Barbed Wire Phone Lines

Montana ranchmen certainly lead the world in the use of barbed wire for telephone communication. The Butte Inter- Mountain states that "they are preparing to have barbed wire telephone exchange which will take in every ranch from the Missouri river north to the Canadian line, starting at Fort Benton, and from there south to the Highwood mountains. When the line is finished the ranchman in north ern Montana will only have to step to his phone to be in connection with any city in the state." Where ranches do not join, short line ot wire is put in and the connection is made.

The Alfalfa Bacon Hog

Southern California more than any other part of the country should profit by a study of the proposition embraced in the following news item from one of the Colorado papers: "Denver in- tends to create a new sphere of hog production and new kind of hog" said George w. Ballentine of Denver. "It will be the alfalfa bacon hog. Montana, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Kansas and Nebraska will raise them. They will not come in contact with the lard hog marketed so plentiful in Chicago, but will have sphere of use- fulness peculiarly their own. Ever see hog eat alfalfa? saw bunch at Denver turn up their noses at corn the other day. When the owner saw the grain before them, he shouted: 'here -, give them alfalfa and the way they pitched into that hay was caution. All the mountain states can raise pease and with that and alfalfa we can put up baon hog calculated to furnish breakfast meat for the world"

IAN ILLUSTRATED VILLAGE.
Little Swiss Town One of the Quaint.
 est In Europe.

eht HI EurOpes
 When next you go to the Lake of Geneva, by all means pay visit to the little known village of St. Legier, near by, on the road between Vevey and Blonay, one of the quaintest viii lages in Europe and one of the proud est on account of its extraordinary adornments. St. Legier and the adjoin- ing village of La Chiesaz are nothing more or less than illustrated villages. They are as profusely illustrated as the modern magazine, for nearly all the houses bear on their outside walls some striking picture or comical cari- cature from the brush of great man In the village, NJ. Alfred Beguin Il painter of local renown and not un- known in Paris, says Pearson's Maga- zine.
 A house in St. Legier has no use for signboard to tell the world that it is an inn, cycle shop. forge or dairy. NJ. Beguin's picture does that. On stable wall he draws a picture of q spirited runaway horse knocking down men as he leaps for freedom; on the white wall of the little village forge are pictures of men making horseshoes for dear life and shoeing frisky steed; on the wall of the dairy a dairy maid balances q pail of milk on her head, while scenes of local life, as pie lures of the annual summer exodus to the mountain pastures with the COWS and goats. and caricatures of the local bigwigs make bright picture gal lery of the village. M. Beguin lives in one of the most imposing houses in St. Legier, whence he obtains full view of the crooked little village street and of the Dent du Jaman towering up in the distance. For many years past he has amused himself by painting the houses, and in the first place he &C., quired most of his skill and boldness in painting in this way.-Detroit Free Press.

GEORGE ELlOT'S FACE.
Said to Have Been n Combination of
 Dante md SavOnarOla.

A close friend of George Eliots, writing of her personal appearance said
 "She was not, as the world in gen. eral Is aware, handsome or even . personable woman. Her face was long; the eyes not large or beautiful in color-they were, think, of gray ish blue: the hair, which she wore in old fashioned braids, coming low down on either side of her face, of a rather light brown. It was streaked with gray when last saw her. Her figure was of middle height, large boned and powerful. Lewes often said that she inherited from her peasant ancestors frame nnl constitution originally very robust. Her head was finely formed. with noble and well bal. anced arch from brow to crown. The lips and mouth possessed power of infinitely varied expression.
 George Lewes once said to me, when made some observation to the effect that she had sweet face q meant that the face expressed great sweetness) You might say what . sweet hundred faces! look at her sometimes ia amazement. Her coun- tenance is constantly changing
 ''The said lips and mouth were dis tinctly sensuous in form and fullness. She has been compared to the portraits of Savonarola (who was frightfuD and of Dante (who, though stern and bitter looking. was handsome). Something there was of both faces in George Eliot's physiognomy.
 "Lewes told us in her presence of the exclamation uttered suddenly by some one to whom she was pointed out at a place of public entertainment. That said bystander. is George Eliot The gentleman to whom she was thus indi- cated gave one swift. searching look and exclaimed, sOtto voce, 'Dante's aunt! Lewes thought this happy. and he recognized the kind of likeness that was meant to the great singer of the Divine Comedy. She herself playfully disclaime any resemblance to SavOna- rola. But. although such resemblance was very distant-Savonarola's pecul- iarly unbalanced countenance being a strong caricature of hers--some like ness there was"

Topping Grape Vines

The Queensland Agricultural Journal tells of an experiment. in which grape vines were topped about foot above the lowest punches of grapes shortly after the berries had set, and twice afterward when the lateras had made growth enough to allow it. The result was that the grapes on the topped vines ripened week later than those on the vines not so treated, and the former contained 3.5 per cent less sugar. The conclusion reached was that such topping is not profitable.
 Topping is not necessary with those varieties which make round, we'll formed head, as most short pruners do, and with certain long pruners it is necessary in order to keep the vines in shape and to form sufficient shade for the punches of fruit. With Flaming Tokay it is necessary on account of the tender skin of the fruit, which burns when it is exposed to the sun. This variety is late kind and It's chief value lies in its being late, together with its fine color. One slight pruning of the young shoots when they are about two feet beyond the last punches will allow the branches to remain erect, and with their once branching will afford ample shade for the tender fruit and yet give plenty of light to color it well, other conditions being favorable. If this variety were topped within a foot of the bottom punches and the latterals topped twice again, the grapes would be very poor in color, for they would be in dense shade. There is a striking example here where part of a row of Tokays was topped as we advocate, and the remain der of the row left untopped. The untopped portion has long branches which bend to the ground and expose the grapes to the glare of the sun in number of cases, while the vines in the topped portions stand erect with symmetrical heads which cast glim- mering shade all through the lower portion of the vines. This topping should be done before the shoots start to bend over and make an open center and no attention should be given to the stage of growth of the fruit.
 Very often long pruners which are tied to stakes, will lop over and ex- pose the fruit to the direct rays of the sun if the tops are not pinched back during the rampant growth. The top ping should be done with sharp knife, or better still hand sickle with notches ground in the blade so as to make an edge like that of Christy bread knife. If the notches are made an inch deep and sharpened to the bottoms, the tops will not slip out of the sickle when the cutting stroke is made. By swinging such an implement over the tops of the vines so as to re- move the tender ends which reach out, no severe cutting will be done. Where the canes are cut off where they have grown to be half an inch in diameter and are fbrous, the vine loses much.

IN FIELD OF HUSBANDRY
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO FARMER
 AND 0RCHARDIST
Concentrating Milk-Combat Worms on Cabbage Riverside Melon Crop-Mustard Growing ln- dustry-Large Wheat Crop-Barbed Wire Phone Lines

A movement is on foot in Nebraska to consolidate the creameries into a trust.
 The wheat crop in Eastern Washing. ton will be large this year, though will not exceed last years record yield. Harvesting will not be in full swing till about August 1st, being about three weeks late.
 There is nothing gained by one single cross of birds where both are thorough breds. If the breeder desires fowl tor specific purpose he has them already made to his hand. Systematic crossing always results in breeding a new variety.
 A Swiss scientist has discovered a method of concentrating milk by an- other process than that of evaporating the water by means of a vacum pan and pump. The new method, which is being tried in England, is reported to be giving satisfaction in factories on the continent of Europe.
 H. L. Requa, managear of the Coach- ella Land and Water company near Indio, says that the press reports of the total destruction of the melon crop of this company in Riverside county are badly exaggerated. While some dam age was done by the hot weather, the company is averaging three cars of melons per day right along. They ex- pect to send out 150 carloads this year.
 Sarcity of labor is the cry from all parts of the coast. Harvest operations are delayed and, what is worse, on account of the perishable nature of the product, gathering the fresh fruit crop. A few more of the hot days of the past week, and all the apricots will be out of the way, either picked or scalded, and everything will be in readiness for the peach crop, which gives promise of being big one.
 Los Angeles capitalists are interest ing themselves in the mustard growing industry of the Lompoc valley where nearly all the mustard grown in the United States is raised. Hundreds of acres of the finest mustard is about ready for harvesting. Heretofore the main, and probably only drawback has been lack of fuel, but with the devel- opment of the wells of local oil com pany this may be overcome.-Cai- fornia Cultivator.
 EProbably the best and cheapest way to combat worms on cabbage is simply to sprinkle salt on the infested heads, says Field and Farm. From the moment the salt is applied the worms cease to feed and in an hour or two they drop from the heads to the ground. Results quite as good have been ob- tained when the salt was desolved in water. Applied with sprinkling pot, the brine proved very unpleasant to the worms. Another remedy is to get five cents worth of cayenne pepper, put it in the keaettle and make a strong tea. When cool put it in bottle and squirt some of it on each head or sprinkle with whisk broom out of a pan in which the tea has been poured

don from Queenstown, and it is eX-
pected that the new man will look
into the trouble. Furthermore, the
question of a parcels post with the
United States is up for discussion,
and Mr.. Chamberlain is known to be
deeply interested in that subject.
1t speaks we'll for the younger
Chamberlain that his fathers bitter
est enemies-he has wonderful col
lection of enemies-have had little
criticism to offer over the sons APP
pointment to succeed the marquis Of
Londonderry. The rich and ornate
marquis got the place because he had
a political pull, was rather sore at
the government, and had to be pla-
Gated. Even the conservatives admit
that he was about the most ineffi-
cient postmaster general ST. Mar
's-le-Grand had ever seen.
Young Chamberlain, on the con-
trary, is quiet, level-headed bust
neess man, who can be depended
upon to make the fusty permanent
officials in the post Office sit up.
Their motto apparently is: 'It must
be done thus, for thus it always has
been done.''

who will be 40 next year, is about
the same age as his second STEP

opportunity for cutting out great
future for himself by reforms in

EnIisted Forty Years Ago,
Boy of Seventeen.

Mai. Gen. Arthur Macarthur, who
is at present in command of the de-
partment of the east, the most i'm
portanU military station in the
United States, has risen from the
ranks, literally. He is at present
stationed at Governors island, in
New York harbor, and has command
of $1,000 infantrymen. Gen. MacAr-
thur will remain in command of the
rival of Gen. Chaffee, who has been
ordered home from the Philippines,
and who will come home late in the
fall. After that Gen. Chaffee will as
sumo command at Governors island
and Gen. Macarthur will return to
Chicago and resume command of the
department of the lakes.
Gen. Macarthur is not a graduate
of any military academy nor has he
ever received any instruction in war
fare beyond what he has received on
the battlefield, but he has proved
himself a capable and even great
general since the opportunity was of
tered in the war in the Philippines.
At II years of age young MacAr-

THEY SOUGHT QUAIL
But the Englishman's Dogs Got
Polecats Instead.
They Liked q Strong Scent and Had
No Difficulty in Finding It-One
of Senator Vests Best
Hunting Stories.

Senator Vest has told many stories,
but one experience of his has not
reached the general reader. 1t oc-
CURED many years ago, but the SEN
ator, telling it not long ago, was
still chuckling.
In his younger days Senator Vest
was an ardent hunter and an author
ity on the wild life of the prairies. He
was living on the advance line of civil
cation and his home was known far
and wide for it's cordial and abundant
hospitality. There Mr.. Vest one day
received visit from rich and famous
hunter from London who brought
letter of introduction from friend
living in the English capital. And the
Englishman had brought with him his
own hunting dogs. Senator Vest had
press his surprise, but the Englishman
asked him to wait and see. They drove
for many miles and finally the wagon
was left in care of the men, and Mr..
Vest and the Englishman started out
on the quest. They did well. The dogs
of the Englishman were not worth
much, but the Missouri breed gave ex-
cellent sport.
Just wait and give my dogs a
chance" declared the Englishman.
"All they need is a stronger scent"
They got it," said the senator, tell
ing the story to New York Sun man.
"Yes, they got it. Some distance
away was little hill and in the side
of the little hill were little holes. Sud-
denly the Englishman's dog got the
stronger scent and started for the lit
tie hill with the little holes.
"'Call them back l shouted to the
Englishman.
"'Oh, no. he replied Now they've
got it. Now they've got it,"
"'They will get it if they don't keep
away from there answered. But
with all I could do could not call him
back. He would not listen and he got
so excited that he started on a run af-
ter his dogs.
