New Seed Law.

The seed law, which was pas
sed by the 1913 Legislature. goes
into effect Jan. /, 1914. This
means that all lots of agricultural
seed, Of one pound and up, sold
in the State, must bear a label
giving the percentage Of purity
and the percentage and date of
termination, also the approxi-
mate percentage Of quack grass,
wild oats, fanweed, ooGder and
mustard. If these percentages
are not knowc the seed must be
sold as "unc!ean Seed" "Un-
clean seed'' is not easy to sell
and there is no excuse for such
labelling. The seed laboratory at
the Experiment Station at Boze-
man IS now equipped and makes
these tests free Of charge for
any citizen Of Montana.
If you have seed to sell, or are
IN doubt about some seed that
you have purchased, or are 60
ing to purchase, send us a sam
pie for analysis. Send it early
because there will be q bic rush
about the first Of January and
some one may have to wait.
These tests take from s to rs
days, so submit your sample sew
eral days before you desire to
use the seed. Send not less
than 2 q. Of small seed such as
clover, timothy, alfalfa, etc. and
not less than'4 OF. # the larger
grains such as wheat, oats, rye,
barley and corn.
Always state whether. Won
want purity or gernination tests
or both. These samples should
be sent by parcel oost 10 the
State Grain Laboratory at Bcze-
man, Montana.

Minnie felt Inundated. She had
never thought of an evening gown

moment her face frightened, for
there on the chair she saw her white
peau-de-soie that she had worn in
the country with an old-fashioned
high neck, and it had been cut low
for her while she slept.
Dressed, she started down the
broad staircase. A butler waited for
her at the foot and he bowed low as
he announced that dinner awaited
her.
''T'he dinner service was beautiful.
Maiden-hair fern was treIlised from
the chandelier down to the four cor

orchids served as a centerpiece. The
cut glass scintillated, the linen was

was solid and the girls were beauti-

careless mothers that did not under
stand the natural pleasures a child
should know. Parents who did not
furnish banquets, so that their girls
might have a bevy of associates in
the home, and each had escaped and
was duly thankful therefor.
Parents are greatly responsible

affirmed "Why, do you know nay
