They are on sale in about 30 different
places of business in the city and at

been marked off on the plan il is known
that a sufficient number of tickets have

NEVER BETTER.
The Holiday Trade Eclipses That of For
mer Years.


Never before in the history of mer-
camille business have Anaconda people
turned out in such crowds as have
this year packed the stores since the
holiday trade started in. The stores
where toys and other children's Christ
mas goods are kept, of course. did the
biggest trade, but the other lines also
report an enormous business. The
drug stores and places where toilet
articles, such as atomizers, combina-
ton hair-dressing sets and other like
goods are for sale, report an immense
trade. Clothing and gents furnishing
goods stores had all they cared to han
die, and ladies notions found ready
sale.
prosperity is not of the fake character,
but that the people of this city are
blessed with their share of the mater
ial things of this world.
The rushing Christmas trade also
shows that things are changed from
what they used to be. Last payday
was the quietest payday this city
has ever seen. The police made only
two arrests for drunkenness, whereas
on former occasions 10 to Is men be-
came so boisterous as to cause the po-
lice to arrest them. Not only in police
circles was the payday a quiet one,
but in all other particulars as well.
This fact, when considered in connec-
ton with the big holiday trade, indi-
Gates that men are no longer devil
may-care, but that they realize that
there are other things than tie neea-
tive enjoyment of "A spree and that it
We're better to use their money for
presents to make friends happy than
to squander it foolish1y.
OF course, there are a certain num-
Der of men who will spend their Christ
mas day in the manner that used to
obtain when Montana was wilder than
it is now, but these will be exceedingly
few in comparison to those whose time
will be spent in the worship of Him
for whose birthday anniversary the
day is held sacred, and who will stay
at home with their wives and families.

DER OF farmers. For years experiments
nave been made for cheap and prac-
teal use Of corn stalks Scientists have
discovered that the piIh of the stalk can
be made into eellulose, a valuable pro-
duct, but the use OF this product is
limited when compared with the enor-
nous supply Of material from which II
is made.
Greater use of corn stalks for stock
feeding has been the desideratum of the
progressive farmer. and Cook county
tillers of the soil are among the intelli-
gent eXperimenters in this line. Pas
sengers on the Northwestern railroad
tins fall have noticed in the corn fields
some queer looking machines that re-
sfmbled thrashets with a straw carrier
at each end. These machines are types
Of other inventions made in recent
years for shredaing the stalk and maxi
ing tit for feed its harder and tougher
portions.
The up-to-date farmer cuts his own
corn as soon as it is out of the way of
frost. when the indentation in the kerr
mel appears. The cutting is no longer
done With the awkward and dangerous
L.
acre OF corn in the shock In day has
done a good days work The scientific
farmer sits ON a machine that strad-
dies row of corn and cuts and ties
i'll bundles 10 to II acres of 1t day.
The machine cuts the stalk as near
the ground as possible for the greater
portion OF the sugar, its fattening
quality, is in its lower and thicker por
ton.
The bundles are put in the shock or
hauled directly to the shredder. This
machine is fed much as is the thrasher,
only the stalks go butt first. Rollers
pull the stalk on to rapidly revolving
knives which shred and tear it into
pieces not to exceed nine inches long
and rarely longer than a lead pencil.
The shredded fodder is carried back by
carrier that deposits 1t in a wagon
or in pile on the ground The rollers
pinch off the ear and force 1t into trans
verse rollers with a screw motion that
carries the ear forward while stripping
it Of its husk. The denuded ear is
dropped by a carrier into a wagon.

duction of the corn field" said MIR. But
