No Mirror In Sick Room.

A trained nurse OF long experience
emphasized the necessity OF keeping
mirrors out of the sick room.
The patient should never be allowed
to look at one, as the ravages wrought
by illness in ones own face give a
shock which 1t is hard for the nurse
to soothe away.
Cases have been known in which a
patient being allowed glimpse Of
himself at a critical point of the i'll
ness took a turn for the worse, and
from that time forward sank rapidly.

an amusing story. Two friends
whom she had met while over here
had been staying with her at her
house in Helsingfors, and on leaving
gave the maid a tip.
She was very much astonished and
did not know what it meant. See
ing Nine. Malmberg's son coming
downstairs, she ran to him and said:
"They gave me money. Did they
give you any?" Hearing that they
had not done SO, she was much mys-
titled. 81 cannot understand why
they should give it to me and not to
you, when they know you much bet
ter than me" was her perplexed

Agricultural Department

THE COMMON METRO:

THE COMMON METHOD
The ideal way to prepare ground
for wheat.
The most ideal way to prepare
a field for wheat is to begin the
preparation year or more pre-
vious to the crop season; but mas
much as the common method re-
quires a crop each year the every
other year plan is eliminated.
The preparation should begin
Immediately after the header,
headers and disks working in
close conjunction. It is best to
double disk by tapping half and
the loose surface mulch thus OBJ
tanned should be diligently pre-
served until the time for blowing.
The ground should then be
p1owed, packed and narrowed,
the packers and harrows follow
ing the plows very closely. If it
is impossibleto keep plows, pack
ers and harrows all at work at
the same time, rotary pillow har-
rows should be attached, and the
packing done as soon afterward
as possible.
After each rain of sufficient
magnitude to destroy the effect
iveness of the mulch by running
it together, the mulch should be
restored to it's proper condition
by narrowing.
If the above plan be carefully
observed it will be found that as
rule the ground at seeding time
will be in an ideal condition for
the generation and development
of the wheat plant.
Throughout this county this
plan has been made use of by a
large numb Der of progressive
farmers and each has reported
favorably upon it. While in our
opinion it is not the right best or
most profitable way for this par
ticular locality, it more nearly
approaches the true scientific
principles for culture in semi
arid region than any other place
that we haye heard of.
You will notice that this meth
cd is almost identical with the
Campbell method except that
this provides for cropping each
year, while the Campbell system
crops only every other year.
The difference is wide enough
to provide for the distinct and
superlative value of the Campbell
system above all other methods
as it is the sure way while other
schemes are chances.
The editor of this department
does not feel complimented by
the manner in which his efforts
have been received. While he
has been told that he did we'll, he
has not been told that he does
not understand or apply what he
has written, and he would ap-
preciate an expression of disa-
greement. He would be indeed
complimented if there was an
expression of greater interest,
even though it be of intent con-
trary to his writings.
This county has recently been
favored with ample general rains
which with careful conserving
will provide enough moisture to
carry crops well into spring.
The vital point is to conserve.
OF the many who are now plow-
ing for spring crops there are
few who are taking the precau-
ton to follow the plow with the
harrow. This is a great error;
every effort should be to save
what we have as that is CERTAIN
ty while of the future we have no
promise.

GENERATOR.

Hugh Ferguson. an electrical engh-

of the Missoula Light & Water COM
pany. returned yesterday from Ham,
ilton. bringing news of the dire straits
In which that city has been placed
by the breakdown in the power plant.
The accident occurred two or three
days ago. and the Hamilton people.
unable to do anything with the big
machine themselves, sent to Missoula
for an engineer. Mr.. Ferguson went
at once to Hamilton and looked the
broken generator over. The machine
was in very bad shape and the COM
pany was advised to discard 1t and
get new and larger one to take its
place. They are consequently looking
for one, but with the plant broken
down. the city Ii only half lighted.
The moving picture shows have all
been closed down. houses are without
light. and the street lights are only
on a part of the time.
Hamilton is a fine town, however.
according to Mr.. Ferguson. There Is
third as much lighting business done
there" he said, "as there is In Mis-
soula.'
