ORCHARD SITES NEAR WATER
Tendency Is for BIossoming Of Peach
Trees to Be Delayed Until DAN
ger of Frost Is Past.

When an orchard occupies a site
that is adjacent to large body Of
water, the importance of a relatively
high elevation largely disappears. To
be factor in the matter, however, a
body of water must be of sufficient
size and depth to have an appreciable
influence on the local climate. Be-
cause the water warns up in the
spring more slowly than the atmos-
phere, it acts In effect as a refrigera-
tor, making the temperature IN it's
immediate vicinity colder than 1t is at
points somewhat distant from 1t. For
this reason vegetation within the zone
of this influence advances more slow
ly in the spring than 1t does outside of
that zone. The tendency is for the
poisoning of peach trees situated
within the zone to be delayed until
after the season of spring frosts lie
past.

CHANGING COLOR OF CHICKS
No Purebred Black Fowl Is Ever Alb
solutely Black at Birth-color
Changes With Growth.

The novice is often offended be-
cause chicks are not the color which
he expects them to be, but the color
Of plumage, feet and shanks changes
with growth in many varieties No
purebred black chick is ever absolute
ly black at birth. The more brilliant
the adult plumage, the truer this is.
The chick which is Jet black when
Matched is a cross and its color will
change with age. A Langshan chick
is almost white with some gray on its
head and back, but it develops into a
black with an emerald sheen.
Barred Rock chicks are black and
white. Brown Leghorns and other red
varieties in which the cock has a
black breast have a wide brown stripe
in the middle of the back and other
dark bands, which are not so heavy.
The Silver varieties in which the
males have black breasts have similar
design in deep gray, the light stripes
being almost white. Reddish brown
birds are nearly black at birth, and
usually have some tan on the head
and around the eyes.

Fruit for market should be hand.
picked, carefully handled, placed in
halfbushel baskets, or boxes, and
stored in a cool, well-aired cellar un-
til time TO ship. Plums, damsons and
grapes reach the consumer in better
condition when placed in small pack
ages. In sultry weather, fruit will
sweat II put in peck baskets, and
stored in a close room over nights.
Pick before the fruit is fully ripe,
pick when dry-grade--and give full
measure. Have farm trademark
and ship only first quality fruits.
The fruit and, in fact, all farm prod
nee should he shipped so as to arrive
the first Of the week. Much better
prices can be had when the fruit ar
rives Monday evening, or early Tues
day morning.
Sell through a reliable commission
house. The regular commission men
know the market, and can nearly al
ways get full prices for first-class fruit.
Unless you have first-class fruit, do
not ship it; sell 1t in your home mar
ket, or keep it at home, you will save
money by so doing.
There are large quantities of all
kinds of farm products sent to market
which will not pay the producer one
cent, this is not the fault of the COM
mission man, but is usually the fault
Of the grower.
The producer should consult his
agent and get full instructions how &C
ship, when, and what fruit to ship.

drowned his tones, as he stood in

Tuttle's stories of the old times
mention almost every trailblazer
and pioneer the state cherishes.
Woody and Worden at Misoula
were no better known to him than
Lee Mantle, then clicking a tele-
graph KEEP in Pleasant Valley, or
Granville Stewart in Helena. He
married and baptized and buried
in every section of the thinly set
tied territory; and in his travels
he bore common hardship with a
composure and good humor that
won him the love of all.
The first couple the bishop
married was John H. Ming and
Catherine L. Cole, at Nevada, near
Virginia City, Feb. 0, 1867. His
second was the D. w. Tiltons, in
Virginia City and his third, the
w. E. Cullens in Helena. He bap-
tised a score of Montana's first
babies, who, he was wont to say
on return trips to the state, had
best be careful what they said
about their ages, for he had them
all in his book.

friends in pioneer mission days.

dist Bishop, and Tuttle were warm
friends, and several times went
swimming together in the He'll
Gate, near Missoula, on meeting in
that (then) village.
Able men have succeeded Bishop
futile but in the estimation of the
oldtimers, who knew and loved
him, no stronger man ever served
God in this state. He was simple,
kindly, generous and brave; and
the most trying period never found
his composure ruffled or his pa
tience wanting. He devoted a score
of the best years of his life to this
field, at period when money was
free and many were making great
fortunes-and he left it as poor as
he came.

from st. Louis, to the effect
that at the general convention
of the Episcopalian church
next week, the most import

of Bishop D. S. Tuttle, pres

America, to a position similar
to that of the Archbishop of
Canterbury in England.
Bishop Tuttle was Montana's
first Episcopal bishop. OF all the
clergymen who struggled with vice

rejoiced more in the generosity,
courage and simple manliness of
Montana's first settlers, none de-

PAT CARNEY;
POTATO KING
OF MADISON

Pat Carney, who has been
running the democratic politics
of Madison county with one
hand, and raising the finest po-
tatoes in the state, with the 9th
err, and allowing either hand to
know Just what the other was
doing all the time, is the man
who made the Madison county
potato famous.
Every year the Northern Pa
cific railway, through one of its
officials, has offered a prize of
a cake weighing 100 pounds for
the finest potatoes exhibited at
the state fair at Helena.
Carney has won this cake so
often that the Minneapolis chef
who bakes it has gotten into the
habit of writing to Pat every
year in advance, asking him
what shape he would like the
cake baked in, how he wants it
frosted and favored.
He ''took the cake" at the
fair again this year, but declin-
ed to accept the winning. He
wanted some one else to win it.
Repeated triumphs have given
him cake ague, such as the boy
gets when he has eaten too much
of it.
1t was Pats magnificent po-
tatoes which gave the Northern
Pacific the idea of making a
speciality of the great big bak-
ed" in their dining car service,
a feature that has won praise
from millionaires.
Incidentally Pat does other
things than grow potatoes. he
has helped to turn many ordin-
airy politicians into statesmen,
a pursuit that he follows for
pleasure, while he Crews pota-
toes for prcfit.
