which have been seen there in years past. Mr..
Bonaventure searches out his specimens per-
sonally every season In Europe. and keeps con-
stantly in touch with the work of living bind
ers and collectors The tendency of the times
is toward new effects. The popular binders de-
part from the styles that carry the approval OF

banking interests In Rosebud county.
Twice the Democrat has taken the
movements or changes made by Mr..

ing ex-senator Carter without any
grounds for basing an attack. The
probabilities are that the relations be-

are very cordial and that any changes
the former has made were of his own

Smoking a Narghile.

"The narghile is the best instrument
to smoke tobacco through, provided you
use 1t in the right way" said man
who knows. "Most people use it in the
wrong way. They load it with tobacco
and light up with a match as though
1t was pipe they were smoking. This
is incorrect, and the narghile, SO
abused, has an abominable taste and
odor. The right way to use the mar
CHILE is first to dip your tobacco in
water, squeeze the water out and place
the soaked, damp mass in the pipe
bowl Then you take lump Of burn
ing charcoal and set 1t on the top Of
the wet tobacco and begin to smoke.
The tobacco itself. you see, is not really
alight; it's the charcoal that's alight; 1t
is the burning charcoal that eats the
tobacco up. This is the secret Of mar
yhile smoking. And q narghile, smoked
properly, is delicious-makes, In fact,
the very best smoke in the world

the greatest cattle raising states of
the union. Montana last year import.

$4,000 pounds of cabbage, 1O,374,3S7
pounds Of potatoes. 1888. 900 pounds
of beans besides vast quantity of
other vegetables.
The report shows that more than
lS,000,000 pounds of wheat was ship
ped into Montana last year, which
would indicate tnat some of the -four
ing mills on the railroad were using
Dakota wheat in the manufacture of
their finest grades of -four.
OF hog products there were import.
ed into the state last year 1857 900
pounds OF fresh pork. 1922 900 pounds
of ham and 3,6l7,OOO pounds of bacon.
Nearly 100000 eggs and 100000
pounds of poultry were sold in the
state. Even large quantity of fresh
beef is shipped in here by eastern
packing houses.
Although this is great cattle coun-
try, with rich grasses. pure water and
splendid openings, there are only five
small creameries in the entire state
to supply the wants of quarter of a
million people.
There is no question but many of
the products mentioned above could
Just as well have been produced at
home. and several million dollars
found their way into the pockets of
our own people. 1t would seem that
those farmers who have easy access
to the large cities of the state would
be among the first to take advantage
of the situation which. apparently.
they have failed to do.
In central Montana there is a vast
region embracing a large number of
farmers which, as yet. has no rail.
road communication with outside
points. When better facilities are Of
fered for shipping the products of the
farm and ranch It is reasonable to
presume that greater attention will be
given the matter.
After all. II Is question Of growth
and evolution. II has been the his
tory of nearly every western state that
the smaller products are the last to
receive attention. In an early day
the farmers of Minnesota gave their
attention almost entirely to wheat
raising. Some Of the then banner
wheat counties now hardly raise suf-
ticient for home consumption. Nee
essity caused them to change their
tactics. The soil, worn out by con-
stant wheat crops. was put to other
purposes with much better results.
The farmers of Montana will get to
the smaller things eventually. They
have already made progress in that
direction. There is considerable ex-
pense and labor attached to a change
of methods and products and with
