Larson Fathers a
New Game Law
Also a Law to Eliminate
Noxious Weeds in
Montana

Senator T. O. Larson of Teton
county has introduced a bill in
the Senate which proposes a
change in the taxing of costs
of prosecutions for violation of
the game and fish laws of the
state. Under the present law,
where a game warden arrests
an alleged offender and brings
him to trial in one of the justice
of the peace or other courts of
the county, the costs of the case
are charged to the county, but
the fine assessed, if there be
one, all goes into the game fund
of the state.
Senator Larson's bill would
deduct the costs from the fine.
if there be one, which in year
would effect a considerable saw
| ing to the various counties of
the stattcc, particularly in those
sections where there is much
hunting and fishing each year.
1t is not believed that the bill
will meet with any opposition
| in either house, as it is looked
upon as an eminently fair one.
!. Another measure whichis be-
I ing fathered by Senator Larson,
and which he is doing every
g thing If his power to secure the
passaee of, is that relating to
| noxions weeds and providing a
7 plan for their elimination from
Y the grain fields of the state.

or whole tubers. These more delicate
plants required greater care in the
first cultivation, but the difference
was not so apparent later on as the
plants gained in size and vigor, and
by the height Of the growing season
the individual stalks from the one
eye pieces were as large and strong
as the stalks from the larger pieces.
AS the rate of seeding per acre was
increased, depending on the size OF
seed pieces used, in like proportion
was the average number of plants or
stalks per hill increased Increasing
the size of potato seed pieces, there
fore, is equivalent to increasing the
number of grains per hill in seeding
corn; and from extended observation
in the past as well as from expert
ments conducted, the results in either
case may reasonably be expected to
prove similar By increasing the num-
Der of stalks per hill Cup to a certain
limit the total yield may be somewhat
enlarged, but this gain in yield is often
at the expense of the size, develop

GOOD VENTILATION.
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Simplest and Cheapest Way to
Furnish Fresh Air to Fowls
Is to Have Muslin Front.
By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)

Fresh air keeps the house pure and
dry. Nothing will cause disease more
readily than damp house or one
which has foul odor.
There are several ways to supply
ventilation, but the simplest and least
expensive is to have an open or mus
lin covered front. These open fronts
on the houses should be protected in
some way to prevent the rains and
SHOWS from being blown into the in
terror. 1t is a good plan to attach
an awning made of wood or some
other light material, arranged in such
a manner that it can be lowered or
raised.
Muslin will keep out the cold and
rain to a certain extent, but when it
gets wet the cloth loses some of it's
merit as ventilator, as damp muslin
will not permit free passage of air.
By protecting the muslin with an
awning it will not be affected in that
way The muslin should be put on
frame SO that it can be removed on
pleasant day, allowing fresh air to
circulate through the house on such
days.

In response to numerous inquiries
regarding the planting of different
quantities of seed potatoes per acre, a
series of important tests were made in
Ohio to determine what the difference
was, if any. The experiments were
conducted with the utmost care and
interest.
In the first year were used 10, Is
Is and 40 bushels per acre. The seed
pieces were very carefully cut and
accurately weighed in each and every
rate of planting. In the 10 bushels
per acre rows one-eye seed pieces
were used; in the Is bushels per acre,
two eyes; in the rs bushels per acre,
half tubers; and in the 40 bushels per
acre, whole tubers.
1t was interesting to note the differ
ence between the young plants of the
different sections, as they pushed up
through the soil in due time after
planting. The difference in vigor of
plants, for the first week or two, was
decidedly in favor of the whole tubers.
The plants from the one-eye pieces
were at first much more slender than

"You amt never noticed nice lit

"WelI, no, not exactly; that is what
I want you to do for me. l have new

The squire, with a hearty laugh,
said: where do I come in?"
Don't laugh, squire. This is seri-
Gus thing. I want you to write her a
letter. Tell her about my being a
poor boy, how I have worked early
and late and saved my money, how l
bought the farm and built the house,
and how I want her to-to-ah--to be
my wife," and here John stopped, the
bushes coloring his honest, tanned
face to the roots of his hair.
So the old squire, who was a past
master in the art Of letter writing,
spent a long time in composing the
letter, while John patiently waited.
Finally it was finished, and the squire
said: Perhaps | had better read 1t to
you, and If it is wrong in any partlcu-
lar you can say so, and | will change
it to suit your ideas"
So he read the letter, and it was a
beautiful statement of Johns life, his
work, his desires, his accomplish
ments about his farm and little cot
tage So realistic was it that long be-
fore its close John was deeply dis
tressed and big tears rolled down his
cheeks.
"How will that do?" asked the
squire as he finished reading.
"Do?" said John. do? It's just

of tears and candor, he blurted out:
