hot and dry weather in July will not
be worth cutting, but the country IN

grain or better. The oats crop may
be below the average. Corn is Don

Montana Leads the World

For the year 1911, Montanas wheat yield per acre, was BIT bushels.
Compared with other states in the Union, Montana ranks first In the yield
per acre of wheat; 267 bushels per acre having been the average produc-
ton for the years from 1895l9oS. Whsn it is taken into consideration
that comparatively little of the total wheat producing area is in cultiva.
ton 1t is evident that Montana Will take first rank as a wheat producing
state in the near future-lFron$ Official Bulletin. No. 81 issued by the
Bureau OF Soils, United States Department of AgHcutureo
From 1895 to 1906, the reports of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, show that the average values Of wheat crops, per acre. have
been as follows: Ohio, s107s: Indiana, 1893; Missouri $3.50; Michigan,
s1o6a; Illinois, 1852; Minnesota, s87s; Iowa, 1902; North Dakota, s756;

First in Wheat
First in Oats
First in Alfalfa

IT is not surprising that the recent development Of Montana. n an
agricultural way, has been marvellous. The fertility of the soil of this
great state of unlimited resources. lis best described by the reports OF the
Bureau OF Agriculture, at Washington, q. C
Montana is not only the incompatible grain producer OF this Onion,
but her qualities Of grain are prize winners wherever exhibited in com.
petition.
These are indisputabe facts, and failure on the part of one engaged
in farming here, can. be attributed only to the man and not to the land,
the soil the conditions, or the markets. Is this not true? Investigate
and satisfy yourself.
Montana s a producer OF alfalfa, timothy. and all grasses and yege-
tables, ranks high. Tbs qualities are equal to the best. The acre yields
have demonstrated the raI value, when under cultivation, and will rapidly
increase the prices that are now asked for agricultural properties In
this state.
Fruit growing is an industry of Importance here and the suitabIeness
of the soil and climate has been demonstrated to the satisfaction Of those
who have engaged in that business on a large scale. In 1890, Montana
produced but 1896 boxes OF apples, while in 1910. our yield was 616.000
boxes.
The cultivation of the soil, and the rapid development of Montana
as an agricultural state, will no doubt, increase activity in connection
with the many other natural resources here. Montana is, and has been
for many years, a great producer of gold, silver, copper lead, zinc and
coal, and her mines give employment to many thousands of miners, and
smeHermen. These men are consumers of farm products, Of dairy pro-
ducts and Of poultry, eggs, beet. mutton and pork Ready markets are
afforded and good prices are always obtainable. The development Of
other natural resources in this state will give employment to men, suffc-
tent in number, to consume the products Of her farmers for many years
to ON.

756, ,67S,SSS Passengers Carried in Ten
 Years; 20 Killed

The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad has careful eompil- ation of the number of trains il has op- erated in the last ten years, the num- Der of miles these trains have covered, the total number of passengers carried bv these trains and the mum Der of train accidents in which passengers were killed. The period taken for purposes of this compilation was from June 30, 1902, to June b, 1918. This is three months longer than the period covered by the incumbeuey of President ChaS. S. Mellen, who assumed his duties in October, 1908.
 This compilation shows that between June So 1908, and June l5, 1918, the New Haven road operated a,01s, 700 trains over distance of los,oSl ,o4l miles and has carried. a total of 5oo,- 67s, ,33S passengers paying fare. Of the 5,o7s, 750 trains operated in this period just trains suffered accidents in which persons travelling on them were killed. The number who lost their lives as a result of these accidents amounts to just %. This is one pas senger killed in every 2o,05I,sIS car ried.
 The record of accidents here given includes those accidents only in which passengers were killed on board trains. Reports of "aeeidents to passengers such, for example, as those filed with the interstate commerce commission, are usually not confined to this class, but include those persons killed by be- ing struck by trains or killed while boarding or alighting from trains.

Mellen's "OfliciaI Health

Some distinguished Boston newspa' per editors are losing lot of sleep Just now over what they waggishly term the aofricia health of Charles S. Mel len. They are quite sure that he will lose his official head within very short time, but whether by resignation or deposition they do not profess to know. They are rather inclined to think that Mir. Mellen will resign, but in case he is not so accommodating they feel perfectly confident that the stock holders protective committee will take care of him.
 Of course, the wish is father to the thought in all of this speculation Some of it has it's source in the ever ready journalistic imagination, and the rest is based on ttipsn from mem- bers of the anti New Haven caoal, who clnim to be in the confidence of them bers of the stockholders protective committee" or to "have il straight" from a prominent State Street or Wall street banker who "knows whereof he speaks"
 We do not know whether any one connected with the stockholders pro- tective committee is responsible for such yarns or not, but we do know that while Chairman Meyer of that committee K insisting that the com mittee is neither for nor against NIT. Mellen al the present tune, the anti New Haven newspapers are declaring that the purpose of the committee is to bring about complete reorganization ol the New HWen management.
 Ne know, furthermore, that Mir. Meyer is said to furnish the insl ira ton for the Boston Evening Tran scripts remarkably yellow anti-New Haven attitude; and if that is so, the following extracts from an editorial in last Saturdays Transcript may throw some light on the real purpose of the stockholders protective committee;
 "The purpose of this investigation tthe committees investigation will be to lay the foundation for reorgani- zation along lines which similar con cerns have long ago followed. The meeting in New York may be regard ed as the consultation that precedes a surgical operation. Too much depends upon the successful maintenance of this great railway system fer the solu- ton of the problem to be hampered by the fate of any one man. In the light of what the directors have heard and are about to hear from the representatives of the New Haven $ stockholders, il k 10 be hoped they will not tuin deaf ear to constructive criticism merely because it is more comfortable te hear organic adula. ton"
 Here we have judgment passed ,reor- ganization brought about and Mr,Mei- len deposed simultaneously with the announcement that an investigation is to be held. Does this faithfully reflect the attitude Of the stockholders pro tective committee, or of the chairman of that eommitteeg Ii so, then We think the stock kholders ought to know il before they give up any more prox' ieS-TTuth July ,.

 In six of the ten years-l904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1909 and 19l0-not a single passenger lost his life notwithstanding the fact that in those six years total of Al ,426 900 passengers rode over 1l0,- TT ,639 miles in 8 3,520 900 trains.
 The 755,67s,3 1888 passengers carried during these ten years is practically Sl times the population of the United States. These figures show, in other words, that eight and one quarter times the population of this country have been carried distance equal to 6,34l times around the globe, and with but 29 losses of life. The territory covered by the New Haven is such that it's passenger traffic with the exception of few minor lines, is the densest of any railroad, thus greatly increasing the problem of operation.
 Of the % killed in the ten years GOV cred by this compilation all but one have been killed in the last three years.

Warm Water Is Better Than Cold, as Former Cuts Grease and Allows So- lution to Get to All Parts of
 Animals Skin.

Dipping in a reliable dip is the nroper treatment for sheep afflicted with sheep scab.
 Use a dip made of lime and sul phur. tobacco and sulphur, or one of the coal tar dips.
 Remove all sediment from the lime and sulphur dip, as it injured the wool
 Tobacco dips should never be boiled.
 For a general dip tobacco or coal tar preparation is to be preferred to lime and sulphur, as lime and sul- phur dip has little effect in destroy ing the sheep tick or louse.
 A fresh solution should be used for the second dipping. This is absolutely essential If the lime and sulphur or the tobacco and sulphur are to be used
 Mix the dip we'll in the vat.
 It is better to use warm water than cold water in dipping sheep, as warm water cuts the grease and allows the dip to get to all parts of the skin of the animal
 The correct temperature for dip is from 100 to 105 degrees Fah. renheit
 Sheep can be dipped In the winter If warm days are selected for that purpose.
 If the sheep are badly afflicted with scab. the thick scabs should be soft ened previous to the dipping of the sheep by pouring some of the dip on these places and rubbing them with some smooth instrument, or the scabs
