THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1911 Montana Needs A,,dvertising The famous alfalfa ranch of Dr.W. X. Sudduth of Broadview is the sub- ject of a lengthy writeup in last week's issue of the Saturday Evening Post, by Forrest Crissey. The writer says that - it is undoubtedly one of the most re- markable and scientific undertakings to be found in the world. In the same issue of the Post, under the heading \Who's Who and Why,\ Samuel G. Blythe gives an interesting humorous sketch of our junior senator, Henry L. Myers, telling how he re- ceived the news of his election .laa winter at the drugstore in his home town of Hamilton. Mr. Blythe, who is said to be one of tbe highest salaried newspaper men in the country, has been spening con- siderable time in Montana the past summer and has become so impressed with the beautiful climate and scenery, combined with its wonderful agricul- tural prospects that he has purchased a line farm in the:gamous Bitter Root valley and has announced his intention of making this his legal residence. At the state fair last week where he was one of the principal speakers, after telling the people what a wonderful state we have and what undeveloped resources are here Mr. Blythe struck the keynote when he said that the state should be more thoroughly advertised in order to bring more people and more money into ihe state to work the mines cultivate the land and build large cities. It is gratifling to note the prominence which the Saturday; Evening Post is giving to articles re- lating to Montana and the big recla- mation projects of the West, and it is safe to say that these articles alone will exert an immeasurable amount of good in the way of advertising the state among millions of high-class readers. Fine Crop of Spuds In responce to the request for yields o' grain and produce made last week iu the Times. Mr. George Meredith eto lives on Upper Otter Creek; tells us that from 90 pounds of seed planted 01 a small patch of ground along Cie creek he dug 56 sacks, or about 112 bushels, the variety being Early Rose. Mr. Meredith states that the potatoes did not average so many to tie hill but that they grew extra large, many weighing two or three pounds apiece. LVhile this seems an extraordinaiy yield, it does not appear altogether unusual ?n that locality. One of our correspondents in that neighborhoori writes: \Mr. John Prevost has started digging his potatoes and has taken out 250 sacks off of three-fourths of an acre and has a day's digging yet. How is that for Otter Creek?\ If the remaining patches turn out as well as those reported on, the price of \spuds\ hadn't ought to worry anyone in Geyser this winter. MUST GET ON THE LAND After January 1st Homesteadert - Must Establish Residence on the Land Without Delay An order calling for obedience of the land laws to the strictest letter, issued by Acting Secretary of the Interiiai Samuel Adams to all Montana land offices, has been received in Great Falls, and as a result in the future any- one taking up land will have to take up residence on it at once, instead of waiting for the customary six months to pass. The new order will not go into effect until January 1, 1912, on account of the custom that has -pre- vailed %%idiom authority for so long. says the Great Falls Leader. In the past it has not been necessary 10 commence residence on a !mine - stead until six months after the entry had been made. In the future the entry u ill not be dated as going into effect until it has been proven to the land office officials that the entry man has actually started to prove up ac- cording to law.

The United States department of ag- riculture announces that etuce July I, 1910. twenty-three lots of clover seed of probable Chilean origin aggregat- ing 370.000 pounds have been imported into the United States. In all of these Shipments two kinds of dodder seed characteristic of Chilean red clover seed tire present. At a normal rate of seeding these shipments are sufficient to seed approximately 46.000 acres. and at this rate of seeding au average of approximately 450 dodder seeds would be sown on each square rod. The sowing of this Chilean seed means that the clover crop on a con- siderable proportion of the area on which it is seeded will be destroyed by dodder, and farmers should be on their guard against purchashig this seed. Unfortunately most of these importa- tions have gone into the southern part of the clover producing region where this dodder will undoubtedly prove dis- astrous. This Chilean clover seed Is itself especially fine looking seed, be- ing dark colored and approximately 50 per cent larger in size than ordinary red clover seed produced in the. Unit- ed States. It will therefore doubtless receive a ready sale on account of its fine appearance. TO HANG A DOUBLE GATE. Directions For Making So It Will Swing True and Latch Properly. There are many farmers who prefer to use a double gate, and yet there are comparatively few who are suc- cessful in hanging these double Wet so that they swing true or latch pro- perly, says the Kansas Farmer. The draping herewith indicates a method by which this may be accomplished with very little trouble and absolutely accurate results. Build the gate all in one structure and nail the crosspieces 14 Place In the middle. Prop the gate into posi- tion between the two posts and at- tach the hinges to both ends. Be sure that the hinges are large enough and strong enough to support the gate when In use. It is better to have them too large than too small. After the gate has been attached to the hinges at both ends saw it in two, as shown in the drawing, and the work is done. It may be desirable to place the middle crosspieces which will .he the ends of the half gates a little distance DOUBLE FARM GATE. _ (Prom Kansas Farmer.] apart and saw out the boards betwees in order that they may not bind in case of wet weather. This will simply require two strivings instead of one. If diagonals are necessary they may be attached either before or after the gate is sawed, but they should always ti o be put ,on in the manner shown in the lower drawing. Have the upper end of e diagonal attached near the upper hinge, as this is the only way It can be put on to absolutely prevent sagging. If the diagonal is reversed and the upper end placed at the other end of the gate it encourages sagging by its faulty construction as well as by its added weight. A neat farm gate of whatever type adds materially to the appearance and value of the farm home. *IK)..t4044-340.4.04`01-3444441:4 To be obliged to make a poor farm pay is good training, for when you get • better one you know the trick.

It never pays to keep old wornout animals except as a matter of senti- ment. It is well to cull very closely In cattle, swine and poultry. There is nothing like milk for mak- ing hogs out of pigs. It Is their natural feed, and when used with n grain ra- tion will develop pork more rapidly than any other feed. It pays to keep cows Just, for the pigs. Do not feed pigs too much corn while they are young. Corn is a fat producing food and does not acceler- ate growth. Feed shoats tankage, shorts and bran in sufficient quantity to Cause rapid growth. The Wyoming experiment station, after repeated trials, concludes that corn and the bearded or Scotch barley when fed with alfalfa were about equal In value for mutton production. Barley in this test proved to be h *bade the better. Twenty-seven per lent less alfalfa and 28 per cent less grain were required where barley re- placed either in Is ration. . THE WINNING OF NELLIE By M. QUAD -- copyri g ht, 1911, by Associated lit- erary Press. Jacob Drift was a fanner, a dairy man and it cattle raiser, and he was worth $40,000. He kW eight or ten men the year round. and he was a good man to work fen His family consisted, of only wife and daughter, the latter being named Nellie. Jacob Drift was riot a boaster in a general way. There was only one par- ticular thing he boasted of, and that was that he had never been taken in and done for by a sharper. lie had no sympathy for a man who had. Not that he was Always bound to get the best of a bargain, but that he wanted to protect himself. When Nellie Britt was nineteen years old along came a college chap seeking employment for the summer. He was so superior to the average farm hand that he was taken Into the house to lodge. The father and mother saw the college chap and their daughter falling In love and for a time had little to say. The day came. howeeer. when Jacob said: \Look here, Mary, that young man Is going to ask us for Nellie pretty soon.\ \Yes. I think so.\ Two weeks later the young man ap. preached the father In the usual way and put the question in the usual way and stanitiiered and blushed in the usual way, and the answer was: *1'm not saying yes or no just now. watt a wssit.\ The next day but one Mr. Williams was told to take a certniu horse to town and effect a trade. What was wanted was a heavier horse for the farm work. The animal he took was perfectly sound in wind and limb, though nothing was said about that. He was simply cautioned as to the weight and strength of the other. \Is it a test?\ asked the wife of her husband wizen the young man had gone his way. \Aye. Mary. I'm no horse trader, but I do coutend that the man who gets the worst in a horse trade will get the worst in everything else. Williams gets or loses Nellie on this.\ \But he has never traded horses be- fore. and lie isn't used to the way that men lie anti deceive.\ \But it's his native wit and keen- ness I'm testing. I'm looking for him to get cheated a little, but not too much.\ Flee flours later Williams came back on the horse he had traded for. His look told of exultation. Jacob Briff received the end of the halter from him and began a thorough lookover. At the end of twenty minutes he said: \There are wind galls, there are swifts. there Is it quarter crack, the horse is blind in Om left eye, and he has a touch of the heaves.\ \Yes but the other had botts. poll evil and was going blind In both eyes. He was hip locked to boot.\ \Who told you so?\ \Why the Mow I traded with.\ ' \Humph! Sound as a bell. Mr. Williams. you can't have Nellie.\ \Because I've been cheated in a horse trade?\ \Aye it was a tree. You haven't got the sharpness to hold your own. You'll have to go.\ \But. Mr. Briff. you have been cheat- ed!\ was protested. \Tell tne when.\ \Then you will be. No man is so sharp that he can't be taken in.\ \Eh? Eh? Well, you wait till it happens and then come back for Nel- lie, providing she isi ready to •i-alt a hundred years. Aye, and you shall Piave half of what I'm worth to boot. We'll talk no more now. Have one of the men take this wreck out and shoot it. I'm $250 otit of pocket.\ Mrs. Briff shed tears when she heard the ultimatum. Miss Nellie was go- ing to, but she didn't. After a talk with her lover rite even smiled. Six weeksipassed away, and then a stranger came. He expreesed Ills con- viction that there was a box of silver buried on the farm. It was the only thing in the world that would have excited the farmer Treasure—and on his farm! ,How much? \At least $600,\ replied the stranger —\perhaps n thousand.\ What share would Mr. Britt give him for locating It? They haggled ovePthis for a n -hole day. Then, at the solemn hour of midnight. with a divining rod to lo- cate the exact spot, the treasure was unearthed and carried to the barn. It was in a box which was old and moldy. There was $600 lu silver half dollars, and the coins were wrapped In brown paper—$S0 in a roll. Jacob Britt' had made a clean WO In one night, and time stranger was sat- isfied with his end of the business. He had Mr. Briff's $200 in greenbacks. A week 'passed away, and Jacob Briff WEIR arrested for passing coun- terfeit money. Not a -coin of that treasure was genuine. And then along came Mr. Williams, and In a moat Jo vial way be announced that Ire was after a wife and half the farm. \Did you do it?\ asked the farmer. \I did. .1 borrowed the counterfelte from the officers who had seized them and then hired the stranger to ;.lay his part.\ \But I thought you had no wit.\ \Well. haven't I won Nellie?' \Aye you have, and now. as you are to be my son -p -law, you insist get me out of this scrape. No decent young man would want to have his father-in-law in Jail when the wed- ding cake was eaten.\ Sale of School Bonds IiItit'ice is hereby given that the Board of Trustees of School District No. 30, of Cas- c.sde County, Montana, on the 16th day of October, 1911, at the hour of 2 o'clock p. iii. of raid day, at the office of John Ker- mighati ill the Village of Geyser, Montana, will receive proposals arm sell school bonds ef said district Nu. 30, to the amount of Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00), as oted at the election held on the 26th dry of Au- gust, 1911.
