Dana Durand, has issued an outline prepared by Prof. Le Grand Powers, United States census chief statistician for agri- culture for the American farm- er of the methods of keeping a record of their farm operations 1 to insure an accurate farm cen- l sus next year. The outline is as follows: The advantages of always hav- ing on hand for ready reference a detailed written statement of one's farm property are readily understood by everyone, and will be most keenly appreciated when the census enumerator calls with his list of questions next April. The value of the census figures of farm wealth depends upon their accuracy, and accuracy can only be secured through the co- operation of the farmers them- selves. In no way can the farm- er extend more practical assist- ance to the census bureau, and in no way can he render himself a greater service than by getting Out his pencil and note book on the evening of April 14th next, and making up a statement of his farm proper*y. The questions to be asked Concerning - farm property are as follows: 1 —Total value of farm, with all buildings and improvements. 2—Value of buildings. 3—Value of all improvements Result of Sale The sale of dead Indian allot- ments at the Crow Agency on the 22nd of November called forth a large number of bids. Several tracts each received a number of bids, showing the land is in demand and is considered a good investment by those who kn)w the c3untry The following is the descrip- tian of the allotrn?nts near Har- din receiving bids, the amount of then in Custer county with Miles the highest bid and by whom Cit_ as the county seat, but later made: when Billings was platted and S1-2 ne1-4; n1-2 se1-4, sec- Yellowstone county formed, a tion 27, twp 1 s., range 33 e., school was established in this $3,000 by G.

Bowman submitted the highest hid on seven seperate tracts. Early School Days J, D. O'Donnell one of Billings oldest residents delivered an ad- dress before one of the rural schools near Billings on Nov. 5, which was \Pioneer Day\ and contained some interesting facts regarding early school life in Yellowstone county. The follow- ing is the address in part: \This first observance of Pioneer day throughout the schools of the county brings to mind the first school that was ever held in what is now Yellow - tone county and affords a ready comparison of conditions as they exist now and as they existed 30 years ago, for it was exactly 30 years ago this fall that public in- struction in Yellowstone county began. \The first school opened in this section of the county began its session in the fall of 1879 and was known as the Newman school, being situated a little south of this city and near the place by the south bridge. I think that the school house, which was a long cabin and very crude in its interior finish. stood on the exact spot where the Newman school, a modern frame building now stands. Mrs. Sam , Garvin, now a resident of this city, but whose name was then Miss Priscilla Ash, was the first teach- er, and her experience in start- ing the first school in Yellow- stone county were many and varied. The Ash family came here from Wyoming, driving an I - ox team, and still live here. \This section of the valley was was the first school house in Bil- lings. It was built in 1882 and was then by far the finest school dent of Oberlin, Ohio, was the county superintendent of schools. - More Land Withdrawn Washington, Nov. 23. —The in- terior department has withdrawn from disposition, as containing water power possibilities, about 9,704 acres of land along the Smith river, _Montana. This tract will be held pending action by congress, 'which is expected to enact legislation governing the disposal of power sites on the public domain. A portion of the lands withdrawn are unsurveyed. Garrison-Berry Mrs. Daisy Berry and Mr. Charles Garrison were united in matrimony in Billings on Wed- nesday of this week. Mrs. Gar rison is a sister of Mrs. Van - meter with whom she has lived for the past two years. Mr. Garrison is one of Foster's pro- gressive ranchers. The contract- ing parties have a hOst of friends in their vicinity whom the Tribune join in wishing them a happy and prosperous life. -- - It is estimated that this years crops in Deer Lodge Valley will be about 150,000 bushels of oats. Two steers that were bred on a ranch near Livingston was sold recently in Chicago, and each sold for $136.15. The veterinarians of the north- western states will meet in Hele- na Dec. 8, to discuss eradication of contogious diseases prevalent 'among horses on Indian reserva- tions. I B. C. Lillis county surveyor. is on the old 79 ranch making a survey for a new town. The name of the new town has not yet been agreed upon. It already has a general store, a lumber yard and several other business houses. !etc., and all appliance and ap- paratus used in farming opera- tions. 4 --Number and value of do- mestic animals classified. 5—Number and value of 'all poultry over three months old. 6—Number and value of swarms of bees. The census will not ask the value of household goods, nor that of hay, grain, or other farm crops on hand on April 15. These items should be included, how- ever by all desiring a complete inventory of their farm property. The value given to the farm should be, as nearly as can be judged, the amount that would be obtained for it if offered for sale under normal conditions. Current market price should be carefully considered in estimating the value of live stock. Although the census merely requires a statement of total val- ue of all implements and machin- ery, it is believed that a classifi- cations of these items under the following four heads will be found valuable: Vehicles, heavy farm implements, hand machin- ery, and tools and miscellaneous articles No special blanks or forms are necessary for preparing an in- ventory. An ordinary note book answers all purposes, but it • should be large enough to admit of carrying the figure for at least five years in parallel columns. This facilitates comparison of the figures for different years. Some may find it more convenient or desirable to take stock on Janu- ary 1 than on April 15 It will be a simple matter to bringsu ' ch an inventory up to date when the census enumorator cabs, as it will only be necessary to take in- to account the changes that hate taken place during the 1,rief in- tervening period. As in the case of farm inven- tory, no special blanks are re- quired for the record of farm products of 1909. An ordinary note book with leaves at least six inches wide will be found con- venient. The following informa- tion will be called for: 1 Farm expenses in 1909. A—Amount spent in cash for labor (exclusive of house work). B --Estimated value of house rent and board furnished farm laborers hiaddition to cash wages paid. C --.Amount spent for hay, grain turd other produce (not raised on I the farm) for feed of domestic animals and poultry. D—Amount spent for manure and other fertilizers. No inquiry is made regarding household or personal expenses, or expenditures for repairs or improvements. Each of the four questions asked is of fundamental importance in it bearing on agri- culture as an industry. 2—Livestock. 3—Dairy products. 4—Poultry and eggs. 5—Wcool and mohair. 6--erops. For each crop har- vested on the'farm in 1909 -give Ithe purnber of acres, the quanti- ty produced, the value of the products. The number of acres of each crop to be planted for harvest in 1910 will also be called for by the enumerator. This cannot be determined much be- fore the date of the enumeration. Instead of giving the number of acres in orchards and vineyards give as nearly as possible the number of trees and vines of bearing age. The quantity of certain fruit products, as cider, vinegar, wine and dried fruits produced in 1909 will be required as will also the quantity and specialized in many of its branch- es that any schedule designed to secure a fairly complete exhibit of its resources and Or erations must necessarily contain a large number of inquiries. The aver- age farm operator will not be called upon to answer one -seventh of the printed question, hence the somewhat formidable appear- ance of the schedule should oc- casion no alarm. More than four months re- mains in which to review the re- sults of the year 1909, and pre- pare for the visit of the enumer- ator. But preparation of a written record should be com- menced at once. No one should attempt to complete it in one evening but the work should be divided as indicated in the out- line, one evening being given up to farm expenses, a second to livestock,a third to dairy produce and so on through the list. • In this way each topic can be given the consideration it de- serves. and the resulting -figures are certain to be more accurate I than if completed hastily. The Judith Basin milling plant has been sold to Andrews & Son, milling men of North Dakota. John Riockman, an eight years old lad of Electric, was drowned Sunday afternoon while skating I on the Yellowstone river. • • • • • • Milt' ki.:111111ii:1111l, ASE a 4 ii; SF Si 4 , RI 1111i 11111A1011 Imported and Domestic Cigars • s Place LYON, Prop. 0 4 Family Trade • a Specialty...
