| MINING STAMPEDE IN STATE
New Copper Find East Of kaIispeIl A.
tracts Many-Largest Boom
in Years.

Kalispell. The biggest mining
stampede the west has had in five
years is now on. Prospectors and
mining men from all parts of the west
ern mining company, Mexico, British
Columbia and Alaska, are pouring into
the new copper fields on the South
Fork of the Flathead river, thirty-two
miles south of Coram station, which
lies on the Great Northern, twenty.
five miles east of Kalispell.
Entirely New District.
Former Sheriff w. M. O'Connell OF
Helena, who was one of the first on
the ground says:
This is an entirely new district.
1t was discovered last fall by three
prospectors who drifted in from Wash
ington, Ben Thresher, Billy Harris and
Jack Morris. While it has been
known for years the country was we'll
mineralized, no attention was paid to
the district until this trio went to work.
Dykes of copper can be traced on the
! surface eighteen miles, and the ore
goes as high as So per cent in the
green metal.
The original discoveries Of the
district have formed a company in
which, among others, are General
! Warren of Butte and A. C. Jamison of
| Spokane. They have about thirty men
at work building bunkhouses for the
miners and trails to the railroad. The
camp is called Harris, and lies on
Felix creek, six miles from the South
Fork. About a hundred prospectors
have rushed in and each day the NUM-
Der grows.

crowd figures on blocking out enough
ore tonnage to justify the building OF
a railroad camp, and they expect to
have this tonnage within a years
time"

MULE IS OF MORE
VALUE THAN HORSE
If Properly Broken, Animals Ex-
eel Horses for General Farm
W0rk-EatS Less.

Mules can be worked when three
years old, though they do not reach
their maturity until seven years of age.
Their temper, health and usefulness
depend very much on the manner of
breaking them, says writer in the
Baltimore American. The so-called
stubbornness an obstinacy of the mule
arises chiefly from the abuse he is wont
to receive when young He seldom, if
ever, bites or kocks those who treat
him kindly.
The mule can do more work and
needs less grain than the horse, he is
less liable to disease and RECEIVERS
from sickness and injury quicker than
a horse He works better when cid
and holds out longer. He seldom
takes fright or runs away, For heavy
hauling and in making up spans select
those Of Is to 151a hands high. Those
of similar dispositions should be chos-
en- and put together, so they will work
together with will. For working
small crops in the garden, for any
kind Of farm work, the mule will be
found much the most economical work
animal to own. One pair Of medium
sized mules can be kept on less grain
than a pair of the same sized horses ,
they do not need SO much grain. Nearly
all our truckers use mules. We have
for a number of years used mules ex-
clusively OH our farms. For teaming
the mule Is the animal to have.
For cultivating vegetables in mar
row rows the small mule weighing un-
der 1000 pounds should be chosen.
Mules are high in price this season,
a pair of medium sized young broken
mules Is worth $3.50 to $500. Small
truck mules may be had for $3.50 per
SPAR.

WILD HORSES UNDER YOKE.
Cowboys Chasing in Relays Subdue
Last Herd in a Montana
County.

Stanford.-The last herd of wild
horses known to be at large in Fergus
county was rounded up last week, rid

companied by State Stock Inspector
Kennon, succeeding in subduing the
band that has ranged in the lower
Judith river breaks for ten or twelve
years. The band consisted, all told, of
about fifty head, but only sixteen OF
that number could be classified as
genuine wild horses.
The horses are practically all of
thoroughbred origin, being the off

done by relays of COW ponies. After

the chase was commenced and some
idea as to the desperation with which
the bands attempted to evade capture
may be gathered from the fact that
distance OF fifty miles was traversed
in exactly three hours. A few of the
less hardy animals dropped out, but
not until they were exhausted.

SPRAY TO PREVENT
BLIGHT OF POTATO
Disease Is Most Destructive in
July and August-Amount
Required Per Acre.

Early potato blight is liable to at
tack the potato crop at any time from
June until the crop is ripe, but is
most seriously destructive in July
and August. 1t attacks the foliage
Professor kohler of the Minnesota
experiment station doubts if it will be
profitable to spray early paintings of
early varieties.
If, however, others desire to do SO
he advises spraying when plants are
small, and a continuance of the treat
ment every ten days until at least
ten per cent of the leaf surface is
dying, when it will be useless to
spray longer. In rainy weather spray
ing should be more frequent. Twenty
five to IS gallons of Bordeaux per acre
will be required for the treatment
when the plants are small, and as they
advance in growth the amount will
need increasing to so, 80 or rs gall
Ions per acre.
Spraying for early blight on late
varieties of the Rural New Yorker
type of potatoes has proved profit
able at the Minnesota station. Spray
ing late varieties of the Rural New
Yorker type may be delayed until the
earliest planting of early varieties in
the locality shows signs of the pres
ence of the disease, when spraying

LOOK TO RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS
Are Certain to Play an Important Part
In Furnishing Power for
Battleships.

In discussing the fact that the use
Of oil instead of coal as fuel in the
English navy is under consideration
it is time Russia should pay serious
attention to this question. II England
is replacing its own cheap coal by the
more expensive foreign product there
must be important advantages on the
side of naphtha, and in the future
Russian fleet the part to be played by
the Novoe Vremya says. Many mills
and factories have gone over to
naphtha as fuel and the consumption
is increasing every year.
Russia owns immense oil fields and
it could be the chief supplier of the
world. The need Of organization In
the business Is recognized by the
government and number of special
meetings have been held for discuss
ing the subject. New conditions have
been laid down for the exploitation OF
government territories, and the regu-
lations for Investigations have been
changed. Some territories known as

GUS islands of the Caspian sea, as we'll
as some territories in the Transcas-
plan Ural and Gerghana districts, and
others in the north of Russia and ST.
IBERIA, amounting to millions of acres.
The reason for this action is the wish
to preserve these districts from ex-
haustion.
Another question concerns the mat
ter of investigation. It is quite neces-
sary that the right of investigation be
granted on large scale, and not only
for comparatively small lots of ground.
where the investigation might not pay.
The government is aware of this fact,
and, according to the new regulations
the plots of ground allotted for inves-
tigation are to be increased tenfold.
The most advisable system Is to
grant concessions that would induce
capitalists to place their money in
such undertakings. Under the new
regulations regarding the investigation
Of naphtha districts, the government
proposes to publish geological de-
scriptions Of the various districts.

Prices are good, they may or may not

In this connection, 1t may as we'll be

a great deal on the transaction. The

acter. To make money on porkers
grow the 200, 800 and 400 pound
animals. Stringy, razor-backed, rangy
animals will eat as much corn as the
more compact hogs that turn corn
and Stops into money.
The boar is big consideration. Get
hood one for yourself or If this is
impossible buy one in partnership
with one or two of your neighbors.
Then wait for results before giving
up the project and slipping back into
the old way. Pick out the best sows
you have, buy few more if neces-
sary, and give some consideration to
pasturage. Keep the boar and the
brood sows and the young pigs out Of
the horse lot and give them chance
to grow.
Dry lots, wood pastures, close pens
and barren fields are not suitable for
keeping the hog where a profit is to
be expected. Twenty years ago there
were men in this community who
made great deal of money from
mast-fed hogs. That was before the
days of the stock law and there was

A certain part of the farm will have
to be set aside for the production of
hog feed If their rearing is to be a
success. The number of acres re-
quired will, of couse, depend upon

put on the market. 1t will depend,
too, upon the kind of feed that is be-
ing grown. In my opinion, corn is
about the best feed that can be given
the hogs on the average farm.
Hog raising ought to be as much q
part of the regular farming opera
tions as the growing of crops, the
rearing of cattle and the handling OF
meadows. Unless conditions are I'M
usual hog farm Is hardly likely to
pay. But-the hog should be part
Of the regular production of any and
all farms where crops of feeding
value are grown. We ought to grow
all the porkers that can be economi-
cally grown and fed.

years. The profits in his carcass may
be reached by any man having few

| The principal argument advanced
against the better breeds of hogs is
that they are not altogether suited to
the conditions on the average farm.
It is urged that the better-class hop
has grown under more favorable ar
engagements and that he is inferior
to the nondescript in not being able
| to take care of himself. That Is a
mistake. In the first place any hog
that is profitable must be given
proper sheltering, pasturage and ra-
tions. If the change is gradual
the objection will not be true in any
case.
By getting a good boar, say pure
head of the herd, this can be proven.
1t is possible to get a good boar with

him. Usually he can be secured pref
ty close to home, and he is already

will boost the meat production of the
farm by about one-third and the fat
tening will not require an ear more Of
corn or a pound more of slops In his
feed.
We ought to get rid of the razor
back type that eat more corn without
results than do the animals that have
been bred for generations with the
idea of turning out an animal that
can turn every grain to profit. While
| blue-ribbon types are not adapted to
ordinary farm conditions, the hog

MONTANA WHEATS
ARE INVESTIGATED
COMPARED WITH MINNESOTA
VARIETIES AND FOUND TO BE
NOT INFERIOR.
UNIVERSITY MAKES TESTS
Hard Spring Grades Of Two States
About the Same-Turkey Type
Proves inferior in Mill
ing Quality.

MinneapOlis.-ln a chapter on Mon
tana wheats, contained in a new bulle-
tin issued by the university agricul-
tural experiment station, entitled,
Minnesota Wheat Investigations"
covering the result of milling, bank
ing and chemical tests of samples of
the 1911 crop, it is said that Montana
grown hard spring wheats of the 1911
crop, as tested, were nearly equal in
milling quality to the same class of
wheat grown in Minnesota. 1t is fur
Their said that the hard red wheats of
the Turkey type grown in Montana
were inferior to the hard spring wheats
of that state and Minnesota.
Relative Value Important.
"Since large proportion OF the
wheat grown in Montana" the bulle-
tin states, lis marketed through Min
neapolis and Duluth, the relative quail
tty Of these Wheats as compared with
that of Minnesota and Dakota wheats
is rapidly becoming a matter of i'm
portance to the farmers and millers
of Minnesota.
"The wheats of Montana may be
classified under three groups: 1D The
soft wheats, both white and red: (2)
the hard red spring wheats, principally
of the Scotch Fife variety; and (3)
hard red winter wheat of the Turkey
Red type. The two classes of hard
wheats are the most important com.
mercially. The production of hard
winter wheat of the Turkey type
shows the greatest gain, the acreage
devoted to winter wheat during the
past three years having been 962 per
cent, while the acreage of spring
wheat increased only 2S.5 per cent
during the same period
The Turkey Type Wheat.
THE hard red winter or Turkey
type wheat f1ours examined were pos
sessed OF greater strength than the
soft red wheats. Their average Loaf
volume was 2,348 cubic centimeters as
compared with 1872 cubic centimeters
in the case of 1oaves baked from soft
red wheat samples. The hard red
spring wheat flours excelled both with
respect to strength, the average LOAF
volume being 2,516 cubic centimeters
hich compares not unfavorably with
the average for the f1ours milled from
the same type of wheat raised in Min
nesota, which was 2,545 cubic cent?
meters. In other words, the baking
quality of the hard spring wheat sam
pies raised in Montana was nearly
equal to the same class of wheat raised
in Minnesota, but the fours miI1ed
from Turkey type hard winter wheats
were distinctly inferior in the ma
jority of cases.
"The results of tests reported by
the North Dakota agricultural expert
ment station confirm this statement

wheats yielding fours which baked in
