TIE TOSS OF A COIN. I., Norris Decided to Become a Cilizei of Montan. A recent number of the Nation- al Monthly tells the following story of how Governor Norris de- cided between Texas and Montana in which to make his home: \A Kentucky boy who had be- come a Texas school teacher and who was ambitious, flipped a coin one day to see whether he should remain in Texas or more to Mon- tana. \He wanted to flip a silver dol- lar, but when he 'took stock' of the coin in his jeans, a half dollar was the biggest coin he could find. \He called 'Heads, Montana; tails, Texas.' It came heads and the young man moved -to Montana. \Today he is the governor of that state -the Honorable Edwin Lee Norris. a democrat and one of the west's most interesting and able men. In the National Mon- thly's series of 'Derifocretic Gov- ernors', we will present Governor Norris of Montana in the Septem- ber number, , School of Agriculture We have received numerous letters asking for further parti- culars regarding the school of agriculture course that is to be- gin at the Montana Agriculture College October 19th. Judging from the correspondence, this course is just about the thing that a great many young men in the state have been looking for. To begin with, we might say that all of the work will be just as practi- cal as possible. This will cover all qmsettens pertainieg to stock - judging, breeding, feeding and management, SS well as all points regarding dry and irrigated farm- ing. grain breeding, seed select- ion, etc. Farm dairying will take up the handling of dairy stock, the milking machine, furm butter and cheese, hand separator, test- ing, etc. The horticulture will take up the various problems per- taining to Montana's orchard con- ditions. In addition a course in farm blaeksmithing and carpentry work will be included. Such things as painting and drawing out plow lays, sharpening drag teeth, making devices, etc., together with cutting rafters, making gates, and any other general farm work. It must not be forgotten that along with this practical work, will be given it thorough course in English and business methods. It will be the intention to have, besides the regular course, now - thing each week of special interest to farm boys. For instance. Mr. I. 'wham, president,. pf the A. B. Clark Horse Sales Co.. of Miles City. a man who has possi- bly broken and handled more horses than any other man in Montana will give a lecture to the students on Montana's Horse Industry. He will *leo give an exhibition of the proper method of breaking and handling horses and colts. Another practical de- monstration will be given in hand- ling steam engines, such as are used on many Urine. The differ- ent experts representing the differ- ent gasoline engine firms will take their engines to pieces be- fore the class and will thus give the students proper instructions in the handling and caring for such engines. Practical butcher- ing, meat cutting and packing demonstrations will be given. There will be practical horse shoeing by a practical blacksmith. As we have already said. the whole course is designed to be of the greatest possible good to the young men who take it. The ed- ucation offered is practically free to every boy and young man in the state. All it will cost him, in addition to his board end room, will be $15.00. This is to cover such things as iron, wood, 'chemi- cals, etc., that are actually used in the laboratories. On account of lack of room, only one hundred new students can be accomodated in this course. Already over fifty young men have registered, so that it will be necessary for those who desire a place in the big class of \One Hundred\ to register very promptly. W. J.

Legal technicalities seldom help the people. We must think clearly and directly about our rroblems. The easiest way to hide a real issue is to replace it with a false one. The first thing we need is equality of opportunity for evecy cit;zen. The farmer who owns his land is still the backbone of this nation. We are aiming to see that the plain American citizen is the man to work for. Permanent homes for ourselves, our children and our nation -this is the (-entre! problem. National irretration multiplies the men who own the land from which they make their living. Wise execution of the law must consider what the law ought to accomplish for the general good. The great oppressive trusts exist because of Subservient law- makers and adroit legal construct- ions. When our independence was won and when our union was pre- served we were preeminently a nation of farmers. What we need is the use of the law for the public welfare, and the construction of it for the pub- lic welfare. Rigid construction of the law in the vast majority of cio•es %lurks for the benefit of the nien who can hire the best lawyers. - There could be no better illustra- tion of the eager, rapid, unwearied absorption by capital of the rights which belong to all the people than the water power trust, not yet formed but in rapid process of formation.- Spokesman Re- view. SAVE TIE WATER. Irrigatioa Farmers Waste Fifty Mil- ks Dollars a Year. [CAMPBELL ' S SCIENTIFIC FARMER.] The principles of scientific soil culture are of vast importance to the irrigation farmer. At one of the irrigation congresses a speaker who was well informed stated that water to the value of fifty million dollars is wasted annually because irrigationists do not understand how to make the most of the water they have. There is the field for scientific soil culture. The essen- tial thing is to have the soil hold just the right amount of air and moisture for the development of fertility and for the encouragement of plant growth. The irrigation farmer has water in abundance, at least sonietinies, and he is too prone to use more inter than is good for the soil. Then when he has used abundance of water he is likely to let it get away from him needlessly. The principles we have been urging ifpon all farmers for a long time deal directly with this question. We have no doubt whatever that if the principles of scientific soil culture were well un- derstood and intelligently applied by the irrigation farmers more than half, at least, of that fifty million wastage of water would be saved And saving a little matter of twenty-five million dollars' worth of water each year is worth This year's Wheat crop in the Judith basin is estimated at 4,000,- 000 bushels. Heretofore the basin crop ints not exceeded 1500,000 bushels in any one year. Growing a Fertilizer Crop A great ninny farmers have the idea that there is great virture in a so-called green manure crop, that is, a crop of some rank grow- ing plant which is turned under in the green state solely for the put - pose of fertilizing the field. The growing of a green crop for the purpose mentioned in the semi- arid section of the country is wrong, especially on the soil of the average prairie. The water utilized by the growing plant is much more valtleble conserved in the soil than nny possible increase in fertility or humus from the green vegetation turned tinder. The advantage is not only found in the direct use of the water for growing of the anticipated crop but in the increased available fer- tility obtained through chemical action, promoted in the soil diir- ing the hotter part of the season that would not take place when the moisture is reduced by the growing plant. Plowing under dry straw unless very thinly and evenly scattered is dangerous. However, if evenly spread and disked into the top soil and then plowedliniteewith soil eonisavhat moist followed by the subsurface packer, it is always an advantage. We are firm believers in putting into the soil all the manures or vegetable matter poneible but care must be taken to keep the under portion firm. Female Hoboes, Three Butte girls, sisters, left their horns last Sunday a la hobo and traveled to Dillon ill a box cer. Butte officers were notified, and on Monday, while preparing to cook a mulligan, tbe girls and a young man who was in their company were arrested and taken back to Butte. Ill treatment at home was complained of by the girls and denied by their parents. Electrocuted in Bath B. K. Whitney. one of the most I prominent contractors and build- ers in Butte or the state, was found dead in a bath tub Tuesday. In his left hand was clutched the cord of a 32 -candle -power electric light. The light was out but the current was still turned on and marks on the body indicated that the man had ben electrocuted. Montana's Wool Clip. W. R. Sheldon. who has visited every wool center in Montana. es- timates the state's wool clip for this year at 40,000,000 pounds, for which the average price paid is twenty cents per pound. Waited to Clow. Every one is acquainted with the person who asks obvious hues - Cone -the sort of man who stops you in the middle of a headlong rush and asks you if you are in a hurry. One of these pests during a walk abroad paused in astonish- ment outside a friend's house. Be- fore it stood three huge moving vans; the lawn was almost covered with articles of furniture of vari- ous sorts -pictures, wardrobes and china. And there was his old friend B—, begrimed, weary and ill-tempered, directing opera- tions in his shirtsleeves. \What B ,\ he exclaimed. \are you movingf\ \Not at all -not at all!\ snapped B- , with elaborate sarcasm. \I'm taking my furniture out for a ride.\ Coin minted froni the tears of widows and orphans will never pur- chase n ticket to happiness. - For- .3-th Tom-, RIGGS REAL ESTATE BULLETIN.
