Convinced that humming birds will
make good household pets, Miss Gwen

to raise them in Central Islip, N. Y.
Miss Brooks has bought a farm there
and has obtained plans for avaries.
She proposes to sell the tiny birds
and says she already has a lot Of COM

small size they are not difficult to keep
in good health, she declared, and they
are most interesting to study. She

as the "ruby breasted" birds. Their
real home Is in South America, but
they migrate to this climate in the hot

to the tropics In August before cold
weather can nip their frail bodies.
Just how they manage to survive the
hardships of their long journey to the
north and back to the tropics has long

SHERiFFS.

The big prize in every election OF
county officials is the Office of sheriff,
and in most of the counties there is
keen competition for the job. It is
the best paid public position in Mon
tana, considering the duties of the
Office and the qualifications that must
be possessed by the incumbent. In
providing these excessive emoluments,
Montana lawmakers probably con-
cluded that the risks incurred by
sheriffs in their association with the
criminal element entitle them to lib
eral reward, but this apology would
also apply to deputies, constables and
other peace officers by whom arrests
are more frequently made than by the
sheriff himself.
The employers of Montana public
officials r liberal in their views as
to what compens alton shall be paid
for the services rendered, but in re.
spect to the office Of sheriff there ia
evidently too great an expense. The
Treasure State, In referring to this
subject, makes this pertinent CON-
ment:
To be sheriff In any ~populous coun.
ty In Montana seems better than to be
governor, federal Judge, attorney gen.
ersl, United States senator. congress.
man or what not. The sheriff jobs
pay more money and this is often one
of the foremost purposes of the Office
holder. The sheriff of Lewis and
Clark county has a job worth all the
way from $500 to $40, 900 the year.
The governor of the state gets only
$1,000 and the expense of his social
and political obligations speedily di.
minishes that sum.
Sheriffs are moi expected to ten.
tertain" anybody except prisoners.
Governors, senator's, judges and
others in places of high prefermen,
are expected to represent the state in
a dignified, costly and adequate man
ner. County jails are boarding houses
in which there is a large and steady
profit for the sheriffs in charge.
We do not wish to reduce the emolu'
ments and perquisites of the various
sheriffs, but we are fain to call atten'
ton to the odd fact that the sheriff o.

DRY FARMING EXPERIMENTS.

Reports that are coming in from
different parts of the state, especially
from northern, central and eastern
Montana, on the results of the dry
land farming experiments this season
are all of d tenor-they have beer
successful. 1t is pretty hard to con
vince the old time Montana ranchmar
that it is possible to grow crops sue
cessfully anywhere in this state unles:
there is an abund ance of water for
irrigation or q bounteous rainfall,
but the proof is at hand this year tc
demonstrate that it can be done.
Last year, owing to the large am
cunt of rainfall, which was scattered
pretty we'll through the growing sea
son, dry land farming did not have a
severe test. But this year it has.
Since the June rains the season has
been unusually dry, and crops sown
on bench lands have had no water
either from the heavens or from irri'
cation bitches.
Among the demonstration farms
conducted this year was one near
Harlem, in Chouteau county. The
season up there has been unusually
dry, the total rainfall for April, May,
June and July being $50 inches. and
Of that nearly four inches fell In June.
Winter wheat and alfalfa were sowu
on the tract, and the yield of whea,
will be from 80 to IS bushels to the
acre. There is also a good stand OF
alfalfa. 1t must be remembered that
there vas little snow last winter in
northern Montana and all the mois.
ture was from the rains this spring,
the season being the dryest in the his.
tory of that section.
From the Judith basin, in Fergus
county, comes the same story OF boun'
teous yields on dry land. There the
grain has been grown, not on expert.
ment farms, but on thousands Of acres,
and where the land was properly cul.
tivated and titled the yield will be &c
bushels to the acre of the best winter
wheat.
1t is pretty hard to convince the
average Montana ranchman who is
used to shallow blowing and plenty
Of water for irrigation, that it is pos
sible to grow crops by deep blowing
and careful guilty alton, and withou'
artificial irrigation, but this year viii
do much to demonstrate that 1t can b.
done.-Helena Record.
