Concerning Your Home.

from the number OF inquiries it ap
pears that the object OF the Billings
Building and Loan Association has not
been fully understood.
Slime people have thought that the
association built houses and then sold
them on the installment plan.
While that is practically the result,
the method must be viewed from an
other standpoint.
The association is not a charitable
organization-it is a business con
Germ, intended to make money in three
ways: First, by providing a safe in
vestment for local capital; second,
by saving money for local home
builders; third, by retaining both the
earnings and savings in Ballings.
It is composed of local bankers,
professional and business men, who
will profit indirectly by the home use
OF the money used.
Its objects are to assist the man.
Wlth-a-family, and the man-who-is-
going-to-get a family to get a home
for that family. Assist" mind you,
not give" him a home.
That assistance is given only to
those who show themselves worthy.
1t is a plain business proposition
whose new methods make it philan-
thropic in effect.

TURNS FARMER.
Sheepman Will Grow Apples and
Sugar Beets.

Corbet Bennett, who for IL years
has been a prominent sheepman, has
purchased a fine tract of ground two
miles southwest of the city and will
devote his time to building a home
and apple growing. He arrived re-
Gently with several loads of goods
from his former home on Sage creek,
Wyo., coming by way of Clarks' Fork.
On the way down he stopped at the
Yellowstone nursery at Rockvale and
ordered 1000 apple trees and several
hundred trees of other sorts, among
which was 200 Carolina poplars for
shade trees.
1t is understood he will grow sugar
beets between the rows of trees for
the first five years, at which time the
apples are supposed to be in full bear
ing.
Mr.. Bennett has noticed that the
home grown trees do much better than
imported ones, and speaking of the
quality Of the home grown apples
grown at the nursery he compared
winter apples grown ait the nursery
with the same variety from Washing
ton and found the home grown apples
far superior. d&sw1

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of thls lie, Its big enJoyments and its smaller comforts, there Is an offset or antithesis which We have to contend with in the form of aches and pains. In some way and by some means every one has a touch of them Tn some form at some time. 1rlttlng as some of them may be, the risk Is that they will grow to something greater and rack the system with con stant torture. There is nothing, there fore, of this kind that we have a right to trltie with. Taken in time, the worst forms of aches and pains are easily sub dued and cured by the free use of St. Jacobs Ol.

SIGNS OF DEER

like the wings of butterfly The next instant it wheeled. and sprang away up the hill it's broad white tail in the air Barring its path was a clump of bushes; at least five feet high they looked from where I stood, but, turn ing neither to the right nor the left, the 1.-the creature simply rose in 8 graceful arc, and cleared them as a bird might have done On reaching a safe distance. the deer stopped, turned round and looked at us again for a mo- ment. and then, with a scornful f1irt of the tail. trotted into the woods
 On every hand were signs of deer sometimes well-trodden paths through the snow. at other times a single trail And my guide gave each a glance in passing. occasionally calling attention to some peculiarity in the footprints That deer was lame" he would say or that track was made by a last years fawn. On examination the truth of the statement was blair enough, but this mans examination consisted of glance
 Once as we were making our way down little valley, the bottom ol which was marked by foaming pitching torrent, three large birds flew over head, screaming wildly. I asked the guide what they were and he saiC they were woOdpeckers, and from his description of the birds it was easy tc identify them as pileated woodpeckers a species with which I am not person ally familiar And few minutes later ing on tree, though had we not been several miles from any dwelling, should have thought for a moment that it was a carpenter mailing clapboards on a house. So powerful are these birds that they sometimes cut down large trees in their search for insects.
 Several times during our tramp. we saw small herds of deer file past through the trees, and once far away upon a bare hill top, we caught sight of a COW moose Now and then we came upon a porcupine, or hedgehog as my guide called him. and we always stopped for minute to hear the "porky" whine his disapproval at our interruption of his meal, and to watch the clumsy fellow climb little further out of our reach. Foxes we did not see, but, judging from their tracks they must have been plentiful. fact which doubtless accounted for our see ing but one ruffed grouse during the whole days tramp.
 With these and few o-her creatures my guide and I amused ourselves until nightfall, when we trudged homeward past the sugarhouses on the roadside, whence issued the smoke of burning wood and the odor of boiling sap.

A DAY IN THE FOREST
SOME INTERESTING THINGS TO
 BE FOUND IN THE WOODS.
Eenest Harold Baynes Describes the Pleasures of an Early Spring Ex- ploration-When the Sap
 Begins to Flow.

One night recently found myself at a neat New Hampshire farmhouse, which stands on the border of a forest which l expected to explore on the fol- lowing day. The country was new to, me, and l had arranged for a guide to take me where l wished to go. arose at daylight, to hear robins, bluebirds and red-winged blackbirds calling across the brown fields, and by the time the sun was up I had had breakfast and was ready for the start. There was still plenty of snow in the woods. ana on the hills. so we slung our snow shoes on our backs and set out.
 Presently We came to the point where we were to enter the forest and here We knelt to put on our snowshoes My guide, with a skill born of long practice, twisted the long. elkhide thongs about his feet and ankles. and was ready before I had one shoe fairly adjusted.
 We had been walking perhaps ten minutes when the guide said Hist" and, following the direction of his eyes, l saw standing on a hillside above us a deer quietly browsing at a patch of brown grass which the sun had cleared of snow It was quite unconscious of our presence as we stood there, but as We started forward again 1t caught the sound, and raising it's pretty head started straight at us For just a mo- ment We saw the full face, with the long ears standing out on either side
