Condemns Short Weight Goods.

That the high cost OF living can be
partly reduced by the enactment and
enforcement OF strict regulations pro-
hibiting the sale or Offering for sale
Of package goods of short weight and
measure is a statement made by Sec
rotary of State T. M. Swindlehurst
who, in the capacity of ex-oticio state
sealer of weights and measures of that
department has filed his biennial re-
port with the governor. Mr.. Swindle-
hurst also puts himself or record as
believing that the greater proportion
of package commodities sold or placed
on sale throughout the state can be
truthfully designated with the term
short weight and measure packages.
Mr.. Swindlehurst declares that the
necessity for the enactment OF q law
regulating or governing the sale OF
this sort Of staple articles of common
use Is most apparent and that the
passage OF such q law would prove OF
incalculable benefit and value to the
purchasing public.

Don't Burn The Straw.

Professor F. r. Crane, agricultural

at the recent land show held in Min.

advice on the burning OF straw stacks.
He said: "Straw burning must cease,
by all means. Wheat STRAW is worth
8 .75 per ton as q fertilizer, and with

Montana Matters In Washington.

hearing at Washington on January 8
the recent complaint against freight

Representative Pray has little hope
OF securing the passage this season OF
the bill opening the Grow Indian res
ervation to settlement, and be has so
advised the Billings Chamber Of Com.
MERGE, which urged the passage OF this
bill. Mr.. Pray Gays the main objec.
ton to this bill comes from the demo-

that the Crow indiana are opposed to
the opening of their reserv alton. I'm.
less this erroneous impression can be
corrected, Mr.. Pray is convinced !,

MONTANA WINS HONORS.

The past week was q red-letter week
for Montana in the matter of publicity
for her superior natural resources.
Montana wheat won the big prize at
the Minneapolis land show over COM
peting exhibits from all parts OF the
northwest, a distinction that was an
nounced to the world by newspapers
published in oil parts of the country.
Closely following this achievement
came the news that q Montana steer
captured the blue ribbon at the north
western livestock chow, this fine pro-
duct OF Montana foraRe-and a year.
ling at that-being sold At Sl.O5 per
pound live weight. The total price
was 81, 39l. 25, the highest price ever
paid for a yearling steer. This Mon
lana victory, also, was made known
TO the American public ia press dis
patches that appeared in most of the
newspapers. and assisted in adding to
the fame of the Treasure stat,.
Reverting to the Montana wheat ex.
hiblt at the Minneapolis land show, It
appears that the outward appearance
OF the grain was nc the only feature
that commanded the award. 1t had to
make good in other respects. The
severe tests to which the exhibits were
subjected are indicated in this outline
of the proceedings:
Inspectors who grade and pass or
millions OF bushels of wheat on the
Minneapolis market looked over the
Montana entry mo. "a" along with
50 or 80 others. They cut mo. "a"
one point on color; q half point on
purity; three points because there was
q trace of smut. That left the com.
mercial score 924 and there were some
Others higher.
Then the Howard Wheat & Flour
Testing laboratory, which has been
making tests for the mills Of Mime.
apolis for q quarter of q century, took
all the samples submitted by the
judges and ground them into flour.
From this -four they baked big loaves
of bread, most of them "better than
perfect"
The sample of Nash and Bridgman
mo. "a scored l04.7. The laboratory
found the e-winning wheat con.
tanned but II per cent moisture. 1t
had a cleaning loss of only one.half
OF l per cent and a net -four yield OF
1876 per cent. The No. 2 Northern
spring, to which 1t al compared, had
an average OF - per cent moisture
and q -four yield OF u per cent.
This gave the Park county ranchers
OIL points on the commercial score
and 104.7 on the milling test. These
are high scores, but 1t was in the yield
per acre that the Montanans ~excelled
more decisively.
The exhibitor showing highest yield
lost out completely in the milling test
and commercial scoring, but he set the
pace on yield with Is bushels to the
acre. This was considered as q 100
per cent yield. Bridgeman and Nash
therefore earned 1873 points on their
yield of 59s bushels to the acre.
This made their final score Cpl and
their nearest competitor was Peter
Deboer OF Conrad, Montana, with q
final score Of 84.2.

WANTS TREES IN STREETS.

Citizens Societies.

Planting Association Invites Aid OF
Citizens Societies.
The Tree Planting Association Of New
York has issued an appeal to all nature
loving citizens to celebrate the arrival
Of spring this year by planting trees in
the streets, parks, yards and open
places Of the various boroughs. Land
owners, churches. clubs and hotels
should all Join the movement. the asso-
citation thinks.
"In Manhattan trees may be freely
and successfully planted in many parks
north Of Washington square," the asso-
citation says, while in the outlying
boroughs conditions invite the almost
unlimited use Of street trees for shade
and for identifying many sections
which are now barren and unattractive
in appearance.
The actual work Of planting the trees
may be performed by the park board,
the expense being charged to the prop
erty owner. If the planting Is done by
other parties the work must be under.
taken in accordance with the park de-
partment's printed regulations. Naples,
elms, pine or Spanish oaks. native or
European lindenS, western and orien-
tai planes and sycamores are advised
and can be furnished by any reputable
nurseryman

veloped on the rich dixie lands of Hol
land. which may account for its being
the largest of the dairy cattle. A ma
ture COW will weigh from 1000 to
1,4OO pounds. 1t Is asserted that she
can make a gallon of milk at less cost
than any other cow. and she Is some
times called the milkman's cow"
The milk Is often low in fat content.
although breeders are improving the
breed in this respect.
The Holstein needs plenty Of feed,
and owing to her weight she should
not have to range very far to secure
1t. The breed has grown much in IA
vor of late years and has made many
wonderful records.
The Holstein is black and white.
sometimes almost entirely either the
one or the other color, but more usual
ly definite patches of both. Very rare
~ they revert to red. which Is one of
the ancestral colors. The pedigree of
calves coming red may be pure. but
the calves cannot be registered.
Ayrshire.
Under conditions where the land is
rough and stony and pasture rather
poor no breed will give as good re-
turns as the Ayrshire In her native
home. Scotland. she inherited a sturdy
constitution and an Independence
which enables her to hunt for n living.
but she likewise responds we'll to good
treatment.
The Ayrshire gives medium flow of
milk of average richness. especially
adapted for cheesemaking on account
Of its small fat Clobuies. which retard
the Dreaming pTocess-a fact which has
designated her as the cheesemaker's
