portion.

That the Campbell system of dry
farming long agitated IN Umatlla
county by the late Col r. c. Judson,
industrial agent for the o. r. C N, is
really a success on dry and uninviting
land, Is shown by the following cor
respondence from Bozeman, Mont,
giving an account OF the result of dry
farming experiments in that state.
The letter says:
Director F. b. Linfleld of the Unit
ed States experiment station. and Pro-
fessor Alfred Atkinson, agronomist,
made a trip to Helena with Land
Agent Thomas Cooper, of the North
ern Pacific railway, the purpose Of
the conference being to prepare a re-
port of the work carried on in dry
land farming along the Northern Pa
cific line in this state by the United
States experimental station with
funds furnished in part by the rail-
way company.
Three experimental farms were
maintained, one at Billings, one at
Forsyth and one at Glendive. The
first named was a complete failure
because an employe did not carry out
the directions of the management.
The other two were successful and
showed the following average yields.
Spring wheat, 81 bushels an acre;
oats, 46.2 bushels; barley, 22.1; spring
rye, 20.5; fall rye, 3S.5; flax, col.
These yields were regarded by Mr..
Cooper as very encouraging, and he
promised that the financial aid which
the railway company has been giving
would be continued another year. He
also decided, upon the recommenda-
tion of Professors Linfield and Atkin-
son, to throw open to sale about g.
600, 900 acres north of Glendive, along
the Missouri river.
The Northern Pacific has for two
or three years withheld its lands in
this state from sale, awaiting the re-
suits of the dry-land farming expert
ments. This policy has been criti-
cized and Mr.. Cooper, in a recent let
ter to the papers of the state, explain
ed the reason for the delay. There
has also been an impression that be-
cause of the exceptional amount of
rainfall the experiments of raising
crops without any irrigation was
hardly fair test this year.
So far as Glendive and Forsyth are
concerned, weather bureau records
show that in each case the rainfall
this, year was only n fraction OF an
inch above the average an dthe slight
excess came in August when it count
ed little 1t is felt that in the case
of these two districts, the average
yield to the acre, as reported above,
is a fair average of what may be ex-
pected year after year.

The Pointer.

There Is as much fallacy in attempt
ing to prove the origin of pointing as In
like attempt to prove the origin Of
eating. AS a matter Of fact, the point
ing act commonly exhibited by the
pointer and setter Is an incident Of the
capture or attempted capture Of food
by dogs, and also by wolves and foxes.
Coyotes have been seen to draw and
point on prairie dogs and grouse in
precisely the same manner that the
pointer and setter draw on game birds.
There were the same rigtdity and
stealth, the pause to judge Of distance
and opportunity and the final rigid
pause when all the energies are con-
centrated for the final spring to cap
ture. All the phenomena displayed by
the dog family indicate that the draw
ing and pointing In the pursuit Of prey
were ever natural traits. 1t may be
reasonably believed that man could
not breed the pointing instinct out of
the dog If he attempted to do so.-
