power plant for supplying the city
After spending considerable time and
money in the investigation of the
Saltwater and several other streams
in the near vicinity OF Kalispell, all
of which would have required eXpen-
sivc dams to build and maintain, il
was decided to investigate the Big
Fork river. The great amount of
power awaiting development at the
Big Fork was well known 10 the
members of the company but the ma
turc Of the stream and the cnarac
ter of the ground and the distance
from Kalspell were difficulties that
looked to be too great to be overcome.
After investigating the matter thor
oughly it was decided to locate the
plant at the mouth of the Big Fork
river and steps We're taken at once
to secure sites for power house and
headgates and the right OF way for
the ditch and tiume. The services o.
Mr.. f. b. Fish. a hydraulic engineer
| of Dayton. Ohio, were secured to plan
and look after the construction IT
| the plant.
Dividing the main range of the
Rocky mountains from the Mission
range and draining the waters from
the two ranges Swan river runs al
most due north into Swan lake. From
Swan lake the stream turns to the
west and empties into the northern
end of Fiathead lake seven miles to
| the west. Between the two lakes the
stream is called the Big Fork river,
| stream and about 20 miles from kal-
isrell the new plant is located.
About the 18th of August. 1900. the
first work was commenced in the way
of clearing the ground for the graders
and carpenters.
The Big Fork river for one mile
above its mouth is a very rapid
stream and above that point for sew,
eral miles the river is quiet and deep
so it was not necessary to build a
dam. The bottom of the intake and the
headgates were put in five feet below
low water mark of the river above
the rapids and from the headgates
for 1850 feet there was wooden

) of 2200 feet to the power house.

FEEpINe THE CORN FopDEn.

The question of paramount interest
TO hundreds of men all through the
country just now is how to most eco
nomically and profitably feed the large
amount of corn fodder which has been
secured. The best way to use corn
fodder is in the silo, but that method
will not fit this case. The next best
method. having in mind the economy
of handling, is to haul the fodder and
scatter on clean blue grass pasture,
letting the fatting steers have the first
feed from 1t and then let the stock
cattle and horses finish it up. The
next way is to haul from the field and
stack in narrow stack, shreddlng later
on when the weather is cold and dry.
While it is true that most Of the ears
can be removed by hand from the
bundle without untytng or breaking 1t
this Is an awfully tedious job where
one has forty or fifty acres of corn

NO HARD TIMES IN SIGHT,

A friend wants to know when hard
times for the farmer are likely to come
again. assuming that the present pros
porous condition of agriculture cannot
continue. While lower prices for farm
products are almost sure to come III
the natural order of supply and de-
mand, we still think that the greatly
expanded markets for the products of
the American farm and factory and
common sense business principles in
the policies of government will abso-
lutely prevent q recurrence of what
may be termed "hard times" for the
American farmer for many years TO
come. The whole world Is becoming
dependent to greater or lesser degree
upon America. The actual foreign de-
mand for foodstuffs, coupled with the
home demand from nonproducers en-
gagged in manufacturing commodities
for foreign countries, is sure to make
an active demand at good prices for ali
that the farmer has to sell. 1t is this
fact which does much TO explain the
marked advance In the price Of good

Pioneer days We're essentially the
days Of most generous and unprc-

country folk. Complaint is now made
that with better homes, more wealth,
more independence and more style,
this old fashioned hospitality has most
ly disappeared. We recall with pleas
ure the social customs of forty years
ago on the frontier. The visit to thu
neighbours lasted two or three days,
bedding was taken along and q good
supply of good things to eat. so that the
burden of entertainment should be
llghtened. There were good fellow

Food greatly affects the favor of the
flesh of the animal TO which it is fed.
Thus turkeys and hogs which live in
the woods and forage for their rations
OF nuts. roots and mast are very much
better favored than those which are
wholly domesticated and fed in the
barnyard. The finest favored hams
produced anywhere are from the Yir-
gina mountain districts. where the
hogs run wild in the woods the year
round, and turkeys raised in the woods
are almost as highly favored in flesh
as their wild relatives. The eggs and

u1nEp uELp ON rnE FAnm.

A big and most serious problem for
all farmers today Is the question of
help TO do the farm work. The de-
mand for labor by the mines, railways
and manufacturing industries is so
urgent and has so forced up the price
OF unskilled labor in this country that
farm labor is not only hard to get, but
demands such. rate of compensation
that many a man hesitates TO employ
it. AS result farmers are casting
about for methods whereby they may
be enabled TO operate their farms with
tte smallest amount of hired help posi-
be. Some are giving up their dairying,
others are seeding their land TO grass.
many leasing their land In excess Of
what they can attend to themselves,
others selling off a part of their farms.

Marvellous as Is the instinct of birds,
one is led to wonder why the swift. or

in house chimneys. where the nest.
with its eggs or young, is very Liable
TO fall down because of lack of proper
adhesion to the brick. or where the
starting Of fire by the householder
works complete destruction. Where
did these birds build their nests at the
time the psalmist wrote of them as
seeking a place where she may lay

were unknown? And why. in its search
