FORGETTING THE cow.
Faithful Friend Has Tided Many
q Farmer Over Periods Of
Cruel DepressiOn.

Perhaps it is not altogether to be
regretted that when prosperity comes
and nature smiles man is apt to forget
the times of adversely, says Wallace's
Farmer. At the same time it is un-
grateful, to say the least, to forget the
instrumentality that pulled him
through, and it is foolish TO suppose
that adversely is banished for good and
prosperity will continue forever. 1t is
not many years since the dairy COW
stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money was
scarce. Prices Of grain, Of beef cattle
and other stock were low. Prospects
did not seem very bright to the farmer.
In thisemergency the dairy cow stood
between many farmer and hardship.
She brought in cash every week or
month. She bought shoes for the chill
dren. dresses for the women folk and
well, in some cases. perhaps, tobacco
for the men. She enabled some farm
ers to float over the period of depres-
sion comfortably and many to swim
where without her they would have
sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig,
the horse, the steer. the grain, are all
bringing good prices. Money is plen-
tiful and cheap. Bank accounts are car
rying a comfortable surplus. Under
these conditions many farmer is for
getting the good old COW that pulled
him though. He is allowing the calf to
run with her. He is forgetting and his
children are not learning how to milk.
The usefulness of the COW for the dairy
is being destroyed. When the turn Of
the tide comes and the farmer must
turn to the COW again, she will not be
able to serve him as she did before. not
through any fault of hers, but because
Of his neglect.
Men cannot farm high-priced land
on horseback. Neither can they always
afford to sit on the fence and watch
the calf do the milking;

THE GROWTH OF TREES.
Processes of Nature Are Wonderful
Indeed, Hut They Always work
with Logical Precision.

Prof. E. S. Croft: In the first place.
we have the root system which absorbs
water from the ground and brings this
water together at the base of the
trunk. The roots have an absorptive
system of their own and theig nature
is to draw in water with more or less
vigor. Then whensthe water is taken
to the trunk, the fibers of the trunk
tend to lift the water by capillarity, and
the buds above are not only expending
the water above. but they are filled. with
protoplasm which has an affinity for.
water, and so we have force that
draws the water from the roots into
the top. 1t is principle well known
in physics that when water passes
through Q tube it will pass with more
force through straight tube than it
will through a crooked tube, and that
every bend we make in the tube would
reduce the force to that extent. 1t
follows that the buds Of an apple tree,
or any other tree, that are in the most
direct communication with the axis of
growth, with the trunk, are the ones
that will receive the most water Every
time the branch grows, that branch
does not receive quite as much water
as the branch before it turns, and il
that branch subdivides, the secondary
branch receives less than the primary
branch, and SO on, the more it branches
the less water it receives, and the less
vigor it has and the less it grows; it is
this principle that determines the form
OF the tree. You know, as the tree
tends to grow upright, the terminal
buds receive more water than any
other buds, because they are in the
most direct line with the source of wa
ter; every branch that grows less
somewhat in vigor:~ BY and by, when
the tree attains a height so great that
the distance from the roots is so great
it overbalances the fact that the termi-
nal buds are in direct communication
with the axis of the vigor, the upper
most branches will dominate, and after
time the tree will come to an equilib-
mum, the branches will grow just as
much as the terminal shoots, and we
will have full grown, developed tree.

LANDLoRDIsM IN AMERICA,

Farm tenantry in the United States
Il on the increase. Census bureau sta
tistics show that there were 2,o2s,2Ss
farm tenants in the United States in
1900 The increase for the past 2oyears
il estimated at s7I per cent. These fig-
ures would indicate that there really
IA grave danger of landlordism in this
country.
At the present time. more than a
third Of the farms in Kansas and Ne
braska are operated by tenants. In
view of this. 1t behooves the govern
nent jealously to supervise the sale of
the remaining public lands. especially
in Oregon and other states and terri
tories where irrigation is to be intro
auced on large scale. For more than
a year past land syndicates have re-
sorted TO all kinds of cozenase to ac-
Quire possession of large tracts of land
which. If put under irrigation, would be
Of the utmost value and promise. In
various sections Of Nebraska, the cat
tie barons are said to be extremely ac-
tive in this unlawful land grabbing.
They know full well that their day Of
undisputed supremacy Is fast drawing
to close. They hate and fear the
small and honest homesteader. In fur
thering heir plans of acquiring many
thousands of acres of land, they do not
hesitate to circumyent the provisions
of the federal homestead Law through
despicably ingenious devices of brib-
cry.
Considering the unlimited possibilities
Of agricultural development which the
Newlands irrigation act holds out, to-
gether with the rapid diIninution of the
public domain. there is the most potent
reason why the government authorities
should be stricter than ever in superin-
tending the disposition of the land
that is still left. We do not want any
landlordism in this country. We want
homesteads, not lordly domains. The
government can no longer afford to be
lax and liberal in the sale Of land
which belongs to the nation.
The national homestead law proved
one Of the most statesmaniike pieces Of
legislation ever enacted in any nation
or III any age; 1t did much to. bring
about our countrys phenomenal and
unprecedented growth in poulation,
wealth and industry. And there is ev-
cry indication that the national irri-
cation law will prove an equally stim-
ulative and beneficial economic factor.
The FEDERAL treasury is ready to begin
tc spend millions of dollars upon lr-
rigation works. The fund available for
this purpose is growing apace. Two
decades hence, large tracts OF land now
u.iarable, will have been converted in
tofertile land of the greatest product
ivity. And it would be sorry and
dlsheartening spectacle, if at that time
sach land should be held by greedy
monopolists and not By small upbuild-
ing farmers.
Tenantry means ruinous exploitation
of agricultural resources. 1t is not In
accord with republican institutions. 1t
makes for a landed aristocracy, for
widening of the gulf between upper
and lower classes, for eccanic distress
and political corruption and decay.

Republicans Decide Not to Place
Ticket in Field.
v The republicans, at a final meet
ing held last night at the Office of o.
F. Goddard, determined not to make
politics an issue at the forthcoming
city election. This course was decid-
ed upon after a full discussion of the
subject and with a knowledge of the
fact that the democrats propose to
nominate a partisan ticket.
Already there are two candidates in
the field on a non-partisan ticket for
mayor. These are: Charles Spear
and Doctor Rinehart. The democrats
propose to pit a man against both.
1t is said that Fred H. Foster may
be induced to become the candidate
OF the unwashed.

EXPRESS THEIR SORROW.

Last evening a meeting of the mis-
sionary committee of st. Luke's
Protestant Episcopal church was held
for the purpose of taking fitting action
concerning the death of Mrs. Brewer,
wife of Bishop Brewer of the Mon
tana diocese. The following resolu-
tions were adopted:
I'VE, the members of st. Luke's
missionary committee, Billings, Mont,
desire to express ur sorrow, and
that of the congregation, on learning
of the bereavement our bishop has
been called upon to endure by the loss
of his universally loved wife.
"We desire to extend our deepest
sympathy to our bishop and his af-
iicted family, and we pray God that
they may have Divine companionship
and consolation in their time of need.
1--WE desire further that our rector,
the Reverend j. ]. Bowker, proceed
to Helena as the representative of
this mission, to be present at the fun
eral of Mrs. Brewer.
THAT a copy of these resolutions be
sem to Il bishop, and also be in
serted in the Montana Churchman,
and in our local papers"
