e. G. Lincoln, Who Rolled Off Top
of Coal Car Eight Years Ago, Now
Has 700 Acres of Finest Land In
u. s. A. and Achieves Fame by
Writing of How He Struck 1t Rich.

In contest in the American Maya
zine for an article on "Why Like My
Own Part of the Country" the third
prize was won by e. G. Lincoln OF
Montana. His article, entitled, "The
Land of Shining Mountains" is as
follows:
Montana, The Land of Shining
Mountains!
"Eight years ago the tenth of Aug
ust, I rolled off the top of coal car
right into the middle of more coun-
try than I had imagined existed. 1t
was Montana, and it looked good to
me. My total assets that day were
$14, a decidedly sketchy suit OF
clothes, and very real feeling OF
disgust for the city in which I had
spent 26 years of my life. Montana
has treated me better than I deserve.
Tidy Sum of War Chest.
"See the log house up at the head
of that coulee? It's mine. Wouldn't
stack up very big beside some OF
those city places you see in the Sun
day papers, but it has four rooms and
a real bath. Around the house lie
seven hundred acres of the finest
ranch land in the U. S. A. We had
three hundred acres planted to winter
wheat this year. 1t threshed twenty
five bushels an acre-with wheat at
$1.35 bushel. That lifted the last
of the mortgage and left tidy sum
for the war chest.
"Waking up on fall morning in
our country is just as near going to
heaven as any earthly experience can
be. You go to the back door to look
at the weather. Your chest swells an
extra two inches to take in every
possible atom of the spruce-tanged,
champagne air. Your muscles tight
en- to the sense that you were born
for great endeavor-daring deeds
and marvellous accomplishments. God
comes down from the mountain TOP
to shake hand with you, and you
laugh together at the rising sun.
Neighbors Eager to Aid.
"Our nearest neighbor is two miles
away. When our outfit burned tc
the ground five years ago, he took US
in for six months. 1t nearly brought
on neighborhood row, for all the
other neighbors wanted us, too.

Potatoes for the Poor.

The people of Red Lodge made a
most unique contribution to charity
recently. Every man, woman and
child who attended church on GER
tain Sunday took with him to the
pastor single potato, to be given to
poor families. AS Red Lodge Is a
church-going community, and there
are a number of churches in that
thriving town, the contribution was
considerable. Tom Pollard of the
Pollard hotel has the distinction OF
having carried the largest tuber to
church.

CAMPAIGN
AGAINST GOPHERS TO BE
WAGED COMING SPRING.

A campaign OF determination
against gophers, prairie dogs and
ground squirrels is to be undertaken
in the spring by the county agricul-
turalists with the cooperation of the
farmers. G. H. Yerrington, the new
ly appointed Custer county agent,
who for several years has been con-
nected with the government biologi-
cal survey, has been advising state
and other county officials regarding
the methods to be adopted.
Oats soaked in a strychnine solu-
tion will be placed near the holes of
the animals. incubation with des-
tructive disease germs has not been
successful, but has created source
of danger in the possibility of the
transfer of disease to other animals
or even to humans.
The destructive qualities of the
mammals is shown economically by
the federal estimate to the effect
that 80 prairie dogs consume as
much grass as sheep, and 200 pral-
rie dogs as much as COW. These
figures were compiled in Colorado
but apply in Montana.
In North Dakota in 1910 the loss
from mammals was estimated at
$4,000, 900 and in 1914 at 81 900, 900.
In Montana there are some districts
in the Grow Indian reservation and
the Custer forest that are almost use
less because of the prevalence of the
prairie dogs.
The Richardson ground squirrel is
prevalent in northern Montana east
of the continental divide and in the
eastern counties of the state. The
Columbian ground squirrel is more
prevalent in the western slope but
is found on most slopes of the state
that are heavily wooded or foraged.
The prairie dogs are found mostly
east of the continental divide and are
numerous in southeastern Montana.

HEATING MACHINERY.
Installing Modern Heating System on
the Farm.

the Farm.
This is the time for improving and
making the farm home modern, The
question which is probably of more
consideration in this connection is,
what kind of heating system shall be
installed?
II. H. Hoy of South Dakota State
College engineering department sug-
gests that The interior arrangement
of the house should influence a choice
among hot water, steam, hot air and
yapor systems. He says:
"One Of the advantages Of the hot
air system is hat its effectiveness
depends on thorough and complete
air circulation. This almost always
means good ventilation; something
not so easily accomplished in con
nection with any of the other systems
during the extreme cold of the win
ter, A chief advantage of the hot air
system is the quickness with which
the rooms may be warmed. A few
minutes after the fire is started the
heat is in circulation, One of the OBJ
jections to the hot air system is the
dust carried by the free circulation
of the air, another is that the tenn
perature falls rapidly as the fire be-
comes low, Another disadvantage is
the fact that it is often difficult to
heat the house evenly. Strong winds
interfere with the flow Of air along
the ducts in the direction from which
the wind is blowing.
Hot water in extreme climates has
some advantages over hot air While
there is q considerable quantity Of
water in the system to be heated,
making the heat slower, when once it
is heated it maintains its temperature
for a much longer period OF time
giving a much more uniform heat. 1t
is also true that, although there is a
large volume of water TO be heated.
circulation begins promptly as soon as
the temperature begins to rise.
Steam has some advantages not
found in the hot water. 1t is some
what quicker than water and requires
less radiator surface TO heat a given
space. Heat is radiated at a higher
temperature than is the case with hot
water which often results in over
heating and is somewhat disastrous
TO furniture.
"vapor heat combines the advan.
tages of hot water and steam and
eliminates some of their disadyan.
tages. There is practically no differ.
ence in the cost of installing hot wa.
ter, steam, or vapor heat. The cost
of hot air is usually somewhat less
