systematized the objections so often
raised against dairy work will be en-
tirely overcome, says A. J. Mcclure of
the Minnesota experiment station in
Kimball's Dairy Farmer. On our farm
all the feeding and milking are done at
the same time each day. Regularity
and system cost nothing and return
large dividends in the way of better
production and absence of friction in
doing the work. Each morning at 5:15
our dairy work is begun and each
evening at 4, winter and summer The
cows are fed twice day and watered
once day. With the exception of wa
tering, the dairy work Is finished at
o'clock in the morning. This Is until
4 in the afternoon for other work. Our
work is always done by 6 O'Clock in the
evening Dairying becomes burden
some when it is added to full days
work of some other kind. If you will
make the dairy work part of the days
work there will be less objection and
more profit.

CHAPTER XIII.

OAhAA a Eh ALL
0N Wednesday morning two
items appeared In one of the
New York newspapers, neither
OF which would strike a cas-
ual reader as being important; but. &c
far as this narrative is concerned, they
led to complications The first was
an obviously exaggerated report and
read as follows:
TEXAN FATALLY INJURED.
Mr.. Richard Williams. son OF the ia
NOUS millionaire and cattle king OF San
Antonio. Tex. was severely injured on
Sunday last in an automobile accident
He was taken TO st. Luke's hospital
where our reporter called last evening
Mr.. Williams was too Frustrated by the
shock to be interviewed, but we learn
from one In authority that the young man
IL suffering from conclusion of the brain.
besides sustaining fracture of the shout
der and internal injuries. The accident
was due TO the carelessness OF an mex
perienced chauffeur. who gave his name
a. Peter Wilson. but whose address had
not been ascertained up to a late hour
last night. The police are making In
Quiries.
The above paragraph CHANGED TO
catch the eve of certain Mr.. Logger,
who had taken the morning train for
Chicago. He was an intimate friend of
old Bill Williams and would have
gone to look after the son himself ex-
cept that urgent business necessitated
the continuance OF his journey west
Mr.. Logger therefore wired his friend
from Pittsburg, stating that Richard
had been hurt and lay at the point of
death In New York hospital
On receiving this startling informa-
ton the father became greatly agi-
tated. He had not heard from Richard
for several days and had begun TO
worry even before the receipt of Mr.
Loger's telegram. He wired at once to
the st. Regis. where he knew his son
to be stopping, and received an answer
TO the effect that Richard Williams
had not been seen since the previous
Monday morning though his dress
suit case and other belongings were
still In room No, 926, which had not
been given up.

he loved no other being on earth, COM

find only one difficulty in adjustment.

Ranchers around Anaconda have
petitioned the government to bring
suit against the Amalgamated Copper
company of Butte for the wholesale
destruction of the forest reserve III
that section, caused by the deadly
fumes from the Washoe smelter, the
largest in the world, which is located
at Anaconda. The ranchers claim
the fumes also destroy their crops.
The president called John ID. Ryan,
manager Of the copper mines in Butte,
to Washington to hear the other side
of the story. There are suits pend

TWO SOULS WITH BuTA SINGLE THOUGHT

The Judith Gap Journal is the lat
est addition to journalism. 1t is
live. wide-awake newspaper, and
seems to be in the hands of men of
experience and to be backed by Il
good plant. The Gap is, we think,
the most inhospitable place to build a
town in the state, and we would about
as soon think of Mount Edith, Scape
Goat peaks of the Rockies, or Neihart
but it is division point, and will
soon make town of thousand
people. 1t also has a rich country
around it, but it lacks water for irri-
CATION, and we dO not see how this
can be overcome, or how the town is
to attain commercial Importance UNI
der such circumstances. However,
the Gap enjoys the distinction Of be-
ing nearest the center of the state of
any other town of note. 1t will make
something of town, though, even if
largely dependent upon the railway
trade. The new newspaper venture
is boomer to "beat the band" and
has a tone about it that one is bound
to admire.
The above excerpt, mixed with COM
pliment and slams, is taken from the
Rocky Mountain Husbandman, pub
lished in Great Falls. The Suther-
lin Brothers, publishers, have lived
in this section Of Montana for thirty
four years, publishing the Husband
man ut different places hereabouts
during that long period. If they have
been close observers of recent devel-
opments in the Judith Gap country
and speak from actual knowledge of
conditions as they exist, the people
who have settled in this vicinity dur
ing the past five years and have raised
crops successfully by dry farming
during that time. have been laboring
under Il horrible delusion. For in
stance: George Finch, whose farm
adjcins the tOwlSite Of Judith Gap,
broke fifty acres in the spring of 1907,
and tb 1t fall sOwed the same to wheat
Oh tie sod. The editor of the Rocky
Mountain Hushanaman will admit, if
he is truthful. that the season of 1908
was the dryest in the past twenty
years. Under these two adverse con-
ditions, sowing on the sod and dry
year. Mr.. Finch marketed from this
piece Of land a thousand bushels of
No. hard wheat But he must have
been mistaken, according to the wise

Uncle Ira Cole, Of the Forsyth
Times, gets out one of the best weekly
papers in the state. He has recently.

speak for the farmers of Montana.
According to the Sutherlins, George
Finch could not have raised that
thousand bushels o. wheat in the
Judith Gap country without irriga-
ton, 50 he must have brought it up
from the irrigated fields in the CALI
tin valley. We didn't think George
would do that. And there is F. NJ.
Widowtield, who sold Mr.. Bring 400
bushels Of No. hard wheat this fall
and got his money for it. According
to the Sutherlins, WidOwfield must
have swipel that wheat from some
irrigated fields around Great Falls,
in which they are possibly interested.
Mr.. Widowtield says he raised it OH
his farm three miles from Judith
Gap, from little patch Of ground he
had in OH the sod this dry year. But
he surely must be mistaken, for
haven't the Sutherlins been living
here thirty-four years and don't they
tell Mr.. WidOwfield that he can't
raise crops here without irrigation?
And there is }. T. Carlson, whose
farm lies about a mile north of judi
it'll Gap, and for which he says, he
wouldn't take S7,OOO for the quarter
section-w where did he get that 400
bushels of wheat that he whee(lled
Mr.. Bring into buying this fall? He
says he raised it from small patch
of ground on his farm without irriga-
ton and in this exceptionally dry
year. We never thought Carlson was
base deceiver. But according to
the Sutherlins he is even worse than
that. And the list could be extended
to the extent of the capacity of this
paper-testimOny that would convince
any reasonable man that the Judith
Gap country is the most fertile agri-
cultural soil in the world that will
raise abundant crops by dry farming,
but the testimony would never satisfy
the Sutherlins. They are carrying OH
their persistent misrepresentation of
this country in disqualification from
week to week, retarding the settle
ment of the country to the extent OF
their circulation, and doing incalcu-
able damage to the progress Of the
city in which they live. The Suther-
Inns are not even from Missouri-they
don't want to be shown. And why?
The only Inference is that the pie
thoric pocket book OF the big irriga-
ton ditch promoters and the live
stock raisers appeals more strongly
to them than does the single subscrip-
ton of the small farmer who they are
trying to keep from settling in this
fertile valley to obtain home and II
rich competence for his labors.
In the interest of the future OF
Montana as an agricultural state: in
the interest of the thousands of home

would come here and become indie

The people of Judith Gap want the
world to understand that they are
law-abiding citizens. The town is
but three months old. Its rapid
building has attracted to the place
lot of irresponsibles who took advan-
tage of the absence of any organized
local government to commit a crime
that might have resulted i'll blood
shed. There were only five people
implicated in the affair, and they
acted so secretly that it may never be
ascertained who really are the guilty
parties. The citizens some time ago
petitioned Sheriff Williams to appoint
deputy for this town, but that Otii-
cial decided he would do nothing in
the matter until the first Of the year.
The duly elected constable for the
township was on a hunting eXpedi-
ton when the affair occurred. and
Judith Gap had no police officer what
soever at the time. Under these con-
ditions, the business men should not
be held responsible for the acts Of
five people who are not property hold
ers, and, therefore, have not the wei
fare of the town at heart. J. II.
Balm, justice Of the peace, the only
official we have in the place. is to be
commended for his prompt action III
attempting to apprehend the crimi-
nails, and in the prosecution of the
same. The Judge is determined to
hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may, and in the good
work he is doing his hands will be
upheld by every loyal citizen.
