Field Feeding
B. C. Hallman, who drives a 12
horse team six abreast, tandem fash
ion, has devised a unique feeding
rack. The following description was
prepared by Mr. Hallman:
"It has generally been supposed
that an eight-horse team is about the
maximum size that is practicable for

but by the use of a new feeding rack,
we have foundit quite feasible to use
larger outfits. This feeding rack
renders it unnecessary to unhitcch a
single tug for noon feeding,
rack is built on skids so that it may
be moved freely about the field. By
merely hooking it to the back of the
field implement by means of log
Tho
chains, it may be drawn from place
to place as convenience suggests. The
troughs in the racks are lined with
metal for watering and are fitted
with plugs for draining. Water and
oats are brought to the field about
once a week. Both the wate*' tank
and oat box are mounted on the
same wagon- See Figure 40.

turn the water hose into the troughs.
After the horses have had their
noon drink, the troughs are drained
of the surplus water, and the feed
oats are thrown in. The horses will
have finished eating by the time the
driver has had lunch and oiled the
implement.
"To get the team out of the feed
ing rack, the operations are as fol
lows: First, withdraw the rear
trough, which rests on a roller made
from an old binder roller, swing the
gate open, turn sharply to the left
and simply drive out to work. All of
this requires less than an hour, sav
ing the time of unhitching and walk
ing to and from the stables, «oper
ating and tying the horses in the
stalls, reassembbling and hitching
Sufficient time is saved at noon to
fully compensate for the extra work
in handling the large outfit as com
pared with the unhitching of a small
er team at noon. The rack may also
be usedto good advantage in hitching

, .
in the morning, especially when
driving wild or unbroken horses. By
swinging the gate to a closed posi
tion, the team is practically corralled
until ready to start. We are also
continually breaking fresh colts and
driving green unbroken ones and
find this method of hitching and
driving satisfactory. After the team
is once lined up for its work, the
rear lines are hung on the implement
and only one pair of lead lines is
used. Those who have never driven
such an outfit will be surprised at the
ease with which it can be handled."
Other Systems of Field Feeding
Where fields are a considerable
distance from barns, some men take
a feed rack like that shown in Fig
ure 41-A to the field and water and
feed from it. This one was used on
the Noble Foundation farms in Al
berta and accomodates two 12-horse
teams, the teams, of course, being
unhitched. Figure 41-B shows one
of six portable feed boxes used for
noon feeding without unhitching in
connection with the Horse Associa
tion hitch. In the Pacific Northwest
big team country the horses are al
ways unhitched and fed in the barn
at noon.
Another Illustration showing that
it pays to raise turkeys was given
in Lewistown recently when a mer
chant purchased three turkeys from
Mrs. John Fogarty of Suffolk, pay
ing her $18.01 for the three birds.
One young tom brought $6.10, while
two old toms netted $12.91. Mrs.
Fogarty each year raises some fine
turkeys, deriving a neat sum from
this industry..

-About Farming
(From Montana State College)
ESTS conducted by Lincoln
county farmers during the past
season indicate that fall grains
are best adapted to conditions in the
northwestern part of the state. On
the farm of J. W. Murray, Washing
ton Hybrid 128 yielded 27 bushels to
the acre. This is a soft white wheat
grown extensively in the wheat
growing sections of Washington and
Oregon. Karkov, a hard, red winter
wheat, yielded 21 bushels to the acre.
# « •
L. J. Otness of Farmington, Teton
county, has planted 20 acres of win
ter wheat with a furrow drill this
fall. The seeding was done on stub
ble ground on the theory that the
stubble aids the furrows in holding
winter snows, thus providing a great
er amount of moisture for spring
growth About 200 acres were sown
to winter wheat on Porter's bench
to try out the crop in this area. This
grain was planted with the ordinary

Rosebud county is making good
progress in its crop standardization
and pure seed work. During the
month of October the fields of regis
tered and certified seed in the coun
ty were checked up and it was found
that in most cases good yields were
obtained. There will be little pedi
greed available next spring, how
ever, as most of the growers propose
to use their seed for planting ap
proved seed plots at that time. This
will result i na great increase in the
pure seed supply and with favorable
conditions should provide enough
pure seed to meet the growing de
mand of the farmers for the follow
ing year.
Fred Loeffler of Bad Rock, Flat

4-H CLUB WINNERS
GO TO CHICAGO
(From the Montana State College).
S WINNERS of the annual
state contests conducted by the
Western Railways' Committee
<fh Public Relations and a Chicago
mercantile house, Don Wilson of
Columbus and May Obergfell of Sid
ney will represent Montana state
at the 1926 Boys' and Girls' Club
Congress at Chicago which opens
November 30. Among the more than
2,500 club members in the state, the
work of these two has been declared
to be the most outstanding by the
committee of judges at the Montana
State college, and as a reward, they
will take part in the annual confer
ence at Chicago which is attended
by thousands of 4-H club members
representing every state in the Un
ion.
A
The winner in the boys' division
is a member of the Misco Corn club,
has been engaged in club work for
the past six years and has been a
leading factor, not only in promoting
club work, but in the developing of
better agriculture in his community.
While his chief efforts have been
with corn he has also belonged to
pig and poultry clubs. During his
last three years as a club member he
has exhibited at 20 different fairs,!
including community, county and the
State and Midland Empire fairs and
the State Corn show and has won
more than $70 in prizes.
In 1923 he belonged to both the
corn and pig club with one acre of
corn and one Duroc-Jersey pig. His
total receipts, including prizes won
and the sale of his products, were
$140.50. This year he was a mem
ber of the state championship corn
demonstration team and a member
of the county live stock judging
team which placed fourth in state
competition. He placed first In
sheep judging in the state contest.
He also was president of his local
club.
The following year he devoted his
attention strictly to corn, his acre
yielding only 25 bushels, this being
a "off year" for corn, but his total
'1 returns were almost $70. He again
was a member of the county corn
judging team which placed first at
the Midland Empire fair and second
at the State Corn show.
During the past year he put in
five acres of corn which yielded 300
bushels and brought him a total re
turn of $167.60. He exhibited at
the State and Midland Empire fairs,
and for the third year in succession
was a member of his county corn
judging team. This year he was ap
pointed club leader for his commun
ity and directed all club activities
there.
May Obergfell, the winner in the
girls' division is a member of the
Sidney Girls' 4-H club. She has been
a club member for four years and
has engaged in canning, clothing and
room improvement work. In 1924
she won both county and state
scholarship for her excellence in
club work.
She has exhibited ner products at
county and state fairs and this year
had three prize winning dresses at
the Interstate Fair in Sioux City,
Iowa- She has won more than 330
in prizes. She has served as presi
dent and secretary of her club and
during the past year was appointed
community club leader. Last sum
mer she was a member of the demon
stration team which gave canning
demonstrations at home demonstra
tion club meetings and at the 4-H
club camps.
The two champions leave for Chi
cago November 27 and on the way
will join the 27 other club members
