This morning the caucuses were re,
newed and plans revised, occurrences
and developments of the night having
in some instances interfered with
those matured the night before.
The Convention Opens.
! Because of the excellent manage:
ment displayed by the local committee
no confusion ensued as the differen.
delegations entered the hall Ushers
and dOorkeepers directed them to the
places reserved for them and in few
minutes all were seated.
1t was 1915 o'clock when, after a
medley of inspiring airs by the Mon
tana State band, which was seated on
the stage, Chairman Lindsay of the
state committee called the meeting to
order and asked all to arise to listen
to an invocation to the Deity by the
chaplain, the Reverend c. E. Miller, of
the Methodist church of this city. :
The appearance of Mr.. Lindsay was
the signal for an outburst of applause
and some time elapsed before the
chaplain could proceed with his
prayer.
The band played THE Star Spangled
Banner" while the audience remained
standing. At the conclusion, ]. B.
Collins, secretary of the state COM
mittee read the call for the conven-
ton.
Chairman Lindsay now called the
convention to order He spoke of the
great pleasure the people Of Billings
felt in having SO many visitors from
all parts of the state. For the time
political lines were eliminated and all
united in an effort to make their stay
as pleasant as possible. Billings and
eastern Montana were not insensible
to the great honor conferred upon
them by the republicans of the state
in deciding to hold their convention
here and when the votes were counted
next November proof of this would be
given in increased majorities for the
ticket nominated today.
When the party held its convention
in Great Falls it was regarded as GER
tain that success would attend it at
the ensuing election. The great wave
of democracy which had swept the
mountain states of the west two years
before had not yet spent itself and
the ticket was defeated Continued
prosperity under republican national
administration had brought the peo-
pie to their senses and they would
vote accordingly next fall.
The speaker struck the note of D
hope cherished by many east of the
main range when he said that when
Billings next asked for convention
it might as the metropolis of a new
state. Through the efforts of Theo-
dore Roosevelt national irrigation
made it possible to create new mem

tory east of the Rockies. But whether
this should happen or not, the fact
remained that the plains and valleys

Cure for Sick Headache.

We had a letter the other day from
a lady in the town of Boulder, Colo,
that should be of interest to people
who are troubled with spells of sick
headache. She writes that she had
these spells about four times a week,
was obliged to go to bed and remain
there from S to 10 hours each time.
Had been troubled this way for sew
eral years, and the attacks became
more frequent. Doctors done her no
good. she tried dieting, as every body
said it was from her stomach. Seeing
an advertisement of DIR. Gums I'm.

cure sick headache by removing the
cause, she decided to try once more,
and sent soc for two boxes. She said
she had taken the last pill more than
four months ago, has not had a sick
spell of any kind for over FIVE months.
Druggists sell these pills for 25e per
box. 1t only takes one for a dose.
They cure sick headache every time.

rows the wagon should take them to
the barn. Tie best arrangement for
hauling is to put foundation on the
holsters of the wagon, higher than the
level of the wheels by two or three
inches Then attach thin planks to
this, so that the surface will extend
over the wheels The usual size of this
surface will extend over the wheels
The usual size of this surface is eight
feet wide and twelve feet long. This
gives a surface of ninety-six square
feet to place the crates upon. This
will carry from twelve to fourteen
crates without bruising any tobacco
whatever. Where it is hauled in wagon
bodies a great deal of it is bruised.
After the tobacco is taken to the barn
it is strung on sticks. The sticks used
are about four feet four inches long
The thread used is ordinary wrapping
cotton twine. A notch is cut in one
end Of the stick, and the thread is fas-
tened in it. Then the tobacco is strung
on it in way that it is impossible to
describe in writing.
About three or four leaves are put
on bunch and about thirty punches
put to one stick The lunches are plac-
ed alternately one ON one side, the next
on the other Four or five good sting
ers can string a barn of 1000 tol 200
sticks in one day.
After stringing it is taken into the
barn and placed. The sticks are plac-
ed from six to twelve inches apart on
the tier poles and not more than 1000
to 1,200 sticks placed in 20 by 20 foot
barn. After the barn is filed, which
is generally done on Monday. the to-
bacco is ready for curing.

Cattleyas are easily the most popular

higher temperature. all the varieties
named do well in a night temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees in winter or even a.
few degrees lower. They like an
abundance of ventilation on all possible
occasions and succeed well in baskets,

The Cultivated Ginseng.

The ginseng most in demand for ex-
portation is large and heavy Except
in case Of specimens resembling the
human form, the less the root is branch
ed the better. These three attributes
size, weight and smoothness-are most
frequently attained in the cultivated
beds, where on account of the frequent
transplanting the seedlings produce
comparatively few branching roots. but
have great numbers of minute fibrous
rootlets which rub off during the wash
ing and drying processes with no ap-
preciable DETACHMENT of the main root.
In drying the cultivated roots require
less time and shrink less than the roots
from the forest On account of their
better appearance they command a
higher figure in the market. 1t is COM
mon for the ginseng dealers to give
better prices for superior root, and the
cultivated, as a rule, obtains this adj
yanced fgure.-G. VNash.

AMATEUR ORCHID CULTURE.
Some Varieties Can Be Easily Grown
In the Dwelling House.

We believe the idea, once SO prev
alent, of orchids being difficult to grow
and flower is now pretty well exploded
Most of the popular varieties are of
comparatively easy culture, and no one
who is able to grow roses and carna-
tions need be afraid to handle orchids
Many kinds will succeed we'll in any
ordinary greenhouse, and we have on
more than one occasion seen nicely
fowered specimens grown in dwelling
houses. Such sorts as Dendrobium
Mobile, Cypripedium insigne, Lycaste
skinneri and Coelogyne cristata will
flower satisfactorily in an ordinary
bay window if frost is excluded and a
little judgment is used in watering and
other essential details.
The general impression is that or
chids are very costly and only to be
secured by the wealthy. While it is
true that their primary cost is higher
than most other plants, they usually
give their initial cost in flowers the
first season. and especially is this true

TOBACCO GATHERING.
@RoIIer Crates" That May BE Made
variousIy Useful on the Farm.

&Ro1Ier Crates That May BE Made
VariousIy Useful on the Farm.
BY t. B. YOUNG, Clemson College, South
Carolina.
Tobacco in South Carolina ripens at
the bottom of the stalk first, while in
most other states it ripens either at
the top first or uniformly down the
stalk at the same time Tobacco in
this state rarely ever ripens down the
stalk uniformly enough to cure the
whole stalk at one time. We usually
make four or five groupings or gath
erings before we get it ALL The leaf
should be well yellowed before it is
pulled It shows a kind of grain
before it is ready to be gathered. 1t
takes experience to tell ripe leaf up
on first sight Green leaves should
never be pulled.
When the tobacco begins to ripen,
which may be anywhere from the last
Of June to the first of September. the
bottom leaves are cropped off This
is very simple process and is done by
the laboring class. One cropper will
get in between two rows and carry
both at the same time Another la
borer, called crate or basket carrier,
will get in between each two troopers
and carry baskets for them to put to-
bacco in.
Some planters use baskets to gather
tobacco in, but in my opinion the best
and the cheapest thing to use is a
crate The materials to make one can
be bought for cents, and work
man can make fifteen or twenty a day
1t requires two end and six side pieces,
end pieces eighteen inches wide by
twelve inches high and one inch thick
side pieces five inches wide by five
feet long and three-quarters inch thick.
The crate is carried on a roller
which is also made on the farm. Take
a little wheel from five to eight inches
in diameter, put an axle through it and
attach shafts. A small boy at 20 cents
per day is sufficient to pull one of these,
When the crate is filed it is rolled
to the end of the row. Another boy
with an empty crate should be there
to take his place.
When sufficient number of full
crates are taken to the end of the
