designed
by nature to terminate within four
hours after the necessary tempera-
ture and moisture conditions prevail
injecting the growing grain plant as
1t does SO. The summer stage Of rust
continues to reproduce through the
growing season of the grain. AS soon
as the wheat begins to mature, win
ter spores (black spores) are produc-
ed on the wheat stem in place of the
summer spores. The summer spores
have been scattered by the wind and
with the necessary warmth and mois-
ture terminate as usual, but in the
absence of the growing grain plants
die. These leaves only the black
spores to survive the winter. These
are 50 constituted by nature that
warmth and moisture win not germ
mate them until they have first been
frozen and thawed repeatedly for one
season.
In the spring they terminate, pro-
ducing delicate secondary spores.
These are distributed In great guam
titles by the wind, but only those
alighting on the leaves of the com
mon barberry bush produce rust
These secondary spores are usually
found rusted about two weeks after
they come out. The rust penetrates
the upper surface Of the leaf, devel-
opes on the interior and breaks
through on the lower side In the form
Of cluster cups, being on the lower
side, open and dry and the wind
shakes out the spores and they are
carried through the air
New spores are matured each day

FEEDING GEESE FOR
THE FALL MARKET

pyrighted-Published with consent Of
The Peter Fox Sons Co., Chicago, Ill.
~ EESE are very easily fattened
r as they do not exercise enough
~ to wear it off and they are also
free eaters.
When growing they will range and
live from the vegetation they get on
the range and when brought In for
fattening in the fall should be started
on the grain ration easily so as to not
make too sudden a change.
Begin by lightly feeding on oats
wheat and corn in the morning and
at night, giving but very little at
time. At noon start them on the
poultry fattening ration, but do not
mix 1t too soft. Grind and mix with
1t some green vegetables and also mix
in very little sand.
This is the common method for
feeding geese for the average trade
IL you want to produce those real
heavy geese with the large livers,
you may feed as follows About 10
days before you want to market them
confine in an enclosure, take some
OF the poultry feeding ration In which
| you should mix enough more of the
red dog" or low grade flour, so
that you can make real dough. Take
this dough and make 1t into pellets
about the size OF your thumb, or we
might say about three-fourths of an
inch thick and two to two and one
half inches long. Take a pail or
pan OF these to the feed yard with
lyou, also a pail of water. Take the
goose by the back Of the neck and
stand astride of her back so that she
cannot flap you with her wings With
one hand reach around the head with
thumb and finger and hold her mouth
open. Then take a dough ball. dip
in water so that it will slip down
easily, stick 1t we'll back into her
mouth and release the head enough
so that she can swallow. and give her
time to swallow. Do this until her
crop IS well stuffed. This will cause
the liver to develop and give you
those big, prime goose livers that are
so much In demand Besides 1t will
put the fat on in liberal quantities.
This hand feeding is slow work but II
gets results, and that is what you
are after.

REGISTERED SEED
CROP WILL BRING
Big MARKET PRICE

yITH an estimated production
w of approximately 100000
bushels OF alfalfa seed for
the three states OF North and South
Dakota and Montana. alfalfa seed
growers are faring better than was
expected following the growing re-
ports of the summer months, says o.
j. Ogaard, extension agronomist of
the Montana State College. In Mon
tana the bulk of the crop was pro-
duced In the Miles City country and
In the southeastern part OF the state.
In the northern counties was some
what reduced, while in the western
part of the state, unfavorable wealth
er conditions at poisoning time re-
suited in the setting of small am
cunt of seed.
Mr.. Ogaard, who is also secretary
of the Montana Seed Growers assoc
iation. reports an increased demand
for registered alfalfa seed OF the
Grimm and Cossack varieties, and
predicts that the Montana crop this
year will be quickly taken up at
favorable price. Eastern and mid
dle-western seed houses are meeting
with constantly increasing demand
for registered, western grown alfal-
ia seed. and they are beginning to
feature such seed In their catalogs.
This years registered alfalfa seed
crop will be marketed under the new
United States grades, according to
Mr.. Ogaard. These grades are num-
hered, one. two and three, and will
be designated by the association by
blue, red and yellow tags. fastened
to the sealed bags in which the seed
is sold.
