Children should be taught the inn
portance of perSistency. 1t is not
necessary that they should early choose
their vocation; yet it is necessary
that when they do choose it, they
should choose it for life. An Occupa-
ton once chosen should be entered
upon with q feeling that there is no
other occupation. The ships should be
burned behind. So long as there is in
the mind a lingering thought that
after all some other occupation will
constitute the life work, failure is al
most certain, for the mind is not con-
centrated, and its acts are like the
acts of those who are half in jest.

The first law of friendship is SINGER
ity: and he who violates this law will
soon find himself destitute of what he
so erringly seeks to gain; for the de-
ceitful heart of such an one will soon
betray itself, and feel the contempt
due to ~inSincerety. The world is SO
full of selfShness, that true friend
ship is seldom found; yet it is often
sought for paltry gain by the base and
designing. Behold the toiling miser,
with his ill-gotten and worthless
t~reaSurerS; his soul is never moved by
the hallowed influence Of the sacred
boon of friendship, which renews again
Oh earth lost Eden's faded bloom, and
filings hopes haleyoD halo over the
wastes Of life. The enyious mamie,
too, seeks to gain the applause of
others for an unholy usage, by which
he may usurp a seat Of pre-eminence
for himself. Self-love, the spring of
motion, acts upon his soul. All are
fond Of praise, and many are dishonest
in the use of means to obtain it; hence
it is often difficult to distinguish be-
tween true and false friendship. Our
best friends are beneath our own roof.
A family circle, when each member is
linked to the other by home ties, is
where you find friendship in it's I'M
adulterated and pure form.

One Of the saddeSt sights is that of
a young man who, without ever hav-
ing asked himself IL he possessed suf-
feient strength Of nerve to endure the
strain of an intellectual career, has
been graduated heavily in debt, and
has sacrificed what little health and
constitution he had for a college course.
No one told him that, even if he
should obtain his degree, he would be
totally unfit to excel in intellectual
pursuits, and would be doomed to per-
petnal mediocrity. He thought that
if he could only get through college,
even if he were broken in health and
purse, he could get on somehow. He
is no longer content with his former
lot, his ambition is poisoned by visions
of impossible goals, his vitality ex-
hausted, his energies scattered, and so
the youth who might have become a.
useful farmer or a skillful mechanic,
Staggers under his load of pecuniary
obligation, iii health, aud unSatisfied
ambition, until death relieves him of
his misery. There are many such
young men in every community. The
parents, and not the young men are
to blame for this. Before John is ten
years old his parents decide to make a
doctor, a lawyer or a professor out OF
him. When John deyelopes he will
naturally take to the calling he is best
adapted to as a duck does to water.
Wait for those developments before
trying to mould a lawyer out Of a
natural mechanic or farmer.

MONTANA CATTLE
ARE IN GOOD TRIM

The first grass rangers shipped from
Montana, which were loaded at Malta
last week, arrived in Chicago in ex-
cellent condition and were eagerly
snapped up by the buyers at $500 ca

were the best qualified Montanas to
reach the Chicago market SO early in
the season for twelve years. The
Malta shipments, all of which arrived
in Chicago on the same day, consisted
, of twenty-five loads from the Bloom
company, six from John Survant and
four from Brady, r. and G.

new RULES FOR
SHIPPING CATTLE

Steady cattle shipments are expect
ed after this week from both Chou
teau and Valley counties and local
cattlemen are studying with interest,
and in some cases little dismay, the
amended regulations made by the
government department of agricul-
ture. The new rules were this week
adopted by Secretary Wilson, being,
in their entirety, the recommends
lions of DR.. D. S. Solomon, chief of the
bureau of animal industry. The main
rule is that ''food and water are to be
supplied at intervals not exceeding
twenty EIGHT hours while the ship
ments are in transit and, in supplying
water, each car must be stopped for
at least five minutes during which
time the troughs shall be kept filled
with clear water, and all the animals
given opportunity to drink"
1t is also provided that hereafter
there must be room in each car for at
least one-third of the cattle to lie
down at the same time. The exact
number of cattle which may be carried
in thirty-six foet car ranges
from twelve 18OO-pounders to twenty
three 700-pounders
The regulations provide, also, for
establishment on the cars of semi
cylindrical watering troughs of
galvanized iron, to be at least fifteen
inches deep and not less than twelve
inches wide at the top.

new PRIEST TO
LABOR TN HAVRE

The ardor of his labors and the
unusual extent of his parish has en-
couraged the DIOCESAN authorities to
grant the Rev. Father Eberschweiler
an assistant and a new priest was
this week installed in Havre in the
person of Father Aleysius Hoffman.
The especial duties of Father Holt
man will be to take charge of the
services and his priestly duties at
Fort Assinniboine and in the Sweet
Grass hills and adjacent territory, but
he will be in Havre often to assist
Father Eberschweiler in his altar
observances.
The appointment of the assistant
priest was announced the latter part
of last week by Bishop Matthias Leni-
han OF Great Falls, when he stopped
in the city to say mass while on his
way to a tour Of the Pacific North
west slope, during which he will visit
the Lewis and Clark exposition.
Bishop O'Gorman of South Dakota,
also, was visitor in Havre last week
and devotee at mass during delay
of his train.
Bishop Lenihan has advised COM
mittee composed of L. K. Devlin,
Joseph Gussenhoven and others inter-
ested in the erection of the proposed
Catholic hospital in this city, for
Which ground has already been
donated by the liberality of the land
owners named, that he will take up
and dispose of the question during
his regular visit to Havre in Septem-
Der. The Havre Industrial associa-
tion, also, has interested itself in this
project and is giving it united support.
With free land assured, it is believed
that the church organization will
readily accept the Havre offer as soon
as the details can be thoroughly dis
cussed.
Work on the new parish house is
being prosecuted as rapidly as desired,
and Contractor Joseph Gussenhoven
anticipates having the structure COM
pleted early next month, The
material for this building, which is
concrete block, is being manufactured
in Havre.

A Contrast In Farming.

The following from The Blooming.
ton Pantagraph needs no comment.
The lesson is so plain that all can see
It:
Here is a vivid object lesson in good
and poor farming contrasted, seen last
fall. On one side of the highway stood
field OF great corn already matured
and promising eighty bushels per acre.
1t was almost a model field. Just
across the road from 1t was a field OF
very poor and immature corn that
might make twenty-five bushels per
acre. Why this difference? The
original character of the soil was the
same, but the soil was not the same
at the beginning OF the season last
spring. One field had been well
farmed and was rich In fertility. The
other mad grown corn almost continu-
ously for over twenty years; 1t had
received little or no manure or fertili-
Fer, and the land had not been in pas
ture. Then the preparation OF the
ground and cultivation OF the crop
were much less thorough and timely
ia one field than In the other. And
the difference between the two crops
is itself more than an average central

One of the admirable and novel large
hats is OF brown velvet The brim is
done in three overlapping layers Of the
velvet, the outer one dropping a bit and
suggesting a mushroom. The crown
is rather high. Pansy blossoms, the
small oldfashioned garden sorts, are
scattered thickly around this crown
from the base TO the top. The velvet
flowers are in the golden shades, with
good bit of violet intermlngled. So
far this does not sound peculiar. but
the small, fiat cluster of dead pink
roses fastened at the left front of the

contain less than 2 per cent. More

power of the soil unfayorably, and
probably in most cases even much less

beneficial. Most of our common farm
land In the East has less than per

as market gardens, truck patches and

Important Test In Feeding Cows.

Here is q summary of a most inter
esting test in feeding cows by the VirN
glnia Experiment Station, which should
command the attention of feeders:
l. That cost of producing milk and
butter can be greatly reduced by re-
placing part OF the concentrates in the
daily ration of the COW with some
roughness rich in protein, such as al
falfa or cow-pea hay.
2. A ton of alfalfa or pea hay can be
produced at 4 cost of $3 to So per ton,
whereas, wheat bran costs $50 to $25.
AS Il yield of from to 3 tons of pea
hay and from to tons Of alfalfa
can be obtained from an acre of land,
ii is easy to see the great advantage
the utilization OF these roughnesses, in
the place of wheat bran, gives the
dairyman.
3. In substituting alfalfa hay for
wheat bran, It will be best In prac-
tlce to allow one and one-half pounds
of alfalfa to each pound of wheat bran,
and If the alfalfa is fed In finely
chopped condition, the results VIII
HiONt
4. When alfalfa was fed under the
most favorable conditions, a gallon OF
milk was obtained for ST cents and a
pound OF butter for lO.4 cents. When
pea hay was fed. the lowest cost of
gallon OF milk was So cents and q
pound of butter was "a cents. In
localities where pea hay grows well, It
can be utilized TO replace wheat bran,
and In sections where alfalfa can b0
grown 1t can be substituted for pea
hay with satisfaction.
5. These results, covering two years.
tests with different sets OF cows, fur
nish proof that certain forms of rough.
ness rich in dlgestible protein can be
substituted with satisfaction for the
more expenmye concentrates, and
should lend encouragement to dairy
farmers.
@. These tests indicate that with al.
falfa hay ut $40 ton and wheat bran
at $40. the saving effected by subst-
tuting alfalfa for wheat would be $3.50
for every 100 pounds OF butter and
1913 cents for every 100 pounds or
milk. The farmer can thus AFFORD TO
sell his milk for 1913 cents less hum
dred than he now receives, and his
butter for about twenty-five as copa-
pared with twenty-five cents a pognd.
