A big stock firm in the west went to
the wall recently. Not long ago they
paid $4,000 for a fancy bred bull.
Bulls at this price ought to bust any
firm that pays it.

Equal parts in weight of cornmeal
and bran make very good dairy ra-

pounds of ensilage and two or three
pounds Of gluten meal, she ought to do

Better than to give your boy $1,000
when he is twenty-one years old is it
for you to give him but $500 ard use
the other $500 to give him two yenrs
at some agricultural college when he
is seventeen. He will then Re in shape
to earn that other $500 and a good deal
more besides. There is nothing surer
today than the fact thet the man who
knows Is the man who can make mon
ey. And this is not al. That two years
at college will SO broaden and widen
Dim that he will not only be able to
make more MONEY, but will in every
way be a bigger, better type of man.

The regulations enforced by the con-
densed milk factories as to the purity
Of the milk furnished are ironclad. If
the same regulations could be enforced
in the creameries of the country, there
would be wonderful improvement in
the grade Of the butter produced. Dirt
and carelessness are the bane of all
creameries.

OLD TIMES AND VIEW TINES.

An old account book owned by a
farmer shows that III January, 1865, he
sold ten fat hogs at $3.50 per hundred.
This was pretty long price, and we
of today shoul9 say he was making
money hand oyer fist, but another page
of the same tccount book shows tli.tt
he paid $5.5gfor ten pounds of coffee,
1888 for tel pounds of sugar, SLIT for
twelve spo5ls Of thread, S13e for g,l-.
Ion of kArosepe oil. The man who
raises sly dollar hogs today is infinitely
better Of. .

We are asked why it is that stock
with no other feed during the year
than the grasses Of the range country
can maintain life and actually fatten
on such food. The explanation is to be
found in the fact that the buffalo grass
as it cures naturally where it grows
possesses the same nutritive value as
sheaf oats.

A large portion of the central west
had rainfall during 1902 approximate
ing forty inches, this coming mostly
during the summer months. Should
there be snowfall during the winter
months equivalent to this summer
rainfall in amount of moisture precipi-
tated we should have to take care Of
over forty feet of snow.

Government crop reports give Geor-
gia, Florida and Alabama an average
crop of corn for 1902 of only eight and
a half bushels per acre against thirty
nine bushels for Missouri and thirty
eight for Illinois and Indiana. The
stalks grew just as tall in these south
erh states as they did in the northern
ones, but the ears were not there.

It is surprising the large number OF
men there are who believe that ear
corn is a good ration for dairy COW.
They usually supplement this with oat
straw or stalks in the field and wonder
why it does not pay to keep cows. 1t
would be hard to give poorer ration
for the dairy COW than the above.

1t is generally known that the largest
and finest flowers of the chrysanthe-
NUNS are produced on plants which
are only allowed to mature single
blossom. Asking florist recently why
more such flowers were not grown, he
told us that it did not pay; that such
flowers could not be grown and sold
for less than so cents apiece, and the
flower loving public would not pay
this price.

The success Of any cooperative
scheme among the farmers depends
very largely upon few smart business
men being willing to work without
compensation. We know of one case
where services which would command
a salary of $4,000 year in a private
business of like kind are given without
compensation to direct the affairs OF
one of the most successful cooperative
schemes to be found in the country.

Eggs in way are just as suscept;-
BILE to bad doors as is milk. The odor
Of onions when fed to the hens is cas-
lily discernible i'll the eggs they pro-
duce. A Lady friend Of ours simply
spoiled her eggs by placing balls made
of a creosote preparation in the nests
to get rid CT the lice. Where good eggs
are wanted hens should not be allowed
to do scavenger duty.

About the only way to keep mice out
of the cellar is to cement the floor and

the health CT the family.

Ten acres of good land under irriga-
ton can be made very much more pro-
ductve than ten acres whose water
supply is under the control Of the
weather clerk. While it is true that the
rain falls on the just and OH the I'M
just and that the average rainfall of
a given territory may seem to be am
pie, it nearly always happens either
that the water does not come at the
right time or is too literally or too
scantily supplied.

gress $1,000000 to defray the expenses
Of stamping out the disease.

A friend writes and wishes to know
when to SOW alfalfa. 1t should be
sown in the spring on well prepared
land, without any nurse crop. 1t should
then be moved once or twice through
the summer so as to keep the growth
OF weeds down. A crop from it can
hardly be expected the first year If
there are spots in the fields the next
spring where it seems to have failed,
some more seed should be sown. It
sometimes takes two or three years to
get good stand of alfalfa.

WENT DOWN WITH A CRASH.
Staging at New Picket Block Falls lnjuring
John Shanks, a Mason Tender.

A roar like great peal Of thunder
brought people to the store doors along
Billings avenue about 4:3O Tuesday
afternoon to discover that the staging
put up for the brickmasons upon the
new Picket block had given way.
There were two scaffolds, the upper one
of which the masons were standing on
and the lower one being used to wheel
the brick and mortar up on. The stag
ing was held in place by pieces fastened
into the brick wall These pieces sud
denly pulled out. With the crash that
followed, the two masons at work on the
upper scatfold jumped to the top of the
brick work and did not come down with
their scatfolding, but the two tenders
were on the lower scatfold and they fell
with it. One Of them, John Shanks, fell
with bis wheelbarrow, striking it across
his left side, breaking rib and painfully
bruising the flesh. Emil Dodge, the
other mason tender. also fell in heap
but was not hurt. Shanks' injuries were
dressed by DR.. Butler at his office and
the unfortunate victim of the accident
will be laid up several days at the Cen
tral hotel, his boarding place.

WE'RE Up AGAINST IT
Red Ledge Loses Its First Baseball Game
in an Unequal Struggle
With Billings.
----
FOUND FAST COMPANY
Imported Players Secured by Magic City
Win Out With Assistance of
Two Umpires
FOUND FAST COMPANY

A special train Of five coaches, carry
ing the Miners City band and an i'm
mense crowd of representative rooters,
male and female, last Sunday took the
Red Lodge Baseball club down to Bill
lings and to comparative easy defeat
The train departed at 8:15 in the morn
ing and beat the regular flyers schedule
nearly two hours. 1t was glorious day
and a splendid delegation. The clubs
colors, green and red, entwined in a
chaplet OF gold, tluttered to the breeze
from over hundred coats and waists.
It was a jolly crowd, off on days recre-
alton, and the way the excursionists
made the welkin ring was the proper
thing. Above the discordant din Of fog
horns and tin cans there arose the vol
uptuous swell Of music rendered by the
famous Finn band.
The game was called at o'clock in
the presence Of thousand people and
ended two hours later with victory
perched on the Billings banner. Red
Lodge, for the first time in two years
failed to measure UP to the exigencies q
the situation and were overwhelmed by
imported players and lost the game tc
the two umpires by a score Of ? to 3
But despite this the result might have
been different if Paddy Fleming had oc.
cupied his old position in the box, with
his arm in good condition. AS it was he
couldn't even hold down third base
making two costly errors in wild throws
to first and thus demonstrating the fac
that he should not have entered the
game at all with his glass arm.

and loaf Of bread. He removed his

cell.
Ringer was in Jail for assault upon
Louis Spethman at Bridger Sept. 2 1901,
and had been in the county bastile this
time since March q last, few days be-
which date he was taken into custody at
Lincoln, Neb., by Sheriff Potter. His es-
cape from Sheriff Dunn the night before
he was to come before the district court
for trial occurred in October, 1900 and at
that time his adieu was shrouded in
the deepest mystery. Without stirring
a bolt he walked out of the coop and for
nearly two years kept his liberty, until,
deserving his wife and living in adultery
with a fast woman, he was squealed upon
by his mother-in law, who gave informa
tion which led to his apprehension at
Lincoln. Ringer escaped on the first
occasion from the same part OF the Jail
he did this time. At the supper hour

the liberty Of the Jail area to get their
evening meal. When Duputy Cain
locked them in a little later it is sup
posed Ringer walked around from the
cell room and passed into the front part
Of the jail unnoticed and either effected
his escape then by passing out the un-
locked front door or did SO little later
when y. Q. Woodward, his attorney,
came up to see him. Mr.. Woodward
went to the jail to secure Ringers sig
nature to an affidavit asking Judge Hen
ny for continuance Of his trial and it is
supposed if Ringer escaped then he
stood behind the outside door and
walked out after his attorney had en-
tered the cell part Of the Jail.
III the absence Of Sheriff Potter, who
has been over at Cody and along the
Burlington the past few days continuing
the search for Ringer, Under Sheriff
Gebo on Wednesday had description
Of the escaped prisoner printed and an
offer made Of 500 reward for his appre-
hension. The description Of Ringer thus
furnished is as follows: Age, 81 years;
height, 5 feet, So inches; weight, 100
pounds; dark complexion, large red nose
face pockmarked, particularly on the
nose; had ten days growth Of beard at
time Of escape; wore black suit, black
fedora hat, black short overcoat, and red
and blue striped dark shirt with no col.
lar; wears No. G shoe. Likely to be
found frequenting sporting places.
