States department of agriculture ex-

will be short of the high record Of last
year-3,624 100000 bushels-yet the
crop is reasonably certain to go down

The population Of Cleveland is $780,

cent, as compared with 3S1,1GS in 1900.
The returns for Cleveland establish
that city as one of the large centers
of population of the country, lifting il
to a point above Pittshurg and com
paratively close behind St. Louis and
Boston.
The balance of trade, which the sta

Therefore the older u pig the less he
has to make gains. You perceive the
point at once-the larger, then. the sire
and dam the earlier will be the time
your pigs will reach a marketable age.
Then one point that people have
been overlooking in llogs-they have
been selecting for early maturity.
Early maturity, of course. small
size. They have got a hog that they
call of very high quality. Quality is
very much a matter Of condition.
Where they have been selecting for
quality. usually. they have been select
ing for fattening tendency. A fatten-
ing hog is one that natures early and
gets ripe at an early age. So that we
have this condition of affairs-that
many times the improved hog is not
as good as one that is not so highly
improved. So the hog that is being
developed for breeding purposes
should never be allowed to get into
that degree of finish where we require
market hogs to get, and the amount of
weight and rations should not be re-
duced to so small a quantity.

ton of Montana at a meeting held in
Buford, by reason of the cancellation
Of certain water rights by the federal
authorities.
The principal purpose of the meet
ing was to determine what action
might be advisable in restoring to
landowners their water rights. The
season has been a poor one, and in or
der to alleviate the situation the Wa
ter users are hopeful of securing new
rulings from the government with
reference to the payment of taxes fo1
the water rights and for the work OF
construction, which seemingly has cost
much more than original estimates al
low for.
In December a payment is due the
government on the lands, and it is to

sessment for 1911 cover an amount
just large enough to care for the
operating expenses. and then in the
following years they would be willing
to meet an increased assessment
which would pay for the construction
work.
Settlers in the irrigated district
came with but a small amount of cap.
ital. They cannot mortgage their
lands, and thus the only manner in
which they can secure money is on
chattles, on which they must pay IL
per cent.
One thing the settlers hope to &C.
complish is that of evading litigation
of any kind, inasmuch as any meas
e of that nature would entail addi.
tional expense, which would only serve
to increase the hardships under which
many are now laboring.

DIET FADs ATTACKED.
Physician Disputes Some Ideas About
Foods and Nutrition.

Foods and Nutrition.
A Britisher IS your true "knocker''
Of fads. provided he turns ut all in
that direction. DR.. A. l.. Bencdic, has
taken this tangent and has set about
disputing a lot of ideas concerning
foods and nutrition.
Few people. comparatively, a too
much; most of them. through fad
foods. economy and lack of condition
for a normal appetite. don't eat
enough.
A cooked egg is more nourishing
than an egg eaten raw.
Sugar. used to the extent of three to
four ounces a day, is n of the cheap
est and best foods for the develop
ment Of energy; if not all digcsted, it
isn't as harmful to the digestive Or
gans as are the undigested fats and
proteids.
Starch never advances far toward d.
gestion in the stomach; the pancreas
deals with it easily and effectively.
Fruits, nuts. desserts and the like
are unnecessary to the physical needs
Of the system.
Excepting the olive. almost the only
vegetable foods that contain appreci-
able fats are nuts.
Meat and many vegetables contain
as much phosphorus or brain food"
rs does the fishiest fish.
A Welsh rabbit is sterile, highly nu-
tritious and no harder to digest than
is milk curd. It's what you drink with
it after midnight that hurts.
The best bouillon and other clear
soups have about 6 per cen of proteid
content. Beef tea is about as nourish-
ing as is the water in which an egg
has been poached.
OF eggs and milk. the calories of a
days rations should call for twenty
five eggs or three quarts of milk. AS
to raw oysters. % pounds yield fifty
calories. Which is about one-twelfth
of what a person needs of proteid.
No healthy person should be n semi

FIRE BEING INVESTIGATED
Evidence Of Incendiarism Found in
Blaze at Beicourt.

While the investigation into the
cause of the fire that destroyed the In
dian school at Belcourt has not been
completed enough evidence has been
gained to make it appear that the
blaze was of incendiary origin. The
school, operated by the government,
was totally destroyed and there had
been no fire of any kind in the build
ing. 1t will be necessary to resort to
the old school building for the COM
ing year.

Removing Old Paint From Iron.

The following is DR.. M. F. Bonzano's
recipe for preparing caustic potash I've
for removing old paint from iron: Dis
solve two pounds Of potash in a buck

pounds Of slaked lime and stir it we'll.
With a mop apply this mixture to the
paint, and after a few minutes it may
be easily removed by scraping. AS
