once that the only man who was right

It is most probable that the results would
not have been different if | had asked the
question on Il moonlight night with the

the memory image for the immediate per-

BIG YEAR FOR FARMERS.
Earnings for 1907 Are Billion Dollars
More Than for Last Year.

The American farmers earnings are
a thousand million dollars greater this
year than last, according to a prelim-
mary report on crops which will be pub
lished in the next issue of The American
Agriculturist. This big gain will be en-
tirely due to the increased prices of farm
products, as the production in general
will be fully 10 per cent less in quantity
than in 1906. which was the bumper
year.
THE farmer was never in so healthy
position as he is today-fnancially
socially, politically, mentally, and spirit
ually," says the report. 1.-THE increase
in the value of his real estate has been
prodigious. He owes less money than
ever before. He has greater assets than
ever. Again, the farmers wants are
greater. He is in the market for more
and better breeding stock, farm nipple
ments. household goods, and other mer-
chandise. He recognizes the extra profit
that accrueS from the use of better
equipment and better methods in his
business and in his home.
THE wheat crop this year will APP
proximate 625, 100000 bushels. 100000
900 less than last year. Corn promises
to he within per cent. as much as
last year, and, with but two or three
exceptions, the biggest yield on record
The yield of oats will be about II per
cent. less than last year. but there will
be nearly the usually quantity of rye,
barley, buckWheat, faxseed and potatoes.
The hay crop will exceed last years a
great deal. Apples will be much more
plentiful than last year.

How Men Should Dress.

"Ho,y men should dress is discussed
at length in Berlin paper which tells
IT'S readers at the start that the English
aud the Americans have ideas on that
subject which might we'll be copied by
men of other countries because they are
reasonable and because there can be no
doubt that the men of those countries
are better dressed than our countrymen.'
The writer predicts greater popularity
for the already popular smoking BY
that name the dinner coat or Tuxedo is
known in the German sartorial world.
1t is never spoken of as a smoking coat
or Jacket but as Il ''smoking.' Men
who wish to be properly clad" says the
mentor, will avoid wearing the frock
(evening coat or the smoking in the day
time. Both belong to a mans evening
dress. but it must be remembered that
in the case of formal dinners which take
place before nightfall the afternoon may
he considered part of the evening.
There are still many differences between
mems dress in this country and i'll others,
hut these are gradually being wiped out.
In evening wear uniformity has nearly
been reached. but the day dress of the
various nationalities, even in the large
cities. retain their characteristics, and
we hope they always will.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube When
this tube Is infiamed you have a rumblin2
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cendi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

HIGH PRICES FOR VEGETABLES.
Raising Garden Truck for Miners in the
Early Days of Montana.

Ray Woodwork of Moscow, Idaho.
has been visiting relatives and friends in
Dillon during the last week. Mr.. Wood
worth was one of the early arrivals at
Bannack. when the placer gold was dis
covered in Grasshopper gulch. and also
moved near Virginia City and resided
there when that famous placer field was
in it's glory.
Mr.. Woodwork says that he came to
Bannack from Denver i'll 1868 and took
up Il ranch near what is now known as
Taylor crossing. between Dillon and
Bannack. He brought a lot of garden
seed along with him. believing that gar
den vegetables would be Il dehcacy so
craved by the miners that they would
pay handsomely for them and that he
would make more money with his spade
and garden rake than with the rocker
and pan. He succeeded very we'll near
Bamack. and when there was Il rush to
Alder GuIch he went there and took up
ranch III the Madison Valley not far
from Virginia City. where he continued
raising vegetables and selling them to
the miners.
He raised the first wheat crop ever
raised i'll the territory of Montana and
sold his wheat for % cents a pound.
L lost $4,000 on one load of ruta bagas,
and it was this way" he said. Il hired
4 freighter to haul big load to Helena.
paying him 4 cents a pound, and told
him to sell them for 9 cents a pound,
thinking that that was high enough for
them. A few days after he had left the
ranch l heard that the vegetables were
retailing at 80 cents pound, and | sent
ii courier after him to tell him not to sell
for less, but the messenger arrived at
Helena ii few hours afttE he had sold
the load for 9 cents pound The dealer
retailed them at SO cents. | also lost
some money on a load of turnips. They
froze en- route and | secured only Is cents
a pound for them. | sold many potatoes
to the Alder Gulch miners for 30 cents a

Secretary James Wilson of the depart

the production of camphor. He said, in
part:
For years the department has been

sands of trees are now growing through
out the south and in the Pacific coast
states. Two years ago a serious effort
was made to develop the manufacture of
camphor from these trees.
"By improvements in manufacturing
processes satisfactory results have been
accomplished and a large manufacturing

which it hopes to make its camphor.

Ants Are Long I1y ed.

Ants are really very long lived, con-
sidering their minuteness. a naturalist
had two queens under observation for
ten years and one of Sir John Lubbock S
ant pets lived into her fifteenth year.
Ants are very tenacious of life after
severe injury. Following loss of the
entire abdomen they sometimes live two
weeks. and in one case headless ant,
carefully decapitated by antiseptic sur
gerry, lived ffty-one days. A carpenter
ant after being submerged eight days in
distilled water came to life upon being
dried, so that they are practically proof
against drowning. They can live long
periods without food, in one case the
fast lasted nearly nine months.-Duluth

Gets Four Apples for Rent.

Mr. Claiborn, owner of the cider and
vinegar works and the sorghum factory
east of town. is the man with the best
right to lament over the fruit failure.
He stated today that the cider and sor-
ghum portion of his mill will remain
shut down for the year. the only opera
ton being with grain. There is no SUI
gar cane to speak of, and no apples at
all. AS striking evidence of this latter
fact he visited his farm in Salem town
ship yesterday. Under the terms of the
lease he is to receive "one-half of the
apples grown in the orchard" on the
place. His renter informed him that Mr.
Claiborns share will be just four apples
and inquired whether he wanted them
delivered in town or would come after
them.-Ioa Wan.) Record.
