A VOICE FROM the FARM.
valuable Suggestions For Rauchevs Who
Neglect Summer Following.

Referring to the recent statement OF
q Kansas "whest king" who re.
marked that the Campbell dry farm.
ing system is too expensive to pro-
luce profitable crops, Perrin Epper'
son, Of Belt. writes the River Press
to this effect:
l wish to state that the day is not
far distant when the thousands and
thousands OF acres of rich loan land
sloping to the north and northwest
from the Highwood mountains will be
brought under cultivation on the
"summer fallow" plan, when crops
OF summer wheat will be produced
that will surprise the Kansas man.
Fort Benton will have the down hill
pull 10 marketing this wheat. If manv
farmers have not gone broke entirely,
they find themselves badly bent the
last two years because OF not practic.
ing summer following.
Every farmer in the state should
commence the 10Th Of June, 1905, and
turn under at least ten acres Of his
thickest weeds and wild oats, and be
sur that every green thing is put out
of sight not less than Eve inches deep.
Narrowing once q week for four or
Eve weeks will fix it m q crop OF
potatoes, to be followed by wheat or
barley the next season, with but few
weeds to bother. This should be re-.
peated from year to year, selecting a
different plot of ground each year: In
this way the extra expense will not be
noticed.
1t is not generally known that God
intended weeds for fertilizing the
ground as we'll as for medicine, but
they must be plowed under from June
Is to July 20. Between these dates all
blowing should be done In Montana,
and not seeded until the following
year, and If seeded to wheat it should
by all means be drilled in with roller
press drill. If broad casted, rolling
after narrowing seed Ia must not be
neglected ii you expect a good crop,
This is the give and take plan Of
farming, n the Roosevelt plan; the
land gets a "square DEAL" as we'll al
yourself.
This body of land near the High
wood mountains IL a different propo'
sition to lands In Kansas. There
they have the hot nights to help take
up the moisture, but here the nights
are cool and no moisture is lost. i
is an ideal section for producing Is te
40 bushels of winter wheat to the acrt
on this 'sQuare deal" plan. II tn,
Kansas man had made a talk agains'
spring blowing and seeding we should
have agreed with him, for there II
nothing in it. Summer following Il
the only method for small farmers Il
practice II they expect q living from
Montana farms. And right now is tn
time to commence hauling manure ant
spreading on q four or ave. acre pl0
of ground to raise potatoes in 1907
Spread evenly and let 1t remain unit
June, then turn weeds, manure and al
under six inches deep. The harrow
will keep weeds down if dragged owe
four or five times, with an interval O
q week between times. II potatoes ar
plowed in the following spring, tire
inches 10 deep enough TO pillow an
plant; drag heavy smoothing boar
over plot after planting.
Yours for square deal farming. tha
will pay debts and win out,

WHISKY LAW a FARCE:

not enforce the law against impure
whisky, but that "knock- out drops
came under the department of the po-
lice administrations Potions given to
put men to sleep are usually dropped

men behind the bar.
AS to the state whisky law, Mr.. Tren-
ham says he merely repeated what has
often been said before, that it is farce
of pure whisky. Fusil oil, which ia
prohibited bv The law, is found in the
purest whisky, and may be absent en-

KILLED BY AUTO IN THE STREET.
Machine Is Run Away From the Scene and
Cannot he FO0nd.


A Polish farmland, known to his en-
ployer as John Lietlie was killed 10 Jerome
avenue at l77th street at O'Clock yesterday
morning by an automobile, which escaped.
In the machine were Ave men. who never
stopped to see how badly the victim was
hurt. It was two seated maroon colored
car, but that IL about all the police have to
work on. The detectives assigned to duty
at The Bronx detective bureau are trying
to find the automobilists.
Coroner Berry held an inquest last night
and examined Paul Ritter OF 1898 Jerome
avenue, a witness of the killing. Ritter
was sitting on the stoop OF his home when
he cav the automobile strike Lietke. The
machine kept on going although one Of the
men in 1t stood UP and looked back. Ritter
thought the machine was painted maroon.
He ran up jerome avenue until he found
Mounted Policeman Lake. He told him
what mad happened. Leaving Ritter to
telephone for an ambulance, Lake galloped
his horse south on the avenue trying to
overtake the automobile. He rode mile
and then gave 1t up, never even getting
glimpse Of the machine.
The ambulanc surgeon who attended
Lietke said he died almost instantly, for
his neck was broken. He was 2s years old
and sober, industrious fellow. In bis
pockets he had citizenship papers made out
to Boleslows Pokorski. The mans death
stirred Coroner Berry to remark at the in
quest that the men in the automobile ought
to be hanged.
This Is tho second killing OF this kind In
The Bronx in three weeks The other victim
was a twelve-year-old boy. The owner
Of the automobile that killed him has not
been arrested. and the police are az much
In the dark in regard to that case as they
are in the more recent one.
