HOT WEATHER RULES
FOR HORSES
Load lightly, and drive slowly.

Load lightly, and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade if possible.
Watch your horses as often as pos
sible. So long as a horse is working
water in small quantities will not hurt
him. But let him drink only a few
swallows if he is going to stand still.
Do not fail to water him at night af-
ter he has eaten his hay.
When he comes in after work,
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his nose and mouth, and the
dock. Wash his feet but not his legs.
If the thermometer is IS degrees
or higher, wipe him all over with a
damp sponge. Use vinegar water, if
possible. Do not turn the hose on
him.
Saturday night, give a bran mash,
lukewarm; and add a tablespoonful of
saltpetre.
Do not use a horse-hat, unless it
is a canopy-top. The ordinary bell
shaped hat does more harm than good.
A sponge on top of the head, or
even a cloth, is good, if kept wet.
If dry it is worse than nothing.
If the horse is overcome by heat,
get him into the shade, remove the
harness and bride, wash out his
mouth, sponge him all over, shower
his legs, and give him two ounces of
aromatic spirits of amonia, OF two
ounces of sweet spirits of n'tre, in a
pint of water; or give him a pint IF
coffee warm. Coil his head at once,
using cold wa.s- or. if necessary,
chopped ice, wipe! in a cloth.
If a horse is off his feed, try him
with two quarts of oats mixed with
bran, and a little water; and add a
little salt or sugar. Or give him oat-
meal cruel or barley water to drink.
Watch your horse. If he stops

FAIR GROWTH SHOWN

The 1915 catalogue of the Montana
State Fair is off the press and has
been mailed to the farmers, stock
growers and exhibitors in Montana
and other states. Compilations from
this book show that Montana is more
liberal in offering premiums than any
other state fair in the country when
figured on a population basis. The
Montana State Fair offered 1Okc per
person in 1914; North Dakota &c;
Minnesota SIC; Iowa Sc; Washington
NC and louisiana not even 1c. The
1915 compilations will bear out the
1914 proportions. "~~
The increase since 1912 is interest
4ng and shows how Montana's insti-
tutions are growing. In 1912 there
were $3.50 entries in II departments;
in 1913 there were 1928; while in
1914 they amounted to 1924; or a
gain of "a per cent. in two years.
The attendance has increased 20 per
cent. in two years and the revenue
32k per cent, while the operating ex-
penses advanced but 1871 per cent
during the same period.
This years fair will be held at the
accustomed time, the last week of
September, 1925. Harvests are lat
er in Montana TIM in most states and
it is found that late September is
the most opportune time for the fair.
Indian summer weather frequently de-
fies the equinoxial change, last years
exposition having six days Of SUM-
shine and success. Indications point
to a better state fair in Montana in
1915 than ever before.

the surface or be smothered in the
soil. Then the weak point in the life
of the plant is just at or before flow
ering. Cut the thistles in a pasture
field or along the fences just before
the first plants bloom, as close to the
ground as possible, or better still, cut
them below the ground with a hoe
or spud. During the rest of the sea-
son cut the plants al oon as they
show above the ground with a spud.
If this work is thoroughly done there
will be very few thistles left for next
year.
The land infested with these thist-
les should not be irrigated. If it is a
portion of a cultivated field that is
infested with the thistles, summer
fallow the ground and let the thistles
grow until the seed buds are formed,
but before the flower. Then pillow,
using a chain to pull all the thistles
under the ground and cover them COM
pletely. Next pack the ground and
|cultivate frequently enough to cut of
any stalks as soon is they appear
above the surface.
For a small patch Of thistles, or
to get rid of the few that may be
left the next year after the treat
ment suggested, the best tool to use
is a spud, which is a thin chisel on
the end of a fork handle. With this
the thistle may be cut a few inches be.

ing the season will usually destroy

MONTANA WINS FAIR PRIZES

MONTANA WINS FAIR PRIZES
When it comes to taking the medals
Montana is the productive star in the
agricultural irmament-and then
some. Besides winning medals OF
honor in world competition at the San
Francisco exposition, Montana wheat
and grass and forage crops cleaned
up about all the gold, silver and
bronze medals in sight. Wheat, and
varieties, won the LAG medals, and
grass al, the latter also receiving 81
honorable mentions.
This is the word sent to the depart
ment of agriculture and publicity by
F. A. H~azelbaker, secretary of the
Montana exposition commission.
Secretary Hazelbaker says he be-
lieves Montana will win several ad-
ditional medals during the remainder
of the exposition. He has not yet
been furnished with a complete list
Of individual awards, but he is of
the opinion that every county and
section of Montana from which ex-
were obtained shares in the
awards.
It is Mr.. Hazelbaker's belief that
Montana can win the grand prize on
apples If the growers of the state
will show sufficient interest to send
in samples of their best varieties.
That, however, will come later when
the crop is ready for shipment.
A list of awards which accompan-
les the letter is enough to cause any
Montanan to feel proud of his state.
1t appears as if nearly every grain
or grass or vegetable exhibit sent
from this state received either a
medal or honorable mention.
An IDEA of the medal winning pow
err of the Montana exhibit is shown in
the following report by Secretary Ha-
zelbaker:
General agricultural products-One
medal of honor, one gold medal, n
medal.
' Exhibit of grains-One medal OF
two gold medals, four silver
MEDALS four honorable mention.
Exhiftit of grains and grasses-Two
medals IF honor, three gold medals,
three silver medals.

Wheat, all varieties-One medal of
10 gold medals, SO silver med
ais, 50 brorze medals, six honorable
mention.
Oats, all varieties.-One medal of
honor, seven gold medals, AZ silver

Barley, all varieties-One medal of
honor, seven gold medals, 81 silver
medals, 10 bronze medals.

Reclaiming Alkali Soil
With Sweet Glover

Much interest in problem
which will mean the reclamation
Of great deal of land in different
parts of the state, is being taken
in Grana Forks, where experi-
ments are being made in the matter
|of utilizing alkali lands. As a
means of using such lands. the
growing of sweet clover is being
tested near Larimore.
Sweet clover has been grown
there as a field crop for about
three years and has proved adapt
able to sandy and alkali soil.yx In
seeding it is found, that aftersfork
has become accustomed to Oit, it is
well rellshed. On the Crystal
Springs Stock Farm, it has been
pastured, fed rs hay, fed as silage,
and in all forms. There has been
no trouble in getting stock to con-
,ume large quantities.
The production of seed has been
found to be very profitable. as it
sells for about twenty, five cents
per pound. The demand comes
principally from the east, where II
is grown on lands that are so worn
out that it is difficult to grow any
thing but sweet clover.
Some of the advantages ofssweet
clover are: Rich in protein like
alfalfa; furnishes early spring pass;
ture: great soil enriching crop:
good green manure crop; seeds
freely; will grow where clover and
alfalfa fail, on low, wet, alkali and
acid soils, especially on light and
sandy soils.
Some Of the disadvantages are:
If allowed to grow too large stems
become hard and bitter and leaves
fall off. Not relished BY stock as
a rule until they become accustom-
ed to it.
The successful use of alkali land
means much added value toasaany
sections Of our state. The Sioux
County Pioneer.

Second Best. :

That a goose can be danger
|ous animal' under certain condi-
tions is the opinion Of Ed. Cordell
of Camp Crook, who is minus the
end Of his nose. He had secured
q goose for q feast and placed it
under tub until he was ready to
do the be-heading. When the time
came for the slaughter, Cordell
attempted to reach under the tub
to get a good hold Of the feet of
bis bird, but BY keeping up the
latest waltzsteps the goose manag-
ed to keep his feet somewhere else
every time. Cordell then got his
face down to the crack he had
opened under the tub, to see where
to make good grab, when the
goose saw and grabbed first, taking
the most prominent feature Of
Cordell's face for his point Of
seizure and carried off the point Of
his nose as trophy.
Last Thursday Senator Works
of CaliforLla introduced bill in.
congress providing for an army Of
reclaiming men, to reclaim the
deserts and arid tracts of the west
ern states. He declared that such
u force modified for work oi
reclamation could also be utilized
to meet attacks should it become
necessary.

State Rights VS..
A HOmeSteaderS.

That the rights of homestead
claimant do not take precedence
over prior filing right of the
state, is the holding of the general
land department on the homestead
application of Johan A. Johnson,
Of Perkins county. This is really
test case as to the rights OF the
state and the homesteader. The
state has taken a large area of land
lin the northwest part of the state
as indemnity for sections sixteen
and thirty-six on the Indian reser-
vations, which have been taken as
Indian allotments. The settlers
and authorities of these northwest
counties do not like the idea Of the
state holding tracts not subject to
taxation, and a belief has apparant-
| ~ grown up in that part of the
state, that If homesteader cared
to exercise his right upon a tract
already filed upon by the state,
that his rights would be held to be
superior to those of the state, and
that title could be secured. But
the recent ruling by the general
land Office depal tment at Washing
ton, turning down the entry of
Johnson to the tract OF state land
on which he sought to make filing,
shows that such idea is erroneous
land nothing can be gained on the
part of the homesteader in attempt-
ing such filings.
As the constitutional minimum
sale price for state lands is ten
dollars an acre, the holdings Of the
state Will hardly bring that price
unless there is further railway
development into the section affect
ed, and there can be no revenues
from these tracts until they have
been transformed, which means
| q great deal to the northwest
counties. especially Harding, and
portions of Perkins and Meade
where the state holdings are large,

I The members of Maricopa lodge,
 No. 43, met last night in closed ses- sion. Closed sessions of the lodge
 mark the attendance of all loyal mem
 bers who attend these meetings for
 the purpose of dispensing with the business of the lodge, discussing ways
 and means for the upbuilding of the
 society and planning new entertain
 ments for our next weeks visitors.
 | An unusual amount of enthusiasm ] prevailed at this meeting. Many of
 the members had some very good sug- 1 Gestions to offer and by the time the
 entertainment committee had made their report, it was found that far ore good times and good things to | eat were accounted for than could i possibly be disposed of in any one night. None of the plans submitted
 would bear discarding SO it was fin ally decided to devote the next two Saturday nights to social affairs only. Visitors are heartily welcome to help
 us do justice to the good times pre- pared for US by our social workers.
 Dancing will be the main feature of next weeks entertainment. Good music and a good floor stamp this part of the program as the popular winner, while the side entertainment promised by the committee, listens good l
 A week from Saturday night, March
 r., big box social will be held. Full arrangements for this event have not been completed at this time. There will be no admission charged at the door and coffee will be served free. All visiting ladies are invited to bring a box. All the boxes will be sold at auction and the bidding prom ises to be very spirited.
 Besides initiating three candidates and passing favorably on several ap- plications for membership, there was incorporated into last nights meeting a surprise party on Brother J. D. Me- Medley. The party represented the ap- preciation of the lodge members for l the brothers loyalty and worthy ef- forts to promote all things that stand for the good of the Society.
