Director Extension Service
New Station at Fort Keogh
The transformation of Fort Keogh
into an experiment station gives
Montana the distinction of having the
onlv range live stock experimental
tn the United States, according
X. Arnett, head of the live
sto k department' at Montana State
Col'ege*. While range live stock has
constituted one of the chief sources
fa I m
to U.
of wealth in the western and moun
tain states, now for the first time
does this industry have an experi
mental ground of its own.
The converted fort contains 57,000
acres in all, 2,000 of which are ir
rigated and the remainder grazing
land, thus providing proper conditions
and ample room for a comprehensive
study of range problems.
The work of stocking and equip
ping the experimental ranch is al
ready under way. The contracts
have been let for the construction of
two silos with a capacity of 360 tons,
and these will be filled with com
in the fall. At present there are 41
horses and mules on the place and
approximately 1,000 tons of hay will
be put up. Irrigation plants and
pumping equipment is being installed.
The experimental work to be car
ried on will include a study of rota
tion and deferred grazing, winter
feeding on different rations, and
breeding and selection experiments
with beef cattle and sheep. Swine
production and turkey raising Qn the
range will also be studied. For ex
perimental purposes the ranch will
be stocked with 250 head of beef cat
tle, a band of sheep and 25 or 30
breeding hogs.
with the Fort Keogh remount sta
The general management of the ex
perimental ranch will be conducted
jointly by C. N. Arnett of Montana
State College and a representative of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. The Federal department is
providing the funds for converting
the fort and for providing stock and
equipment. For this purpose $29,—
400 has been provided and the trans
fer of property and equipment raised
the total to $40,000.

A trio of talented young women—the Ralston Entertainers—which
comes to Chautauqua on tha sixth day. will sound a refreshingly new
note in the program. With a splendid repertoire of songs and instru

and character readings and sketches, these charmtng maids Include in
their programs a quaintly costumed skit of the old Sooth. The old
Bougs of the "sixties"—the quadrille and minuet, now extinct, but fondly
remembered—all add to the charm of this presentation.
A iwiio soprano and cellist ; a soprano, pianist and reader, and a

Make Farm Cost Studies
Montana's noted
M. L. Wilson,
farm economist, will spend part of
his time during the next
months in
twelve
making farm cost and
farm management studies for the
United States Department of Agri
culture in different parts of the!
United States. At
the same time
Mr Wilson will continue with his
work Montan a> resuming his full
, \. f antics with the Montana State
\ ollep f Extonsi °n Service when his
inves Hgations f° r the Fédéral de
Piment are completed.
Mr * Wllso . n bas been Intimately
<7 nnecte<1 with the most conspicuous
changes that have taken place in
Montana's agriculture during the past
11 years. On coming to the state he
expressed the belief that corn could
be successfulyy produced in this
state. His efforts were directed to
wards the production of acclimated
varieties and to the extension of corn
growing knowledge. The effect of
his efforts along this line are most
noticeable at the Resent time, with
corn growing established on a firm
basis.
As county agent leader for Mon
tana during the war years, Mr. Wil
son played a leading part in building
up the Montana Extension Service.
When the financial slump came ia
the fall of 1920 Mr. Wilson started
an intensive economic study of Mon
tana farming, particularly in that
region known as the "Triangle." The
result of the study was Bulletin 66,
which has been described as the most
valuable text book on dry land agri
culture ever written.
Since his appointment
farm
economist for the Extension Service,
Mr. Wilson has devoted most of his
as
time in the study of farming sys- '
terns, applicable to a period of low
prices. He has particularly empha
sized labor saving devices to reduce
farm operating costs and along this
line, his work in introducing knowl
edge about the use of big teams has
become nationally known.
Hog Prices to Improve
While hog production has increas
ed in Montana, the pig population in
the United States as a whole has ma
terially decreased, says R. B. Millin,
extension live stock specialist. This
situation favors Montana in that the
general reduction will tend to bring
better prices.
The recent national survey shows
a decrease of about 21 per cent in
the number of sows farrowed last
spring as compared with a year ago
with a decrease of approximately 20
per cent in the number of pigs. This
condition, says Mr. Millin should
have a decidedly good effect upon
the markets which should prove to
the advantage of the farmers of
Montana.
County Agent Gets Promotion
H. N. Kaufman, for the past three
years county agent of Madison
coun
ty will leave during the close of July
to take up his new duties as Smith
Hughes agricultural instructor
Kalispell. Mr. Kaufman takes the
place of R. H. Gorsline who
ed to take up farming in the Flat
head Valley.
The county agent vacancy in Mad
ison county will be filled by Howard
C. Burgess of Palouse, Washington.
Mr. Burgess is farm bom and farm
trained, with

a special leaning to
His father's farm
in Washington is devoted largely to
pure bred live stock, and his work at
Washington State College; where he
graduated in 1916, was mainly with
live stock. In 1915 he was high
point roan on the Pacific coast cham
pion live stock judging team.
Carrying out his leanings towards
live stock, following graduation he
became assistant herdsman
famous stock farm of Carpenter and
Ross of Mansfield, Ohio. During the
next two years he managed the gov
ernment farm at Fort Keogh, Mon
tana. He was then called to
the
on
serve
as in Cowlitz
Washington, and after a year of suc
cessful work returned to his father's
ranch to help with its management,
remaining there until his present
call to Madison county, Montana.
Montana Has Cleanest Wheat
Montana now produces the cleanest
wheat of any state in the spring
wheat belt, says A. J. Ogaard, agron
omist of the Montana State college
extension service, but Montana can
not expect to maintain that position
unless steps are taken now to pre
vent the wheat fields becoming over
ridden with weeds and foreign ma
terial.
The reason for the cleanliness of
Montana's grain at present as com
pared to the other states is because
the other states have been under cul
tivation for a longer time and little
attention was paid in previous year?
toward preventing the fields from be
coming foul. As a result the aver
age dockage on wheat from North
Dakota last year was 11.3 per cent,
Minnesota 7.2 per cent, while Mon
tana was at the bottom with only
2.5 per cent dockage. The experi
ence of the other states may well
serve as a guide to the farmers of
Montana. Proper crop rotations,
summer fallow, the use of the right
kind of tillage tools, care in erad;
eating weeds, community cooperation'
in handling the pernicious weed prob
lem and the use of pure, clean seed
will keep Montanans wheat clean,
says Mr. Ogaard.

Adders Tongue For Wounds
j In the spring the children bring in
j early flowers which they call Adders
; Tongue. Sometimes it is the dog
tooth violet they so call, sometimes
the rattlesnake plantain; sometimes
the lily of the valley or the English
cuckoopint is called by the
name. The real Adders Tongue is a
fern with a fruiting spike that gives
It the odd name.

Teaching Child to Sow
Do not let a little girl who is learn
ing I» sew, form the bad habit of
pushing the cloth onto the needle in
stead of forcing the needle into the
cloth.
In teaching the Tunning
stitch, in which the needle weaves
through the cloth in small, even
stitches of the same length both
sides of the cloth, see that the size
of the stitch is appropriate to the
material, and the strength of the
seam desired. Uusually they should
be as small as possible.
Food Plenty, Cheap, Good
"The carbohydrate foods ate usual
ly plentiful, cheap and easily digest
ed. Cereals form the basis of the
diet in nearly all parts of the world,
Agnes Houston Craig said when she
was director of home economics for
the U. S. Food Administration of
Washington. These are what she des
ignates as carbohydrate foods;—
Starchy—potatoes and other starchy j
vegetables; flour, cornstarch, cereals,
bread, crackers. Sugars—honey, pre
serves, white and brown sugars, rais
ins, jellies and dried fruits.
The Model Home Kitchen
There is no room in the entire (
house more attractive or appealing j
to the home lover than a carefully i
planned, well equipped kitchen, shin- !
ing with cleanliness, says Helen Har
rington Downing, a recognized home ■
economics expert.
"Every housewife in the land, ]
whether she is widely experienced in j
household problems, or a bride just J
starting housekeeping, is interested
in having her kitchen workshop as
carefully planned as the rest of the
house.
A good definition of the best
kitchen is one that is so planned that
the maximum work can be done with
the minimum effort. It should be
carefully, completely and at the same
time economically equipped.
I cannot urge too strongly that
the following points be borne in mind
in outfitting a kitchen: 1—careful
planning and routing of work; 2—
making the kitchen attractive to the
eye, restful as a place to work; 3—
equipment for comfort, completeness,
and with the most useful tools.

At the third congress of the In

in Berlin, the following principles af
fecting women were unanimously
adopted;—1—Equal pay for equal
work where skill and qualifications
are identical for men and women; 2—
women not obliged to resign on mar

tarily on marriage should receive
compensation for the loss of their
pension, and in certain cases, their

PAYS TO SEPARATE AND FEED
SCREENINGS TO LIVESTOCK
i
There are a dozen
reasons why
screenings should be sepatated on the
farm and fed to livestock, says the
United States Department of Agri
culture. Screenings are an undesir
able farm product, consisting prin
cipally of weed seeds, cracked and (
shrunken kernels of grain, chaff, !
broken stems, and straws ,dirt,
other foreign material and
and :
often
constitute 10 to 20 per cent of the
grain as it comes from the thresher,
They should not, however, be regard- ,
ed as a waste but should be turned
to valuable account by feeding them j
to livestock.
J
I
When screenings are sold with the
grain they are classed as dockage,
and the grain farmer actually gives
them away because his grain is
docked accordingly to the proportion j
of screenings it contains. This loss
to the grain farmer mounts to huge
figures when large sections are con-
sidered. In 1923, for example, near-
ly 12,000,000 bushels of screenings
were produced, threshed, and market
ed as dockage in the states of North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota
and Montana. The sum of $675,000
was paid by the farmers of those
states for threshing their screenings
or dockage, and $800,000 was paid to
the railroads for hauling it to the
terminal markets. Millions of dol
Jars' worth of good feed was thus
given away. The grain farmer was
the loser.
The average screenings are more
nearly equal to oats in composition
than any other common feed. Heavy
screenings from which the chaffy ma
terial has been removed are nearly
equal to corn, wheat or barley in
the percentages of the various nu
