In the evolution and growth of American farming, the small farm has been coming forward as a new It is receiving recognition as a new unit of social and busi- ness life on the farm. The devel- opments of irrigation, more nota- bly than any other factor, has added to it the spread of the gos- pel of the small farm and inten- sive cultivation. In the irrigated sections new standards ore being, set in farm- ing methods and ie. country life. It is there that ea an American ideal, the family owned and family operated farm of moderate size will attain a high degree of per- fection; it is there that the farm homes are being provided with ell the comforts and many of the luxuliesof the present day civili- zation;It is there also, that rural home life will find its fullest and truest expression; hence, it is there that \Civilization will attain its fullest measure,\ using the words of ex -President Roosevelt. The course of the government in encouraging the small farm by creating farms of forty to eighty acres on the Huntley and other reclamation projects, is dictated by the wisdom of a fur seeing suttesmanshi p. Intensive cultivation, thorough application, careful, close and scientific farming are enjoined up- on the owners of these smell farms almost by necessity, and the re- 4tilot ale better farming. better social conditions, greater earning capacity per acre of farat-and per individual worker, shorter hours of labor, more time for social en- joynient, more time for travel, ample means for home adornment. for home conveniences and cone. forts. The small farm keeps boys and girls on the farm. Not nec- essarily .on the home farm, but, let us state it more broadly; the small farm keeps the boys and girls identified with country life, because the desire for good farm living has not been smothered under the grind of long work days and lack of social pleasures, which are tog frequently the prevailing conditions on a -large farm. Montana's agricultural prosperity will be based upon the small farm because the bulk of our agricul- ture 'will he carried on on small farms; that is, farms between forty and one hundred and sixty acres. More opportunities for success are open On the small firm than on the large. The Cost of as Idea. Nobody will ever be able to compute the cost of anyone of those idea;that have effected rev- olution in our affairs of life, any more than they ever be able to compute the valueto the world. Now there is this new science of the soil which is effecting revolu- tion in farm methods, not alone in the so-called semi -arid west but all over the world. I first beennie acquainted with Hardy W. Camp- bell. and somewhat associated with him, fifteen years ago. He was then old in the work. Ile had already spent ten of the best years of his life- seekieg the simple truths that might lead him And his fellow farmers into the light. I know., of his early struggles, his failures, his wasted energy, the experiments that didn't count. I know of his self denial and his die- couragetnents. The thought and the energy he mit into working out a great idea of value far more to others than it can ever be to him. would haVe made him rich if applied elsewhere. But he didn't • count the cost. He just went on and worked out the idea in his own way. worked it out on farms and in gardens and by dint of hard toil. Perhaps what he did will never behalf appreciated, but it forms the foundation for the greatest movement the world of agriculture has ever known. -Ora Williams, Des Moines, h. • Letter From Dawson County. Editor Sunlight: Little Sheep Mountains. Where are they I Well named from there size, as they are just good, rugged hills, and they are located about fifty or sixty miles north of Miles City, in Dawson county. To realize the greatness of this vast state one must ace_ the great, rolling hills and plateaus of this county. The large ranges are nearly all utilized by sheep men, not averaging more than one to a towship, 80 they have room un- stinted. Watering places. being very scarce, are about all located. Section after section . of the finest land in the west lies here ready for the dry farmer. The soil is from one to twenty feet in depth. Some of the land lies gently. slope but the greater partis rolling hills, some quite rough. The grasses it produces are ahead of any I have seen in the west. There could have been cut last season, and no doubt some was, gniss that would yield One ton to the acre. , Here is one of the finest chances in Montana for a small colony of rustlers to get the best land in the state. Of sown there must be some drawbacks. The water problem is going to be a difficult one.' What water there is is probably all located, but it is no good, anyway, and the man who collies and drives his well will get the best places; for the man who takes the first chance in order to get water very often gets the roughest and poorest land. There is bad land and gulches or coulees that are too deep to be of any use and will always be open for pasture. Next, the fuel is an- other important thing. There is no wood, e.xcept a few cotton -woods along some of the deep coul- ees, but there is tin abundanee of coal. It is not the best, but it will burn, if you are not in too much of a ru,h. It must be kept covered up, or it will 'slack, like . lime. The climate should compare very favorably with the rest of Montana. The altitude is some- thing less than three thousand feet. Grass is doing business the last week, and is four to six inches high. M. L. T. Precocious Medford, Mass., June 24. -Nor- bert Weiner, a senior in Tuft's college, this city, who is fourteen years old on June 15, will receive a diploma at the college com- mencement as a bachelor of arts. And not only will' he receive his degree of bechelor of arts, but he will be entered on ,the' rolls of Tuft' e as having completed a full four years' course in three years. Weiner is the most remarkable student on the roll nf any college or university. When he was eighteen months old he knew the English alphabet. At three years he could read and write. At five he studied Latin, at six he had mastered erithmetic, algebra, plane and solid geometry, at eight he read books in Latin. German, Aench and Russian readily. At nine he could reason problems in trigonometry and calculus and was given to perusing the weeks of the ancient philosophers, NIAGI IT. • Ready For the Fourth. Blow the fife and beat the drums!

Passing R cemetery one suggested that they go inside . and divide the walnuts equally. To this the other agreed and thereupon the two lads cl abed the wall, dropping two walnuts outside as they were doing so. Piling the walnuts in a heap, they proceeded to make a division.. While they were thus engaged a negro came along the road and hearing voices in the cometer.v stopped to listen, and this is what he heard: \Ah'll tnk' this, one.\ \Ah'll tak' that one.\ \Ah'il tak' this one,\ Mill tak' that one.\ Foh' do Lewd sake,\he exclaimed. \de debbil and do Lewd , s de- vidin'.up de folks,\ an' taking to his . heels he fled dimn . the read.
