Phone Service For Hardin.

Billings.-News received from Har-
din is to the effect that the enter
prising little city is soon to have long,
distance telephone service which will
enable the citizens to communicate
with persons in all parts of the coun-
try. According to Manager McComb of
the telephone system now installed in
the Big Horn valley communities. the
wire and other necessary materials for
an extension from Hardin to Custer
have been assembled and work on the
new line is in progress. The Hardin
Custer extension will connect at the
latter place with the long-distance line
and not only the Big Horn valley me-
tropolis, but also Foster, will thereby
be able to communicate by telephone
with the outside country in general.
1t is understood that the extension
will be completed and ready for use in
about 30 days and that improvements
will be made on the old system so that
the entire circuit will be of the highest
standard.

important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.

Have You Heard This Worm Story?
Billings.-For the first time in the
history of the treasure state, so far as
can be ascertained, the army worm, or
vermin strongly resembling that
species both in appearance and &C.
lions, has made its appearance in the
valley west of this city, and although
virtually all Of them have been
drowned, their presence for several
days caused much apprehension among
hortlculturists and farmers, who feared
that havoc would result to crops and
the foliage of fruit trees.
According to information brought to
the city by a well-known farmer, the
worms arrived in immense numbers in
the vicinity of the Buchanan ranch
and began eating the leaves from the
trees of the Montana Fruit and Irriga.
ton company. The employees of the
company are said to have used strenu.
GUS efforts to get rid of the pests and
finally succeeded in shaking them
from the trees.
The worms, after leaving the or.
chard, are said to have travelled like q
vast army toward the east. covering
an area more than mile in width,
but, contrary to the belief of the farm
ers, little or no damage was done to
growing crops, the favorite food of the
pests apparently being weeds and Rus
sian thistles.
When the Cove ditch was reached
the worms craWled over the bank and
were precipitated into the water,
where virtually all of them were
drowned and the mass, which was car
ried ashore some miles down the
canal, is said to have been sufficiently
large to have almost filled goodsized
freight car.
Those who saw them say they were
very much like the army worms, which
are common in some of the northern
states, except that they were of
darker green color. They varied in
length from about one to three inches.

An Orchard Party.

We had taken what was practically
IN abandoned farm for the summer
and were mediating how to entertain
our city friends in some rather unus-
ual way when "Polly" came to the
rescue and said, Lets have an Or
chard" party. So the artist of the
family did lovely invitations, with ap-
pie trees as the decorative scheme
We had four small tables each with
rustic baskets for the centerpiece
filled with field wild flowers The
place cards were made from squares
Of birch bark, and the joke favors
were wrapped in yellow tissue paper
and tied to the trees, from which they
were cut by the guests. Then we
sent in town and got fruit-shaped
candy boxes, which were strung at an
tervals on yellow cord after the meth
cd of the old but always funny cob
web parties, and stretched these
strings over good part Of the or
chard. The hunt after the luncheon
for the fruit" added much to the
merriment Sometimes 1t was neces-
sary to climb up ladder convenient
ly placed under tree to reach the
fruit" which was just out of reach,
and sometimes rail fence had to be
climbed. The guests were all told
to wear tub suits, and broad brimmed
straw hats were provided.

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Excellent Mixture to Keep Trouble
some Insects From Milk Cows
and Other Farm Animals.

To protect milk cows and young
stock and horses from the common
house fly and the more troublesome
wood fly the following mixture may
be used without injury to the skin
of the animal to which it is applied.
It ia an excellent and economical
remedy. 1t is as follows: One gallon
of fish oil, four ounces of turpentine,
one point of coal oil, one ounce of
the oil of cedar and one ounce of car
bolic acid. Mix thoroughly. Stir the
contents before using. Spray small
quantity of this Or apply with a paint
brush to each animal once week. A
small quantity will answer.
The following formula is recon-
mended by Professor Wheeler, of the
Kansas Agricultural college: Resin,
one and half pounds; laundry soap,
two cakes; fish oil, a half pint, and
water to make three gallons. Dissolve
the resin in solution Of soap and water
by boiling together Add fish oil and
the balance Of water. Apply with
brush.
Matteson's formula is: Fish oil,
,hree quarts; crude petroleum, one
quart, and carbolic acid, one ounce.
Mix well. One-half pint will cover
Nelve COWS; put on with spray
Jump. These formulas are all good.
Their use will present the COWS from
being annoyed by the flies when at
pasture or in the stable. Cows so
treated will keep in better flesh and
they will give more milk.
