THE SANDES8 COUNTY LEDGER. 'TREASURE STATE FARM AN I LIVESTOCK SHERIDAN MAN IS RAISING PURE BRED BULLS AND SHEEP TYPEWRITER GOOD THING ON FARM ANY FARMER WITH TASTE FOR wurriNG CAN SELL ARTIC- LES TO FARM PAPERS Wonsan Who C. -a Write Understand- ingly of Home and Children Is a Rarity and Can Always Sell Her Stories at Good Price; Don't Write About \Wonder Farming.\ Opportunity for service and pay foe college people in agricultural journalism is treble that ie the field orreporting. To make good in the fleid of agricultural journalism, one meld know agriculture, dairying, and antmal husbandry. A woman editing a woman's de- partment must know cooking and sewing, but she must remember that there is something in fife besides those things — culture. Articles should be written humanly and sym- pathetically. . Plans of Houses Interest ' To find a woman who can write noderstandingly of home and children is almost like counting the preverbial ken's teeth. There are plenty of wo- men who can do society reporting amid editing but the -other type is a rarity. The girl who can write sym- pathetic stories of home problems add of entertaining children on rainy dayswithout making such stories meshy—has her success assured. Stories of the home and plans of honses attract perh the most in- terest in an agricultural publication, Aad should it not be so! There the family resides, there evolves their whole history—their joys, their trag- eries, their comedies. To such an ex- teet is this true that stories of homes —accompanied by graphic plans— will find a welcome with the compe- tent editor. Typewriter Farmers Increasing The quality of the material sent to Wm publications by practical farm- ers is improving and the number of typewriter farmers is increasing as mdre and more men and women go out from the colleges with the ability to tell of their experiences under- stipdly. The stories most populat with the farm magazines are success stories and stories of deices. Too many farm stories are wearisome to farm people. Stories of \wonder farming\ are never popular with practical ferm- ent One of the best known pure bred sheep ranches in Montana is that owned and operated by W. M. Rhodes of Sheridan, Montana, under the name of the Clover Meadow ranch, where imported and native bred \Sultans Brace, first in his class and Junior champion in five eastern states in 1917, as well as first in his class at the Chicago International last year. \Red Baron, raised by Bellows Clover Mead ow Hampshire's Hampshire sheep are being raised. Mr. Rhodes is also raising pure bred Scotch Shorthorn cattle. In speaking of his operations, Mr. Rhodes says: \The breeding of pure breds in the northwest is coming to be appre- ciated more as the necessity for us- ing better blood in the range stock Is more apparent, due to the congest- ed condition of the range. The cat- tle men, too, are awakening to the fact that the use of better blood will give them greater returns. \There is a great shortage of pure bred stock throughout the Northwest. We have several splendid herds of different cattle and sheep pure breds in Montana, yet we cannot begin to supply the demand. For my part I would be very glad to see more en- gaked in this business. \We should all put our shoulders to the wheel and help In the in- creased use of pure breds. Let our watchword be increased production.\ \I am only a beginner in the pure bred cattle business, my first Short- horns having been bought only last July. I have .40 head of pure breds. I have a herdsman taking care of the stock and hope to make a creditable showing at some of our fairs next fall. Among my herd bulls are: A Truck Will Haul Mere Than Your Two Best Teams You can depend on the STEWART Truck. They have a reputa- tion for economically serving on the payroll of nearly every branch of industry for over five years and in all that time, none have ever worn out. We are ready to help you solve your hauling problem, with a fully guaranteed truck fitted with the body suited for your particular needs at a price you can ef- fort' to pay.

PEET GOT MAD WHEN HE HAD TO WAIT FOR WEEKS TO GET IN Forces Issue by Enlisting With Con- tingent Headed for Training Camp and His One Desire Is to Get Across the Water and Take Smash at the Huns. Herbert M. Peet, well known over Montana as editor or the Equity News, left last week for San Fran- cisco to enter the national army at Fort McDowell, and before leaving he announced his retirement as edi- tor of the Equity orearizatIon's paper. S. A. Mellen of Plymouth, Wis., was announced as his succes- sor. The latter has been engaged in newspaper work at Plymouth. Peet wasn't satisfied to wait and take his turn with the draft and so ' some weeks ago he offered his service Meadow Brook Herefords McNAMARA & MARLOW Big Sandy Montana Meadow Brook Herefords Meadow Brook Herefords Herd headed by Cuba's Panama 2nd an outstanding son of A.. B. (look's great herd bull Cuba's Panama No. 372,431, combining through both sire and dam the great blood of Bean Brummel, Lamp- lighter and Don Carlos.

Ar- mour of Kansas City, Missouri, a herd of great size and stamina. A choice lot of yearling bulls ready for service by July lit out of this herd will be ready for delivery after April lit, 1918. Also an equally choice lot of yearling bulls, full blood, but not registered, will be ready for delivery the same data Farm Biz miles from Big Sandy, where these bulls can he seen at any time. Herbert M. 'Peet with the field division provided he got an early assignment. There was delay and when he heard the next contingent from this city was to go to Fort McDowell he at once wired to Washington and asked If there was any hope of an early assignment, naming June 1 as the limit, and tell- ing them he proposed to get into the service somewherg else if they could not dispose of his case earlier than that. Getting a wire that explained there was little hope of getting his position advanced so as to meet that date limit, he at once wired his re- signation and secured the permission of the local board to go .with the next contingent on Saturday. Peet is a native of New York and has been in Montana for a year and a half, during.all of which time he has been the editor of the Equity News. He has been responsible for that publication and has made It un- usually successful for a class publica- tion so recent!) , established. In addi- tion to handling the Equity News, Peet was responsible for the Co-oper- ators' congress this year and it prov- ed the biggest thing of the kind ever held in Montana. It brought nun of national and state prominence, in, eluded In the speakers being two gov- ernors, and men from the national administration, Governor S. V. Stew- art and Governor Lynn J. Frazer of North Dakota both being on the pro- gram. Peet handled the legislative ses- sion for the News last spring and again at the special session and made many friends from various parts of the state He has a brother, Harold L. Peet, now serving with the 206th regiment in France and he is hoping for quick action in getting across to fight the Hung. CUTWORMS ENEMY TO THE GARDENER WHAT THESE PESTS ARE AND HOW THEY DEVELOP FROM THE LARVAE STAGE Sometimes they Reach a Length of Two Inches and Are Very Destruc- tire; Poisoned Bran Mash Properly Applied Will Rid a Garden of Cut- worms. One of the enemies of the boys and girls who have enlisted in the Mon- tana garden brigade for the summer is the cutworm and the boys and girls ought to know something about their worst enemy. One of the most common questions heard during cutworm outbreaks is, Where do they all come from? It may be well, therefore, to outline briefly the life history of the army cutworm and describe the various forms in which it appears at differ- ent seasons of the fear. Larvae or \Worm\ Stage This is the form most commonly seen. When first hatched from the egg it is less than one twenty-fifth of an inch long and when full grown may sometimes reach a length of two inches. The color markings vary considerably but generally the prin- cipal ones are two brownish stripes on each side of the body and two chocolate stripes on the back which are separ ted by a narrow line of gray. The worms are to be found in the late fall, winter, an early spring but are seldom seen except in the spring. After they have completed their growth, which is usually some time in May, they construct an oval, earthen cell about two inches under the surface of the ground in which they transform into pupae. The pupae is a brownish, inactive object about one-half inch in length. About six weeks is spent in the pupae stage -from some time In May to early Judy. %dolt or Moth Stage After a period of transformation the pupa breaks open an I the moth emerges and forces its way out of the soil. The general ground color is brownish or grapish and the front wings have more er less dis- tinct color patterns of lighter brown aqd gray. The hind wings are lightt.r in color, especially toward their bases. The moths have a long, coiled proboscis with which they suck the nectar from flowers; they are not at all injurious in their feeding hab- its. They are quite long lived and, se. far as we knbw, do not lay eggs until September or October. The eggs are whitish in color and are very small and hard to see. The moths deposit eggs in the bare soil, upon clods of earth straw stubble and pieces of roots. They may pos- sibly be laid in other places, but we have never found them upon green vegetation of any kind. 'The eggs hatch in from 10 days to two weeks, the time required varying consider- ably. Why these cutworms may be very scarce or rarely seen for several years and then suddenly become so abun- dant,that they gather and march in armies is one of Nature's mysteries that has not been explained, and as yet we are unable to predict when another outbreak may occur. Protection Against Worms To protect plants grown from seed as well as transplanted crops, a poi- soned bran mash bait is very effect- ive for killing cutworms. Make as follows: Paris, green, 1 pound; bran, 20 pounds; cheap molasses, 1 quart; Water enough to make a stiff mash. A small quantity o$ this bait is then placed in a little pile at the base of each plant r hill of plants to be protected. It is some times ap- plied to fields before plants are set out. On corn land it may be placed either with a seed drill or by hand, placing a tablespoonful at each hill or plant. In grain land it should be sown broadcast. The poisoned mash is most effective when moist and should therefore be applied in the late afternoon or early evening. In the home garden where a few plants of cabbages, tomatoes or simi- lar vegetables are to be protected, a sure way is to wrap the step in a cylinder of heavy paper or knock the bottom out of a tomato can i ttcl then press the tin cylinder down into the soil around the plant.
