So. The reason that farmers are buying
$50 million dollars worth of fertilizer
a year is that the best farmers Of the
country know that it pays them to use

Summing up the relation Of fertili-
zation to farming under present eco
nomic conditions, DR.. Schreiner says:
with the present high cost of labor,
increased acreage is not so advisable as
increased production per acre. Under
present costs of production the proper
use of fertilizers offers of the best
ways for the American farmer to in

Dr.. Schreiner says hat intelligent
application of fertilizers makes it easy
to double or triplicate yields of pasture
grasses and, a point which is more i'm

farmers, to increase by this means, the
protein, lime, and PHOSPHORUS content
of the grasses. Such forage often i'm

DR.. Schreiner warns farmers that
they must not expect fertilizer to work
magic or to make up for shortcomings
of crops, soils, poor seed, inefficient
spraying, poorly plowed and cultivated
land, drainage, acid soil, or for a low
supply of humus.
Use manure to improve your soils.
Grow green when you can not
get stable manure Then you will have
better returns from your fertilizer he
advises farmers and points out that
there is a specific quantity of fertilizer
which yields the maximum profit in
any given case and the amount varies
greatly with different crops and diff
ferent soils, and is greater, by far, for
high-priced crops than for low-priced

Farm Loans Break
Record in January

January was a record-breaking month
for the closing of loans by the federal
land bank of Spokane. A check on
loans made by the bank on farm lands
in Washington. Oregon and Idaho
showed that during this month $780,
$50 was moved to hard-pressed farm

The So. 495, 524 loan figures in De-
cember, represented the high mark Of
1893. This shows an increase of over
500. 900 in January over the peak
reached in 1888.
This sum represents the closing Of
1,713 loans. OF this number 518 were
land bank loans and 1,195 were COM
missioners' loans, all advanced for gen.
eral farming purposes and in many
cases to prevent foreclosure.

applicants registered, and a total of

Pastures Frozen
Near P1entyWood

Ice and snow are hard to visualize
this winter, and it is difficult to realize
that it is winter at all. However, all
of the state has not had quite the same
balmy weather condition as Helena. A
letter to E. K. Bowman, Feb. l. from
A. F.. Zubarth. a farmer near Plenty
wood, who acts as a hail adjuster in the
summer for the hail board, contained
another picture.
It said that, while the weather in
that locality had been nice for about
three weeks, and the snow was half
gone, the ground was covered with ice,
and that livestock turned out to Craze

paw out a living through the ice. The

to be bought and few farmers had hay

ELECTRIC H0TBEDS
A PROVEN SUCCESS
COST OF OPERATING IS Low: IN
STALLATJON CAN RE MADE FOR
NOMINAL CHARGE

ELECTRICITY rassing through a small
cable about the size of a lead pencil
can be used to heat frames for grow
ing tranSplants of flowers and vege-
tables that are cOmmnr!; started
early and set in the garden when the
weather becomes suitable. asserts C..
C. Starring. Montana Experiment
Station hOrticulturist.
"There appears to be no reason why
such heat cannot be used to start flow
ering plants under frames along found
atoms or on suitably located borders"
Starring explains. Large, well-advanc-
ed plants would be established in their
permanent place by the time that the
frames are removed after the weather
warns up, he says.
An important advantage of electric
heat in growing transplants is the abil-
ity to control temperatures. a point of
importance where satisfactory manure
cannot be obtained. Some gardeners
report that transplants have been pro-
duced in from two to three weeks less
time than in manure hotbeds. In Ex-
pertinent station tests, no such striking
differences have been shown, probably
que u lldVlIlS SUCCESSFUL manure IOG-
beds.
Tests, however, have indicated that
early paintings can be timed better
in electric hotbeds because it is diff
ficult to determine how long it will
take a good manure hotbed to cool to
the point where good uniform germi-
nation can be obtained of cabbage,
c%aulifloWer and lettuce.
Other advantages of electricity are
that no large pits have to be dug each
year and refilled. There is no collect
ing, piling. and turning n to get it
in the right condition for the hotbed,
and the anu which is commonly
used in hotbeds al be applied to the
land.
Electric cables and thermostats as
used in the station test would cost from
$3.50 to $1,000 per sash, depending up
on the number of sashes under control
of n thermostat and the quantity of
the cable purchased.
At a 3 cent rate, the cost of current
was a total of $1.19 per sash to grow
tomato plants.

HGHLIGHTS OF
SHEEP INDUSTRY
MURRAY E. STEBBINS OUTLINES
IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRY
IN MONTANA

Importance of the sheep industry
to Montana was graphically describ-
ed by Murray E. Stebbins, secretary
of the Montana Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, in an address recently be-
fore the Federal Business association,
at Helena.
MIR. Stebbins gave data to show that
the sheep and wool interests formed
a substantial part of the states re-
sources and told of the part they play
in the economic structure of the COM
monwealth.
Montana was second among ali states
in the union in the production of sheep
and wool in 1888, the speaker said, be-
ing surpassed only by Texas. The sheep
industry population at the present time
is estimated to be in excess Of 4,00O,-
900 head.
Mr.. Stebbins also quoted an article
that appeared in a recent issue OF a
sportsman's magazine accusing the
sheep interests of placing a serious
handicap in the preservation and prop
agation of wild game. He emphatical-
ly denied that this was true, and pre-
sented figures gathered by the forest
service over a number of years to show
that the game population had been
steadily increasing in this state despite
heavy killings during the hunting sea-
on.

last night various methods of beautify-

met in the Industrial Home School for

Mr.. Mulford said the most impor-
tant thing to insure a beautiful COM
munity is the lawn.
He declared that carriers should not
be used on lawn mowers, nor should
the clipped grass be raked or swept off
the lawn. He said grass would benefit
greatly If the clippings were allowed to
settle to the ground between the grow
ing blades. Lawn mowers. he said,
should be set to cut at least inches
above the ground.
