N. P. LANDS
ON MARKET

The compaign started by the citi-
zens of Roundup several months ago
to have the Northern Pacific Railway
company place their holdings OH the
market has finally borne fruit. Land
Commissioner Thomas Cooper, of
the N. r., who was in the city Tues
day. made the positive statement be-
fore Il gathering of the business men
OF the city in the Pioneer Club rooms
that the lands owned by the n. =. in
Musselshell county would be placed
on the market within thirty days,
and that local agent would be ap-
pointed to look after the business. 1t
was certainly joyful news to hear that
the vast holdings of the railroad
company, which comprise about one
half of Mnsselshell county and which
il now lying idle, would be thrown
open for settlement and cultivation,
thus bringing about great change in
conditions rs they exist here now.
MIR. Cooper arrived here Tuesday
afternoon in an auto from Columbus,
accompanied by John Hughs, eastern
land agent, and land appraiser.
News Of their coming was received
by Secretary +. +. Parriott of the
Commercial Club and meeting was
arranged for that evening. At the
meeting Mr.. Cooper stated that the
company had fully decided to dispose
Of their lands. He went on to say that
the price had not been definitely de-
cided upon but that the average price
would be about $500 per acre, with
maximum price of s2OOO. The lands
will be sold in units of 100 acres each,
not moe than 32O acres being sold to
any one party. Sales will be made on
ten year contracts, one-tenth of the
total amount being payable at the
time OF purchase, and the balance in
nine equal payments bearing six per
cent interest.
AS II protection against land specu.
latOrs, provisions are made in the
contract for the cultivation Of the
land thus purchased. One-temth of
of the land will have to be cultivated
the first year, one-fifth III the second
and another fifth in the third. No
deeds will he issued unless this is
complied with Roundup Record.

Emil Bragg Has Sure Death.

Emil Bragg. one of the sue.
etssful farmers Of this section. says
the following. il followed closely,
will surely eradicate the pests:
Take 4 quarts of oats and ! quarts
Of wheat and boil IN water until en-
t'rely soft. but not mushy: dissolve
"he-lalf ounce of strychnine in IA
mixture of hot water and vinegar.
squeeze an amount Of the water ont
OF the grain slightly greater than the
amount Of the strychnlne solution:
place your grain in Il tub, boiler or
some suitable vessel large enough to
admit OF thorough mixing: stir con
stantly while pouring in the strvcl.-
l'lne solution. Make syrup with
brown sugar quite thick; pour this
mixture over the grain. stirring con.
stantly meanwhile. The mixture is
now ready for use. Plow new fur
row entirely around the field into
which scatter this mixture. As most
OF the gophers come from the neigh
boring fields. they stop in this furrow
to eat the grain and are immediately
killed.
TO over your own field carefully
and drop some of the mixture into
the holes you may find, and you will
thus destroy all the pests that NAV be
enclosed within the furrow. This
mixture Mr.. Bragg tried on two
S"plers caught I'M IL trap and placed
III a box, placing eight grains in the
box. and after eating six grains the
confined gophers died immediately.
one grain of this mixture is sufficient
to cause death.

ALL FARMERS SHOULD
SELECT BEST SAMPLES

AS the fall an winter season of 1911
is going to be the greatest year for
shows and eXpOsitiOns, wherein the
best grain and farm products in the
northwest will be exhibited, farmers
should be on the look out for good
sheaves of prize winning grains as
the harvest time approaches.
Minnesota, North and South Dako-
ta, Montana, Washington. Idaho and
Oregon will be represented ut many
OF these shows, particularly at the
big Northwest Land Show which is
to be held in st. Paul in Decpm ber.
1t is necessary therefore that those in
charge of these exhibits get into touch
with the farmers having samples of
fine. well matured grains. The
Northwestern Development League
which has headquarters in st. Paul,
will be glad to put farmers in touch
with those in each state having charge
of the exhibits. Before it is too late
the grain grower should select his ex-
position samples as they will be need
ed.
In selecting these samples the best
filled and best developed deads with
straw bright, clean and free from
rust should be secured. After select
ing the grain should be kept where it
will not be injured or get dirty.
Stored in II dark place it will keep its
original color. Tie the bundles ut

CHILDREN OF UAP.
They Don't Have to Worry about
Food, Clothes or Shelter.

Foody SiotneS or Sneiter.
In describing Jap. one Of the Caro-
line islands. DR.. W. III. Furness says
that children become more or less pub
lie property on that island as soon as
they are able to run about from house
to house.
They cannot without extraordinary
exertion fall off the island. and. like
little guinea pigs, can find food any
where. Their clothing grows by every
roadside, and any shelter or no shelter
is good enough for the night. They
cannot starve. There are no wild
beasts or snakes to harm them. What
matters it if they sleep under the high,
star powdered ceiling of their foster
mothers nursery or curl up on mats
beneath their fathers thatch?
There is no implication here that
parents are not fond of their children.
On the contrary. they love them so
much that they see their own children
in all children. 1t is the ease of life
and its surroundings which have afro
phied the emotion Of parental love.
When father has merely to say to
his wife and children. go out and
shake your breakfast of the trees"
or, go to the thicket and gather your
Clothes" to him the struggle for ex-
istence is meaningless. and without
struggle the prizes of life are held in
light esteem.

all excitements. and never did I see

TELESCOPE LENSES.
The Small Glass Magnifies the Picture
Made BY the large One.


People sometimes wonder why tele-
scope has two glasses. one at the big
end and one at the little end, and they
want to know the difference. The glass
at the big end is to gather light. 1t
Is simply big eye. If it is hundred
times bigger than the eye in your head
it will gather hundred times more
light. 1t gathers the rays of light COM
ing from a star and bends them all into
u common meeting point called a TO-
Gus. which Is a picture of the star.
You can look at this picture Of the star
with your naked eye If you like. But
you can see II better and examine 1t
more closely if you look at it with a
small magnifying glass. And this Is
the glass at the small end of the tele-
scope. 1t magnifies the picture made
by the big glass ut the other end of the
instrument. All telescopes are built on
this principle. Sir William Herschel
was the first to arrange matters lit
tie differently. He took away the
glass from the big end and admitted
the rays coming straight into the tube
in parallel lines Then at the bottom
of the big tube he placed bright con
cave mirror made of FURNISHED metal.
When the entering rays fell upon this
mirror they were again bent to point
called focus. which was the picture
of the star. To look at this picture he
had to place the little magnifying glass
at the side OF the tube because the
mirror had stopped up Its lower end.
