There is a great future in store for
Montana through the medium of the
great American hog. At different
times during the PAST few years it has
been shipments of Montana swine
that have sold for record prices in the
stockyards of Chicago, Omaha and
st. Joe, as we'll as at the Pacific coast
packing centers. to which many are
sent. Montana is fast establishing a
home market for hogs, and with this
encouragement the farmers Of the
state are each year devoting more
and more attention to swine breeding
At the Montana State Fair in Helena
last fall there was the greatest dis
play of pure bred swine ever gathered
in the Northwest. The Poland China
Futurity alone was one of the largest
shows of its kind ever held in the
United States. The accompanying
picture shows two of the 1914 prize
winners of the swine pens. There
were 422 hogs shown last fan. A total
of 50, 400 in cash and special premiums
is offered in the swine department OF
the fair this year. 1t will be held
Sept. 20 to 25.

TO COLONIZE LANDS.

There is a fair prospect that the
Great Northern Railway company
will colonize the lands under the
Milk river irrigation project, be-

Nashua.
When these elementals shall have
been acquired, canvassed and ana
lyzed from the standpoint of expert
enced colonizing experts, the basis
is expected to be laid on which con-
templated plans can be decided to
populate the valley with settlers ia
miliar with details of farming in
irrigated regions and knowing how
to handle these lands in 20, 80 and
4O-acre tracts, to very large finan-
cial advantage.

After the Battle Many Of Them
Were Found Dead in the

radeS.

PARIS, July 15.-How French
Chasseurs dashed into the Metzoral
attack singing the Marseillais and
playing drums and swept the Teu-
tons from their Alsatian onghold
amid a tumult of cheers was told
by the eye witness story today The
report told of the capture of 633
men. 90 officers and SO non-com-
missioned officers in big battle re-
markable for its conception and ex-
ecution. In the Chasseurs' mad
dash the base drummer became so
enthusiastic he burst his drum and
ii had to be sent to the rear for re-
pairs, but he kept in the battle, later
capturing German soldier.
One group of the Chasseurs in
particular were given high praise
for their dash into barbed wire en-
tanglements and onward sweep de-
spite the Germans call To surrenl
der. Dashing into the trenches
these Chasseurs engaged the Ger
mans in hand TO hand conflict
but later French comrades found
nearly every member of this gal
liant group dead in the trenches.
