Comparatively New Study,
1.-The study of modern, scientific
agriculture is comparatively a new
study. A great many people think
those college fellows don't know
enough to put crop in the ground or
hoe row Of tnrnips. Well, it isn't
necessary that they should. Your
agricultural college and the others
are in touch with all the advanced
thought in scientific agriculture III the
world. And all that these men have
learned by experiments and thought
IS the common property Of all. 1t
would take practical farmers 50 years
Of their time and then they would not
begin to learn what these men have
discovered about scientific farming,
simply because they don't know that
modern scientific agriculture calls for
as high a degree of intellect as any
other science.
The farmers haven't the time or the
knowledge to do all these things that
All experiment station and agricultu-
ral college do for them. Let the ex-
pertinent stations analyZe the soils
and adapt the seed to the soil and the
soil to the seed, ascertain the best
time to plant and the proper rotation
of crops. That is the proper work OF
your experimental farm and agricul-
tural college. Let me, however, adj
wise you to be very careful in whose
hands you place this important work.

DRY Farming" Mislead ing.

"Cha nge the name. Montana is
neither dry nor arid" That is the
motto of at least Il number Of the
delegates who are attending the dry
farming congress, which opened so
happily and auspiciously at Billings
Tuesday morning. The changing of
the name is one of the principal ques-
tions before the convention, and one
OF the chief questions to be decided,
along with the next place Of meeting
and the election of new officers. A
very large and very insistent portion
of the congress assembled at Billings
insist the 'dry" does not express or
define the kind of farming which is
vivifying with the tend of life the
millions of acres which were included
by the geographers Of a generation or
two ago in "'rhe Great American
Desert" At former "dry-farming"
conventions efforts have been made
to change the name, but they were
unsuccessful. This time the effort to
Change the name seems more deter
mined and seems to be likely to sue
ceed. The idea of those who favor
changing the name is that the present
designation, dry" is both mislead-
ing and inaccurate. The plan is not

CUTS HIS THROAT WITH RAZOR
I'd Mackin, a Sheep herder, Attempts to
Commit Suicide Saturday Morning.

Ed Mackin attempted to commit
suicide early Saturday morning by
cutting his throat from ear to ear
with a razor. Mackin for the last
three years has been in the employ of
the WinnecoOk sheep company, sta
toned near Bercail siding, Mt which
place he attempted to take his life.
1t seems that he had but recently
returned from Harlowton, where he
lmbibed rather freely, and that the act
was committed during reaction of
the hilarious time ut HarlOwton.
Mackin is \ single man, so years of
age. and has lived in this district
since 1896.
The razor was drawn from ear to
ear. but did not penetrate deep enough
to prove fatal. His windpipe was cut
nearly through, being gashed in IL. zee
places. Lee Thomas discovered him
III this condition and immediately
loaded the man into a rig and drove
70 Bercail siding. bringing him to the
Gap on the morning train, where
medical services were given by DR..
Motfet. At the present time he is do
ing nicely, and although there are
several operations to be made there
is no doubt as to his ultimate recoy-
erN.

JAMES J. HILLS SPEECH
Delivered Tuesday at the Dry Farming Congress---Rail
roads are Anxious to Help Build Up Country.

James j. Hill, chairman Of the
board OF directors of the Great North
ern railroad, was given great oya-
tion of applause, mingled with cheers,
Tuesday at Billings, as he was Intro
duced by Governor Norris as the chief
of our railroad builders and opera
tors. He spoke for nearly an hour on
the general subject of |'The Develop
ment of the West
II feel more at home in a farmers
meeting than anywhere else," said
Mr.. Hill. although l am not a
member of the Methodist church,
have attended Methodist meetings
enough to like the privilege of talking
back, and intend to utilize that priv
ilege as long as / can. The develop
ment OF the west is too big a subject
for me to handle today, and shall
only enter upon some phases Of it.
1.-The development of the west be-
gan with its discovery and explora-
tion by trappers and hunters, and
then came the discovery of gold.
remember back when the first expedi-
ton was driven back by hostile H.
dians somewhere west OF the Missouri
river. but it came back the next year.
am not one Of those who want to
bury the 0ld-timers; those men and
women-fOr the women, too, deserve
credit-they were angels or they
couldn't have done it. The men and
women came by wagon and stage all
the way from Corinne to Helena.
Later. when the gold placer mining
was over came the silver and copper
mining. Montana probably produces
as much rs any Of the mining states
in the production of some 80 minerals.
This mining development has and is
serving good purpose for the future
upbuilaing Of the state, for it has EN-
abled the people who came here to
pay higher prices for products. II
necessary they could pay $50 sack
for flour. You couldn't have lived in
this country if you had to depend
solely on the cultivation of the soil at
that time.
Guarded by Troops.
Later the Northern Pacific rail-
road came through. The railroad
camps were guarded by United States
troops. for it was no light matter to
build a railroad in those days. 1ttook
great deal of patience then and long
years OF waiting and much failure.

When we look now at the splendid
trains and the fine. graded track, we
are apt to forget that the road is the
result Of three Of four failures. 1t
was apt to be failure, for if you put
railroad in the garden of Eden and
had none but Adam and Eve patron
iZe the road, it would be bound to be
failure.
1T is easier to build road into
Montana now. You need many more
miles of railroad in Montana that you
haven't got yet. And let me give you
a word of advice here; be good neigh
bOrs to your railroads. Before the
railroads can get one dollar in your
borders, you've got to earn it and pay
it to them. 1t would be the worst of
policy for the railroads to seek to in
jure you and hamper you in any way,
any more than a father would injure
his own children. We have got to
prosper with you or be poor Will,
you.
In this subject of the developm ent
Of the West We are more interested
just now in the development that is
coming in the future, and in the very
near future, than in the past. When
we reach the development that is
coming. and it is very near to us, we
will be the equal Of any part Of our
great country.
Back in the 'iOs a man in congress
III a public speech thanked God that
the country was bounded by an i'm
passible mountain barrier on the west
and by great barren desert on the
southwest. where it was impossible
for any human being to live, and that
is the land that is being developed to-
day largely by what is called "dry"
farming. don't like that name dry
farming but intelligent farming will
exist.

During his trip Mr. Churchill's Eng

Gus and swiftly fatal fever. A daily
dose of ten grains OF quinine warded
off malaria in the case of Minister
Churchill.
He describes the Uganda Protector

forests of SURPRISING grandeur and

cursed with malignant attributes.
Never a White Mans Country.
Every white man seems to feel
sense of indefinable oppression and
Mr.. Churchill says it will never be
a white mans country, adding:
"a cut will not heal, scratch fes-
tiers. In the third year of residences
even a small wound becomes a run
ming sore. One day man feels per-
fectly well; the next, for no appar-
.ent cause, he is PROSTATE with ma
laria, and with malaria of a peculiar
ly persistent kind, turning often In
the third or fourth attack to black
water fever"
While wild animals abound with
out number, the danger from them,
Mr.. Churchill says, is less than from
the tsetse fly, which when infected
in a manner yet undetermined by
scientists becomes deadly assassin.
The zone OF the fly is confined 10
the trees and the bushes and near
the water, and it may therefore be
avoided.
According to Mr.. Churchill, this
deadly insect first appeared In the
Kingdom OF Uganda in the summer OF
