Has a taking name and many adj
!vantages, and not a few disadvantages.
Those who go there to write up the
country, generally are guests Ct trans
%rortation companies, and the tempta-
ton is groat to say about all that car
e said of its good qualities, .nd to.
.ouch lightly, If at all, its fallings. But
the settler going there, o to any other
location, should, If possible, .kuow It
ALL" It is more important, in fact, to
know the leading drawbacks Of q coun-
try one is going to, than to know its
greatest advantages; that is. Of course
Il one is moving there with a family
and intends to stay.
Few know, or at least seem to, that
altitude has very much to do with the
value Of lands for agricultural pur-
poses, that in a mountainous country,
for instance, a few miles only apart,
one section will make five cuttings of
alfalfa and another only two, that corn
and other warm country plants will
mature nicely in one part of a county,
while in others, ven wheat and oats
are liable to he frosted Eat both ends
All these things which have little
bearing in a generally level section
like Illinois and Iowa, may mean ruin
or success in Montana or Washing
ton.
Those born and raised in Colorado,
Oregon or the states named need no
prompting upon these vital local con-
ditions; but uniformed people com
ing from the east are very liable to be
misled. We believe more attention
should be given these matters when
writing of, or writing up" the reg
ions to the west of us.
Just now many Of our people are
giving less attention to the treeless,
hill-less plains Of Canada and are
carefully looking into the merits and
dement's of the hill lands to the west
Of us. We are glad to note this, and
still even in these parts, we know the
greatest care should be exercised or
grave and v ruinous mistake can
be made. Many inquiries are reaching
us about the merits of judith Basin
and similar locations. We would refer
all Of these to Mr.. Hughes letter in
the Nov. LIST issue N dry subsoils;
also to Prof. Shaw's letter in same is

and altitude make this a region Of
short seasons and extremes of tenn
perature between day and night, but
the Chinook winds from the mountains
make the winter climate fully as
agreeable as that Of the prairies Of
the middle west.
THE total annual precipitation
ranges from IA to 20 inches, according
to the proximity of the mountains. The
greater partaof precipitation falls dur
ing April. May and June-the growing
months. The summer and fall are
usually quite dry. Soil is waxy, stocky
clay, mixed with more or less coarse
gravel. Predominating color Of soft
when dry is dark and when wet is
black. 1t does not cake on drying, but
crumbles easily, making it possible
to maintain an operative farm in good
physical condition.
"At the experimental suh-station
farm the soil is from three to four
feet thick, underlaid with gravel mix
ed with clay. In most localities at a
depth Of 20 feet or more a cement is
formed which produces a solid rock
foundation. Domestic water is pro
cured from wells, the water supply APP
parently coming from the surrounding
mountains. Artesian wells are OBJ
tanned by drilling to a depth Of about
1000 feet. Buffalo grass, grama
grasses and stipa form the natural
sod.
Most of the settlers are coming
from Montana or other western states
and are we'll equipped to meet the
conditions existing. They are operat-
ing entirely under so-called ""dry farm
ing" They crop the ground every
other year, working the seed bed down
very fine and mellow on the surface,
SOW thin, and depend largely on win
ter wheat. According to reports SUBJ
mitted by experts they are making
some mistakes, such as shallow plow-
ing, and p1anking the surface after
seeding, thus leaving the surface
smooth and solid insead Of loose. Both
these errors are serious as is shown
by comparative results between deep
plowed and we'll narrowed fields and
fields where careless work has been
accomplished.
Some Of the Judith Basin farmers
/, allow the summer-fallow to lie In stub
BILE instead of blowing and cultivating.
Reports show that late seeding Of
spring grains is another error. In
spite Of these criticisms, the farming
In the Judith Basin Is, In the opinion
Of experts, much better than In most
farming sections Of the country. One
legitimate excuse for poor farming in

EASTERN TRUNK LINES GREATLY
CONCERNED OVER 6. p. LINE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE vice
presidents and general managers OF
the Eastern trunk lines today met and
discussed the proposed advance in
freight rates. Two subcommittee
were appointed to seek a solution OF
the difficulties in the way of the In
Icrease, such as the objection of the
shippers and the ~disagreements among
the railroads as to the amount of the
proposed advance. 1t is not regarded
as probable that the proposed new
tariffs will be decided before January
!.
The extension of the Canadian Paci-
fic dispatch "All rail- fast freight Zine
to New York City by way Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road has been taken up by the trunk
line association. The chairman of the
association said it was a matter de-
manding immediate attention and that
the roads interested would probably
try to make the New York, New Haven
and Hartford see the error Of 1t by the
use of moral suasion. He declared
positively that there would be no rate
cutting war because OF the invasion
OF the trunk line territory by the Cana
dian company.
MONTREAL, Que, Dec. 17.-G. NJ.
Bosworth, head of the tarffic depart
ment of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
made the following statement tonight
in regard to the report sent out that
the trunk line railroads are contem-
plating a freight rate war on account
of the action of the Canadian Pacific
dispatch line in reducing rates:
The present rates OF the Canadian
Pacific line were established last May
and have been In effect since then.
