Fate of Son in Austria.

Rome, Dec. THE Giornale dItalia
says that a soldier from Trieste who
was at the front in Galicia, wrote to
his mother expressing a great desire to
see her again and saying he was ready
to be taken prisoner if by so doing
he would be able to embrace her once
more. The letter reached the mother
with the addition from the Austrian
general staff: The soldier was shot

Selection Of Seed Potatoes

In selecting potato tubers for seed
purposes the grower should keep in
mind the following we'll known prin-
ciples:
/. Select seed true to variety and
type.
2. Avoid abnormal elongated and
tapering tubers as they are degener-
ated or run out and will produce only
low yields.
3. AS a general practice discard
the small tubers for seed purposes, as
they were obtained largely from poor
hills. Small tubers produced by high
yielding hills, however, are prefer
able to larger tubers from poor hills.
4. II you are dependent upon bin
selection, use tubers weighing at
least five. ounces for seed and you
will find that. this will eliminate a
large percentage of the inferior
strains.
5. Plant hills with one piece and
during the summer mark the most
vigorous hills with stakes and save
the tubers that yield best and that
are truest to type for next seasons
seed plot.
6. If hill selection is carefully
carried out, there will be little, If any
need for change of seed. There are
records Of several growers who have
maintained their yield for long per-
iods by careful selection.
Z. If your seed stock has been run
out by improper selection, purchase
new seed true to variety and type
from reliable growers or seedmen.
s. Stick to the standard varieties
that have been proved by trial sue
cessful in your locality and avoid or
test only in a small way the new or
little known sorts-Richard Yelling

Get the Garden Habit

The jokesmith who ekes out an ex.
istence on the eastern papers. never
wearies of poking fun at the amateur
gardener. The trouble with the joke
smith is, that he lives in small room
and does not see a bit of the real son
in years. He is being of the paved
street and gas light, and he knows
naught of the sweet OdOrs of the soil.
And of the joys of seeing things
grow. 1t may be that gardening does
not pay, so far as the vegetables and
fruits are concerned. But that is a
minor item. 1t pays the man and
the woman to garden, not for the sake
of what they grow, but for their own
sake. 1t is the healthiest and most
enjoyable of all occupations. People
who work in the gardens and on the
soil, live longer and are happier and
healthier than others.
The Greeks had fable of Anteus,
the son of Mother Earth, who engaged
in many combats and overcame all his
adversaries, for when hurled to the
earth he gained new strength from
the mere contact with, from the low
ing touch of his mother. There is a
great truth in these ancient tales. We
are all children of the soil-children
of the earth. And in all of us there
is an unconscious longing for an op-
portunity just to get back closer to
Mother Earth and to gain new hope,
new strength from her.
! In towns like ours the soil is ac-
cessible to almost all. Get few
square yards somewhere and dig and
make your beds and plant them, and
give as much as possible Of your
spare time to the garden plot. 1t may
/ be that the grocer would not give you
(, Is cents for your whole crop, but by
the end of the season you will have
gained what thousands of dollars
could not buy for you-new health and
strength, new hope, new confidence, q
brighter, better view of life. Get the
garden habits-Madisonian.

Corn and Diversified Farminn

The farming on the dry lands of
Montana comes under the head Of
grain farming. the revenue being de.
rived from one source-that of grain:
hence, If the crop of grain is poor or
the price low, the farmer cannot pros
per. Another great disadvantage of
this type of farming is the unequal
distribution of labor, there being a
rush at periods of seeding and har.
vesting and but little to do during the
time intervening. The land should be
plowed for each grain crop and, in. the
drier sections. summer.tilled every
other year.
Corn growing changes this type OF
farming to one Of diversiication. In
stead of depending upon one source
of income the farmer has many
sources, such as hogs, beef, dairy pro-
ducts, grain. etc. Labor is more equal
ly distributed when corn is cultivated
in place of summer-tilling. Thus 1t Is
seen that agricultural wealth, diver
sified farming. stock growing and dat
rying are closely associated with corn
growing.
In the light of data which has been
secured by the dry land investigations
of the experiment station. there are
about eight millions acres of land In
Montana adapted to some form Of
corn raising. This is equal to the av
erage acreage Of Iowa and Illinois com
bined. Montana climatic conditions
are entirely different from those of the
middle west. and consequently oul
methods of corn raising. harvesting
and utilizing the crop must be differ
ent.-M. L. Wilson, county agricul
turist for Custer county.
