Two farmers discuss harness galls on horses and the risks of neglect. Properly fitted harness and saddles, regular oiling, and gradual conditioning prevent painful, potentially permanent injuries. Salted wash and careful brushing aid sensitive areas.
The piece lists old remedies for horse wounds using alcohol mixtures and carbolic solutions, plus cautions on removing hornlike sloughs and protecting wounds. It notes T. C. Power Company of Helena will buy grain and grass seed after harvest.
An expert from Bozeman notes fan weed, a European annual, infests large Montana fields and chokes grain. It seeds early, persists through dormancy, and spreads via seed capsules, hay, grain, and irrigation ditches. Control demands coordinated summer fallow, timely tillage, and early destruction of seed-bearing plants.
An advertisement touts Cuticura Soap for shaving bathing and shampooing. It promises doubled razor efficiency, skin purity and health, no irritation even with twice daily shaves, and no germs or waste. The copy emphasizes one soap serving all uses and avoids mugging or slimy soap.
Farmers and experiments advise selecting seed from the hills with the most marketable tubers. Dig examines hills for eight to nine good potatoes each, regardless of smalls, and separates the high producers. Seed selection should occur annually to retain high yield traits.
Practical farmers can estimate annual feed by animal. For a 1500 pound horse at moderate work the yearly need is about 9 000 pounds alfalfa and 2 250 pounds oats with pasture days and hay days included. A Holstein cow producing 7 000 pounds milk requires about 7 000 pounds alfalfa 11 000 pounds silage and 1 750 pounds barley annually.
Twenty states offer lands on 10 percent down and 10 yearly payments at 6 percent interest. Dairying fits timbered western Montana and can convert to pasture cheaply. Alfalfa, hogs, poultry, fruit, berries, garden crops, grain, clover, timothy, potatoes and stock roots thrive. Prices fixed by appraisers, stripped of commissions. Land selection assistance available.
