Mrs. Marsh, wife OF &. &. Marsh
who short time ago purchased the
interest of J. S. Truscott of the hard

make her future home in Forsyth with
her husband. Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh
are comfortably domiciled at the Amer

The reception given in the school
building last evening in honor of the
visiting schoo1ma ANS was not only
largely attended but proved most
enjoyable occasion. The fore part of
the evening was taken up with vocal
| and musical entertainment after which
a dainty luncheon was served. The
event was given by the Parents club
and the manner in which the affair
was conducted entities the promoters
to much communication.
M. H. Bray and wife of Wolf creek
arrived here Friday to attend the
funeral of the formers sister, Mrs. S.
B. Merrill. This was Mr.. Bray's first
visit to this section for about twelve
years and he was naturally surprised
at the settlement of the county and
growth of Forsyth. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bray returned to their home Tuesday
evening after spending several days
with the formers father, Representa-
tive Bray, and other relatives on the
Rosebud.
The Billings Gazette says that one
of the well-informed sheep owners of
this part of the state is authority for
the statement that the men who pur-
chased sheep for feeding purposes in
Montana last fall will clean up an
average of 81 head as a result of the
investment. Rea Bros, the st. Paul
buyers, are said to have been the heav-
lest purchasers, their deals amounting
to 100, 900 head. Fully half of the
number were bought in this immediate
locality.
It is said that there is great in
crease in the demand for American
produce in the eastern countries, and
this was made apparent here Sunday
afternoon when nine cars containing
$4,000 pounds each of flour from the
Pillsbury- Washburn mills at Mime
apolis, passed through on No. 81, the
westbound freight, en- route to the
Orient and Australia. Eight cars of
the commodity were destined for Sgd
dey, Australia, while one was billed
for Hong Kong.
The school election which was held
here Saturday was one of the most
enthusiastic of its kind ever held in
the town. Two hundred and seventy
eight votes were cast Chas. B. Taber
and d. J. Muir were the two candi-
dates for the three-year term. The
votes were as follows: Taber, 116;
Muir, 159. For the one-year term,
Thos. Alexander and Bert Coleman
were candidates. Alexander received
119 votes; Coleman, 155. The free text
book system was endorsed almost
unanimously, there being but two dis
senting votes cast.

"A kalispell dispatch of April says:
The residents of Helena Flats, five
miles north of Kalispell, were terrified
last night by an earthquake. At
point on Whitefish river, where the
disturbance occurred, over five acres
OF bluff land was carried a distance of
oOO feet and deposited in the channel
of the river. The dam is over three
hundred feet long, and no trace of the
former channel can be seen. The
water is backing up and flooding the
bottom lands. The shock was felt for
over a mile, causing the houses to
shake and the dishes to rattle and fall
from the tables and the shelves. Mil
lions of feet of lumber is on it's way
down the Whitefsh river.
A bulletin has been issued announ-
cling an increase of wages for the train
men on the Northern Pacific. All
passenger conductors and brakemen
are to receive II per cent increase, and
mixed freight and passenger train and
work train conductors are to receive
Is per cent increase over the schedule
which took effect J anuary l, 1902. The
raise took effect March l. It has been
known for some time that the raise was
coming, but there has been bone of
contention between the trainmen and
headquarters. The firemen have been
insisting that they shall be paid double
for work on double-headers except on
mountain grade work. The company
has not acceded to this request, it is
said, in granting the raise. The mat
ter of fixing up a new schedule has
been before the st. Paul officials since
December.
w. B. Sleeper, one of the most in
fluential citizens and extensive stock
growers of Big Horn county, Wyo.,
was in town yesterday. He was ac-
companied by DR.. and Mrs. Townsend
of Lame Deer, the latter being Mr..
Sleeper's sister, and has been quite ill
for the past several weeks. She was
being taken to the Billings hospital to
receive better attention and medical
care than is afforded at the agency.
MIR. Sleeper has long been a resident
of the Big Horn country, has been re-
successful in the stockgrow-
ing business and has nothing but
words of praise for his section of the
He attributes the era of pros
perity that is prevalent there to the
large irrigating canal that was con-
few years ago. The settle
ment by Mormons of that district has
added wonderfully to the upbuilding
of the country and Mr.. Sleeper believes
he is justified in boasting of the town
OF Cody what no other town of it's size
in the United States can lay claim to-
a 500, 600 hotel. This was Mr.. Sleep
er's first visit here for over ten years
and as he is not parsimonious with his
praise, he naturally expressed himself
pleased at the upbuilding and settle
ment of the county and the metropolitan
airs being displayed by Rosebud coun-
tvs metropolis. He is very emphatic
in his belief that the future prosperity
of this section depends materially upon
the construction of the proposed irri-
eating canal on the north side and the
settlement of the county with energetic
farmers.

PIowIna Permanent Pastures.

The meaning of a permanent pasture
to the minds of most formers is n
that will last for an ordinary lifetime,
with occasional ~reseedings. While
there is no doubt but what this plan
of reseeding will improve many
pastures and keep them in good shape
for many years, there comes a time in
the life of most of them when the
weeds crowd out the grass and the
pasture gradually goes to pieces despite
the plan of reseeding. There will be
bare spots noticed which do not seem
to take kindly to ever the seeds of
white clover and the application of
fertilizer before reseeding does not
seem to improve the situation. When
this is found to be the case with any
permanent pasture there seems to be
but one thing to do and that to pillow
it up and put it in the best possible
condition for reseeding to blue grass
or some mixture suited to the section
and for permanent pasture. Some
times this blowing may be delayed
for a time and the pasture partly re-
j~uvenated by running over it a heavy
sharp harrow and then lightly seeding
all over; however, eventually the plow-
ing up will be needed to be done.

Feedinu Small Chicks.

If the young chick is stunted during
its first weeks of growth it is absolute
ly impossible to get it back into shape
at an expense that will be warranted
by the price at which the chick will
sell later. This being the case there
is nothing more important than proper
feeding from the time the chickens
feeding are used by different success
full breeders, the following method
is one of the best and usually brings
success: During the first two days
after Matching feed the chicks wheat
bread moistened with milk, giving
them this mixture every two or three
hours and in small quantities. For
the next week the chicks are given
Johnnycake, which is made with corn
meal and milk and baked in the oven
so that it will crumble nicely. A bet
ter cake is made of five parts OF corn
meal, one part of wheat middlings
and one-half part of beef scrap, the
whole. mixed with sour milk and
steamed thoroughly. When cool feed
this cake three times a day, alternat-
ing with three feeds of cracked wheat
fed in the litter on the floor. This
gives the chicks six feeds a day. For
the next six weeks the chicks are fed
three times a day with Johnnycake and
after that period are put on the same
food as the hens, except that the corn
or wheat given them should be crack.
cd. This method of feeding will start
the chicks off in good shape and they
will be strong and thrifty when they
are put on regular r%ations. and be
ready for the range, where they will
thrive wonderfully.

soil II the soil Is properly prepared.
The seed bed should be deep and har-
rowed several times after thorough
blowing. Seeds should be drilled in
and from two to four pounds of seed
an acre will be required. The space
between rows should be kept free from
weeds and when the plants are three
or four inches high. they should be
thinned out so that they VIII stand
Is inches apart.
1t will be necessary to keep the field
hoed or cultivated until the plants get
strong enough to overcome any weed
growth. After this no ARE is neccs-
sary until fall harvest. Under this
sort of cultivation it is possible to
grow from 600 to 1000 bushels on an
acre, according to the condition of the
soil. Carrots and turnips can be east
ly raised on the same plan, although
for general feeding the mangels are,
perhaps, more desirable.

A Rance for Poultry.

While there is no doubt but what
poultry can be raised in confinement
and hat they will lay a fair number
of eggs, there is no question but what
it will pay to have a grass run for
them in connection with the general
yard. According to the number of
fowls, the run should be large or
small, but it should be large enough
so that the fowls can no eat the grass
down too close, nor soil it too much
with their droppings. Unless the grass
plot is very small it will pay to divide
it into two parts so that the fowls may
have one part for a week while the
grass is growing On the other part.
These grass plots should be kept clean;
that is, they should not be used as
feeding places for grains. If the sea-
son is dry these grass plots should be
kept watered sc that the growth may
be kept up all summer, practically
giving fowls all the green food they
need. If poultrymen will start these
grass plots for the use of confined
fowls, and start them as early in the
spring as possible, they will find a de-
cided improvement in the egg supply
as the season advances. to say nothing
of the improved health of the fowls.
1t will pay to top-dress these grass
plots if they are not in the best of
condition SO as to get the best possible
growth.

Early Maturity of Live Stock.

Some farmers and gardeners have a
compost heap for providing fine ma
nure to flower plants and tender vege-
tables. Compost is simply fresh ma
nure mixed with muck, dirt or any
absorbent material that is in a fine
condition. The heap is kept under
cover. and If a large supply of materi-
al has been selected, making a bulky
heap, soapsuds and urine are thrown
upon the mass. 1t must be worked
over, so as to secure the decomposition
of all the materials, and if it heats
too much more dry dirt must be added.
If the farmer would treat all the ma
nure made on his farm as SO much
compost there would be a great saving
of plant food. The mechanical value
of compost is its fine mechanical con-
dition and its careful handling under
shelter,

a Valuable Adjunct.

Ensilage is valuable as a means OF
dieting the stock in winter, affording
them green, s%ucculent material when
nothing but the dry matter can be had.
For that reason, if for no other, 1t is
a valuable adjunct to the crops used
for food. The farmer who has no
ensilage, but who has laid in a crop
of mangels, sugar beets, turnips, car
rots or potatoes, will find himself for
tunate now. There is no difficulty in
feeding roots if they are properly
stored. Roots are injured more by
heat than by cold. Freezing is not
dangerous if they are not thawed too
suddenly. By keeping them at an
even temperature they will last until
late in the spring.

Onions in Hotbcds,

AS is well known, onion seed germi-
mates slowly, and weeds and grass get
the start of the young plants. 1t has
been found that by sowing tho seeds in
a hotbed and starting the onions be-
fore spring they may be transplanted
early, the same as is done with ordi-
nary SETS" they can then be cultivate
ed and the weeds and grass kept down.
Those who have tried the method
claim that 1t requires less labor than
to thin out the surplus plants when
the seed is sown On the open ground,
while the crop also comes earlier. For
a small patch 'onion sets" of the pre-
vious year should be preferred.

Cultivation of Young Forest Trees.

SQiklvdttOu VI living
After the young plants appear above
ground civilizations should be about
once a week the season through. Late
in October or early in November these
seedlings should be cut under, pulled,
counted and tied in bundles of so or
100, and buried entirely in earth until
the following spring. 1t is we'll also
to mulch the winter beds wherein the
seedlings are buried so that they may
not dry out during winter.
In planting. a convenient method,
after thoroughly preparing the ground,
is to mark as for corn AKA feet requlr-

Does 1t Pay to FertiIize7

One CT tho arguments against heavy
fertilizing of the soil is that the crop
does not always pay for the fertilizer
and labor. 1t is argued that to fertilize
for a corn crop, for example, in a
heavy way, would not be profitable for
the reason that the crop would have
to be a phenomenal one 20 bring in
enough to pay for fertilizer and labor
at the average price for which corn
sells. This is undoubtedly true If it
is assumed that all o~btainable from the
investment of fertilizer and labor is
the one crop, but we have no right
to assume this, for, as a matter of
fact, full one-half of the cost OF the
fertilizer, provided it is heavy fer
tilizer which the corn does not use,
and which will be left in the soil for
the benefit of following crops. OF
course, this result would not obtain
If the fertilizing was but sufficient to
carry the crop, in which case, OF course,
the expense of getting the crop would
be corTespondingly small, as would
the crop itself.
If we fertilize not only for the
benefit of the crop, but for one up
building of the soil as we'll, it is
certainly more profitable than fertiliz-
ing just enough to get the crop OF
fair proportions. Working in this
way is too close to the danger line.

Root Crops for Stock.

There is not a farmer in business
but who can readily spare an acre or
two of ground on which to grow root
crops. If he has any number of heads

profit than the small area named put
into root crops. Malgel wurzels are
