WATERLOO, Feb. 4.—There have been many changes in otir vicinity since we were lastheard from in newspaper correspondence. Building im- provements, transfers in land and ranches, and™~>prosperity _ has smiled on us im gencral, Within the last three months three ranches have been sold, and in the six months previous, two others were sold, making a total of five ranches ggid inJess than a year, and in the past two years a total of nine ranches have been transferred. This in itself are having a boomin real estate, and also shows that people who are look- Ing for good investments, and an ideal country home, know a good thing when they see it. About two years ago George Stolebarger started the ball rolling by purchasing the home ranch of T. D. Townsend. Very shortly after, Isaac Bechtel, a prominent hotel man of Butte, bought the ranch adjoining it of. James Brook, and is making it one of the first-class ranches in Madison county. A few months later Richard Wing of the same city saw a bargain in the ranch, of Emily Foster, and took it up asa perma- nent home for his family while he holds down.a lucrative position as stationary engineer, occasion- ally coming out to rest his weary bones and to enjoy the wealth of Waterloo’s genial climate. Following this purchase, - Mr. Townsend bought the Anderson ranch of the Crisman hiers and has since made his.residence there. Next the Nelson ranch was sold to Holland Bros., of the Smoky City, miners by occupation. Av J. Davis then squared up his ranch by securing the Joc Brook ranch, and now has one of the most extensive, beautiful and valuable ranch properties in this section of the state, A few weeks ago a whir was started ovéF the ranch of George Stolebarger, who had been offer- ing it for sale for some time. When a buyer from Butte ap- peared on the scene, then there came bidders and buyers from all direetions who had been keép- ing their eye on it, and cach was benton getting it; but Harvey -|England. tied the deal and stie- ceeded in getting one of the very best ranches, at a real bargain; in our valley. Twoof the bidders, Messrs.. Rooter and Hutchinson, of Butte, have consoled them- selves by purchasing the Wick- ham and Bob Horton ranches. Geo. Wickham is one of our oldest old-timers, having settled on his ranch 36 years ago, and has lived there ever since. He enjoys the distinction of having planted the not the first in Montana. He has since been a successful grower of all kinds of fruit. California will be his future home. =o Bob Horton. will engage in mining, and we hope he strikes it rich. At the present rate we will soon have a new population entirely, in Waterloo, During the last year we have had one neW settler on Govern- ment land, Austin B. Gates, form- erly of Wisdom. The popular thing with us for some time has been the mumps. George Stolebarger has moved his family to Twin Bridges, and George is still moving. Rather hard to leave Waterloo, but he will eventually get weaned and | will work at his trade at the above place. J. E. Stolebarger leaves for southern Kansas soon where he to hear that he improves in health and prospers in his new field. John Rodgers and Frank Hutch- yesterday for Iowa witha car of ‘Thorses. On his return John will move his family to Iowa. _ Messrs. Bechtel, Van Orsdale and Seidle Bros. shipped a car of spuds to Butte last week. Ida- Trefry, of Bighteen-mile first apple tree in old Madison, if}, will engage in farming. ‘We hope | inson; our new neighbors, left, House, spent a week visiting Lila Bechtel. John’ W. Eddy, of » Helena, députy grand master workin of the A. O. U. W. gave a very fine talk in the intérest of that order last Tuesday evening to a good audience. His speech was interspersed with songs, recita- tions and witticisms. It was a rare intertainment and of much benefit to our members. ‘ Twenty-six. new adjustable desks, with some other accessories, were installed in the new scl house last. Saturday; and alsa}; the new 24-inch bell was pit in place. The mahy friends of M. T. Carney will r@joice toJearn that he i recovering from an attack of pneumonia.

A social dance was given at the hall Friday evening anda pleas- ant timé was had, although a little tangle foot caused some alterca- tion. Frank Beall: has been confined tohis bed a week with a relapse of the mumps. Dr. Packard of Whitehall was called in attend- ance last Saturday and tunder~his skillfnl care he is improving. John Carney, Sr., spent several days in Butte last week at.the bed- side of his son, M. T. Carney. Mrs. J. D. Zink, of Whitehall, attended the dance Friday evening. G. J. Wickham returned from Butte Saturday, where_he went to close the deal for his ranch. A. J. Davis and James .Gordon each bought a fine Herford bull from J. B. Welleome, recently. W. J. Van Orsdale and Mrs. Heldt are having their new as recorded. The family of Thomas Rit moved out from Butée, last Satur- day, where the boys heave been attending school but returned on account of sickness., Mrs. Heldt recently sold her in- terest inthe ““German” ditch to Herman Steinsifer. C. W. Winslow sold -half a car of horses to Rodgers & Hutchin- son last week at $15 per head. Jake Gessler had a narrow escape ‘a few days ago.- While hauling timber he was thrown from the wagon and dragged some distance by the lines and when he became disentangled the wheel passed over his neck and jaw and badly lacerated them, but he is out again. Amelia Henrich is staying -a month at Pagev ilfe, and John is very lonely. < Seidle Bros. received a, geared aérmotor last week,” purchased from the agent, Ed: Beall. George Birchard, Wm. Sperry and Roy Cornforth of Silver Star, were in Waterloo last week. Alfred Hunt is thinking of buy- ing a ranch. ~ Mary Heldt has been visiting in Butte several days. Several of our people attended the lecture of J. W. Eddy at South Boulder and speak in glowing terms and witha moist tongue of the banquet given by Degree of Honor of Mayflower lodge. Will Gordon has joined a secret detective and: Sheriff's association. SUMMIT VALLEY. The zephyrs blew gently ‘in Summit Valley Tuesday night. The Latter Day Saints have been holding meetings in the South Boulder schoolhouse the past week* The wife of James Wetzel has been very sick the last week, but is reported better. The farmers are beginning to get their irtiplements ready for spring work; indeed we have seen a few teams in the field. Rev. B. L. Kline passed through the valley Tuesday on his way to Pony, it is reported that he intends holding a meeting there. Geo. Franks has had a four horse team on the road delivering potatoes to White J.

Jennie Filcher, county Superin- tendent, recently apportioned the \school money from the céunty treasury to the several Afetricts of the county, as follows: NUMBER 4.- HINTS FOR “FARMERS : Nitragin anv Ite Ube, Nitragin is a special culture contath: ing bacteria for use in connection with plants belonging to the clover famlly, “As the Yeast cake Contalus the getms of the yeast plant, the growth of which causes the bread to rise, so nitragin feontains the germs of the bacteria or the bacteria themselves which are found tn the nodules on the roots of plants of thé clover family and which give to these plants the ability to make use of atmospheric nitrogen, Nitragin might be called, then, the farmer's yeast cake. ’ , ‘The bacteria found Jn the nodules on the roots of different plants of the clo- ver family are supposed to be for the most.part.of diatinct species for each, and thus théré-are many different kinds of uitragin, such as clover aitra- gin, soy bean nitfagin, Vetch nitragin, cowpea nitragin, ete, Nitragin lq pro- duced, so far as I am aware, only in Germany. Soveral yoars ago the Bowker Fer- tillizer company procured a stock and rwold or gave away a nuniber of pack- ages of it. With what success it was used I do not know. In our experi- ‘ments we have found it of use only tu the case of plants new to the locality. It appears to be true that the appro- priate bacteria are almost everywhere abundant in different localities for all plants which bave long been grown in said localities,—Willinm I’. Lrooks in Awerican Agriculturist. Working Cows, In some parts of Burope they mane a practice of: working cows In the yoke as we do or used to do oxen, excepting that possibly, as they want milk, they are careful to feed well and not overwork. This led to a series of experiments at Stockholm, Sweden, tn testing the milk of cows #0 treated, and they found that the milk was reduced in quantity by the cxercise, but Its quality was se much richer In butter fat that the working cows actually produced more butter than cows equally good that had no other exercise than they found in gathering their food in the pastures. This opens up a new porsibility. If horses and wules are to be so scarce and high priced that. farmers are un- able ‘to purchase them to repince the stock they now bare when it is worn out, will those who keep cows for but- ter making or who sell their milk upon the test of butter fat begin to work their cows In the yoke to save expense of keeping oxen? While one test may not be conclusive, the question may be wectay, of lecerueniee here.— Amert- Rape as a feeend Crop. We have frequently tried sowing rape after removing fall wheat, early oats and barley and bave met witb PLEASANT VALLEY The Christian Aid of Feb. 27 was well attended. Mrs. Well- come, one of our prominent resi- dents, wasa welcome visitor and invited them to make her home their next place of meeting, two weeks from that date.

Farmers and State Colleges. The farmers of Pennsylvania de an agricultural institution, Commit- tees representing sixteen ngricultural societics and associations met at Har- risburg and took vigorous action to secure av appropriation from the leg- islature that at least a dairy school, up to date in every particular, be os tablished. The biiidings and equip- ment for agricultdral development at Pennsylvania's state college are decid- ediy iuadequate.. ‘The way to niake them of superior advantage is for farmers to demand that this be done, A start has been made, so all should pitch in and help, SS Getting Rid ef Stamps. There are a great many popular be- Nefs that stumps treated with chen- icals can be made to rot rapidiy. Asa matter of fact, however, what we know of such theories leads us to be Neve that there is nothing in them. Chemicals powerful enengb te cause any considerable destruction of the wood are entirely too expensive for or- dinary use. ‘The most expeditious method we know of for getting rid of stumps is either by digging them up or pulling them out with some form of stump pulling machine or blowing them qut with powder. The latter is a method quite generally employed.— Farm and Home. = King Cotton. In the cotton crop. of 1899 to 1900 North Carolina produced 561,000 bales, of which no less than 435.000 were consumed withiti the borders of the state.

Rowing affairs at Yale will be andct different management thit yea fYor what has usually been the custom. John Kennedy, the well known old professiona! sculler, will have charge of the crew and conduct the coaching. The amount of rowing done indoors will be decidedly less than formerly, and the entire system of training will be changed in a good niany little de talis. This does not mean that Yale ins tends to change her stroke. The stroké of the past three seasons will remain unchanged, but the method of arriving at this stroke will be changed bovelkh erably. After the Tarvaru race tastJune the biue’s coaches decided that Yale “IA order to keep up with Harvard mut improve her system of boating. Wi'h this object In view Kennedy was sent to England to visit Oxford and Con‘ bridge. Kennedy has retufned and has been busy at work conching all thosé candidates for the crew who were not engaged ip some other branch of sport. Kennedy in outlining his ideas about college rowing said: “1 am conyincey that there is very little difference be- tween the American and English col- lege strokes. As a matter of fact, they are practically the sarie. I still te Neve in the American system of. rig- ging and am conyinced flat it Is fat superior to the English system, I learti- ed a grent deal while | was over there which f think Wilf be of use here at Yale.” ‘The question of a head conch fot the Yale crew for the coming year is still undecided. The sentiment is unan mously ip favor of F. W. Allen, thé last year’s Head codch, but be does hbt have the time necessary for the work. Ex-Captain Blagden of Inst year's crew is also unable to give up his tine to the crew this year. This removes the two most desirable men from ¢oil sideration for this position. Fournier Is Back.
