trips to be only ten pounds. il amounts
in a year to over forty tons. When to

STORAGE OF MEAT.
How to Keep Fresh Supply for Use
m the Farm

How to Keep Fresh Supply for Use
on the Farm.
Meat used while fresh Is more nutri-
tious and palatable than sailed or
cured meats. II is therefore desirable
to use as much Of 1t uncured as posi-
BILE. 1t is very difficult to keep meat
fresh during the summer months with
out the use Of ice. and even then but
little can he handled at one time on
the ordinary farm. Where room or
family refrigerator can be kept at
temperature OF 40 degrees or less. with
gocd ventilation and circulation of air,
fresh meat can be kept for a week or
ten days. 1t is very important that
the circulation be free and the air dry.
Moisture in a refrigerator tends to de-
velop wet mold or slime. and little
decay sOon communicates the whole
piece. Less difficulty will be expert
enced in "a room where the tempera-
ture is high and the air dry than where
the temperature is low and the air
damp.
Insects should not be allowed TO get
ut the meat. For this reason a dark.
cool cellar IL the best place for keep
ing fresh meat on the farm. The eel
lar should b. clean and free from
doors or the meat will become tainted.

meat problem write to your congress

THE FARMER AND THE BANK

In q recent address Asa Il. Ramsey
of the First National bank OF Mmsko-
gee, Okla, made the following state
ment: 49, .e al.
! want to see the time that when a
farmer applies for IL loan, the banker
will not bet on theability OF the farm
er and the favor of the season to meet
the obligation to his bank. Iwant to
see the banker ask how many silos
the farmer has: how many head Of
good hogs. good cattle, and other live
stock and what condition they are in,
and how much attention the farmer.
pays to dairy products and feed crops
The banks would rather loan money
at : per cent, knowing you have the
stuff to meet the obligation, than at
present rates of interest charged. by
simply changing agricultural mt thods
and diversitying crops. you can
change your standing with the banks.
Nothing in the world will keep YOU
from paying high prices for food
stutfs unless you cultivate the soil.
Bankers are always looking for
safe places to invest money. In most
OF the western states interest rates on
farm loans are high. Why? Because
as this Oklahoma banker has pointed
out. the investment is not absolutely
safe. 1t is bet, Il speculation. Ii
the crop turns out well there is big
return--bnt il there is not il big crop
the bank stands to lose.
1t is because Of this fact that the
bankers are among the most ardent
supporters OF the diversified farming
movement in Montana. They
are backing up corn contests. pork
production contests and other CON.
tests with liberal cash prizes, to get
farmers interested III these things,
purely from IL business basis. They
know that when the farmers are
thoroughly awake to the possibilities
OF diversified farming that the Mon
tana farm will be IL safer place in
which to invest money.
There have been criticisms from
some farmers about the business man
trying to tell the farmer how to run
his bushes. If the bnsines man tic rs
offer the farmer advice. it is because
he has learned from hard. cold eX-
perience that the farmer is making a
mistake, and because OF that mistake
the entire community is the loser.

ELECTROCUTED FOR
DOUBLE MURDER

ed SOn-in.Law and His Father on
May 1s, Is Executed I'm Two Weeks
After Committing Crime.
Columbia, July l4.-For the murder
on May 1S of Aaron Campbell, his
son-ln-law, and j. III. Campbell the
father Of Aaron, in Lee county. NJ. l.,
Garrett, who has served terms on the
chaingang of his county and In the
state penitentiary, was this morning
electrocuted at the state or!s,n in
the presence Of some 35 Witnesses. In
the crowd were several citizens of the
netghborhood where the crimes were
committed. A brother Of Aaron Camp
bell was present to witness the legal
atonement for the death of his broth
er and father.
Garrett. who during the period of
his confinement at the penitentiary
has apparently faced death with tho
greatest fear, this morning walked
into the death chamber and sat in
the chair with splendid composure,
though it was evident in the low
tones that he used that he felt deeply
the awful seriousness of the moment.
His last request was: Kill me quick
and don't hurt me any more than you
can help"
CARROTS deed was prompted by a
fierce jealousy. Hatred for the man
who married his daughter caused
him to go to her home and the dou-
BILE killing resulted Garrett then
forced his daughter to accompany him
to the woods nearby, where he stayed
In hiding for several days. Blood
hounds from the penitentiary trailed
the man and finally led to his place
or hiding where he was captured with
out bloodshed

When verify there are no dead
OF all the children Of our God?
They who are lost to outward sense
Have but flung off their robes of

And clothed in Heavenly radiance,
Attend us on our lonely way.
While sorrows tears our eyes have

Shed Ger the consecrated dust
Too much our darkened souls forget
The lessons of enduring trust.

Her sunlight on our pathway dim.
And death can have no tcrrors more
But holy JOY shall walk with Him.
