"a stitch in time saves nine" The
time to build up the fertility of farm
is before it loses that fertility. Con-
tinued grain farming will ruin any soil
and the farmer who doesn't wish to
leave worn out farm for his chill
dren must adopt that system of farm
ing which increases rather than de-
creases soil fertility. Arrange the fields
so that each piece of land will grow
crop Of small grain once in four
years and shall be used for pasturage
once in the same length of time. Grow
crop of clover hay or clover and
timothy, one year and a crop of corn
one year out of the four. A ton of
wheat removes $40 worth of fertility
from the soil, ton of beef removes IS
worth Of fertility while ton of butter
depletes the soil only to the value of
thirty cents.-Northwes Agricul-

The Couniy's Affairs.

State Bullion Tax Collector Haley
completed his work here yesterday and
left for the East this morning Before
leaving, he called at this Office and in
formed us that he found the affairs of
the county i'll very good shape. His
only criticism was the failure of
the assessor to collect bullion tax
from the mining company at Edgemont
ane, the failure to collect licenses from
the First National Bank. In regard
to the former, he said he was unable to
find any reports on file from the min.
ing company at Edgemont to the assess
or as required by law, and in regard
to the latter that the bank claimed ex.
cmption from paying county license
on the ground that it is national bank.
While the claim of the First National
Bank may be valid and no criticism can
be made of the officers for their failure
to collect licenses from it, there can he
no excuse for the failure of the assess
or to enforce the law taxing the net
proceeds of mines. The assessor should
enforce the law hereafter.

Bridge For Every Mile

In 115 miles of track III bridges
have been built across the Musselshell
river in Montana by the Chicago, Mil.

Mussclshell river divides Fergus and
Yellowstone counties and in going
over the ll2 miles the passengers on
the line will 60 from Fergus into Vel.
lowstOne county fifty-nine times and
return into Fergus county fifty.eight
times during the ride. The passen.
ger will thus have crossed the county
line separating the two counties III
times. When it is considered that
the line which separates the two DO
litical divisions is nothing more nor
less than the Musselshell river, the
feat will become even more remark.
able. For each crossing of the line
there is a bridge, hence III bridges
have been constructed i'm the distance
of 1l5 miles. This is an average of
more than one bridge to every mile,
and III separate opportunities for

Don't This Jar Your

The following from the Yerington
Times is enough to make Lou Hender-
son wish he were dead. The man who
wrote it must have been listening to
one of Bob Skagg's dissertations OH
constitutional law before his brain
reeled it off. We beg Louis pardon for
publishing the rot, but the temptation
Is too great to be resisted:
State Auditor Henderson has re.
signed. Think of an Office holder re.
signing, and i'm hot weather, too. But
there is always reason for everything,
and 1t seems that Henderson, after
several long conferences with himself,
has decided that he, and not Col.
Maxson of Reno, should receive the
nomination for Congressman at the
hands of the Republicans of Nevada.
Twice IN the past week Mr.. Henderson
has been heard talking in his sleep,
and each time he said something about
there being plenty of hard work in
Congress, but that he was fond of
work. especially. If well paid for It.
