Explains New Weiqht Law

The word approximately" in con.
nection with the label on bottled or
package goods is not necessary, holds
Attorney General Kelly in reply to a
query from County Attorney McCon.
nell of Helena.
The department was asked to pass
upon the validity of a label reading
approximately 80 ounces" Mr.. Kelly
holds the word approximately is not
necessary, the law allowing for an
approximation of not more than three
per cent one way or the other. He
holds that containers bearing such a
label must actually hold within three
per cent of 30 ounces, and that the
three per cent may be overweight
or underweight. In other words, as
long as the three per cent variation
is not intentional, it is allowed.
Section ~ of the act reading, "PrO-
vided, further, that nothing in this
section shall apply to commodities or
articles of merchandise, except milk
and cream, offered for sale or sold in
packages or containers at a price of
ten cents o less per such package"
Mr.. Kelly says means that the net
container provision of the law applies
to milk and cream, and to every kind
of contained goods, except contained
goods sold for less than ten cents.

Figure Profits From Chickens


A flock of twelve hens, given ordi.
nary care, will yield their owner as
much annual profit as would be de.
rived from a savings account of $500,
drawing 4 per cent interest. chicken
fanciers in Butte have figured out.
And if their owner will evince a bit
interest than ordinary care re.
quires, the chickens will do the work
of a savings account of 5000.
Butte recently held a big poultrv
show that attracted nearly as much
attention there as does a race meet.
The majority of the exhibitors were
agreed, according to the Butte Post
that chickens pay except under the
most disturbing circumstances. Ac.
cording to an average obtained by
considering the statements of several
experts chickens may be kept even in
a city lot, under proper conditions,
and $1.00 per head may be obtained
as profit, besides supplying the table
in the meantime with the best of
spring chicken. Those who under.
stand chickens, give a little care and
take some interest, should easily
clear 50 a head. The country is the
place for the chickens in the first
place, but even in the city they can
be made a great success. BY all
means, the experts assert, people
should have their own chickens, es-
pecially if they have any interest at
all in poultry culture.

Instructions have been SEM to all
county superintendent and teachers
regarding the state and county fair
contests. The county superintendent
wishes at least m boy and girl from
every district to enter the state con-
test in potato growing for the boys
and sewing for the girls. The prize
