Leading articles from Montana State College in Bozeman describe state and federal funding for tillage experiments and their agricultural results. The paper urges readers to file these experts' articles away for reference.
Montana Experiment Station evaluated feeding strategies to reduce wintering costs for range ewe lambs and ewes. Three rations were tested: hay alone, hay with oats, and a combination of wheat screenings oat straw and alfalfa hay. The screenings mix proved 25 percent cheaper than hay, delivering similar gains and body condition, with oats partially substituting hay.
The report sets values for oats straw and wheat screenings used to replace hay in lamb rations. It notes screenings are worth more than typical hay replacements and gives per ton prices for feeds, with costs per day ranging from about 0.11 to 0.12 dollars. All feeds were fed in racks or troughs, limiting waste.
Mrs. Margaret Mahr’s lilac bush at her Carbon county ranch surprised by blooming in fall after grasshoppers stripped its foliage earlier in the season. The plant leafed out again and produced blossoms, though not as abundantly as in spring.

F B McSpadden agricultural agent for Cascade helped push a Great Falls conference with other corn show agents.

Over 30000 dollars is available and may rise to 50000 dollars to finance cow purchases if working plans align.
