STOP DRINKING!
Drink. Cure Effected o. Money
Refunded.

It was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once a year. and
some times In every fit OF rep1prso
that followed his debauohes, and chen!
Break 1t.
But now it is gradually drawtng. ont
the world that pledges do NOT stop
drunkenness. When q man takes a.
pledge voluntarily. he expects~te keep
it. Every man expects to keep his.
word and every broken pledge costs,
the drunkard many q heartache. But
he cannot help 1t. He fights n long
as he can, then succumbs to the crav-
ing. The nervous system of the bebi-,
tual drinker is diseased and he must
have treatment that will cure this
condition.
Orrine is sold under a positive guar
antee to cure the drink habit or the
money will be refunded. No othee

thus described:
Alfalfa tea," will be the coming
feed for hogs in eastern Montana,
according to DR.. w. X. Sudduth who
has returned from the northern Sec
ton, of the county, where his large
stock farm is to be changed into a
hog ranch that will produce from
5000 to 5000 hogs annually. These
hogs are to be fed on what the doc
tor terms "Alfalfa Tea''.
This tea will enable the farmers of
the Yellowstone valley to utilize the
stalks of the alfalfa, the portion of
the hay crop that is tramped under
foot and of which hundreds of thou
sands of tons are wasted annually.
The stalks, according to DIR. Sudduth,
contain more protein per ton than
bran, for which the farmer has to
pay 800 per ton, and it costs practic-
ally nothing, being the portion that
is left after the stock have eaten the
best of it.
This alfalfa stalk is to be placed in
large watts and is to be stepped by
meaLs S of heated coils until the en-
tire mass is mushy cruel and which
will he added to small amount of
grain and sugar beet slop and car
ried around the ranch in tanks and
drawn off to feed the hogs. Young
pigs and growing hogs will be raised
on this until they reach the fatten-
ing period, when they will be given
larger food portions of sugar beets
and grains and will be topped with
corn.

FOE. Mas querade M. E. Revival Closed

AS result of the recent revival
held at the M. f. Church, there was
more than twenty conversions and re-

bled to htar the way Of salvation ex-
planned was large and attentive.
There was ar utter lack of the sensa-

The remaining two days of the
Montana Eleventh Legislative assem-

bills. Several bills were passed the
past few days. Both the upper and

A new departure in the Montana
livestock industry is contemplated by
several cattle men who find that the
range system of beef production is
rapidly becoming matter of history
says the Ft. Benton River Press
With land holdings capable of grow
ing most of the necessary forage, and
a home market for an almost unlim-
tied supply of pork, they look upon
hog raising as proposition with
millions in it,
One of the outfits about to en-
bark in the hog raising industry is
the Empire Cattle Company, whose
ranch is located near Chinook, and
in which ex-senator w. A. Clark of
Butte, and A. J. Davidson of Hele-
ma, are largely interested. The
foundation herd of their hog ranch d,
consisting of a carload of brood sows,
was received at the ranch last week,
and additions to the herd will be
made from time to time.
1t has been demonstrated by the
Flowerree outfit, in Teton county,
that there is good profit in hog rails
ing in Montana. Mr.. Flowerree
states that for several seasons he has
made good success of the venture,
the feed for the animals consisting
principally of alfalfa. In the sum-
mer seasons the hogs are turned
loose in the alfalfa field, and if the
pasture is not overcrowded it contin-
ues to produce good crop Of hay.
That hog raising is a success in
the Yellowstone country is conceded
by stockmen in that part of Monta-

were somewhat neglected. The fig

This amount covers the maintenance

GEORGE RYAN, GREAT NORTHERN INDUSTRIAL AGENT VISITED

--OTHER ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

G. F. Ryan, the Great Northern
immigration and Industrial agent,
was in the city yesterday. He was on
his way to st. Paul from the Dry
Farming Congress, which was held
in Cheyanne, Wyo., last week, and
stated that the meeting was very sue
cessful and that great good will result
from the gathering. In regards to
the spring immigration Mr.. Ryan
said that he was positive that Malta
would receive it's share of the new
settlers, as the excursion rates extend
as far as Malta. Enquiries are COM
ing in daily into our st. Paul office
regarding the Milk River Valley"
said Mr.. Ryan, "and in answer we
truthfully tell them that the Milk
River Valley is one of the greatest
agricultural empires in the west,
where there is abudant resources for
the poor as we'll as for the rich. To
judge from the many satisfactory
letters Malta will witness a large in
tiux into her immediate vicinity of
well-to-do, practical and thorough
farmers who will arrive with all ne
cessities to 60 right to work breaking
up virgin soil. look for an excel
lent season and believe that if practi-
cal farmers get here by the first of
April they can plow, seed and harvest
a good crop of grain"
