Judge Gibbons decision in the ticket
scalping case is certainly good sense.
and it is very likely to be pronounced
good law If the matter goes to the SUI

the root of the whole proposition when
he says: eff l enter railroad office and

ural and judicial. The truth is, how
ever, that the agitation against ticket
scalping is not caused by travellers sell
ing unused tickets to brokers, but by
passenger agents supplying the scalp
ers with cut-rate transportation. The
railroads want to be protected against
themselves, and in order to do SO they
are willing that the rights of bona fide
purchasers should be disregarded.
Judge Gibbons vetoes this proposition
and the supreme court is very likely to
sustain him, The case is too plain for
argument Chicago Chronicle.

Have the barn conveniently con-
structed. 1t will matter much
whether or not there are doors at
the right places, for upon this will
depend the time required to do ones
work. A hundred unnecessary steps
in day will amount to many in a
large figures.
Under the advanced methods of
good modern farming ground can
never become too old to raise max
imum yield of corn. Tillage and
supply prevent impoverishment.
The farmer must know his soil as
does painter his pigments, for this
is time of close research. In every
locality there is wealth in nature, in
the combination of soil and climate,
for those who know how to get it..
No man yet knows all the possibili-
ties imprisoned in an acre of
ground.
The smut on oats for planting can
be destroyed by an immersion in
hot water. Let them be exposed to
temperature of about 1876 degrees
for 10 minutes; then spread them
out where they will quickly drain
and dry. Do not guess at the temp
erature, but use thermometer.
The groceryman of your village is
obliged to send away for his early
supply of cabbages. Take advant-
age of this situation. Sow seeds in
hot beds as early as January, trans
plant in March, and by the middle
of May have marketable heads to
sell at the high prices. 1t will not
take much of a garden patch to bring
in fifty or a hundred dollars. A
layer OF mellow soil can be spread
over fresh manure in the pit, and the
skill to supply the proper moisture
and ventilation will be soon ac-
quired.
Poor land is dear at almost any
price to farm. Such land, to pay
anything, save in the exceptional
conditions where it will pay to en-.
rich it, should be seeded in grass oil

devoted to them will rot be missed
and the sleek hair and increased
growth will be rich return for all
milk given them and for the little
time their care has demanded.
OF course, we do not care to raise
stock for the market when it will
not pay for its feed. While soaked
oats promotes rapid growth in young
pigs, they are rather an expensive
feed, and we must watch results
very closely as we go along.
To keep hogs through two winters
is an Anticipated method, indeed. 1t
is almost impossible to feed in such
a manner that "A pound of pork can
be produced with profit from any
pig over a year old.
Up to the time of weaving nature
has provided "A sweet. warm food for
the pigs, and we should be very
cautious not to let them have sour
milk or slop during the first eight
weeks, at least. Even after that
caution should be used.
When you have bought fine boar
do not turn him into the field with
10 or 20 sows, where he will sire a
hundred pigs or so, beside having to
fight his way with lot of borrows
He can not do all this and keep fat
and sleek and grow as do the other
pigs. If the sows are driven to hin
singly, one good service will be suf
ficient, and there will be better pigs
and stronger litters, and it will Ger

Cattle,

We are beginning to hold our own
with the European markets in SELL
ing pure bred stock to Mexico and
the South American States. We
have the advantage in that we Can
raise better stock on our farms with
our abundant feed if we raise pure
bred and high grade cattle. We
have so much good grade stock
which should be bred up to higher
perfection.
Even to-day the Shorthorn is the
most universal dairy cow in the
country, although her dairy quail
ties. have been poorly developed;
but her milk, in ad dition to her
great feeding properties, has given
hec great advantage over other
beef breeds. Her dairy qualities
develop good calves, as milk is the
best food for young stock.
The skill of feeder largely de-
ponds upon knowing how much to
feed and how to apportion it to get
the best results. Cattle, with free
access to all they will eat, are in
clined to eat more than they can
/ digest, aud there is waste. On the
other hand, there is waste and pro-
longed feeding if they are given all
they will digest. However, properly
pushed, some grain will pass undi-
/ gested, and will be wasted if there
are not hogs to CLEAN it, though the
/ argument in favor of this last point
may not be all on one side.
There is no question but that il
costs more to put on flesh as an ami

mating power is to place a definite
number of them in a damp cloth,
and put them away in a dark, warm
place. The good will terminate, and
the poor will not.
1t is usually better to delay seed
ing or planting a few days, that we
may have favorable conditions, than
to put seeds in the ground when it
is reasonably evident they will not
terminate. The best growing and
most vigorous plants are received
after quick termination. If they
have strong vitality they will often
remain for some time, however,
when the conditions are unfavorable,
and later on will start up when the
ground becomes warmer and dries
out.
The fencing often sells or condemns
a farm. No man in buying will give
as much for a farm if poorly fenced
as he would otherwise, though the
fences have nothing whatever to do
with the quality of the soil. They
make the whole outlook repulsive.
The buyer wants farm ready to go
to work upon, and not one which
looks as If it was too poor to keep
itself in trim.

Horses.


If the farmer breeds for heavy
drafters he will get medium and
small horses enough for his use,
while his extra large animals will
sell for the offering of them. III con-
tent to raise the small horses for his
own use, he must not complain of
the market.
We import horses of the coach
horses breed, and find them fitted
for our general purposes; then we
send the improved offspring back to
Europe for their armies. The Ma
tions no longer rear special class
of war horses, but draw them from
the industrial breeds, and they de-
mand those of large size and great
endurance.
To be sure, farmers do not want
horses which are too heavy to trot
without injuring their feet. For eX.
elusive farm work the medium
weight horses will live longer and
prove more profitable than the little
animals which are too light to pull q
heavy load.
Only established pure breeds re
produce their type. Individuality
without pedigree amounts to moth,
ing in breeding. Any scrub char
acteristics are sure to show, and the
good characteristics in the grad,
animal are seldom strong enough
bred in him to be perpetuated.

females of any stock, can but be
considered step backward. With
good mares, the better they are in
quality the stronger the reason why
they should be kept on the farm for
breeding purposes.
Shetland ponies, strange as it may
seem, are selling for more than scrub
horses, for the supply is limited and
the demand is large all over the
country; and they are made to do
the work of horses in the islands
whence they come, both in the mines
and in the fields.

Horticulture.

1t is folly to leave fruit trees to
their own way of growing; but what
is worth doing is worth doing well.
DO not take up with every primer
who makes that claim for himself.
Get rid of two notions-that pruning
can be left undone or that it can be
done by just any cobbler.
A mulch about a newly trans
planted tree or bed of roses, con-
sisting of partly decayed manure,
will do more to keep the ground
moist and loose and in condition to
encourage growth than if man
should stand over them continually
with a watering pot.

1t is better to ward against vermin
by keeping sulphur and lime in the
dust boxes and nests and the coop
disinfected with kerosine now and
then than to make a fight against
the host of these pests after they
come in swarms.
Too often the nests in which
chickens are Matched are so foul
with parasites that the brood has
but little chance to get a start in the
world. The fact that artifically
Matched chickens rarely have a bug
or an insect about them reduces the
loss by death and aids in bringing
them up strong and healthy.

Dairy.

The American hog, the American
trotter and the American draft
horse are growing better all the time,
and are far ahead of the originals
from which they sprang. This is
especially true of the American COW.
Holsteins and Attorneys are better
high record dairy cows as bred in
this country now than when first in
troduced our rich grain food, with
high record pedigree breeding, has
developed the greatest milk and
butter cows in the world.
Old milk pans, dirty stables, filthy
yards, all lend variety to the butter
made by the farmers wife; and then
conVeniences are so few. The care
less farmer has no other thought
than that just anything will do,
and provides nothing better than
the shelves in the cellar, the hole in
the ground, the table in the unsani-
tary pantry. We can not wonder at
the product from the average farm
dairy, but the farmers wife should
not bear all the reproach.
Many farmers would not be with
out crop of roots for winter use for
twice their cost; they help the APP
petite and the digestive organs, and
make a change from dry hay. Right
now is the time to provide for a sup
ply. The sugar beet and the man
gold should be planted by the mid
die of May, aud other things will do
little later. We can so manage
that these crops will not cost too
much by choosing clean land, plant
ing in rows so that horse can cult
vate them, and by keeping the weeds
down. By all means make sure of
good seed.
A relative gain in the quantity of
milk follows an increased consump-
tion of water, whether warmed or
not, and it is claimed the gain is a
pound of milk for each 10 pounds OF
water. If, in winter, the cows will
drink more because the water is
warmed, the increase will be mani
fest IN like proportion.

JUDGE ARMSTRONG SUSTAINED.
County Clerk Coad Was Justly Fined for
Contempt.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.


Helena, July 2i--The supreme court
again passes upon a question presented
b. the difference between the commission
ers of Broadwater county and County
Clerk Coad over the records. As has been
frequently stated in these dispatches,
Coad objected to George Lambert indexing
the records. although he was hired for
that purpose by the county commission
ere. The county clerk based his objection
largely upon the ground that the commits
sioners had not legally awarded con-
tract according to law. Judge Armstrong
recently issued a peremptory writ of
mandate compelling Coad to grant Lam
bert the privilege of indeXing the records.
Coad disobeyed the writ and the lower
court punished him for contempt. The
matter came before the supreme court on
review. The COURT united on an opinion
sustaining Judge Armstrong in filming
Coad 80 for contempt. Incidentally the
court emphasizes the fact that peremptory
wrts of mandate must be obeyed, no mat
ter how strongly the party TO whom they
are directed may claim that he is in the
right
THE whole proceeding on the part of
tho clerk reveals a disposition by subter-
fuge to avoid obedience to the writ" says
the court. at would be the proper thing
for him to complain of the Judgment or
attempt made to use 1t to his prejudice in
the performance of his official duties. IN
