SIX OUT OF
NINE WIN

At the convention of the Butter
Makers association at Chicago re-
Gently nine creamerips in this state
made entries in the competition for
honOrs, and six OF them received
awards. The scores they made were:
Bozeman. 81; Steyensville. a2.G6:
Clyde Park, $3.50: Cascade, 81 .66:
Chinook, .l6; Red Lodge, 81.
Il. W. Clark, professor of animal
husbandrv at the Agricultural Col
lege at Bozeman, in reporting on the
result Of the contest, says the record
made by the Montana creameries at
Chicago is one of which the state may
be proud, and that it proves Montana
creameries can make good butter if
they will. That the product Of this
states creameries is not always what
it should he, Mr.. Clark says that his
experience last summer "revcaied the
fact that there is soue prejudice
against Montana made butter and
this is because Il good article has not
always been produced. Creameries
closed last summer because they
could not sell their butter and vet ut
the same time eastern butter WAS be-
ing shipped IN by the car load. One
creamery had to market its butter in
Chicago. The stores Of our towns
and cities are our only market. In
the east the commission merchant
handles the butter and sells it to the
stores. lie solicits it at the creamery
oftentimes before il is made, but in
Montana the condition is entirely diff
frrent. The creamery must find its
own market and tile only way to re-
tain 1t is to makea first class article.
Every shipment Of butter from
the creamery should be 80 good as to
increase the demand. Poor butter is
dissatisfying to the consumer and
merchant, favorab Bile to the creamery's
competitors and indirectly injurious
to the milk producer
There is no more profitable field for
the farmer in Montana, especially
those who are located conveniently to
"A railroad or a creamery, than dairy
ing. But ii the butter maker is not
good one, if the product he turns out
is not first class, he is bound to fail.
and it is the farmer with his dairy
cows who suffers.

BIG WHEAT YIELD
AT BILLINGS

Billings, Nov. 20. 1900, 900 bushels
OF wheat were harvested in the Yel-
lOwstone valley and uplands tribn-
tary, according to figures that have
been compiled by local grain buyers
and milling interests. This is al i'll
crease OF more than three quarters Of
million bushels over any previous
year. Reports from the wheat Sec
tions are to the effect that the wheat
acreage this winter is nearly double
that of 1911 and indications are that
all records will be eclipsed next year.

WILD RIDE ON
BACK OF A DEER

lladley Kelly, owner Of the Dia-
mond Springs ranch, is the hero OF an
experience which stands unique in-
deed in the annals Of hunting, accord
ing to the story told by his friends in
the city last night. Mr.. Kelley with
his hunting companion and cousin,
Sam Kelley, returned to Helena yes
terday from the Jim Ball Basin, after
All outing of two weeks. During
their stay in the mountains the men
DEVOTED their time to hunting and it
is needless to say they returned with
the limit. as the game in that part of
the country is plentiful and the hun
ters are experts.
1t fell to IIadley, however, to enjoy
one of the most thrilling moments on
this hunt ever experienced by man.
His friends declare that he was equal
to the occasion, however, and his
long experience as u hronchO buster
lifted him we'll for the role in which
he participated.
Kelley, according to the story. was
scouting over the hills last Monday,
in one oi those sylvan sections where
deer abound. He was covering the
ground leisurely when before him
darted Il big doe. He shot and the
animal dropped. The hunter gazed
about 4 few moments, then traced his
steps in the direction Of the fallen
animal. His purpose was to cut the
does throat, but rs the pointed in
strnment prlclled the dcer's skin, the
doe half bounded, half staggered to
it's feet, and Kelley, more astonished
than frightened. either hoping to PIN
ion the animal to the ground or some
reason best known to himself, swung
his leg over the animals back. but
to his surprise the deer, instead Of
falling back, regained its feet COM
pletely. and ere Kelley knew what
was happening, was leaping down the
hill. The astOnisiled rider slashed ut
the deer's throat with a sharp hunt
ing knife. but as the cruel blade
pricked the skin the deer ran faster,
and probably covered distance Of
fitty yards before it again fell, the
second time to rise no more.
1t was a short ride, but one fraugth
with nerve racking suspense. and
had not Kelley been a skilled rider it
is difficult to conjecture what the
climax OF his experience might have
been.-llelena Record.

HOW THE WHEAT
RAISER FARES

lhere are many cases coming to the
notice OF the Journal wherein the far
mer gets the worst Of it in marketing
his product. A farmer south Of the
Snowy mountains raised about $50
bushels OF winter wheat, machine
measure. When he hauled the same
to the elevator he was docked Il BUSH
el Il load for cleaning and the total
amount of the wheat weighed in a
little over 600 bushels. Part of the
wheat was somewhat shriveled, but
all Of it was good hard milling wheat,
and the elevator man graded ii No.
western, a grade cent less than No.
2 northern spring wheat. When it
was sold the Minneapolis price for
No. 9 northern was $l.O5 ii. His
wheat was therefore $1.A ia. The
wheat went to the Royal Milling
company at Great Falls where it will
be ground into flour. The freight to
Minneapolis, however was deducted
from the Minneapolis price, which
would bring the price down to
66 IA cents bushel ut that elevator.
The farmer in question received 6s
cents a bushel for his years work,
leaving the elevator profit Of Is IL
cents per bushel OH that grade, be-
sides the shortage in weight. and the
nncalled for low grade the grain was
given.
The elevator in question is new
one, costing III the neighborhood Of
5000. The agent said lie had taken
in about $4,000 bushels Of wheat and
that there were about as many more
bushels in sight in his territory to be
marketed yet. lie was asked if 4
cents bushel for handling charges
was about right, when he replied that
the company "aimed" to secure 10
cents q buslel or more. Or in other
words, the company desired to re-
ceive the total amount OF their in
vestment out Of the profits Of the
first years business. That particu-
lar community is not bit proud it
got an old line elevator this year.

TRAILING A
MURDERER

Sheriff Fisco and his deputy, Sam
Young, went out the latter part of
last week on the trail Of Mel Jewel,
who killed a deputy sheriff in Sweet
Grass county while resisting arrest
on charge of having stol some
horses in the northern part of the
state.
In company with officers from
Sweet Grass and Yellowstone coun-
ties, the local officers trailed the mur-
derer from the west boundary Of the
county to u point near Broadview,
where the trail was temporarily lost
in the bad lands.
Jewel later crossed the Mussrlshell
between l.avina and Roundup, circlcd
back toward the foothills of the
Snowy mountains, and then described
a figure 8 and the last heard Of him
he was headed back toward the scene
Of his crime.
At one time the officers were very
close on his trail, but Il conflict Of
rumors, together with the rough
character OF the country and a fall OF
SNOW which Oblterated all trails,
made it impossible to follow him
with any degree Of certainty as to his
whereabouts.
Jewel is heavily armed and well
mounted; he has served Il term in the
pentitentiary for horse stealing, and
is considered an all around bad man.
Officers expect a pitched battle before
he is captnred.-R Roundup Record.
On Thursday Of last week Deputy
Sheriff Aaron Ray Of Judith Gap re-
ceived a telephone message from
HarlOwton that Jewel had been To-
Gated in the Swimming Woman coln-
try, and instructing him to 60 there
and make the arrest. The deputy
sheriff and o. A. Backmann lett on
horseback that day for Swimming

After making 4 thorough search for
several days the officer could not find
anyone who had seen man OF the

of the report and he replied that he
didn't know what he might do before
morning as he was being conspired
against by number of his so-calle
friends as well as his enemies.
What brought about his troubles
was the selling off at auction yestcI
day Of the household goods of his
late wife Hannah Smith at his resi-.
dence 4E Seventeenth street. The
sale. was by order of the county court
for the purpose of paying the debts OF
the deceased. During the sale Smith

ing off more property than was neces-
sary to pay the debts and he employed
white constable 10 see that he was
getting square deal" 1t Is said
