People have forgotten that the only
severe earthquakes in this country have |
been east of the Mississippi River. The |
New Madrid earthquake of 1912 caused |
the Mississippi to flow north for several
by an upraise in the earth,
which, had it continued, would have
made an immense lake. The recent
earthquakes inflicted the greatest loss of
life, at Charleston, that has ever occurred
from that cause in the United States.
The rankings of wheat, oats and rye
are not often worth threshing, at least
to mix with the good grain. AS good
plan as any is to put these by themselves
and feed in the straw to fowls. Feed it
in a clean place, and the exercises of
among the straw for scatter
ing grain will keep the fowls healthy. In
whole grain hens gorge themselves by
eating too rapidly. This may be good
way to fatten them, but is not the best
for egg production.
The members Of the Bozeman team
who participated in the tournament
shoot at Helena are quite enthusiastic of
their royal treatment by the Helena Rod

which they were entertained and are
anxious to try and get even" with these
hale fellows should The visit us here
during our tournament in September.
The banquet spread by Mr.. Slusher was
an elegant affair, net with high wines
and toothsome delicacies.
Mr.. ]. Spar infers from the item in
our last issue, regarding the man and
widow" who registered in Helena as
man and wife, that he is one of the par
ties referred to. Mr.. Spar says that be
is ready to prove that his business in
Helena was perfectly legitimate, and /
that his actions there will withstand the
strictest scrutiny Inasmuch as no |
names were mentioned in the item, we
fail to see why Mr.. Sparr's friends should |
be exercised on his account, unless it be
from the fact that the Independent Of /
Helena published an item to the effect |
that Mr.. Spar and wife were in town.
