Plant a Locust Grove.

Every farmer in New England ought
to produce posts for his own use at least
if not to sell. There are three common
trees especially suited for posts the
Red Cedar Guniper), the White Cedar
(arbor vitae, and the common Locust
(black or yellow locust). The last will
make the quickest growth, is easily start
ed, and best adapted to otherwise worth
less soils. Good locust posts will usually
be standing long after the man who sets
them is gone.
Believing that the growing of locust
on fairly large scale for sale as posts
ought to prove profitable. the Vermont
Experiment station has recently been in
vestigating the question and starting
some experimental plantations. Prelim-
mary paintings of some nine varieties of
trees have been made at intervals since
1897. The outcome is especially favora-
BILE in the case of the white pines and
the locust and considerable larger plan
tation of each of these was made in 1903.
This trial is being made on the dryest
area of the level sand plain east of Bur-
lington. Pitch pine is the only tree that
makes vigorous natural growth here,
although the white pine succeeds fairly
well when planted. The locust far out
strips all others, however. OF several
thousand seedlings set last spring when
less than foot high, ninety-two percent
are now alive and three feet or more in
height with leafy branching tops. Seed
ling trees near by in exactly similar soil
have a trunk diameter of five inches and
a height of sixteen feet at eleven years
of age; others nineteen years old, grow
ing in equally sandy but moister soil are
averaging nine inches in diameter at the
base and clean shaft of twentyfOur or
more feet, which is sufficient for three
fence posts and some fire wood besides.
Twenty wears from seed Will give a crop
fit for posts on this last soil and the cop
pice growth following the cutting of the
first crop will insure a second crop in
even less time. The seeding trees cost
only $3.50 per thousand, and can probably
be raised at less expense. Allowing
1000 such trees per acre yielding three
posts each once in twenty years, hand
some return Is assured. The serious dan
ger and source of uncertainty in locust
culture is the borer. Fortunately its
worst attacks are confined to the young
trees and if these survive then the danger
is soon outgrown. 1t is said that the
use of heavier foliaged trees for one-third
the plantation in mixtures with the To-
xxvIl do
borers. White pine is considered the
best tree for this purpose in sandy soil
The reason for the especial success OF
the locust on barren soil is that as a
member of the pea family it secures its
nitrogen indirectly from the air. 1t thus
gains its own supply of this element and
at the same time enriches the soil where
it grows. This latter result is shown by
the fact that grass around locust trees
may appear even greener and more luxu
RANT than in the open field.

to minimum, an important item in
stock raising. The dry, bright weather
OF last summer, while it was bad for
the ranges, was very beneficial to the
irrigated alfalfa fields, and the weld
has been enormous.
The advantages of raising alfalfa
over grain growing are numerous.
Alfalfa takes no strength from the soil.
but rather enriches it, drawing it's
sustenance from the air and water,
while continual grain growing impov-
erishes the soil. After the grain farmer
sells his crop there is nothing left but
the land; while the alfalfa farme r
brings in stock to more than double the
value of the ranch to eat the alfalfa,
thus greatly increasing the wealth of
the country. Thus it will be seen tn at
the hay farmers will soon grow rich,
while the grain farmer is growing
poor and impoverishing his farm.
This fact is evidenced by the advance
in the price of farm lands in the Vel
lowstone in the last few years, and
since alfalfa feeding has become the
leading agricultural interest. Until
the the last six or seven years, very
few farms were worth more than $50
an acre, and raw land could be bought
for from IS to $40 an acre. Now raw
land with water right brings $40 an
acre, and improved farms sell at from
$50 to SIS an acre. It has also in
creased the value of range lands in the
neighborhood that are at present non
irrigible.

MORE DIRTY WORK
Tom Carter'S Thu9S Still Prac-

Schemes.

Still singing with defeat, not will
ing to abide by the decision of the peo-
pie of Rosebud county in the recent
election and in an effort to satisfy their
own lavish ends Tom Carter's hire
lings are getting desperate in attempt
ing to carry out the dictations of that
old whiskered reprobate and ten thous-
and dollar attorney for the Standard
Oil-Amalgamated Copper Co.
This gang has succeeded in persuad-
ing number of ignoramuses to prosti-
tute themselve by contesting the cleo
ton of men fairly elected by the peop
OF this county and imprisoning inno-
cent and respected citizens who will
not submit to the disreputable methods
being practiced by gang that would
bankrupt and despoil the fair name of
the county.
AT the recent regular session of the
county commissioners it was discovered
that Roderick McRae, w @ has been
acting as justice of the peace at Rose
bud, had not duly qualified to the Of
fice, he having not became citizen of
the United States until two months af-
ter having been appointed to the office.
He had also failed to qualify in due
time or before the proper official. AS
he had also failed to report the affairs
of the office to the commi ssoners, as
he is by law required to do, it was up
t. the board to demand McRae's
docket and declare the office vacant.
This action on the part of the
commissioners did not meet with
the approval of Carter,s political cut
throats for they yet had considerable
dirty work to accomplish and did not
wish to be deprived of McRae's services
as a catspaw.
Accordingly they persuaded McRae
to demand his docket from the board,
ard upon their refusal to comply with
the request, kangaroo court was held
and McRae declared Commissioners
Alexander. Hammond and Terret and
Clerk Bailey in contempt of court, inn
posing fines of 500 upon each of the
commissioners and $50 upon the clerk
and all to serve one day in Jail.
The sheriff's office placed the gentle
men in the county bastile, but upon the
order of Judge Loud they were taken
to Miles City and the judge demanded
their liberty upon their own recognoz-
ance and instructed them to appear be-
fore him Thursday. This was Satur-
day night and Sunday night the "pris-
oners" returned to Forsyth.
McRae, however, ignored the orders
of Judge Loud and while the board
was in session Monday the gentlemen
were again thrown in Jail. Although
the Judge again ordered their release,
the officers needed not and they were
again taken to Miles City, where their
liberty. was given them.
In the meantime Judge Loud is Civ
ing both sides a hearing and when a
decision will be reached is a question,
but it is the consensus of opinion is that
it will be no later than Saturday,
