TABLES REPORTED.
SUGAR BEETS RUN HIGH
Alfalfa Yields Eight Tons Per Acre,
Oats More Than one Hundred Bush
els, Wheat over Fifty Bushels and
Sugar seets Eighteen Tons.

Yellowstone valley armer nave
just completed harvesting one of the
largest crops in the history Of the val
ley. Everywhere the yield has been
unusually heavy and the demand for
product large. Vegetables, alfalfa,
sugar beets, grains and cereals nave
all gone far heavier than anticipated,
while the prices paid the producer are
better than for sometime.
The oats crop is much larger than
formerly because Of the amount Of
oats planted in the dry land farming
section. While the yield in the non
irrigated sections tributary to Billings
it has been something phenomenal.
There are many farmers whose oats
have harvested 100 bushels to the acre
and better. While the top yield has
not yet been decided, it is believed it
will closely approach the record for
the country, which is held by I. D.
o'Donnell Of this city and vas made

bushels per acre.
The potato yield has been good.
There has also been q good demand
for the crop and potato growers in
this valley will receive good returns
from their crops.
IN many Of the irrigated sections
the wheat has run " 50 bushels per
acre and is exceedingly fne. while on
the dry land farming sections It went
as high as 30 bushels to the acre. The
crop Of wheat this year Is several
times greater than last year.
Alfalfa registered a bumper crop
the largest in the history OF alfalfa
growing in this valley. There were
many places where the alfalfa crop
went from i've to eight tons per acre.
Sugar beet growers are now clean
ing up their first field. While few re.
ports have been received a to the
yield, j. p. Snidow of Park City has
just cleared q tract Of forty acres
which went higher than IS tons to the
acre, yielding than $50 per acre,
There. are many other fields, where
similar yields can be shown.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested by the farmers in purchasing
sheep, and I. D. O'Donnell, one Of thu
best informed farmers in the valley
yesterday said that there would be
more sheep fed here than ever before
The farmer is beginning to realize tht
value OF feeding his crop. Many Of thu
sheep will be red on sugar beet pulp

ine;y took Hughes into the police sta

venter by Tailor Heagney. All three

A PALrRY AVERAGE.

Latest reports as to the 1907 corn crop place the yield at 2,553, 732, ,00U bushels. This was grown on 9S,220. 461 acres, the average yield being twenty six bushels. While the grand total yield is stupendous and seeming ly creditable showing, there is cause for agricultural shame in the thought of the tens of thousands of fellows who planted, titled and : harvested fields which could not have yielded more than twelve or fifteen bushels per acre This latter class are quite likely carrying on a skinning type of agriculture, are overdrawn at the bank and are in a general way dissatisfied with themselves and the times in which they live. And the reason would not seem to be very far to seek.

How to Keen Honey.

HoneJ should always be stored in a
 warm place. If kept where 1t will be- come cold 1t often granulates or, as the process is more commonly described. candied Amateurs often place the produce of their hives in a cool location and are surprised at the result. When liquid honey has granulated, says Sub urban Life, it may be restored to its former condition by placing the re- ceptacle in which 1t is contained in a dish of hot water. Many people who buy liquid honey at the stores believe that the honey has been adulterated if they find it granulated. As matter of fact, this is one of the best tests of its purity. A bottle of so called honey which has been largely adulterated with glucose will granulate but very little. Of course it does not follow that because the honey is not found to be granulated it is not pure, for If kept In a warm place honey will often con- tfnue for long time perfectly clear. AS a matter of fact, under the new pure food laws there is comparatively little danger of purchasing, adulterated honey. Comb honey has never been adulterated, in spite of the assertions to that effect which often have ap- peared in print. The food value of honey ought to be better known. It can be used to great advantage in cooking and can be especially recon. mended as a substitute for sugar, as 1t places almost no tax on the kidneys.

NURSERY PRECAUTIONS.
infants Nose and Ears Should Be
 Thoroughly Washed,

Be careful of baby's nose aud ears in winter. The ears are especially sen- sitive to cold, and most serious condi- tions may arise during severe wcatl- CT. To avoid any trouble give an in- fant's ears a thorough washing every day while the little one is in the bath
 In cleaning these delicate organs do not injure the drum. When removing the wax to prevent any such accident use new, nice hairpin, an article least likely to harm the sensitive mechan- ism.
 In preparing the hairpin for use twist over the loop end piece of soft linen, Never push this cleanser too far into the orifce and do not attempt to take out wax that cannot be dis tinctly seen, for certain amount is necessary to protect the drum.
 If this is done daily, there will be no surplus wax to harden. If such a con dition arises, however, there must be no attempt at home treatment, but a physician or specialist should be called. Otherwise the temporary deafness may become permanent.
 It cannot be too positively said that nothing must be put into the ear, no matter how simple you may think the application. The ear Is too sensitive, and oil, glycerin or vaseline may do serious damage.
 Unfortunately for baby, a cold in his head almost invariably settles In his ears and nose. The latter Is un- comfortable, but not serious, and ordi- nary precautions are likely to guard the former. Not until he Is two or three years old should he go out of doors without his ears being covered.
 There is practically no danger of cold in the ears while indoors except when baby is permitted to be in a direct draft. This Is one of the most dan gerous positions in which he can be placed.
 Stoppage in the nose is prevented usually by cleansing the nostrils every day precisely as the ears are done. If baby has a cold In his head, a little vaseline may be rubbed into the nose whenever he goes to sleep. A little of the grease should be put on the finger and gently inserted in the nostril.

It will not only amuse them for hours, but they will soon learn to know all the different kinds of animals and birds. Give them crayons and let them color them
