THE HARDIN TRIBUNE VOL. III. NO. 4- HARDIN, YELI orvry, MONIANA, FRIDAY, kNUARY Ab, iqt $2.00 PER YEAR. A NEW YEAR REVERY I sometime wonder what this world would be If all the people were just like me. Did you ever think what the country would do If all the people were just like you? I can seldom do just the thinks I wish, Can hardly ever go to hunt or fish; I work all the day and a part of the night, But seldom do anything that's done just right. I get but little money and that little I spend In ways that come to no very good end. I try to write and my brain won't work, And there are many tasks that my hands will shirk. Sometimes I feel good and my spirit bold Will soar far above this earthly fold; Then I think it mean to be selfish and cold, And I feel like hel—feel like helping some poor soul. I have some ups and a good many downs, With a sprinkling of smiles and a surplus of frowns. Sometimes, it is true, I have a good thought, But selfishness and sloth usually bring it to naught. Yet I know all the while that the world's a good place, There is sunshine in plenty and of clouds but a trace; It would surely be fine could we all live higher, With heads in the sunshine and feet out of the mire. After all I fear the conclusion must be 'Twould be a queer old world if all were like me. Now what !,) you think the country would do If all the 1, , nle were just like you? -•••• ..••••••• , ••••1111 , •••••••11,•16,111 11 , •11 , 11/VIIrmr••••••••••••••••••••••••••• - We Give Advice Free Come in and LOOK OVER OUR STOCK Regarding your building problems We have considerable experience in solving such problems as they come up daily with us We charge you nothing for advice or the extra quality and prompt service that goes with every pur- chase made here Bacheller-Scott Lumber Co. 4 0. 1 .4.-43-44111•1.--41111•1141D--401111111.--114IIIND- HARDWARE Builders Hardware EnamelandTinWare Everything in Hardware and Farm Machinery eastmo 41111Mi Every Thing in Cutlery Heating Stoves and Ranges Stove Boards Barb Wire Always on Hand Always Glad to Show our Goods Washing Machines and Cloths Wringers 0.

DRY LANDS Cultivated Crops Should Pre- cede the Growing of Grain Agricultural Successful Where Rainfall lie not Less Than Fif- teen Inches Billings Journal: Farming may be completely successful in areas where the rainfall is not more than 15 inches per year,and good crops may be grown on even less than that amount of precipita- tion. Good crops have been grown on from 7 to 10 inches of rain during the growing season, but in order to grow such crops the moisture in the soil must be conserved one year either by the summer fallow or by growing cultivated crops to aid in growing the grain crops that follows. Any other system of farming these lands will not succeed. The settler should be on the ground and all ready to begin work as soon as spring opens. If no breaking has been done previously, the aim should be to break 4 to 6 inches deep as much land as can be well prepared by disking and harrowing, and sown or planted in season with the following crops: Oats, flax and alfalfa,sown in the order named. After these should follow corn, potatoes, rutabagas and garden vegetables. Corn and potatoes will grow by simply burying them beneath the sod, but they will grow much better by planting them on a well prepared seed bed and cultivating them. Ruta- baga seed may be simply scatter- ed on breaking and harrowed. As soon as these crops are plant- ed, as much land should be brok- en as time will admit for the next crop. The day that it is plowed it ought to be rolled or planked,and the disk and harrow should then be used at intervals during the remainder of the sea- son. Winter wheat should be drilled in on a part of this land in August, the other part being reserved for spring crops. The grains sown the second year may include any or all of of the. following: Macaroni, spring wheat, spring rye, spelts, oats, common barley, white hul- less barley, flax and alfalfa, and these should be sown on the fal- low land or cultivated land of the previous year, but it will answer to sow flax on spring breaking again. As much as can be well cared for should again be plant- ed to fodder corn, potatoes, field beans and rutabagas. All these may be grown on stubble land. Other land should be broken and managed as in the previous year. The third year's work is es- sentially the same as the second, as far as crop production is con- cerned, but it may be necessary to summer fallow a part of the stubble land as well as to add to the breaking. More alfalfa should also be sown, both the second and third years, and on summer fallow or after corn or potatoes. 1. Avoid breaking or plowing land and allowing it to lie over summer without further work- ing. 2. The following amounts of grain will he found sufficient to SOW per Sere: Winter wheat Macaroni wheat Winter or spring Speltz and oats Barley.... Flax 2. All kinds to 4 pecks 4 to 5 pecks rye5 to 6 pecks 4 to 5 pecks 3 to 4 pecks 11 to 2 pecks of grain many usually be harrowed once or of- tener with profit with a light harrow for some time after it is 4. The aim should be to grov, winter wheat or winter rye on summer fallow drilled in stand- ing corn or drilled into barley j stubble land, to grow cultivated crops on stubble land, and ti , grow spring grains only after summer fallow or cultivated crops. Alfalfa is best sown alone On summer fallow, or after culti- vated crops, at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds an acre. 6. Pastures may be rn.(de 1:4 sowing, without a nurse (\ ',the following mixture: Brom( ' 4 ..; ass, 4 pounds per acre; western ry,. grass, 5 pounds per acre, and alfalfa, 3 pounds per acre. 7. The best money crops aro winter wheat, flax and potatoes, valuable in the order named, and the best fodder crops are alfalfa and fodder corn. 8. The settler should begin with one or two cows and one or two brood sows, also half a dozen fowls, adding to these on- ly as food can be grown for 9. Shelter that will answer quite well for stock may be made for a time by covering a frame of poles with straw. Comet Plainly Visible The comet that is visible in the southwest every clear evening since Thursday evening of last week is calling forth, a great deal of controversy from the various astronomer. Some declare it to be Halley's 2omet, as does the article that appears elsewhere in this is- sue, others asserting that it is not Halley's but is known as comet A- - 1910. D.)sen't matter much to us whose comet it is but the fact remains that there is a com- et to be seen every clear evening and is being watched with much interest by the Hardin people.

School Bond Election Saturday Tomorrow, Saturday the 29th, the voters of the school district No.17 will be called upon to de- cide the proposed bond issue of $5, 000 additional bond to be used in the constuction of a modern four room school building for Hardin. Last summer the district voted $7,000 of which $1,200 was used to erect a school building on the bench, leaving $5,800 in 'the building fund. It is the judg- ment of the board that Hardin should have a four room modern school building and after looking up the cost of such a building very carefully they have found it im- possible to erect such a 'building with out the additional funds , asked for in the proposed bonds. The bonds, if voted, are to be 20 year bonds bearing interest a: 6 per cent per annum, making the debt one to be met by the coming generation as it were The only additional expense on the tax payers will be that of 1 the interest which would not be , a burden at the present time and at the rapid advance of valuation of the district would soon be scarcely noticed at all. If this bond is voted Hardin can have a school building that every citizen can point to with pride, if not the board will be forced if they build at all tc , erect a building that will have to be replaced at a loss 1, the district. Come out to tht meeting and help make it possible 0 . 1 to secure a desirable building FREE Chase 6V-' Sanborn Hot Coffee and Music by the Crow Indian Orchestra From One to Six P. M. Saturday, February 5th PED ENS sugar Beet \i !sits Hardin C. S. Milhiser representing the Billings Sugar Co. came slown from Billings Tuesday and spent the day here talking the raising of sugar beets. While here he made arrangments to have a meeting of the ranchers of the valley at some date in the near future when he will be prepared to make contracts, if there are a sufficient number of acres obtainable. Mr Milhiser seemed to think there would be little trouble in interesting beet raisers in this valley as the soil and all conditions are most favorable for the producing of sugar bests. Business Changes Hands W. E. Reno and F. E. Bateman have purchased the Frank Bode livery business and will take charge of the same the first of February. The new proprietors will restock the barn with horses and rigs and will spare no effort to give the public first class liv- ery service.
