ENDS IN PRETTY ROMANCE.
Was Marriage Of Monte Jones to Chica-
go Young Lady.

The marriage Of Monte Jones, form
err Grangeville boy, and Miss Blanche
Mccormick of Chicago at Billings
Montana last week was the elimination
of pretty romance which dates back
several summers ago when the Chicago
young lady met Mr.. Jones during a trip
through the Yellowstone Park. Tn
speaking of the wedding the paper of
Cody, Wyoming, where Monte makes
his headquarters, has the following to
say:
Montgomery Jones of Cody, Wyo.,
and Miss Blanche Mccormick Of Chi
cago were united in marriage at the
st. Patrick's Rectory by Rev. Father
Cyril Pauwelyn, rector of st. Patrick g
Church. The couple will leave for
their future home in Cody after short
honeymoon in this city
The above is taken from the Bill
lings Gazette of November "a.
"1t is strongly suspected that the
montgomery Jones mentioned in the
news item is none other than Mont G.
Jones, of Jones Bros. & Magill. Mr..
Jones left few days ago for Billings.
He was accused at the time of having
wedding in mind, but denied the ru-
NOR so stoutly that his friends were
convinced.
Monte G. Jones is one of the popu-
lar young men of this section. A mem
Der of the firm Of Jones Bros. & Maeill,
guides and hunters, he has helped es-
tablish an enviable reputation for the
firm. His many friends will welcome
his return with bride, and the young
couple will have the best wishes Of a
host of acquaintance.

PICCISH PIGS PROFITABLE.

- READINESS is a distinct asset
0 in pigs, and the heavy eaters are
more profitable than the light
eaters. ut is the pigs chief bust
ness to make a hog of himself" says
the swine specialist at the Oregon
Agricultural College, IF he eats
only enough to live, he make nc
profit for the owner. Only on what
he eats above his needs as a living
animal Is fat put On his body and
money put into his owners pocket.
The extent to which the pig will
eat and make good use Of his feed is
indicated by constitution. Hence in
buying a pig for ~fattening we shoulc
look we'll to the points that indicate
good constitution. A short snout in
dicates a good appetite, and milo
eyes show the good natured mac
tivity that bespeaks a good use O.
the feed. The short, broad face
that usually goes with a shor
blocky body is usually associated
with easy ~fattening qualities"

ORGANIC MATTER IN SOILS.

ARGANIC matter of soils is the de-
~ caying roots and vegetable COM
pounds and the really active soil
constituent as compared with humus.'
Humus, as defined by Professor j.
r. Larson, Extension agronomist at
o. A. c., is the decaying vegetable
matter already incorporated In the
soil and has become a distinct part
of the soil mass. A supply OF or
ganic matter is kept in the soil by
applications of vegetable matter such
as barnyard and green manures.
which keep up the humuA content as
we'll. If soils are cropped long and
continuously to grains in which the
growth Is mostly removed, they be-
come sad and lifeless. The particles
run together badly causing greater
effort to work the soil and also less
production. The surface puddles
and bakes and becomes intractible
It may be made to respond te
proper treatment in the application
of organic matter. At the same time
this matter furnishes an additions
supply Of plant food, increases bac
terial activity and releases otherwise
unavailable plant food. 1t also aid
in proper aeration and drainage. /
is indeed poor farming practice u
fail to supply organic matter to har'
worked soils.

AIDS NEIGHBORLY EXCHANGE.

EARM bulletin boards are used by
many farmers in some districts
to post notices or Of things to
sell and things wanted. AS des-
cribed by r. E. Reynolds, field live
stock man of the Agricultural Col
lege, these boards r about three
by four feet in size, and have the
name of the farm, the name OF the
owner and the words For Sale"
painted in plain letters near the
top. and Wanted across the CEN
ter of the space below. The surplus
small items such as poultry, 1rui'
and garden product, are then writ
ten under the sale notice, and other
small items likely to be had by the
neighbors are written in the same
manner under wanted" All the
larger items for sale or wanted are
advertised in the newspapers, where
| the notice will reach the centers OF
supply and demand. Only the items
for neighborly exchange are posted
IN the bulletin board, which Is
placed on the road near the house,
This practice not only facilitates
neighborly exchange but it serves tt
advertise the farm, encourages I'M
use OF farm names and farm station
ary. and conveys useful information
to travellers. Farmers who have triet
the plan are immensely pleased VIII

CLOSING CHICAGO YARDS
BLOW TO CATTLE MARkE1

lEYxIE cattle market Is bound to
be upset at least temporarily
by the closing down OF the
Chicago stock yards" said Prof. =. L.
hotter. beef specialist in charge OF the
@. A. G. Animal Husbandry Depart
ment.
"The effect of turning away $1,000
600 worth Of beef cattle during
every week that the plants are shut
down will be far reaching. Much
Of the western stuff that has been
finding its way to the Chicago yards
will be diverted to other packing
centers, notably Kansas City ana
Omaha, where the unusually heavy
supply must glut the market. The
inevitable effect Of a continued quar-
antine will greatly disturb the nor.
NAL channels of trade in cattle and
meat, producing a surplus in some
quarters and a scarcity in others.
"Of course some Of the live stock
can be held, but much OF 1T will Dt
forced by lack Of feed and othe1
causes to find a market somewhere
The extent to which this will fore
down prices cannot be known, sine
t the Chicago yards have been in con
. tinuous operation for almost b.
, years and we have no closing pre-
q cedent to base estimates on. Clos
ing for a few days should not b
s. serious since about one-half OF tn
r s4,O00,000 receipts are accepted o
Mondays. But if the prevalence
. the mouth disease forces closing owe
t a period of several weeks the effect
+ must be serious.

WEIGHT OF HOGS FACTOR.

nROPER weight of hogs Is consld-
cred the most important factor
in judging its value, based on
the score cards prepared for use OF
nublic school children in Judging
hogs. The reason for this, says Pro-
lessor Samson, the 0. A. c. swine
specialist, who made up the value
points, is that the overweight pig
cuts up to poor advantage and the
under-weight pig is likely to be a
loss to the producer. The best
weight, that brings the highest mar
ket price per pound, is from 175 td
225 pounds, and the nearer the
20o-pound mark the better.
Although condition, that is, carry
ing the fat evenly distributed ove1
the necessary parts of the carcass
is marked as high as weight on tn
score card-20 points-but the Gu
for variation is double for owe
