VIII Be Great Rush.


The vastness of the area opened to
white settlement is expected to make
this one of the most alluring land
openings ever presented to the people
inasmuch as their opportunity of get
ting something's in the drawing will be
much better than in any previous land
opening. For instance, when the Occur
d'Alene, Flathead and Spokane land
drawings were held last year a total
of 10000 people filed and drew for
the land in those three Indian reser-
vations, the total area of which was
about one-fourth of the area to be
opened upon the Ft. Peck reservation.
Government officials do not think that
more than $4,000 people will file for
the FIT. Peck land. Hence the chances
of drawing quarter section in the
Fit. Peck reservation lottery are
about four times as good as they have
been in previous government land
: drawings. The actual value of this
land is said by government agricul-
tural experts to average about $25 an
acre. However, the governments ap
praisal for its openings to white settle
ment is only from $3.50 to 81 per acre,
thus making real prizes for those who
draw this land.
How to Draw.
The drawing will take place in this
way. The names of all those who file |
for land will be placed in a big box
and the envelopes drawn out one by |
one and numbered, until enough enve-
lOpes are taken from the box to cor.
respond with the number of quarter
sections available, 8,406. Those getting
the early numbers will of course get
first pick of the land in rotation, ac-
actual settlement of the land will be-
gin May 1, 1914. Settlement is the
same as under the homestead law,
except that the appraised valuation
must be paid-from $3.50 to 81 per
acre, at these terms: One-ffth of the
total down at time of entry and the
rest in five annual payments. The
settler, however, has the option of TAX
ing advantage of the new three-year
homestead law by paying for his land
at the end of three years and thus
proving up on it. This gives the man
of small means a chance for his
white alley"
Half a dozen modern town-sites al
ready have been located by the gov
eminent at points along the main
Northern railway which runs through
he FIT. Peck reservation for 100 miles.

SIX CYLINDERS AND
CONTINUOUS POWER

Though most motor car owners and
drivers know now the reason for the
superiority OF the six-cyiinder engine
there still are few who fail To fully
appreciate it. They admit the power
is greater, but think il merely because
Of the two extra cylinders. Considered
purely from the standpoint OF mum
bers and volume of com bustion space.
six small cylinders have no more pis-
ton area and burn no more gasoline
than four large cylinders.
1t is easy to show that the amaz-
ing superiority of the six comes from
the fact that the power strokes over
lap, which is not the case in the four
or any less number of cylinders. In a
gasoline motor of five-ineh stroke the
piston travels twenty inches for each
cycle, as is well known to those IA
miliar with automobile engines. OF
this twenty inches the power stroke
occupies only about four inches. The
remaining movement of the piston is
occupied In filling the cylinder with
gas. COMPRISING 1t and expelling the
burned gases after the power stroke,
Hence in four climbers with total
power stroke of sixteen inches there
must be a gap of one inch on each
cylinder where no power is being ap-
piled. The weight and inertia of the
hywheel must carry the motor over
these dead centers. Here is where
occurs the vibration in four-cylinder
motor. But In a ak the piston move
ment during the power strokes occu-
pies approximately twenty-four inches,

inches In other words. there la no

FEW POINTS ABOUT GUINEAS
Habit of Changing Nest Makes 1t Diff
ficuIt to Say How Many Eggs
They Will Lay.

The guineas are good layers, but
owing to their skill in hiding their
nests and their habit of changing their
nest if it is disturbed, it is hard to-
say how many eggs they will lay, pos
sibly 80 to 100. Guineas are inclined
to be homogeneous, that is, to have
but one mate, but a male viii mate
with two females. Poor matches
usually result if more females are
placed with a male.
Young guineas are fed like young
turkeys, with curds, bread and milk or
boiled eggs and bread crumbs the
first week, always mixing once a day
with sand, and for every meal making
one-third of the meal green food,
chopped onion or dandeiion tops.
Finely chopped lettuce is good when
plentiful. Unless they have a good
run they should have animal food for
some time, but if they have plowed
fields 10 roam over this is not neces-
sary. When they are large enough
to be given free range they will pick
up most of their living, but should
always be fed at night, to give them
he habit of returning home.
