MORE UNUSUAL WEATHER
Sudden Drop in Temperature

Fuel Dealers in Their
Glory.

With an evident lack of regard for ira
ditions ana the stories of old-timers, the
weather in and about Anaconda has been
conducting itself in a remarkable manner
in the last few days. Although the al
manac says winter is yet some distance
away, conditions now existing go to show
that it is here.
How would you like to be the coal
man?'' has taken the place of the sum-
ner query of How would you like to be
the ice man?' for the ice man is disconso-
late and has to content himself with fig
uring on next seasons profits while the
coal man has more business than he can
attend to.
Many people thought the thermometer
had sprung a leak yesterday morning and
that the mercury was leaking out Of the
tube. They had an idea the temperature
was down to zero. This is a mistake.
There is no evidence to show it was near
zero.
At II o'clock Thursday night the tenn
perature was IS degrees above zero,
while yesterday morning at 8 o'clock it
was down to 16. About clock it Is sup
posed to have been about 10 degrees lower
than that, but any one who had remained
out to that time is hardly competent to
give accurate testimony in that regard.
Beginning Sunday. the temperature be-
gan to go down and fell steadily until
yesterday, when there was slight thaw.

FOR FARM And GARDEN.


The horticulturist of the Michigan
station claims that one of the princi-
pal reasons why varieties of grain run
out is probably that oats, wheat and
barley are being continually inbred in
nature, and the result is that, like
animals, their vigor and productive
ness decrease, unless the seed be very
carefully selected each season, which
is not often done. The different va
rieties of wheat, barley. oats and pease
probably never cross naturally in the
field. The flowers are so protected
that it is next to impossible for foreign
pollen to reach them; hence, II new
blood is to be infused into variety IL
must be done by artificial cross fer
tilization. This cannot be done until
the head is carefully examined, the
flower found, and the male and female
organs distinguished.

] nm not well acquainted with the cli
matte and soil conditions OF Dawes
county, Nebraska. l would expect,
however, that rape could be grown
successfully, especially II sown there
early In the season so rs to be well
established by the time the hot aud
dry conditions come in the summer.
There Is nothing like very rich sell to
enable rape to Withstand very hot and
dry weather.
"The best plan know or to secure
this condition is to SOW the rape very
much as they oftentimes SOW tnrnips in
Scotland. The land is ribbed, that is,
the furrows are thrown so as to face
each other and make ridges, with a
rather deep furrow between them.
This furrow is filed with we'll rotted
manure, and the soil is thrown back
over the manure and then the rape
seed is drilled on the top Of the ridge,
thus being directly over the mannre.
III sown in early in the season
this way it is remarkable what
rank, luxuriant growth of rape may
be secured before the warm weather
comes on.
'If this is cut four inches above the
ground an immense amount Of soiling
feed may be obtained. If cultivated
after cutting, the rape will sprout
again and grow very strong. BY cut
ting and cultivating in this way, have
secured three good crops, running
thirty-six tons of green food per
acre.
"By sowing the rape on ridges in
this way, it not only enables one to
give crop two or three good cultiva-
tions while growing, but the cultivat-
ing after cutting also seems to be very
conducive to quick, rank growth.
The rape being very gross feeder, it
seems that it cannot get too much
manure. Sown early in this way it
seems to me that it could be sowed as
soiling crop for ewes aud lambs, and
any of the crops might be fed with
profit by folding fattening lambs Oh
