In Montana the heavy snows and Swat That Fly There is no better time than right now for the people of this :section to onen the \swat -the. !fly\ campaign and the followitit sitem should be cut out and made I use of. Formaldehyde and sodium sali- cylate are the two best fly poi- sons. Both are superior to ar- senic. They have their advan- tages for household use. They are not a poison to children, they are convienent to handle, their dilutions are simple and they at- tract the /lies. A formaldehyde solution of approximately the correct strength may be made by adding 3 teaspoonfuls of the con- centrated formaldehyde solution, commercially known as formalin, to a pint of water. Similarly, the proper concentration of so- dium salicylite may , be obtained by dissolving 3 teaspoonfuls of the pure chemical (a powder) to a pint of water. Take the solution and put it in a glass.

The farming game in some sec- tions,' especially the communi- ties from 30 to 75 miles from a A nice line of railroad, is a tough proposition Holt's. day is not far distant when we will have a railroad and when the transportation problem wil! and should receive the serious consideration of those who are looking after the government's food surely, inasmuch as we be- tl at by - their cooperation conditions could be retnedied. In this section, the farmers find themselves handicapped in thn amount tf acreage they may cul tivate and successfully farm, by reason of the inadequate trans- portation facilities. If WO had a railroad in the cenlral and the southern sections of this county, fully ten times as much land would be cultivated and be - ducing crops as at present. 1Vitli all the available finances that the railroads have at their command at this time it seems that the government should urge and en- courage these companies to ex- tend branch lines into the farm- ing sections of this state, that given that they can be hauled to market reasonably. lillinerv A few registered Hereford bulls, coming two year olds. -- Paul McLean, Ekalaka. • Remember, It is your duty tol report all nelsons who utterances suggest . that they are not in harmony with the I'resident's war policy, especially those who show strong German sympathy.
