Feed your chickens right anc
they will make you money.

The following stanzas were
written by Miss Gladys Bulen
while standing in her uncle's
house and gazing toward the lit
tie cabin where her grandparents
were living when her father was
taken sick with pneumonia, and
where he died on Dec. 30th, last:
AS stand alone and weeping.
Looking toward the dark blue hills,
| can see a low log cabin,
Freshly hewn and boarded DER,
Where in slumber, peaceful slumber,
Meath the shadow of the pines,
Lay form we all have cherished,
All had hoped that God might spare.
But Alas! For all our weeping,
Foolish are the tears we shed;
Christ alone will save our loved ones,
Christ alone can raise the dead.
And We'll meet him in the morning
When the trump of God does sound;
Then again tn hear that whisper,
daughter, dear, God bless you all. ~

Seed Pea AS a Crop.

F. D. Strickland, of near Liv-
ingston, was q Roman visitor last
week, and after spending some
time looking over the country
around here says that he intends
to dispose of his farm near that
place and move to the Flathead.
He likes the climate, the soil,
and in fact everything he saw
while here.
Mr.. Strickland was a Pioneer
caller on Saturday last, and in
conversation with him it was
learned that the Yellowstone
farmers have found q valuable
crop to be the raising of garden
peas for seed, for the D. M. Fer
ry Co.. Detroit. He said that
last year there were 2200 acres
Of this crop in his immediate To-
cality, and that the crop aver
aged 80 bushels per acre, after
some acres were total failures,
owing to the fact that no water
was available to irrigate with.
The price received was 3 cents
per pound and is a very profit
able crop for the farmer. The
seed house furnishes the seed and
deducts the same number of
pounds when receiving the crop
in the fall, thereby merely adj
vancing the farmer the seed.
He says that many other parts of
that section of Montana are now
engaged in this same industry,
and that all find it to be the
means of increasing the revenue
very materially.
He says that the seed house
wants irrigated peas in prefer
ence, as they seem to mature bet
ter, but thinks the crop could be
very successfully grown in the
Flathead without irrigation. He
also stated that this crop had add
ed very much to the value Of all
the farm lands of his section and
that the increase was fully $50
per acre to the owners.
This is crop the farmers of
the Flathead should investigate.
With small farms such as many
of the new settlers have acquired,
it will require that they produce
a crop yielding better returns
than can be secured from grow
ing wheat, and this may be the
very crop our farmers should
raise. Peas will not injure the
soil, but on the contrary will aid
in enriching it each year the crop
is grown.
The attention of the Farmers
Mutual association is particularly
called to this matter, and for
their further information the
Pioneer will state that should
they desire more light on the
question they will be supplied
Herewith by corresponding with
the Chamber of Commerce at
Livingston, or by writing direct
to the company at Detroit. Mr..
Strickland says he believes the
