OPEN SEASON FOR CHICKENS NOW ON Many Moore Hunters Are Out Alter Game Yesterday morning the 'open sea- ' son on Jeer, elk, Rocky mountain sheep and goats, and on prairie chickens, - s - age hens, pheasant and grouse began and a number of . par. ties from . Moore were out to try their skill in bagging the various kinds of game, brith large and small. One . large pa r ty composed of W. R. Sharp, Chas., Willard, Sam Tilzey, Clarence and Ellis Wilson; -Mark Butler and Bob McFarland -left on Tuesday morning with one four. mule outfit and one two horse outfit loaded with bedding and supplies for Lost Fork in the Belt mountains about forty- five miles from here, where they will camp for about two weeks. This is said to be one of the best hunting districts in this section .as ,any number of big game, as well as small game and 'fish, have been brought in from there in previous • - years. Other parties signify their intention of taking a big hunt before the season closes.

In his speech at the Hill county fair, J. J. Hill named alfalfa as the premier forage crop of the west says the Montana Farmer. From the experiment stations all over the country come bulletins ad- vocating the further propogation of alfalfa on the farms of the country. In different parts of the state Ny.a hear of more and more alfalfa being plant- ed. And this, to our mind, marks the beginning of a greater agricultu- ral prosperity for the state. Farm- ers are gradually, too gradually we think, getting away from the old idea of exclusive grain -raising and are trying their hands at a more di- versified system of farming. More dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and hogs are coming into the country to go on the farms. The low prices of grain these last few years have taught the farmers a lesson and one we hope they will not soon forget. In almost every instance where farmers have fed their grain at home to the stock they have practically doubled the money they would have realized for their crops had they sold them on the market. Rotations are being planned and followed all over the state and the natural benefit .from these is bound to accrue. And the round which these rotations are built, the central figure of them all, is that great forage crop, alfalfa.' Potato4 raisers in Montana now have the opportunity of selling their big spuds at a liberal price. The Northern Pacific dining car servite wants them and will pay $40 per ton for the big ones. These pota- toes must weigh almost two pounds each, but they are not hard to find in this state. The N. P. railw4y, which has extensively advertieed \Great Big Baked Potatoes\ served -thAtIlVdining cars, is making .. ratureinents in various cities and towns in the state for the purch of a big supply of, theiti . ‘pcitatoett, and the fact that they want to get them from here is taken as an indication of the quality of the potatoes raised in the Treasure State. .... ..........

Many visitors from Fergus coun- ty were attracted to the fair this Year and certainly were not disap- pointed with the exhibits prepared and in charge of Wentworth and Suprenant. Fergus was awarded first in the county collective exhib- ite for the best display and ar- rangement, third\ for the best ex- hibit of grains and grasses and al- SQ third for the largest variety of products. In 'a number of the departments the exhibits were better and more varied than in any previous year and will do much toward advertis- ing Montana to eastern visitors. The exhibits of live stock, agricul- tural products of the mines and many' others fully demonstrate the wonderful resources of the state. The program was also a good one this year and the other attractions made a decided hit Shirts all sizes , Socks, 105 per pair, 3 pairs for Gloves, canvas, 10c,\ \ \ A dandy Muleskin Glove at - A good Buckskin, reg. $1.00 seller, - Gu'aranteed Buck, sells world over (or 1.50 at $1.40 $1,76 $7.50 $3.00 money Unipn suits, $2.00 value, at - WI Uneerwear, heavy, guaranteed 2 years at . - Extra Good Corduroy Trousers at - In Woolen Goods I have the best that 50c 25c 25c 25c - 75c can buy.

This is the only pickle factory in the state, and is &eking a phenom- enal growth. The storage capacity will be considerably enlarged and nes,:i modern machinery installed for making many different varieties of pickles. One _of,the cucumber growers who furnished cucumbers to the factory, Mrs, C. C. Campbell. this season realized $204 off her one acre patch. The average yield forlthe entire section was about $15i0 per acre on cucumbers. The entire fair was a grand suc- cess this year, receiving the united support of every county, as it al- ways should. BIG SEARCHLIGHT WILL BE USED ON TRAINS 4a . other thrill, another means of entertainment, has been devised by the passenger department of one of the big railroad systems for the bene- fit of its patrons. The searchlight, hitherto consid- ered generally as an adjunct of 1;es- gels' alone, has been seized upon as a means for enabling railroad passen- gers to enjoy the scenery- along the line after dark. In the past, dark - nets has made necessary the vacating of the observation platform, but now the unfolding panorama of hill and valley, river and lake, farm and vil- lage as picked up by the searchlight and its operator will doubtless make the platform of the observation car as popular in the evening as it is during the day. This is an innova- tion on railroad trains, and its intro- ducers believe it will meet with as much popularity as has the use of the searchlight on the river and coast steamers. It may he advisable for residents along the line of the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railway to draw their blinds after dark- and for strol- ling young couples to run when they hear a train, for the \searchlight man'll git you if you don't watch out.\ The lights in use on the Fast Mail between Minneapolis and Chicago on this line are of three million candle power and throw abeam three miles. The officials of the \Mil- waukee\ are at present considering the possibility of installing the searchlight service on their crack transcontinental train the \Olymp- ian.\ Importance of Sunimer Fallow Whether the fallow system will be an important part of the dry land -crop rotation after the country is set- tled and developed, when land is worth a hundred or more dollars kri acre, we are not saying, says Prof. F. S. Cooley. Under present conditions - and land values it is better practice to take one crop of 30 or 40 bushels, once in two years, than two crops of 15 or it) bushels each. Experience at the Moccasin experiment station indicates that it is good farming to take about three successive crops af- ter breaking. After that a summer fallow is obtained after - the third year from breaking by alternating crop and fallow. The reaults at Moc- casin coincide with the hest farm ex- perience in the Gallatin valley and elsewhere. Good farmers in these places summer fallow religiously. Summer fallow does not mean sim- ply allowing land to He Idle, and grow weeds and a volunteer crop. It has three definite objects: 1. To conserve and store up moisture. 2. To clean up the land and get rid of weeds. 3. To promote the pre- paration of available plant food for the next crop. These objects are best accomplished by double disking the land Carly in the spring, then plowing iii May or June, after the weed seeds have germinated. Plowing early helps to prevent the run-off of summer rains and prevents loss of moisture. Har- rowing should be done immediately after plowing, and thereafter often enough to kill the small weedsand to maintain a soil mulch': • BY fol- lowing this method, seed will germi- nate at once when sown the latter part of August, the land will be clean, and a heavy crop may -be confidently expected. Swiwwwis. Pool in Gyntsmalum The College of Montana at Deer Lodge is building a new emnasium which is to eontain a swimming pool. This is the only 'college in the state possessing such an attraction and the students are most enthusiastic. The building is of concrete and brick, 54 by 90, with ample space for basket ball courts cat the first floor. In the basement bealdes the swimming pool are dressing and toi- let rooms, shower baths and space for baseball cage and bowling alley, to be installed later. The building is going up rapidly, The contract calls for its completion by December 10th. Athletics have received a new impetus by the erection of this build- ing, and the securing of a strong coach. Coach Hendrickson is al- ready working with his football squad and anticipates for the winter a winning basket ball team. . WILL TEACH GIRLS HOW TO MAKE OWN CLOTHES Billings, Oct. 1.---A school which it is believed will be as beneficial to the students as it will be unique, will be started this week by the phil- anthropic department of the Billings Woman's Club in the basement of the public library here, The school is to teach the girls of the poorer classes . who are attending the public schools of the city how to sew, and at the same time furnish them with clothing. Merchants of the city, and various other individuals and organi- zations will supply the girls,, who are from:the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, with heavy goeds and other neces- sary materials, from which they will make their own lnderwear, under the guidance of competent instruct- ors. This will give the girls warm clothes for the \ter and at the same time teach them how to do plain sewing. U. S. land Matters. Since the Fort Pick land drawing many persons who registered are in doubt as to their rights in taking government land, hence the follow- ing questions and answers relative to land matters are published: Q --I registered at Great rails for the Fort Peck land drawing, drew a number above 5,000, but do not care to file because I believe the good land will be gone. Do I lose my homestead right? • A --No, if you do not file, esen though you secured a number, your rights are the same as prior to regis- tration...

SHAW.)- South Quebec the largest I There is now in the quaran St mpufliUea of milking Shorthorns ever bionght to America. Heretofore only ti few individuals of this class have ever crossed the Atlantic for this country. These cattle were purchased in, land by Mr. J. J. Hill, and will be brought to his North Oaks fans not far front St. Paul. Mr. Hill Is a strong believer in the value of the two purpose cow, that is, the cow for milk ad also for beef, usually spoken of now as the dual purpose cow, and of cows of this class he' regards none as superior to the milking Shorthorns, called in Britain the dairy Shorthorn. He believes that this type of cow ta one that is admirably suited the needs of the average farmer. and in this he is unquestionably right, not- withstanding -the teaching of many in our experiment stations to the con- trary. Many in those stations have taught that there was no place for tite.dual cow on the farm. They bare said -she was \a myth, a delusion and a snore.\ They have claimed that to keep her op the farm was like \going to bunt prairie chickens with a bull pup,\ or like \riding into battle on a heavy draught horse.\ Those men were hon- est in their statement*, but they sim- ply did not know. They thought they - knew, but they were mistaken. More- over, they claimed that dual chttle could not be bred. For tweaty-ftre years some of thosi men have been diligently propagating that 1104116111111, and the public funds have home the expense. vile folly of such teaching will be apparent front the following: In ling - land there is today as association for promoting the intermit* of this breed. This assoetatina has new, lib mem- bers. In 191,11 it published, the records of milk production freni females, of which quite a percentage were &offers w7 their 1tt laalliMS11 he. nod. The average et milk production from Giese 'was between 7,809 sad 8,000 pounds for the year. Some want higher than MOOG pounds. At KM- enscott, Lechlado, Gioucestersiiire,the owner, Robert Hobbs, hai kept milk- ing Shorthorns constantly Mace 111t3. The herd now numbers nearly MO cows in milk. Sines UM the average of all these, Whaling a large lot of heifers. In milk production has been considerably more than $.O pounds each year. The cow Dulari 7th, with a one-year milk record ending May 31, lin, gave 18,533 pounds, sad the coif Rose 87th 14,377 pounds. Mang other instances of similar production may be cited. Cows of this breed stand first in the milking trials of the shows more frequently than these of any other breed, including the milking breeds. While the production of milk is thus blowy sedetactorr, all the =alas not wasted for beet are grown into bul- locks. Thiy are reared on skim milk and adjuncts during the milli period. They are sold at the age of eighteen to thirty months. At tweaty-four months they usuelly average net leas than 1,104 pounds, and soli for 1100 to 1138 each. They are favorites with the butcher, as there is less 101111 in cutting up the carcass than with bul- locks reared en the dams. There is a larger proportion of lean and less un- desirable fat on the hand reared steers. It is a fact that fully OS per coat of the stalk used in Britain comes from pure sad grade Shorthorn* and nearly as high a percentage of the meat. Mr. Powell, the venerable secretary of the Shorthorn usoolation, told the writer that even many of the breeders of Scotch Shorthorns are sow milking *Mr herds.
