OPPOIRNITY FOR BOY OR GIRL To Get Excellent Training Aleel Industrie Lines. Ceillege Thor- oughly Egnipped foe the Work •and Course Very Practical.. Bozeman Aug. 6— The Montana State College of Agrioulture and Mechanic Arts, has issued a bulletin 'under date of August 1, outlining the courses in agritcalture, home eco- nomics and mechanic arts. which are ogee to eighth grade graduates. The agrieulture college is reaching out to the rural communities and offering to the .boyi and girls there excellent opportunities for • training along industrial lines. The college is thoroughly equipped for the work and pre/paned to make it concrete and practical. The bulletin says, - The courses in home economics and mechanic arts are maintained for the benefit of the young women and men who are not convenient to high schools and especially for those who want in- dustrial education. :The large and well equipped laboratories, drawing - roams, kitchens, sewing rooms and shops provide for work that will rank with the best secondary poly- technic schools. The inetruction is given by the regular faculty members in their Special subjects. The school of Agriculture has for its specific purpose the training • of the Younger geneTatilan in such a way that the term 'farming' will mean a pleasure and a profitable source of income rather than the marl dreaded drudgery as thought 'of at present. Much of the Instruc- tion is of a practical nature and the student is broaght into actual con- tact with the problems connected with farm life. Students in this course have the opportunnity of studying a modern •cleiry in operation, including types of the best breeds of dairy cattle, a complete poultry plant, containing ,breeds especially illustrating the best laying strains and market fouls, modern grate and silo laboratories model farm buildings and barns, waif pure bred live stock, the experiment station farm, greenhoeses and or- ehards, the large biological chemi- cal alai physical laboratory and the well equipped wood - and iron shops of the engineering department. The methods employed are practi- cal. The instruction is supplement- ed with practice in the labcuestor- des, the dairy, the orchards, the greenhouses,, and with the herds. As - far as practicable, visits are also made to other farms and herds In the neighborhood. HEWETT COMPANY PRE- SENTS A GOOD SHOW. The Hewitt Moving Picture com- pany closed a successful week at the opera • house last night.

How to feed and finish hogs for market is a science a knowl- edge Of which is of great value to hog raisers. Remember the limited capaci- ty of the hog's digestive ap- paratus and form his concen- trated rations accordingly. Neither rape nor clover alone will do for growing, fattening hogs. They must have some grain twice a day for best re- sults. Don't give the sow too much bedding. Unless wisely fed and cared for a herd of fine hogs will de- generate rapidly. The day is not far distant when the scrub bog will be only a memory. Sometimes a week's chilly rains or cold weather will set the pigs back a month in their growth. le.10..404-40.0434044443-4044-4 BRAIN WORK COUNTS. The farnaers must get their heads into their work. I do not advise you to work longer hours In the day or to work any hard- er while you are at it. My text for the men on the farm is to get in wore head work. Some men seem to slave away many hours a day and yet accomplish very little. I question if these men read the Bible. The Bible says, \A man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow.\ Most men leave their heads out of the game and make a poor living by the sweat of their backs and the sweat of the backs of all the rest of the family.— Professor A. E. Chamberlain, St. Paul, Minn. 0 0 ^ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 eeeeeeee e \WAR IN MONTANA\ SAYS JUDITH GAP HEN FREAK EGG DISCOVERED AT THE GAP, WHICH CAUSES MUCH • CURIOSITY. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Webber brought to town the other day a freak that strained the credulity, yet M the face of eats its genuineness eauld not be doubted. It was an or- dinary hen egg, but embossed on the shell, in thicker and darker shell material, in letters of altraost per- fect formation were the words \War In Montana.\. • Among those who enspected the egg were some who doubted its genuineness, and en- deavored. to ecratch the words off but naturally they failed. Mr. and (Mrs.. Webber are willing to take oath that the freak is not a fake and that it was not possible for anyone to have slipped a doctored egg in the basket where it was found. Those acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. 'Webber know . that their words regarding the matter are not to be ateeetioned, Later, by accident, the egg was broken, and the owners feel the /boss keenly.

B. Cutler, Sec. City. \Dear Sir; I have your communi- cation ,of even date herewith asking for my opinion upon the matter of establiehing a permanent county fair association at Moccasin, Montane ! which would simply mean an enlarge- ment of the annul picnic held at that place to that of an agricultural aide aseocitatioh and whether the 'same would in any mallow contact with our asociation. \You are advised that I very much oppose the proposition for the good and sufficient reason that the Mecca - 'sin experimaent station was created for the specific perpoces named in the title, and flintier, for several years my attention has been caked to the fact that they haven't setae /client land at that point and that 160 acres additional would be required to fully carry out the purpose for which the. experiment station was created. Hence, I do not see that they would have any room on, their congested location for any fair association. 'I also deeire to (state that it has 'been a well determined preposition on the pert of the directors of the Fergus County Fair association to submit to the county commissioners and the electors of this county, the proposition of buying the property of the County Fair association lo- cated at Lewistown, Montana. act is authorized by legislative acti and quite a number of the counties in the state have availed themselves of Opportunity or taking advantage of the provisions of the act. \In order to hold a successful fair association it is necessary to he near some good sized city where ample facilities exist to take care of peo- ple, as many exhibitors would be Fergus County fair from the etand- Peint of an officer of the Judith Basin Farmers' Picnic association. astatedinmy a te ea n. on the day of the picnic,. I think one at the best possible things that could be done .would be to hold a county fair ationg with the picnic. There is nothing that interests the farmers in growing good livestock as Much as a good county fair. The work at the experiment station has dernonistrat- ed what can be done in the way of growing feed and will continue to do so. There 'are 640 acres devoted ' to the station, about the same . on easeh side of the railroad. The 'Bouith half could be d'evoted to the texperiment crop work anr the north lealf to animal husbandry and fair grounds. Those who heard Prof. C,ociley at the picnic will remember that he reicommended the addition of, animal husbandry to station work end said also that it -could be made ohs of the greatest gathering places, ot its kind in the world owing to the! great crops grown and the great op-i portunities and conditions for devel- eping livestock. , 4 ' 4 '4,T:here is a, spring of abutdance of s4plendid 'water running thin the northwest corner of this land.

Can a farming community success- fully conduct cooperative ceeameries, has been, asked. Listen,, The .first co-operative creamery in Todd Co., Minn., was organized in 1900 with th proud boast of 38 patron's and a total buelness at ti t te close od the year of almost $3,000. Eac4 suc- ceeding year many new Pations were added and the business flour- ished in a perfectly healthy, natural manner. At the close of the fiscal year of 1912, the patronage had in- creased to 284 and the creamery was paying out a trifle more than $10,000 per month to the farmers for their dairy products. Not is the story yet told. Taking their cue from the success of the initial enterprise,— other creameries were organized, from time to time, and with such un- varying success that today there are 19 ce-operative creameries in Todd county with 3,500 regular pat - TOMS. These creameries paid back to the farmers of the county $1,08e,537 during the year 1912. Their sue- cesrs has been attained through careful organization, the application of business methods .and the hearty spirit of loyalty on the pant of the farmers. Nothing strange or intri- cate about this, simply businesslike methods applied In a businesslike way. Note again the results of 12 years' co-operation in one little county in Minne_ota. Isn't it pnac- 'deal— Doesn't it pay! — Northwest 'Far'mstead. If su h great success can be at- tained. tin Minnesota, is there any reason why the same or better re- sults cannot be had thru the estab- lishment of a creamery at Moore? This country has everything nieces- eary for the raising of good cows and the prod ii of plenty of milk. /The opportunity is here if it is only taken advantage of.
