Phil I. Cole of Chateau, MT, a leading northern Montana livestock owner, reports an exceptionally mild winter that cut feeding needs to mainly two small hay loads. He expects a strong 1919 wool clip with excellent staple, aided by favorable weather and rising prices, and notes buyers favor consignments amid unsettled postwar markets.
The speaker advocates fixed price margins to avoid price fluctuations and supports selling wool at current market prices to secure a safe return. He notes weather has kept sheep healthy, expecting better wool yields, and predicts a good year for wool growers.
A slogan urges Montana sportsmen to exterminate crows seen as agricultural pests. The appeal portrays the crow as a beautiful yet harmful bird harming crops by facilitation of pests. The piece contrasts earlier literary praise with a call for action against crows tied to farming interests.
Building plans for an up to date family home emphasize not just size and location but the integration of time and labor saving devices. To meet high living costs and scarce help, a small home must avoid waste space, ensure connected rooms, and include a breezeway or screened porch. The kitchen layout should keep sink, table, and stove close, with ample cupboards and a practical ice box. For modern ease, vacuum cleaners, electric washers and dishwashers, gas and electric heating, and other powered appliances are advised as long term investments.

Hart-Parr of Charles City Iowa continues wartime production and shifts focus to New Hart-Parr Tractors after investing 500000 in new machinery. The company highlights reserve power for emergencies and reports a Great Falls Montana branch house nearing completion to handle dealer and customer business.
The guide discusses economical dairy cattle feed using alfalfa hay and silage, with grain added for higher milk production. It presents a feeding standard of one pound hay and three pounds silage per 100 pounds of body weight, plus grain proportional to milk output, and notes Montana suitability and alternatives like Sudan grass hay.
State seed expert George W. Ascough predicts a shift from single crop wheat toward a broader mix of crops in Montana this year. Dry conditions and prior crop losses spurred farmers to diversify, with seed purchases already showing unusual activity for 1919.
A two year old buffalo bull weighing about 1500 pounds was taken from Mammoth Hot Springs and sent by express to San Francisco to join the park herd. The shipment, the third from the park this winter, cost 153 in prepaid charges and was consigned to the superintendent of parks in San Francisco. Buffaloes from Mammoth can be obtained by cities or zoos with a permit and prepaid shipping. The piece ends with an unrelated political remark about the Bolsheviks.
An advertisement promotes Cuticura products for baby rashes. It claims hot baths with Cuticura Soap, followed by Cuticura Ointment, and finishing with Cuticura Talcum. The ad emphasizes purity and fragrance and lists a 25 cent price.
Architect points out lessons learned in war work and the vast spending to improve labor housing. He argues that, unless returning soldiers find farms with physical and social comforts, they will not stay or be as productive. Better farm housing boosts efficiency and family welfare, urging investment to attract and retain farm labor.
