salads, desserts, or meat accom-
panimentS. .
Even though they may cost a
little more it's always best to
buy top quality fruit. No matter
how they are preserved, the end
product is no better than the
fruit before it was processed.
Blemishes, soft spots and other
defects are liable to be even
more pronounced in the fruit
after it has been stored.
Select firm ripe fruit. II
bought in large quantities the
fruit will probably have to be
sorted according to ripeneSS and
put up" in small quantities as
it ripens. This is especially true
with pears.
The hot pack method is really
the most successful for canning
peaches and pears. Prunes can
be canned by either hot or cold
pack method.
Even the smallest quantity OF
slightly over-ripe or bruised
fruit in the box or bushel
should be used for jams or but
tiers so that none of the fruit
will be wasted.

GIVES POINTERS ON
FIRE PREVENTION

Population figures show that
only one person in five lives on
the farm. Yet one of every three
killed by fire is farm resident.
The danger is great but the
remedy is easy. Ninety percent
of all fires can be prevented.
Don't let common fire hazards
destroy life and property.
The National Fire Prevention
Association lists these eight haz-
ards which are responsible for
nearly all fires in rural areas:
I'D Careless smoking habits.
(2) Accommodations of debris.
CD Improper storage of gaso-
line and kerosene. Flammable
cleaning fluids.
"a Children playing with
matches.
(5) Dirty or defective lamps
and lanterns. Dirty engines and
machinery. Dirty heating plants
and chimneys.
co Defective electrical equip
ment and frayed cords.
CD Flammable wood shingle
roofs.
(s) Improperly cured hay in
barns.
DEMONSTRATION AGENT
SAYS CANNING PAYS
Wise homemakers are busy
putting fresh fruits into jars
or freezing cartons now. AL
though prices are high, fruit
bought and preserved at home
will slice a lot off of winter
food bills.
Fresh peaches, pears and
Italian pruneS are plentiful on
the market now. Peaches and
pruneS can be frozen and can
ned with equal success. Canning
is still the preferred method OF
preserving pears, however.
Any of these fruits, whether
they are canned or frozen have
a variety of uses in wintertime

rounding area, and the rest to indi-
vidual ranchers scattered throughout
the state. The 500 Herefords at the
sale averaged $513.
A directory of the breeders of Alb
erdeen-Angus cattle in Montana will
soon be available, according to w.
j. Harrer, secretary of the ~associa-
ton. The new directory of the breed
will carry a full list of the breeders,
their location and something of in
terest about each of the members of
the association.
One example of the difference be-
tween the sale price of good and
choice feeder calves over the price
received by common calves was re-
leased by the American Hereford
association this week. They report
that 1,648 head of good and choice
feeder calves sold in Virginia feeder
calf sales in 1947 brought SAL. 85 per
head more than the common calves.
This may eel a large spread in
price until you consider that the
good and choice calves weighed So
pounds or IL percent more than the
common kind, and sold at 1888 more
per Cwt., a 40 percent increase in
sale price per Cwt. Small wonder
that good cattlemen in Montana can
and do pay an average of $500 to
$500 nor for the top end of the
bulls offered for sale in the state.

Control Diseases

8. Controlling disease. Methods of
controlling or eliminating or keeping
herds free from mammitis, Bangs
disease and other scourges of high
producing herds have been or are
being worked out. Heavy losses a
be greatly reduced or avoided if
these methods are used.
4. Saving labor, by such means as
more convenient arrangement of
barns and barnlots, mechanical milk
ing, and use of the "fast milking"
practice. Size of the herd may need
to be increased to justify the invest
ment in these facilities. But, the
herd should not be increased beyond
the feed supply and pasture limits.
5. Improving market outlets by
qualifying for and patronizing the
best marketing channel in the COM
munity. Barns and milking and
handling equipment should be i'm
proved where necessary to produce
clean milk and meet sanitary re-
quirements.
For farmers who will operate
along these lines, dairying is likely
to be one of the more profitable
forms of farming in the next few
years.

employment and the general price
level for another year or two.
Whenever the slump does come, it
means lower consumer buying power
and lower dairy prices. However,
dairy products are not likely to de-
cline as much as feed costs. Also,
hired labor will be cheaper under
those conditions.
With prospective changes likely to
make dairying o popular, those
who expand early will be in better
position to cash in. They will have
their herds going full scale when
feeding ratios become more favor
able. They will have breeding stock
for sale when demand increases.
Numbers of yearling dairy heifers
and heifer calves on farms on Jan.
1, 1948, were about as large as in
1894 when dairy herds were in
creasing. A good supply of young
stock appears to be coming on to re-
plenish herds or start new ones
Saving a still larger proportion of
the good dairy heifer calves appears
advisable.
Ways to Improve Returns
Many things can be done by dairy
men, individually and collectively,
to improve their returns. Chief of
these appear to be the following:
l.. Getting better COWS. This means
more progeny testing to identify the
bulls transmitting high production;
also, the establishment of more
breeding centers and increased use
of artificial dissemination to make
the widest use of the better bulls.
About 4 percent of the milk COWS
were bred in that way in 1947.
2. Feeding better and more eco
nomically. More lining and fertiliza-
ton of pastures, reseeding with
better pasture crops such as alfalfa
and ~bromegrass, ladino clover and
planning pastures for a longer graz
ing season are steps in this direc-
ton.
Good legume roughage permits re-
ducing the grain ration and, par
ticularly, the expensive high protein
feed. Increased acreage of adapted
varieties and use of devices ano
methods of drying hay or ensiling
when weather is extremely unfavor.
able are ways to better roughage fol
dairy cows.
Concentrates should be fed accord
ing to production. Many high pro
ducers are underfed and low pro
ducers are overfed.

Formers Urged to
Use DOT to
Get Cdttle Horn Fly

Since the horn fly season is
now at its peak in Montana,
farmers can effectively use DDT
to protect their cattle from this
pest, says o. b. Hitchcock, as
siStant state entomologiSt at
Montana State college.
Reecntly, he said, the college
has made tests of various DOT
mixtures to determine TIN e
strength spray that would be
best to use and how long the
residual would remain effective
under Montana conditions. These
tests show that a " percent
DOT spray is the most prac-
tical. It gives as effective con-
troll as the / percent spray and
the residual effects continue for
nearly three weeks or almost
as long as the stronger spray.
One daily herd treated with
the DOT spray showed an in
creased milk production of one
quart per Gov per day. Hitch
cock said, and in addition the
owner found that the animals
were much easier to handle
when not being pestered by
horn flys.
Farmers are cautioned how
ever, that in mixing a DDT
spray for animals only the wet
table DOT powder or emulsion
mixed with water should be
used as an oil mix spray can
be harmful.
And incidentally Hitchcock
adds, DOT does not work on
horses because the animals
sweat and the residual effect
of the insecticide is lost in a
few hours.

Bureau SaYs Ranges
In Best Shape
In State Since 1912

Montana range conditions as
a whole are the best for this
time of the year since. 1912,
according to the Bureau of Ag-
ricultural Economics. r.
Although precipitation was
above normal for July, there
was some decrease in range feed
in a few local areas. Feed on
the majority Of ranges is
heavy and lush except where
heavy grazing reduced the sup
uly available.
Fall ranges are in excellent
condition, the report of the
Bureau says, due to the album
dance of rainfall during the
past three months. There has
been some spoilage of hay
where the crop was caught by
heavy rains. The hay can still
be fed, but must be used soon.
Cattle and calves are holding
up well and should move to
market this fall in good flesh.
Plenty of feed and fresh water
have been available all summer.
Marketings are expected to be
lower this fall than last year.
Some ranchers are holding
their young animals for addi-
tional gains. The demand for
stockerS and feeders is uncer-
tain at present due to high
prices.
Ewes are fat, and lambs are
making excellent gains this
summer. Marketings will be
down this fall mainly due to
decreased numbers. !

lightning Blamed
For Too Many
Farm Animal Deaths

Don't be too quick to blame
the lightning if a farm animal
is found suddenly dead the
morning after an electrical
storm.
Actually, according to a spec
ial summer report issued today
by the American Foundation
for Animal Health death may
have been caused by any of a
half dozen different diseases
easily confused with lightning
stroke.
Nowadays, most farmers know
that animals killed by lightning
do not always show external
burns" the American Founda-
ton explained. Gas a result,
there have been many cases
where lightning got the blame
when the real william was some
such disease as blackleg, bloat,
malignant edema, plant poison
inc, organic poisoning, or photo
sensitization."
Livestock raisers were advised
to obtain a thorough postmor-
tenn of animals believed to have
been killed by lightning. Such
an examination may reveal the
presence of a disease, calling
for immediate precautions to
protect the rest of the herd.
"Differential diagnosis" be-
tween lightning stroke and GER
tain diseases is so difficult, the
American Foundation pointed
out. that insurance comDanies

sis on claims for lightning los
