with all the solemnity at their com-
mand that they had had no intention
of appropriating the porker to their

the aerie. Upon this admission the
owner of the pig was tried and the
judgment was that he should carry
out the intent of the three. He &C.
cepted the decree of the court and
sent the pig to the meeting last night,
nicely roasted, with his compliments.

A circular letter has been issued by
the state milk and meat inspection
commission, addressed to. the various
inspectors, in which rigid rules are
laid down for the government Of dairy
men who may deliver milk to prem
ises where contagious or infectious
diseases exist. The regulations were
adopted at a meeting of the board
held at Helena a Jews days ago.
The letter to the inspectors is as fol-
lows:
"At a meeting of the state meat and
milk inspection commission, Novem-
Der %. it was ordered that the various
inspectors throughout the state be
notified to instruct all dairymen thai
in delivering milk to families where
contagious diseases exist, places of
residence, hotels, hospitals and other
habitations where bottles are used in
the delivery of milk, no bottles or
other receptacles shall be under any
circumstances removed from such
places where such contagious or infec-
tious disease has terminated until the
premises are properly ~disinfected and
the quarantine or such premises re-
leased by the proper health authori-
ties.
"Such bottles or other milk recep-
tacles, after removal from the place
where contagious or infectious disease
has existed, must be thoroughly steam
sterilized before against being used in
the delivery of milk.
Where milk is delivered in bulk
or from the can or other receptacle,
then the person receiving such milk
shall set the receptacle at some con
venient place in the yard or entirely
outside of such premises, into which
the diaryman must pour the milk
without entering the premises.
"It is further ordered that under
10 circumstances shall any dairyman
enter any building of any character
in which contagious or infectious dis
eases exist until after such premises
have been thoroughly fumigated and
the quarantine thereon released by
the proper health officials. This order

inspectors are hereby ordered to
carefully observe the method of milk

if milkmen or their employees are
found violating any of the above or
dered regulations, you are directed to
at once cause the arrest of such per

from Fridays Daily.
Through the generosity of the loca.
aerie of Eagles cheer and plenty OBJ
tanned in a number of households yes
terday in which there would have been
but little cause Of gratitude and hap
piness otherwise.
A number of days ago the officers OF
the aerie notified the members of the
Salvation army and the ladies of the
Presbyterian church that a sum OF
money had been voted for the benefit
OF the poor families of the city, and
they were requested to secure the
names of those in need and to under.
take distribution of the relief the
Eagles were prepared to grant them.
The two bodies accordingly made a
thorough canvass and found about a
dozen households they believed to be
worthy of assistance. Instead OF
merely presenting each with a tur-
key and the accessories, as is usually
done, the Eagles directed that they
be supplied generously with all the
necessaries. The amount of money ap-
propriated was large enough to supply
the needy ones with everything, in
GLIDING clothing, as we'll as food and
fuel, and happiness was brought to
many to whom the coming of the day
had held out little of pleasure and joy.

NEW VARIETIES OF ALFALFA.
Government Will Introduce severa.
IN This Locality.

Government Will Introduce Several
IN This Locality.
From Fridays Daily.
Although the ordinary alfalfa, as
grown hereabouts, has proved about
an ideal forage plant, the agricultural
department is Preparing to introduce
several new varieties for the purpose
Of testing the value of other kinds.
Arrangements to this end are now
making and by the close of next sea-
son patches of foreign alfalfa will
probably be growing in the valley.
Charles w. Brand, a representative
of the department of agriculture, was
in the city a few days ago to examine
local conditions and interest some OF
the farmers in the new seed which it
is purposed to test here. Some of it
was obtained by the government in
Russia, Egypt, Algeria and other for
eign countries, while some was pro-
duced in other states in this country.
Interest is given the intended expert
ments by the fact that some of the
seed vas secured from non-irrigated
land and it is believed that a plant
has been found that will grow on the
bench lands hereabouts, as it differs
from the ordinary varieties in requir-
ing but little moisture.
Several farmers have agreed to try
the different seeds and will keep
careful watch and report the results
of the experiments to the department.

beets to the factory Is all that one
may require outside Of the regular
pillow, harrows, ETC., that one needs on
a farm. The expense OF the drill may
be avoided by getting the factory peo-
pie to drill your seed in for you, which
they will do for fifty (5O) cents per
acre.
Beets may be grown about as well
by the inexperienced man as by the
man who has grown them for some
time, for the factory people have what
they call field superintendent, men
OF judgment, experience and skill in
growing bees, whom they keep during
the growing season, inspecting the
fields of beets. These men will visit
your beets fields about three 81 times
a week and tell you when to thin,
weed, cultivate, irrigate and harves.
the beets, so that any one who is will
ing to be told what and how to do
stands a good show to be successful
with the first crop.
The most tedious part of the labor
in raising beets is done in Colorado
by the Russians. If you will put in
twenty (2O) acres or more of beets
and will furnish a cheap, rough
shack for them to live in, a Russian
and his family for twenty ($2O) dol
lars per acre will do all of the hand
work required in the raising OF the
beets. They will thin, weed, hoe, top
and put in small piles the beets,
whether your yield is small or great.
This leaves only the team work and ir-
rigating for the farmer to do. They
say they could not grow beets without
them, and while they are an unedu-
Gated class Of people, they r honest,
Industrious and law abiding and very
desirable for the merchant, for they
always pay their bills.
In conclusion We will say it is our
opinion that the lands tributary to
Billings have all the advantages for
the growing OF sugar beets that the
Colorado lands have, and some which
they do not possess, namely, we do
not have the hard freeze in May
which they are subject to. Another
very important advantage is that we
have a plentiful supply of water for
irrigating the crop, which we were
informed is very essential in growing
sugar beels.
Now we desire to impress on the
ii we are to reap the great advantages
to be derived from the establishment
OF a beet sugar PLANT here, that they
must assist by making contracts for
the raising Of the sugar beets, for un
til a sufficient acreage is absolutely
assured, no company will consider
the matter OF establishing a factory
here. We, therefore, as a committee,
urge and recommend that all farmers
who are in reach of the factory or
railroad enter into contracts at once
for all the acreage that they can
handle, so that the matter can be
taken up in time by the factory peo-
pie, so that the factory can be built
and put in readiness to take care OF
the crop for the coming season, and
unless this is done we cannot hope to
secure the factory.

SHRED Mousquetaire Sleeves.

Fancy sleeves have already become
established facts and are necessary to
the fashionable gown. These very
graceful ones are quite new and are
peculiarly we'll adapted to all the soft
and pliable materials of the season.
AS illustrated the sleeve to the left is
made Of willow green crepe poplin. the
one to the right of mahogany colored
mesSallnc but appropriate materials
are many. The sleeve to the left is
snug just at the shoulder. while the
one to the right is more m%ouffant.
Which is better depends entirely upon
the special figure to be considered.
The sleeves consist Of the fitted lin
ing, which is the same for both, and
the outer sleeve, on which the differ
ent shirrings are indicated. Each
sleeve is cut in one piece the one to
the left being shirreI in several rows
at its upper and edges, while the
draped sleeve is gathered once only at
its edges and shirred on vertical lines
for Il short distance from the shoulder,
forming a draped puff.

Using Improved Machinery.

Improved machinery and new meth.
DDS were introduced in Massachusetts
last year, reducing the cost and in
~creasins the efficiency of the roads.
Formerly gravel roads were resur-
faced by hand. The gravel would be
spread to a depth of from three to six
inches. Really a new road would be
built. This would require months of
packing, and the roads would not be
IL good condition until this process
was somewhat completed. Now Il ma
- chine is used for distributing gravel.
The new treatment can be given for
nshhe small cost Of from $40 to S15 a
mile. The machine is used also for
spreading sand. On the surface OF
macadam roads the sand is better
binding material than the dust from
the stone, for it is not so liable to be
blown off by winds. With a machine,
a cubic yard of sand can be distribute
ed in q minute and q half. The com
mission has also introduced a system
for using the road material which is
near at hand in all towns. In the case

The cut is made gradually less toward
1he sides, so that there is a V shaped

stones or stones from useless stone
walls in the vicinity, to a depth OF
about eighteen inches in the centre
and six or eight inches at the sides.
The best material which is convent
