W. pennopk, of FARMERS SHOULD KEEP A . FEW SHEEP ON PLACE Bozeman, Sept. 18 --The etptipment. of the Department of Animal Indus- try of the Agriculture College at ftiozeman is gradually being strength- mened. . While Montana is a sheep state there are •-not enough sheep being kept, on the small farms. The. early settler thinks because he has Imio free range, that sheep cannot be profitably kept. There is waste crop enough on every farm to maintain a small band. Sheep have their ad- vantages, they Mick up food that 'otherwise would ' - go to waste, and they destroy weeds; they give a return, • in: wool and Iambs every spring. They furnish fresh meat for the farmer at all setwoms; they can be sold at• any time to a local but her; they en mm be disposed of for breeding purposes, and thus there is PL constant cash iniciame the whole year. The fertility that is added to the F.r.;. oil by sheep is , an important factor anti should be considered. The Montana. Agricultural; College has niot spared efforts to improve , l'its 11! , o01 and in it will be found some IA.)f the best individuals in , the United States. The best Rambouillet ewes that could be found five years ago 'vere secured and used as , a faum.da- don .and additions have been made until the, flock now contains animals of most, superior breeding and it- dirv•idualty. The stud ram has been shown at many state fairs and the Interna- tional Live Stock Show and hats been beaten only once. Them Shropshlres are known as of the &attar breeding, the best in Europe. A few indfivi- du.all Shropshires of the Willamette Valley Oregon Were added last year. The Cotswolds are both American. and European bred and have won first prizes in the country at the ihow of the National Wool Grower's Association. MAROONS LOSE Moore was well represented at the celebration at Judith Gap last Fri- day and Saturday, many besitle.s the ball team being in attendance. On account of the muddy condition of the grounds, none of the events scheduled, except the ball game, were pulled off. Harlowton won from Moore in this game by a score of 4 to 0. The battery for Harlow - ton was mGrevetti and Moe, while Argesinger and Decker officiated for the Maroons. Wm. Melotte was in the city Yes- terday from the Everson tountry.

The ('roil) of 1912 is simply phenOm- mat in the states of the Northwest. In the aggregate it was doubtless I never equaled says Prot Thos. Shaw. But the conclusion should not be t - eached that this result is owing to Lthe high class character of the fanta- i l:nig. With the same rainfall as in 11910 the results would be little Lt Flay itmprovement on the crop of that I year. The bumper cm -op of the pres- ent is owing almost entirely to the unusual rainfall of the present season and to the timeliness with whielm it fell. This rainfall, unusual I in the length of its continuance, has not only given the farmer the ittamper crop referred to, but it will also give him. at least a. reasonable -cm - op in 1913 if it is properly conserv- ed, even though the season should he a dry one. How shall this mois- ture be conservedi? First by aw- ing the , stubble -s; second by plowing later in the season.; third by stirring the soil in the early spring with disc or harrow or both, and , fourth by harrowing the grain once or oftener after it has begun to grow.

It is greatly important that it shall •be conserved. As soon, therefore, as the crop Is removed the stubble land should be well dittoed.
