the little boy had ventured to
climb upon the manger in the stall
where the horse was tied, in order
to secure a brible, but, III soma
manner, lost his balance, falling
back beneath the horse, where he
was kicked or stamped in some
manner. However, when picked
up his jawbone was found t. be
dislocated and his face was severity

We also understand that Mr..
Erickron, who first attempte 4 to

from the general land Office will
60 into effect January, 1909, that
will make things rather unpleasant
for great number Of girls who are
holding down claims. Under for
mer rulings postmasters and their
clerks, state and county officers and

land without living on same, pro.
viding they mad established res
idence before the appointment.
So many Of the girls and women
are taking advantage Of these pro-

has finally taken the step that wo-

are being introduced this year,
looking towards the elimination Of
the one-crop system of farming by
substituting variety Of crops that
can be grown to advantage in ro-
tat on.
While in Montana I had an op-
portunity to observe for the first
time a gasoline traction engine in
operation. A 22-horsepower out
tit was at work plowing up sod land
on tie open prairie. I spent one
day following this. engine III order
to collect reliable cata on its pre-
formance. From the information
obtained at this time, together wi tn
that previously secured from reliable
men who had had experience with
gasoline engines in plowing, am
convinced that its success is prac-
tically assured. The gasoline en-
gine is quite simple in its mechan-
ism and is easily handled, only two
men being required to operate
both engine and plows.
The gasoline engine proposition
for plowing and other farming op-
erations is entirely feasible where
farming is done on a large scale,
but it would not be practical for the
small farmer to own and operate
an outfit. However, a number Of
small farmers could join together
in the purchase Of an engine with
out involving themselves as heav.
lily as by purchasing the horses
necessary to 10 the same amount of
work. This method is followed in
the West in buying thrashing out
fits and is found thoroughly prac-
tical.
If it is possible to produce crops
at cost Of 81 to 81 less per acre
by the use of gasoline engines on
our dry farms this method should
be adopted. The saving would be
remarkable. especially where the
average yield of wheat per acre
probably does ,,ot exceed Is bush.
els. Some 20 of these plowing
ou Tits have been placed in Mont
ana this year. In my judgment
the gasoline plowing outfit is here
to stay and will aid materially in
the cheap production of farm crops
on our dry lands.

BEEF TOOK A BIG DROP,

Supplies of western range cattle
last week were 5000, liberal
number for this time of the season,
which, along with an enormous
marketing of natives and the sharp
break in prices for the same, prov
ed too much for selling interests.
Rates for beef steers took a big
drop, the decline from late the pre-
vious week being anywhere from
25@4Oc. Even with this break
prices were comparatively high, in
view of the palmer quality of the
arrivals. Tops made $6.25, we

Arrivals of western rangers last
week included few mutton offer

show material change from late last
week. The great bulk of the offer

these were fully steady with late
last week. Many urgent orders for
feeders, especially lambs, were
still untitled at the close of the

DRY LAND
FARMING
BY y. S. Agronomist Jar
dimes recent Bulletin
in Terry Tribune.
MONTANA EXPERIMENTS,

For the past three years the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
Station, in cooperation with GER
tain railroad systems, has been
conducting experiments in dry
land agriculture in various sections
of the state. One of the stations
is located near Forsythe, in the Yel-
lowstone Valley, about 100 miles
east of Billings. I visited this sta
tion on my way to Bozeman and
found there some very interesting
developments. Up to the present
time this particular section Of
Montana has been devoted almost
entirely to grazing. However, as
the result Of the two crops harvested
on this experimental farm many of
the ranchers are now either selling
out to prospective farmers or have
begun farming themselves.
The yields 50 far obtained there
have been most satisfactory. Tur-
key Red wheat last year produced
58 bushels to the acre, while num-
ber of other winter varieties yield
ed above 40 bushels. AS much as
2 tons Of alfafa hay has been har=
vested per acre; also $50 bushels Of
potatoes, SO bushels Of oats, and
other hardy crops in equally large
quantities.
The altitude OF this station is be-
tween $500 AMI 3, 600 feet and the
climate is much milder than that of
the western Dakotas. The average
annual precipitation is between Ii
and Is inches. Last year when the
yields above mentioned were se-
cured, there was little more than Is
inches of rainfall, 6 to 7 of which
came during the growing season.
There is every indication that a
large percentage Of the tillable land
Of eastern Montana heretofore
grazed will be brought under cul-
tivation within the next few years.
Each month new settlers are mov-
ing into this country.
My chief purpose in visiting
Montana at this time was to begin
work on the Fergus County SUBJ
station, recently established. The
first crops are to be seeded this
spring, but owing to the lateness of
the season it was impossible for me
to accomplish anything by visiting
the station itself; hence I did not
go farther than Bozeman, where I
met Professor Atkinson and Mr..
Nelson, the two men in charge of
the work. Mr.. J. s. Cole, recently
appointed in the Office of Dry Land
Agriculture Investigations, accom-
panied me and remained in Mont
ana to look after the spring plant
ing. Our work will be thoroughly
established there this spring. We
are planting this year IN plats and
in the nursery q hundred or more
varieties of spring grains, and hope
to secure considerable information
that can be used Immediately to
good advantage by the farmers, as
we'll as to accumulate data of value
for the further and permanent i'm
provement of crops for this section.
The principal grain crop now
grown here is wheat. The two
main varieties are Turkey Red win
ter wheat and Kubanka durum
spring wheat. The winter wheat
is preferable, as it yields 10 to 20
bushels more per acre than the best
spring wheat known. Various crops

That I'm a bird upon a tree"

Among the blossoms fluttered by,
And asked her mate, who wander

who would not be a butterfly"
A tiny little daisy-hower
Enclosed her eyes when passed the

And smiled to feel the suns warm

1T is so sweet to be a flower"
A gentle, playful Summer breeze
Blew DER the fields and stirred the
trees,
And whispered to each one of

PEWTER A FAD.
Articles Made of This Metal Grow
ing in Favor.

Pewter is rapidly regaining the
high place it once held in the
hearts of American housewives.
Time was when it was much more
highly regarded than silver-plated
ware and ranked second only to
solid silver.
Apparently that time is return
ing. Nor is it without reason.
Pewter, while not one of the preci-
GUS metals, is full of artistic posi-
bilities. Its dull luster lends itself
to all sorts of decorative effects and
and the FURNISHED finish CLEANS al
most as brilliantly as the true white
metal. Moreover, it recalls the
really refined simplicity of colonial
days. 1t is particularly effective
against the fine old mahogany of
grandma's time, or the rosewood of
the at-grdndmammaS
Set against a shining back
ground, pewter is pleasing to those
who value the aesthetic above the
costly. The ware comes in graceful
shapes, including tea urnS, tea, cof-
fee and chocolate pots, fiagons,
tankards, mugs and gobletS. Pew
ter plates are singularly decorative
and the platters and bread trays
are not without their place in the
general art scheme. Thus far the
pewter relics dug up from the curl
osity shops have been devoted
largely to the adornment of walls
and cabinets but it is predicted the
ware shortly will be in more practi-
cal use when womankind of to-day
realizes its worth as fully as did the
woman of a hundred years ago

Fell Short.

New York, Nov. 5.-Attention
began to turn today to the vote of
the Socialist, Prohibition and the
Independence parties. 1t appears
the Socialists have been disappoint-
ed in their widely avowed expecta-
tons of casting a million for Debs"
and in some states had even fallen
below their vote four years ago. In
general, however, their vote showed
a material increase.
AS for the Prohibition vote, it's
totals present a great disappoint-
ment to those who expected the
prohibition wave that has swept
several states into the dry column
during the past two years would
show surprising increases in the
,, vote Of the party which makes le-
gal prohibition of the liquor traffic
its chief issue.
In Chicago the Socialists polled
$4,000 in 1904. Tuesday they reg
istered less than 10000 votes.
Cincinnati and Cleveland, hereto
fore strong Socialist centers accord
ing to leaders of the party. polled a
greatly decreased vote. The Mil.
waukee Socialistic vote shows an

vote was about doubled. The to

AGENT COMING TO ENSLEY

Ensley, June 25.-(SpeciaD-Th dispatch from Washington in this mornings Age Herald stating that the bids for the site of the proposed Ensley postoffice building had been opened and that only one bidder had offered a site, was the cause of much comment on the streets today. As will be remembered, an appropriation of $6o,Oo0 for site and federal building had been re- gently made by congress, and few weeks ago sealed bids for sites were ad vertised by the government. Only two were offered, both by the same party, s. $. Purkette, who offered the southwest corner of Avenue E and Twenty-first street at $23, 750, and the northwest corner Of Avenue E and Twenty-second street at s21, 900. A postoffce official, in speaking of the bids said:
 Tn my opinion, the bids are prohibitive as one would consume nearly half the en- tire appropriation. I do not mean to say the lots are not wo' tn the figures as had, as I suppose they are based on the actual market values, but don't think the gov- ernment will spend that much money on site. However, it will be up to the government agent, who will be sent to look up the property as to whether he thinks the location and other conditions are suitable"

DEMOCRATS NEED
 CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Washington, June 25.-The democratic congressional committee is confronting hard proposition in the matter of money to carry on the campaign and Representa- tive Lloyd, it's chairman, will go to New York early tomorrow for the purpose of breaking into some of the barrels of dem- ccrats in whose loyalty to the party he has confidence. The fact is the commit tee has begun it's work two months ahead of schedule time this year. and while it usually calls for money in September 1t Is stated that its work is so far ad- vanced that it must now have funds or call a halt in the sending out of it's litera- ture. It has made extensive preparations which 1t is ready to put into effect Tn keeping with. the early campaign project MT Lloyd today stated that he does not expect to have his campaign brought to standstiIl, and he believes the result Of his visit to New York will be to allow him to go ahead with the execution of plans that have been made.
