COUNTY GETS INTEREST.
Profits On Public Funds Received BY
Chouteau County Treasury.

Among the receipts of the Chouteau
county treasury the past few days
were several checks aggregating o..

interest upon deposits of public funds
during the past six months. This IL .
new departure In the financial affairs
Of the county. It is believed to be the
first instance of record in Montana in
which the profits on public funds have
been placed to the credit of the tax.

This new departure is the result OF q

affecting the matter, and anticipating
that the tenth assembly might fail to
deal with the subject, it was proposed
that each of the candidates for the Of

that, in the event of his election, he
would account for any profits that
might accrue from deposits of public
money entrusted to his care. This
plan was adopted, and In the election
that followed, MIR. l.. o. Hudson, the
democratic candid ate, who had given
the desired pledge, received q major.

Mr.. Hudson entered upon the duties
of his Office the first week In March,
and at once made arrangements with
the several banks in the county to re-
ceive deposits of money from the
Chouteau county treasury, and pay
interest thereon at q specified rate,
1t was agreed that such interest should
be paid every six months, and the

RECIPE FOB SMILING.
1t Is Fashionable, So the Charming Art

.
Must BE Acquired.
Smiling has become fashionable
The long faced, sad, aesthetic type of
beauty isn't anywhere to be seen. All
the beauties of today are laughing
beauties; hence to know how to laugh
is the thing.
In the recipe for a sweet smile there
should come some mention Of fra
GRANGE. The breath should be scent
laden and the most delicious odor
should watt from the mouth.
The woman who wants to have scent
ed lips should use the mouth wash
daily and constantly, and she should
be sure that her food agrees with her.
If the food is indigestible and if there
is headache the lips will not be pleas
ant. They will be rough and chapped,
and they will not give forth nice
odor. The digestion should be good il
one is going to have clear skin and
nice lips.
The prettiest women have a trick Of
seeming the lips. They take little
eau de cologne and daub it upon the
lips with a little sponge. This makes
them fragrant. They also scent the
upper lip and put little cologne I'M
der the tip of the chin just where the
neck touches the collar This will, as
rule, make the mouth fragrant.
You will also need while you are
studying the smile set of teeth. This
means good set of uppers and an
irreproachable set of lowers. One miss
ing tooth anywhere along the line viii
queer the whole combination. Your
teeth must be good.

GOLDEN PLUM

adopted by pomologists. This variety
has been planted in most Of our plum
districts, and, while not of the highest
dessert quality, it is a hardy, produc-
tive and excellent fruit in most Of the
territory where either the Japanese or
the Chickasaw plums succeed.
The fruit is medium in size, surface
a golden yellow, lightly flushed with
carmine, when we'll ripened, and COW
cred with thin bloom, with numerous
dots of russell or gray. The skin is
thick, rather acid and bitter when
picked prematurely; the stone small
to medium cling; flavor rich, subacid
pleasant; quality good to very good,
season medium, about July 90 to 80 at
Augusta, Ga, where the specimens
here illustrated were grown.
The tree, dwarfsh and compact, with
small foliage, resembling it's Chicka-
saw rather than it's japanese parent
in these respects, is pronounced by Pc
mologist William A. Taylor of Wash
ington to be a good bearer, apparently
hardy throughout all but the coolest
plum districts and particularly well
adapted to the south Atlantic and gulf
states.

in conjunction with the tree. 1t can
be quite easily made of half inch pine,
and if it's inside dimensions are eight
and half inches square an empty bis
cult tin can be used as an inner recep-
tacle to hold the soil. The box should
be put together with small nails, these
being driven below the surface of the
wood and the holes filed with putty.
The edges of the box will be improved
by being slightly rounded, and the
whole box must be sandpapered
smooth previous to staining and deco
rating.
A dead black stain is next applied,
both inside and out, two coats being
given TO insure good surface The
design must then be drawn in and
painted with oil colors thinned with
turpentine. The rectangular back
ground of the blossoms and the curved
space behind the leaves are to be deep
peacock blue, the blossoms a rich pur-
pie and the leaves and stems olive
green. Slight shading can be given to
the blossoms and leaves with deeper
zones Of their respective colors.
A window garden which offers ac-
commodation for eight or ten plants Is
desirable. It's construction should not
be difficult for the amateur carpenter,
especially if soft wood, such as pine, is
used. The length will be governed by
the window at which it is to be used
and the width and height by the size
Of the flowerpots. The uprights should
be al inch and quarter square and
should be chosen free from knots. The
caps on the tops of these uprights are
cut from inch material, beveled to fit
the inch and quarter material. Half
inch wood will be sufficiently strong for
the sides of the box, but for the bot
tom, the small shelves, brackets and
crosspieces inch boards must be used.
A zinc inner lining can be used to hold
the soil, although better would be to
have a shallow zinc tray fitted to the
bottom Of the box and then use ordi-
nary fowerpots to hold the plants. If
the tops Of the pots are hidden by a
layer of green moss, the plants will
show to much better advantage.
When the woodwork is completed, It
must be sandpapered smooth and then

Cultivation of RasDberries.

If satisfactory results are expected
raspberries must be given as much
care in cultivation as a crop Of corn.
AS rule the berry patch in which the
soil is allowed to become hard and
compact, grown up with weeds and
suckers, cannot be expected to yield
satisfactory returns. 1t is an erroneous
idea that because some raspberries
grow wild or in the woods or in neg
lected fence corners they will do

patch or field. The ground should be
broken as early as possible with one

three or four inches deep, says Orange
Judd Farmer.
Later cultivation should be frequent
and can best be done with spring

lar sort. A good, all round fertilizer
per acre, applied broadcast early in the
spring, consists of forty pounds Of nj
trate of soda, 800 pounds of dissolved
rock and a hundred pounds of nitrate
of potash.

Training Granevines.

In regard to the horizontal method of
training the grapevine a grower writes
as follows:
We abandoned the vertical trellis
and trained our vines on a modifica-
ton of the Munson trellis. Stout posts
are set along the rows, and crosspieces
are bolted fast four feet above the
ground. These crosspieces are two and
a half feet long. Wires are stretched
along the tops Of the posts, End out
side of this wire are two other wires
from the ends Of the crossbars. The
vines are branched into two arms at
the central wire, and these are trained
in opposite directions on the central
wire about four feet long. The fruiting
shoots hang over the outer wires and
form canopy of foliage over the fruit
that hangs underneath. At next prun-
ing two other canes are taken from
near the junction, and the old ones are
pruned away. Trained in this way the
vines are easily sprayed and the
ground kept clean and well cultivated,
and the fruit is completely protected
from the storms by the shelter of foli-
age above. In fact, as we said some
time ago, we believe that horizontal
training Of all vines will prove far bet
ter than the old vertical training
