AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.
A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges

Big Sandy Sentinel: Miss E.
Maude Kelly's ranch holds the record
average yield in this vicinity of 36h
bushels of wheat per acre on 20 acres.
Conrad Independent: The Conrad
creamery was closed the first of the
month or account of lack of business.
Just what will be done with the in
stitution it is not known at this time,
but it is hoped that it will be opened
up again next spring.
Carter Herald: c. B. Thurston's
wheat crop averaged SO bushels to the
acre and according to reports a loss
of from three to four bushels to the
acre was sustained in the harvesting.
This is the best yield yet reported
and is a record-breaker to the best Of
our knowledge.
Geraldine Review: Len Thornquist
had the bad luck to lose his auto by
fire last Friday while enroute to Den
ton. He was making the Arrow creek
hill when backire ignited his car and
he had barely time with a companion
to Jump from the car when it went
down w the hill.
hinsdale Tribune: A homesteader
by the name of Bredahl, residing
about eight miles north of Saco, was
killed last Sunday night during the
severe wind and rain storm, by blow
ing the roof off his machine shed in
upon him, crushing him to almost in
slant death. The same storm also
blew the roof off a small building on
the Emil Ritcher place north of Van
dalia.
Galata Journal: John Reck, a far
mer living two miles southeast of De
Won, was attacked Saturday afternoon
by a v:'in':s bull and sustained injur-
les whica MAY prove fatal. Reck was
thrown TO the ground and repeatedly
stamped Upon and struck by the ami.
nal, which luckily was dehorned or
he probably would have been killed
outright. He suffered E broken leg
early il the onslaught, and was un-

toward the single long taproot. In
most cases there are very few lateral
or spreading roots. In some others.
however. the taproOt is not so promi-
rent. as it has many branching or
spreading roots.
The type of alfalfa should be adapted
to the soil from the standpoint of roo
structure. The deep. we'll drained loan
or gravel makes an ideal soil for the
long taproot variety. which will .
grow in soils having a compact subsoil.
The agricultural department Of the
Lehigh Valley railroad hopes to see
alfalfa growing on every farm in
northern Pennsylvania and New York.
Much of the land along this road is
of limestone formation and is usually
well drained. On this there was little
trouble. The greatest difficulty came
from the voluSia silt soils Of southern
New York and northern Pennsylvania.
Here. under approved methods. alfalfa
could be vel started. only to be heaved
entirely out of the ground by the alter
nate freezing and thawing of the first
spring,
In practically every large field that
heaved. however. as well Is in many
fields in the limestone belt that had
gradually run out. there always re-
manned individual plants in spots
about the field. Examination Of these
individual plants showed that they did
not rest in any particularly favorable
location. but that they had remained
in the soil because the seed had been
mixed.
1t was found that the more branch
ing the roots of the plants the larger
We're the branches above the crown.
Alfalfa experts Of the western states
We're called upon. and sample" Of many
branching roo varieties were secured.
Among these the Grimm alfalfa gave
the greatest promise Of success on the
hardpan soils. 4. further advantage
was that it had been propagated sutti.
GENTLY long to give an ample supply OF
seed. 1t is hoped that a desirable
strain may also be developed from the
Baltic variety.

Hioh Cost humor,

who have discovered how to make
both ends meet. They begin dinner
with oxtail soup and end with head
cheese. You'll; have to study quite
awhile to get this one.
The other is about another young
couple who tried to ecOnOmiZe by going

tables they raised meat was too dear
to be thought of. But one snowy day
the husband took his gun and started
for the woods.
He had been gone two hours. when
his wife heard his CHEEKY shout. She
rushed to the doOr-he was coming
with the carcass of some creature he
had slain.
"Meat-meat ut last he shouted.
What sort of meat?" she cried.

Necessary. Perhaps.

Prince Henry. third son Of the king
and queen of England. who is fourteen
years of age. is regarded as the hu-
mOrist Of the royal family.
On one occasion his elder brothers
were discussing their future careers,
The Prince of Wales boosted that he
intended to be a great general. Prince
Albert said he intended to win indy
ing fame as an admiral. When the
two boys had exhausted the glOries OF
their own careers they turned to their
younger brother. who had been listen
ing quietly and patiently to the in
tended exploits Of his elders.
"What are you going to do. Henry?"
he was asked.
Prince Henry thought hard for a
minute. Then he said quietly. II think

BARNUM'S QUICK WIT.
He Turned It to Account When His
Old Lion Was Killed.

Among the features of the paradeS
of the Barnum circus there was for.
merry one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top of II Of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous lion.
He was lot confined in any way, and
V people WATCHING. the parade
would shudder at the sight II con-
template the terrible possibility Of the
lion springing into the midst Of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king of beasts
had reached the leonine dotage. and
stitfencd muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and in the winter
quarters. where he was allowed to
roam at will. sometimes had to be pro-
tected from the Onslaughts of %irrever-
cnt and mischievous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the curse of his travels
he CHANGED on a barn where Il meek
eyed COW was placidly chewing her
cud. \ faint flicker of the slumbering
jungle spirit stirred his pulse. and with
n crashing blow of the huge forepaw
the COW was slain: then. lying down
beside his victim. he went to sleep and
dreamed of the time when he was a
shaggy little whelp playing with his
brothers under the bright sun of his
faroff African home.
In the morning the wner of the COW.
a stalwart female with the blood Of
Irish kings in her veins. entered the
barn. with milk pail in hand. She was
filed with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With Il keen edged AK in her
hand and grim determination in her
eye she fenrlessly approached the
sleeping lion. and when the me sent
out to search for him arrived he lay
cold in death. Rarnum promptly paid
for the dead COW and engaged to APP

who was staying at a hotel there olIe
morning saw a bathtuh half full o!
water standing outside her door and,
thinking it was intended for her use.
took possession Of it. Later. however.
some one came to fetch the tub and

Then the lady learned to her diSmay
