MAKING THE FLOWING EASIER
Are Called Upon to Perform
Keep Shares sharpened.

Flowing is at best the hardest work
our farm horses have to perform.
Few pillow teams are not doing 10 to
80 per cent. Of unnecessary work. The
writer has seen plows which he be-
lieved were pulling SO per cent harder
than they should, writes q. w. Ham
ilton in an exchange.
We are told that about so per cent.
of the draft of pillow is due to the
cutting of the furrow slice. The con-
dition of the cutting edge must then
be of first Importance. Expert. plow-
men recognize this and in competi-
lions file their shares to knife edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown 36 per
cent. heavier draft than a new share.
Again, engine plows of the same
make and size have under the same
conditions shown 45 per cent. differ.
ence in draft in favor of the new fresh
~ filed shares over resharpened
shares in ordinary condition. 1t will
certainly pay to keep the plowshares
sharp and in proper form.
The set and adjustment of plow
has almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A
riding plow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than a
walking pillow or plows Of the same
widths. Yet how many do it? About
30 per cent. of the draft of a walking
plow is due to the friction Of the
plow on the bottom and side OF the
furrow. In the riding plow this fric-
ton is eliminated by carrying the
weight and down and side pressure OF
pillow bottom on wheels.
To accomplish this the rear furrow
wheel is set out about an inch and a
quarter SO that Landslide cannot touch
the side furrow. The wheel is also
set down so the heel of Landslide is
raised of the bottom of furrow. When
SO set the plow bottom will sink into
the ground and hang there. When
pillow bottoms float" in the frame
none of the bottom and side pressure
is removed and the draft of the bot.
toms is the same as that of the walk.
ing plows to which must be added that
due to weight of plow frame and
driver.

Twenty years ago, blond-haired
young Swede, boy of about 10 years
Of age, accompanied q party Of his
iellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter-
prefer. The party he accompanied To-
lated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
Of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Inconsistencies took him back
to his home at F1tchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for IL years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
q shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony Of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when l was up in Canada, Calgary
was small town and so was Edmon-
ton, but understand they have grown
wonderfully SINCE"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to

will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities. showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line Of
railway made q somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass. there are three
lines Of railway dividing the trade Of
hundreds of thousands Of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.

was then So an acre is worth the $50
or $35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more. But he will find that
he can secure a homestead Just as
good as any that were taken in his
day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from line of rail

COLLIE ON THE FARM
Good Dog Is as Essential as
Other Live Stock.
Rou0h-C Coated Scotch Variety 10 Not
Only Useful Around Sheep, but
Can Be Taught to Drive Cat
tie and Keep Watch.

There is nothing more companion
able when rambling through the
woods or walking in the country than
q fine dog. On the farm q dog-a
good one-is as essential as other live
stock.
There is no animal more intelligent
or sagacious than a collie, and no dog
is more suitable for the farmer. Col
lies are very beautiful, graceful In
every movement and are active all the
time. Their heavy coat adds to their
beauty, and enables them to with.
stand all kinds OF exposure. A collie
is easily taught. and soon learns to
do useful duties about the place with.
out bidding. They think and act for
themselves in an emergency, making
most excellent watchdogs, and always
show loyalty and love for their mas.

dog just get good intelligent collie
and you will in short time think
nearly as much of him as any member
Of the family. They make fine com
panions for women and children. They
are very affectionate and their affeo
tons are strong and lasting.
The rough-coated Scotch collie Is
one Of the oldest breeds of dogs. It's
history extends way back into ancient
times when dogs of this breed were
used by the shepherds to care fol
their flocks. It is today used for this
same purpose not only in the west
among the mountains and the plains
but in England and Scotland, as well

GETTING Seed Grain Early.

Do not wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do il
while you have plenty Of grain al
hand from which to select. The best
twenty-five bushels of grain out of 9
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from a much smaller
amount in the spring.
The cost Of thus cleaning and grad.
ing the grain is very slight, and IL
enables one to have heavy, plump seec
grain at very little outlay.

Fertjlize PROPERLY.

Farmers are paying out millions OF
dollars each year for fertilizers. Prob
ably the greater part of this money is
well spent, but it is possible that 1t
might be better spent. by a more
careful selection Of the goods used.
by adapting the fertilizer to the crops
and soil and by buying on the basis of
the plant food they contain rather
than by seeking goods that sell at a
low price.

Roueh-coated Scotch Collie.

as in every other country under the
sun, where they have made them
selves indispensable. They are not
only very useful around sheep, but
can easily be taught to drive cattle
and to keep a general watch over
them, as well as of hogs and of the
poultry. Many collie has learned to
keep fowls out Of the garden and away
from the front of the house without
ever doing any damage to them.
The price of collies, as with fowls,
depends greatly upon the quality and
what they are wanted for. Some of
our highest show types of collies are
the most intelligent and useful around
the farm. Good puppies sell to the
farmers at from $500 to $1,000 each.
The fancier who desires to raise col
lie puppies pays from SO to $50 for
puppies not over two to four weeks
old.
One collie was brought to this
country from England several years
ago for $1,000, and one came last
year at the reported price of $500.
Every year several change hands At
$1,000 each, and many at 500 up.
Collies can be trained easily and
quickly, to do many useful things, but
there is one thing that should be
borne in mind, and that is, the train
ing should be done by only one per-
son. Do not let every member of the
family take hand in the training or
the result will be spoiled dog. When
we'll trained, no farmer will ever re-
greet having spent a little time and
money on q collie

but that Mr.. Logan is the right
man in the right place.
Throughout the meeting the
idea of bringing the school to
the children" was emphasized.
Mr.. Logan desired the teachers
should observe the special re-
quirements of the different To-
calities of the districts and, in so
far as practicable, adapt the
school work to meet those con-
ditions. He feels that the child
rem too long have been compelled
to meet the requirements of the
school, and that if this order is
reversed the children will soon
awaken to full realization of
the advantages and benefits to
be deprived, that their school
work will grow more interesting
to them, and that the number
dropping from the ranks at an
early age will rapidly decreased.
Ways of meking subjects more
attractive and interesting to the
pupils were discussed. One idea
advanced was that of the "Old
Fashioned Spelling g-Bee." 1t
was suggested that on each Fri
day of the first three weeks a
short time be devoted to spelling
matches in the various grades of
each school and the fourth Fri
day that the winners from each
school in the division meet for a
championship match; and later,
the division winners to meet for
the district championship. Meth
DDS of developing interest in
other branches of school work
were discussed and are schedul-
ed for further consideration at
future meetings in the hopes of
determining definite plans.
Next Saturday a meeting of
the teachers from the north end
of the district will be held at Ro-
nan, and it is hoped that as
many teachers as possible will
attend.

DON'T KICK ABOUT
the CHEMICAL ENGINE

There We're a good many un-
favorable comments heard last
Saturday evening concerning the
uselessness of the chemical fire
engine. 1t was heard said,
"Throw it in the creek" and
several other equally caustic
suggestions concerning it. 1t is
no fault of the chemical en-
gine that it has never been at a
fire in time to accomplish any
thing or to demonstrate it's use
fulness or worthlessness. The
fault lies entirely with the citi-
zens of Roman in not organizing
fire company to handle this
valuable fire fighting apparatus
after it has been purchased.
What should be done is for the
citizens to organize a company,
elect a captain of foreman, with
authority to command the men
under him at a fire, that some
headway might be made in fight
ing a fire. This company should
be conversant with the chemical
and the manner of handling it.
At the present time it is not
known whether or not there is
one person in town who could
load the engine and operate it
after it was ready for work.
That should not be the case, as
it is certainly a useless apparatus
with everybody ignorant as to
its method of operation. The
fault is all our own, not that of
the engine.

fire hydrants at every mans
door and still be unable to fight
a fire with it. There would have
to be a hose cart with plenty of
hose and nozzles, and a comp; ny
or more of trained men with
kno wledge of how to turn
on the water and how to prop
erly combat the flames. With
out these things it would be as
useless as many say the chemical
engine is today. There is no
question whatever but the chem
ical is a good instrument to ex-
tinguish incipient fires, when it
is properly handled and in the
hands OF men competent to oper-
ate it. That being true, then it
is up to the people here to take
hold Of the matter and organize
the company, become acquainted
with the proper manner of orer-
ating the machine and then when
a fire breaks out make an effort
to get the engine on the ground
in the shortest time possible and
demonstrate it's usefulness.

ALLIED INDIANS
ENDORSE NORRIS

The head men of the kootenai,
Flathead and Pend d'Orielle
tribes have unanimously signed
an endorsement of Gov. Norris
for the post of secretary of the
interior.
The Indians are as much inter
ested as to who shall fill this i'm
portant post as anybody, and
they feel that they have not
been fairly treated by some of
those who have been secretary
in the past. Their endorsement
will be forwarded to Gov. Wilson
at once and it is hoped that it
will add the necessary weight, if
any is needed, to tip the scales
in favor of the Montana candi-
date.
In this connection, it may be
said that the good prophets in
the democratic council say that
Gov. Norris is almost certain to
be appointed, and this statement
has increased the enthusiasm for
him tO q larra extent Shn1ld
the president-elect decide to ap-
point a man from the public land
states, Gov. Norris stands an ex-
cellent chance of appointment.
He is the first choice of three
out of six democratic senators
from public land states, and sec
ond choice by all of them. This
makes his chances very good.
