HELENA, Mont, March 1.-THE
POLITICAL life of former United States
Senator Garter, for years the undis-

chairman in 1892 of the republican ma

coming municipal campaign.
A fight against the former senator is
being waged by Mayor Edwards, who
for some years has been slowly forging
to the front as a factor in state poll
tics. Carter seeks to prevent the re-
nomination of Edwards for mayor, and
the fight is becoming very bitter. It
is stated that in case Carriers effort
to defeat the mayor is unsuccessful.
the former senator will, with the aid
of Congressman Dixon and Chairman
Lindsay of the state cammittee. be de-

Canadian law protects the minor and,
while the property has for years been

by an old uncle of Mr.. Burns to have
the estate, 200 acres of choice farm and
improved lands in Chichester county,

That the older residents of the county

that a right royal reception awaits

CASE AGAINST MERGER FILED IN

Result He Hoped For.

The decision of the United States ST.

The attitude of this state on the
merger question was one of the matters
that complicated the late Governor

prosecution of a suit when he fell ill.,
1t was during his illness that a letter
from Senator Turner and an opinion
from the attorney general urged the
suit. Close friends of the governor
realized that worry over the situation
had the tendency to make his illness
more serious and hasten the crisis that
resulted in his death.
The suit was instituted by Attorney
General Stratton and preliminary steps
were taken to fight it to a finish. The
case was pending in the supreme court

The supreme court finds that the
lower court erred in both particulars.
The Montana law holds the wife re-
sponsible for debts contracted by the
husband where the same are for her
benefit, and the jury should have been
allowed to pass on the question as to
whether she was responsible. The ap-
pellants, having alleged that the mort
gage had been foreclosed, evidence
should have been submitted to the jury
on that point. The case is therefore
remanded for new trial.

with steamed fodder than can with the
best quality of shredded fodder dry, or
of almost any of the ordinary hay. This is
because cattle eat it with so much more
relish that large amounts are consumed
and the available nutrients are rendered
more digestible
There are number of simple ways in
which the fodder may be steamed, tie
main essential being to provide some
means for producing live steam. The
object is to steam the hay and never to
cook or boil, or to water-soak it farther

than to restore the activity of its natural
juciness. Any little feed cooker will do
to which steam connection may be made
The pipe run from such a steam gem
orator into barrel, for instance, filled
with shredded fodder, will accomplish
the purpose and serve for a supply for
from one to five head OF stock. For the
feeding of dairy heard or large num-
ber of stock such as arrangement as

CLOSE PLANTING OF TREES.
It Is a Common Practice, But One
Which Inevitably Causes
Loss Later On.

In the setting out of orchard trees
this spring, the distance apart should
be given more consideration than is
usually given it. 1t has always been
a general fault, at least in this coun-
try, to set the trees too near together.
We have seen apple trees planted so
close that by the time they were
ten years old their branches inter
locked and the foliage produced a
semi-twilight below. We have never
seen such an orchard loaded with fruit.
That mistake was made generally 40
years ago. Since that time men have
been coming TO realize the fact that
close planting is very detrimental
to the producing of fruit. First the
apple trees were planted rod apart.
Then the distance was increased to 20
feet and then to 25. Now our best
orchardists are planting their small
growers 80 feet apart and the large
limbed trees 35 feet apart. Some
planters are even putting their trees
40 feet apart each way especially If
they are of the larger growing varic-
lies.
In the matter of pears some varie-
ties should be set at least 30 feet apart,
while straight growers may be set
20 and 25. Peaches are not generally
large growing trees and will do well
if set as close as 20 feet each way.
Plums should have at least II feet. and
some of the varieties should have 90
feet. OF course dwarf varieties of all
kinds of fruit can be planted much
closer than standards. 1t is a mistake
to plant close with the intention of
cutting out half of the trees. The
cutting out is never done.--Farmers
