in the larger cities, dealers are MAX
ing special low offers to customers
on fresh eggs. These prices are so
low that they attract buyers, who on
receiving the eggs find them to be
very small. The small Leghorn hens
lay small eggs, while the large Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds
and other breeds of large sized chick
ems produce larger sized eggs. New
York City recently passed an ordin-
ance requiring the sale of eggs by
the pound. But Denver, Col, seems
to have the lead on selling eggs by
the pound, as vegetables and eggs
have been sold thus in that city for
thirty years. Should the rule be
generally adopted it would be bene-
fit generally to the country. Bantam
eggs, and all kinds of small eggs,
strictly fresh, would then find ready
sale.-Citizen-Star, Fort Worth, Tex.

- THROUGHOUT America one of
the leading topics for discus
sion is the recent elections,
N and the political overturn
which has given the democratic
party a strong majority in the ma
tional house of representatives.
Naturally the farmers of this
country, and members of this orga-
nization, are drawn into and par
ticipate in the comment.
AS I have before stated, insurg-
ents, republicans, democrats, Soc
ialists-what not-all look alike,
or should look alike, to the farmers
of this country and, emphatically so
to the members Of the Farmers
Union.
The test is found, not in the label
by which a man Classics his poll
tics, but in his bona fide actions,
the faithfulness with which he makes
promise square with performance,
the fidelity with which he keeps his
contract with the people.
In ordinary business and social
relations we condemn the man who
is guilty of breach of contract or of
bad faith, even of duplicity when it
comes to carrying out the agree
ment.
The same rule, unchanged by the
dotting of an 'T'', should rule in pol
itics.
It makes no difference to what
party a congressman or legislator,
a governor or sheriff owes his
allegiance, if he disregards the pledg-
es he has made to his constituents or,
by silence and inaction, aligns him
self against their best interest.
We are going to get results in the
way of reform in this country when
the voter is as vigilant in his watch
upon the Office holders as he is in
his activities during campaigns.
Therefore, I hold it as merely the
dictates of common sense that 1t is
our duty to keep close watch on con-
gress and it's guiding forces, whether
administered by the parties now Wis
ible or those that may arrive at
some time in the future.
EXAMINE THE MAN, RATHER
THAN THE PARTY.
1t would profit you nothing if you
elect a democrat in place of re-
publican, or an insurgent in place
of standpatter, If YOU NOTICE
NO GAIN IN SERVICE FROM THE
CHANGE.
The trouble is, the average farmer
city man, for that matter puts
a new man in Office at the high tide
of a wave of dissatisfaction and
THEN FORGETS. AS a result, nine
times out of ten, he finds his un-
watched representative needs re-
placing sooner or later, and there is
all the excitement and delay to en-
dure again.
The day the American farmer
realizes this principle and realizes,
additionally, that he can vitalize any
legislative program by unceasing
demands upon his representatives,
we will see the farmers of this coun-
try rescued from the neglect visited
upon them by the government for
many years.
urge upon you to keep in person
al touch tiwh your representative or
senator, relative to those measures
favored by this organization.
Failure to secure results in legis-
lation is due almost as much to the
failure of the constituents to in
dulge in prodding as to the tendency
of the office holder to snore on his
job.

SKELETON or MAN 10000
YEARS OLD IS DISCOVERED
Most Ancient on Record, English Sci.
sntist Declares.

The skeleton of man recently found
IN the Thames bed at Galley Hill, near
Northfeet, is declared by Professor
Arthur Keith Of London to be 10000
years old.
Delivering lecture before the Row
al college surgeons on the antiquity of
man, Keith said he arrived at his es-
innate OF age by the work done by the
Thames since the time when the level
OF the river was 80 to 100 feet higher
than today. Measured ut the lowest
estimate the Thames bed had been
lowered and raised at least ITO feet
since the upper terrace Of gravel was
laid down in the postglacial times.
Seeing how little the level and as
pect of the valley has been altered
since the Roman period and that mere
Is no reason to presume the changes
IN the level or climate occurred at a
faster rate in past times than in the
present, one may safely allow" said
Professor Keith, 100 years for every
foot which the river has worn awav
or laid down. On this basis of com.
putation the antiquity Of the Galley
Hill remains may be estimated at no..
600 years."
Consideration Of parts of this skele.
ton shows how old the modern type
OF man is. The Galley Hill man, al
though differing in several features, is
essentially modern in type and is the
only representative known of the thou
sands OF generations of Englishmen
which span the vast period Of human
ll1e In that country from the glacial to
the neolithic times.

A small band Of the Ineal descend.
ants Of the devoted 800 who fought
under General Nicholas Herkimer in
the battle Of Oriskany in the Mohawk
valley in 1777 dined and renewed ac-
quaintance recently in New York.
These men are organized as the Sons
OF Oriskany. Only lineal descendants
OF those who fought in that battle.
which the historian. John Fiske, call
ed one Of the most decisive battles
OF the Revolution, because it made
possible the later victory at Saratoga,
are eligible to membership.
1t was Colonel Campbell who learn
ed and put into practice in this battle
the putting Of two men behind each
tree in fighting the Indians. The In
dian was In the habit Of waiting until
a soldier had fred once from behind
a tree and then dashing forward to
brain him with tomahawk. With
two men behind each tree there was
always reserve shot for the attack
ing Indian. This new method Of meet
ing the enemy, 1t is said. Is what won
the fight at Oriskany.
The project (which the Sons of Oris-
kany have most at heart is the pres
ervation by the state of the old Herki-
mer mansion near Little Falls. This
house. fine type Of the colonial, is
intact. but sadly In need Of repair.

the price of 1t all will be regulated h,
that of the non-producing portion. II
Iowa, with no vacant unproducins
land. the price will approximate the
value, $121 per acre; in Montana the
price Will depend largely upon the pro
| portion unoccupied.
DO l think Montana lands are be.
coming too high in price? Do con.
slider land investments at present
prices precarious? Most emphatical.
ly, no!
Unirrigated wheat lands that will
produce thirty to forty bushels of
wheat every two years-and there are
thousands of acres that may be made
to produce fifty bushels IL properly
handled-will pay 10 per cent on $40
TO $11O per acre; and whatever differ.
ence there is between this and the
purchase price may be credited to the
purchase as profit.
Irrigated lands producing seventy
five bushels of oats, fifteen tons OF al.
falfa and fifty bushels of wheat in
nve-year rotation will net at least $25
per year under average conditions
good return on $3.50 investment.
The realization Of land prices an.
proxlmating values based upon pro-
ductive capacity depends on farmers.
III the latter are Industrious, thrifty
and intelligent; and If they get con-
troll OF and cultivate all the land that
Is available for tillage, prices will
soon come into equilibrium with in.
trinsic values.
Spectators alone are responsible |
FOR fictitious values and prices. They
often not only fail to do anything to
Increase values. but actually prevent
increase by holding lands at prices
orohibitive to settlers. It is unfortu.
nate that the Industrious farmer, to
whom alone the country's develop.
nent Is due, cannot share the incre.
nent with the unproductive specula.
or.
May the day be hastened when all
he tillable lands in Montana will be
n the hands of farmers who will put

CORN IN MONTANA.
Every Farmer Should Give Some Al.
tention to the Production
of This Crop.

1t has been only during the past few
years that any attention whatsoeve,
mas been given to the growing OF corr
IN this state. 1t was the general i'm
preston that this crop could not be
grown. The past two of three years
however, has in way, done away
with the impression commonly had In
nearly all parts of the state corn has
been grown. The varities that were
used were especially adapted to the
Northern states, that is, they were
quick growing and matured quite early
IN the season, before the frosts caught
them.
The land for this corn was prepared
IN about the same way as the land for
the spring small grains, that is, it was
ploWed to depth of about ten inches
and dlsced and narrowed very thor.
oughly. The land was prepared very
early In the spring in order that the
moisture could be saved. In some in.
stances 1t was necessary to harrow
the land two or three times before the
"~S ""AAi SAiOu6u W receive the
corn. This was for the purpose of
maintaining dust mulch and prevent.
Ing the evaporation of moisture As
soon as the soil was warm enough the
corn was planted with the common
corn planter and at the rate of about
twelve ears for every acre. The dis.
tance between the rows was three
feet six inches. This permitted of the
cultivation of the corn each way.
After the corn was up about three
inches 1t received the first cultivation.
AS often as possible the corn was
plowed during the growing season.
These operations were performed for
the purpose of maintaining the dust
mulch and destroying the weeds.
The writer wishes to suggest to the
farmer in Montana that corn can
be grown in this state and that 1t will
pay nearly every farmer to give some
attention to this crop; even though
the season is not long enough to ma.
ture the seed. The feeding value OF
corn fodder is indeed very great and

IRISH CENSUS EXPECTED
TO SHOW LESS DECREASE
only Part Of United Kingdom In
Which Religion Figures.

Preparations are now complete for
the taking Of the census in ireland
For many decades the census In Ire
land has told a gloomy tale Of dimin.
ishing population, and the most hoped
Tor IN 1911 is that, though the decrease
may be shown to continue, its rate
may show some check.
The plan in Ireland differed and still
differs from that at the other side of
the Irish sea. There they have an
army OF specially appointed enumer-
ators; In Ireland the work of collecting
the returns Is left to the police. One
OF the features Of the return which Is
exciting increasing interest is that de.
voted to language. Each person will
have to state whether he speaks Irish
only or both Irish and English or Eng.
lish only. The figures will thus show
by comparison with former cases
whether the decay Of Irish has been
enectually checked by the Gaelic
league and will mark those districts
where It has most real vitality.
Another question of Importance af.
fects the birth rate. Each married wo-
man will have to state the duration OF
her marriage and the number of chill.
dren born oftit and how many sur
vive. ireland is one OF the few coun.
tries which in this respect show little
change from census to census. The
actual birth rate is one of the lowest
In the world because of economic
causes leading to the restriction of
marriage. But the proportion of births
to marriages is one of the highest in
the world. and the census of 1911 will
'nce more demonstrate that fact.
Ireland is the only part Of the United
in which there Is q religious
census. Everybody is expected to state
lis form Of religious belief, though
here Is no penalty for refusing to an
'wer the question. Protestants are
Urged to distinguish between their vari-
'us denominations, and 20 far there
