Farm and Ranch Experiences
Hard Work, Good Stock, Feed
That's Formula for Success
In Dairy Farming Business
By MRS. KEMPER .SACKMAN
Fremont County, Wyoming

TO QUOTE MY husband, 'sSuc-
cess in the dairy farm business con-
sists of 16 hours of good, hard work
day, seven days week. You must
start with good stock, good feed and
feed well. Keep grading them up
and get rid of boarders."
He also laughingly insists that
cows are so temperamental that eff
you treat your wife well, treat your
cows better yet, for if you lose your
temper with them you cut down on
your supply of milk"
We have used registered bulls for
the last is years and now have one
purchased in Wisconsin, Colantha
Butter King Sensation. We. also pur-
chased two registered heifers at the
same time and place. At present we
are milking 20 cows.
All They Can Eat
AS to feeding methods, Mr.. Sack
mans principle is Feed all they can
eat with plenty of good hay"
He also raises and mixes all his
own grain, grinding barley and oats.
Twice day at milking time he feeds
a mixture of the ground grain and
of mineral mixed with concentrate.
The proportion is 6 or pounds of
mineral and grain and about pound
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1950-09-15

of concentrate a day per cow. In
grinding his grain he adds about 100
pounds of mineral to 2 tons of grain.
In the summer he also feeds some
hay and, of course, the pasturing. In
the winter he increases the individ-
ual feeding of grain, mineral and
concentrate and once day feeds all
the corn ensilage the cows can clean
up. He also gives them hay once
day and has plenty of clean,
warmed water available.
Irrigated Pasture
We have 35 acres of good, irri-
gated pasture land divided into four
pastures. These are rotated in use,
one being grazed while the others
are being irrigated.
We use three milking machines
and Mr.. Sackman is very careful to
milk at regular hours, at 5 in the
morning and at night. He never
varies by So much as five minutes.
He also keeps a careful calendar of
breeding.
Recently a testing association has
been formed here to which we be-
long. Thus individual records are
kept and cows not producing are
sold. In all we have about 40 head
of cows and calves.

Water Hole Made
In Dry Creek Bed
By K. III. JOHNSON
Hill County

THIS WATERING HOLE was
made in the dry bed of Sage creek.
There had been no water running
in this creek for period of two
years. Our county agent, r. F. Ras-
musson, placed the powder for me.
We used one case of ditching pow
der which was placed in single
row in the creek bottom. Each hole
containing the powder was made
approximately feet deep and Is
inches apart with 3 sticks of powder
placed in each hole.
It took about Is hours for the hole
to fill with water and when filled
the hole was about 80 feet long, 9

Early Lambing
Pays 3 Ways
By HERBERT TJAALANE
SaUeet Grass County

EARLY LANDING (about Jan.
15) has its advantage in more than
one way.
First, when spring work begins
you can go out in the field and go
ahead and finish your field work.
Second, you hit the best prices of
lambs before the rush comes of the
bigger percentage of the lambs.
Third, your lambs are also big
enough when green grass comes
that they take off in hurry.
found out the first year LANDED
early the lambs ate dirt and wool
and had quite loss from it. The
next year I ground about ton of
hay and 1000 pounds of oats and
500 pounds of wheat together
through grinder with a fine screen
and wasn't bothered with that
trouble again. But I had to give
them the mixture in a self-feeder in
creeps as soon as they became big
enough to want to eat. If I didn't
they got the scours by eating too
much when they were big. When
fed this mixture the lambs kept
growing and in good shape all the
time I had them in the corral.
could also raise more twins by doing
it this way.
When my lambs were ready I
sorted out the fatter ones and took
them to Billings market, where I
always received the top prices at
that time. I find the best time to
market your lambs is June, July and
the first part of August.

Frosted Wheat
Makes Good Feed

BECAUSE OF THE lateness Of
the season, some Montana farmers
may. have some frosted grain ON
their hands.
This will result in some loss, ac-
cording to d. J. Davis, superintend-
ent of the Montana Grain Inspection
laboratory. Wheat with more than 2
percent frost damaged kernels will
grade No. 2. Wheat with more than
4 percent frost damaged kernels will
grade No. 8.
Severely frosted wheat viii have
shrivelled kernels. The kernels will
turn dark color and will have little
flour content. If it cannot be sold
the only thing left is to feed it to
livestock.
Except in severe cases farmers
can reduce the loss, Davis says. The
first thing is to resist the temptation
to cut the wheat when it is green.
Let it stand until thoroughly rip
ened, then cut.
Farmers who have cut wheat
when too green more than likely
will suffer heavy loss unless it is
moved enough to dry it out.
Wheat that has been frosted too
severely to be marketable for flour
production will still make good feed,
provided, of course, that it is thor
oughly dried, feed manufacturers
report.
The frosted grain will be some
what lower in protein content, but
in all other respects will be as high
in feed value as normal grain, they
say.

THE STRANGEST thing about
mankind is how most folks will

Fall Blading Recommended
BY Lethbridge Station

SHALLOW, SUBSURFACE blade
tillage of stubble in the fall after
harvest is practice recommended
by the experimental farm at Leth-
bridge, Canada.
Such tillage is particularly waltz
able in years when there is con-
siderable post-harvest growth of
weeds, the station points out, but
it warns that the method, must be
used in such way as to disturb the
surface and the stubble as little as
possible.
Fall cultivation can be hazardous
if the soil surface is left bare and
pulverized, the station reports. II
the implement used buries the
stubble and leaves the soil surface
free of Jumps, conditions are ideal
for soil drifting. With the absence
of standing stubble very little il
any snow will be held on the field.
Tests Favor Blading
Ten-year tests with after-harvest
cultivation at the Lethbridge station
and tests at substations shows that
cultivation with blade kills weeds
without knocking the stubble down
while the one-way flattens and part
1y covers the stubble so that it does
not hold snow.
In years where there has been
excessive weed growth after harvest
blade cultivation at that time has
improved crop yields the next year
while one-waying has not.
The blade cultivator gives good
control of weeds with minimum
disturbance of stubble. The depth
of operation should not be too deep.
It should be just deep enough so
the blade will clean This gives the
best kill of weeds.
Check Volunteer Wheat
A number of operators in the win
ter wheat areas of Montana now
follow the practice of blading their
stubble Immediately after harvest.
They report the method is effective
in controlling Russian thistles that
make rapid growth after the crop
is removed.
This year in areas where hail
