LARGE YIELD ON DkY FARMS
IN THE HARDIN DISTRICT
Especial to Silver State News)


HARDIN, Mont, July 27.-Farmers
throughout this district are preparing
to increase their grain acreage for next
year as the result of the remarkable
success with wheat, oats, corn and 9th
er crops on the dry farms in the vicin-
ity of Hardin. Harvesting has been
commenced and it is the opinion of
many of the farmers that the yield in
the dry farm section will run 25 to 35
bushels an acre for wheat. Many set
tiers have been attracted to the bench
lands by the magnificent showing of
those who have crops this year and
who have demonstrated beyond doubt
that dry farming is profitable on the
bench lands of Montana. The influx of
settlers indicates that before another
year has closed there will be little gov.
ernment land remaining INDICATED in
this part Of the state.
Early sown barley and rye is out of
danger and promises a satisfactory
yield. The oat crop is expected to be
short in some instances on account, it
is said, of late planting. However, the
harvest of this grain will prove that it
can be grown here successfully.
The farmers on the bench lands are
interested in the Dry Farming con
gress which will hold its fourth session
at Billings October 26-2s, 1909, and will
be represented with exhibits at the In
ternational Exposition of Dry Farm
Products at Billings, October 2529.

The Sea Serpent.

When fourteen miles off the coast Of
Brazil NJ j. Nicoll, author of s'Three
Voyages of a Naturalist" observed a
sea serpent which came within about
fifty yards of the ship "All that we
could see was dorsal fin about four
feet long sticking up about two feet
| from the water. The fin was a brown
ish black color and much resembled q
gigantic piece of ribbon seaweed. Be-
low the wafer we could indirectly see
a very large brownish black patch, but
could not make out the shape OF the
creature Every now and then the fin
disappeared below the water. Sud
denly an eel-like neck, about six feet
long and of the thickness of mans
thigh, having head shaped like that
of turtle, appeared in front of the fin,
flashing up the water with a curious
wriggling movement. This creature

usual confusion prevailed. Timid trav-

express trains and the guards of that
particular car adjured the passengers
frequently and vehemently to s'Step

BOARD HURT BY DECISION
Commerce Commission Refers to Har
riman Case in Report.


An interesting part of the report OF
the interstate commerce commission
is the reference to the decision of the
supreme court of the United States in
the Hartman case, in which the court
held that Mr.. Hartman need not an
swer certain questions put to him by
the commission. 1t is evident that the
commission feels keenly the ruling OF
the court. The report says:
"1f this gentleman is allowed to ac-
cumulate from the manipulation OF
these public agencies (railroads) vast
sums of money which must finally
come from the body of the pepole, we
think he is so far a trustee of the peo-
pie that he can not object to stating
the manner in which these accumula-
tions have been made"
The decrease in railroad accidents
is noted and power is asked to investi-
gate wrecks for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning light on the question Of pre-
yentive measures for the future"

prosecutions. in rebate cases, the com

How ! Girl Throws.

Perhaps a better title would have
been How a Girl Doesn't Throw"
because it is well known that girl
cannot propel a ball or anything else
like a boy Most people anu all boys
conclude that this defect arises from
clumsiness, but that is a mistake.
The difference between girls throw
ing and a boys is substantially this:
The boy crooks his elbow and
reaches back, with the upper part Of
his arm about at a right angle of forty
five degrees. The direct act of throw
ing is accomplished By bringing the
arm back with a sort of snap. working
every joint from shoulder to wrist.
The girl throws with her whole arm
rigid, the boy with his whole arm re-
Taxed. Why this marked and unmis-
taxable difference exists may be ex-
planned by the fact that the clavicle
or collar bone in the feminine anatomy
is some inches longer and set some de-
gHees lower down than in the mascu-
line frame The long. crooked. awk-
ward bone interferes with the full and
free use OF the arm. This is the rca-
son why girl cannot throw a stone.
