The demand for homestead lands
near railroads in Montana is some
thing unprecedented in the history Of
the settlement OH new territories. a
year ago there was plenty Of good
claims to meet the demand, but it is
different now. In order to get de-
sirable homestead one has to go many
miles from railroad. and those for
tunate ones who have chosen good
claims should be careful to comply
strictly with the law governing home
stead entries. There are going to be
numerous contests instituted against
those who are lax in compliance with
the law by the land hungry, and it
not by them, by government inspect
ors. The day of go-as-you-please in
securing a farm from Uncle Sam is
about over. The real farmer is on
his way and wants the land.

On top Of this sub-soil, the surface
soil is pulverized by specially-con-
structed machinery to such a degree
of tineness that it appears to have
been powdered between the fingers.
This OvercOat Of dust makes a mulch
through which rain and melted snow
may percOlate to rest on the packed

little moisture can rise. This mulcl,
defeats the natural process OF capillary

After the soil is prepared then spe-
cial care must be given to the varie-

WILL SOON BE REALIZED.

The time is not far distant when
the dream Of James j. Hill for a
great north and south trunk line will
have become an accomplished fact
and the traffic of the country between
the sound and the gulf will be passing
over continuous line of rails, SAYS
the Billings Gazette. The gaps in
the great system are being closed as
rapidly as me-. and money can do
the work and it will be but a short
time before the cotton of Texas will
be moving along the new trunk line.
to be placed on ships in the Puget
sound while the wheat of the North
west will go to Liverpool by way OF
the Gull of Mexico.
Billings is peculiarly interested i'm
the completion of the great Sound to
the Gulf railway, for it will be one of
the most important points upon the
system. 1t is here that the great Hill
transcontinental lines, both east and
west and north and south will come
together. and Billings will be a CEN
ter in one of the greatest transporta-
ton systems upon the continent.
The completion of the north and
south trunk line will give adequate
and rapid communication with the
rapidly developing regions of north
ern Wyoming, and it will give the
best of opportunities for the opening
up OF the vast region lying to the
northward of this city. With the
best Of facilities for handling all the
business that can be developed, the
new trunk line will place Billings in
Il commanding position so far as the
trade of the regions both north and
south are concerned. Taken in CON
nection with the railway facilities to
the east and west, the day of the
commercial supremacy of the metrop-
oils Of the Yellowstone cannot long
be deferred.
Billings is today recognized as the
logical trading point for territory
extending for hundreds Of miles, but
it's prestige rs a commercial center
will be greatly enhanced when it has
been placed upon another trunk line
which will give to the regions of
eastern Montana and northern Wyo-
ming development SO rapidly as to
make past performances look in
significant indeed.
When the wheat of eastern Mon
tana is sent to the Seaboard without
the long haul now necessary, the pro
dnction will be vastly stimulated and
this will mean more farmers upon the
lands of the northwest, and more
trade for the Billings wholesalers and
jobbers. In turn this will make fol
greater Billings. and for increased
prosperity for us all.

THE BEST STATE IN THE UNION.

Prof. Thomas Shaw, the man James
j. Hill calls the greatest farmer on
earth," told the Commercial Club at
Missoula Monday night that he hon.
estly and emphatically believed that
the state of Montana would eventual
ly be the greatest cereal-producing
state in the whole Union. Speaking
of the state at large, he said:
81 dare say that there is no state in
the Union about whose resources the
outside world has such an incorrect
idea as about those of Montana. AS
l reported only recently to the Great
Northern, after careful inspection,
l find an area extending 100 miles from
the Canadian border and between Da-
kota on The east and the mountains
on the west. OF 20 .OOO,OOO acres of ara
bic land, land that can be titled with
the plow and made to produce good
crops by dry farming methods. How
many acres lie south OF this in the
state do not yet know.
''This land mentioned can all be
farmed so each acre will produce 20
bushels of winter wheat at least every
other year, some every year"
Professor Shaw held that to rotate
grain with corn fodder crops the land
would be made more valuable and that
this crop, which would mean the same
as summer following for the grain
land, will solve the bench land farm
ing in the Treasure state.
The speaker entered into the details
of his subject in an interesting man
ner and in such manner as to leave
no doubts as to the correctness. Con-
Guiding, he said:
Montana has tremendous POSSIBLE
tiles in agriculture. 1t is a foregone
conclusion, beyond peradventure of
a doubt, that within the very near flu
ture Montana will lead all other states
in cereal grain production and may in
some other crops.
