TEXAN AFTER TOUR IS
T0L0CATEIN MONTANA
THINKS EVERY FOOT OF LAND
IN NORTHERN MONTANA
WILL BE TITLED.

0. w. Kerr, a Texan, who has just
completed an automobile tour of the
northern part Of the state, is so de-
lighted with conditions that he is 60
ing back to Texas, where he has a
prosperous business, to close up his af-
fairs so that he may locate in Montana
permanently.
"Every foot Of ground in northern
Montana will be under cultivation
within the next five years." said Mr.
Kerr. "There is not a farmer in the
north country who is not prospering
providing he knows his business. The
news is abroad that there is just one
place for the farmer who is looking
for a home to come, and that place is
Montana. I look for sharp APP
probation in land values in the next
two years, and propose to come here
and take advantage of this apprecia-
tion."

FARM LOAN LAW.
CONSTITUTIONAL
SUPREME COURT DECISION
MAKES 1T POSSIBLE TO
LOAN FUNDS ON FARMS
All Justices Are Agreed That Enough
of Law Is Constitutional to Make
It a "Complete Workable Sta
tute'; Releases Money.

The supreme court of Montana, in
a decision handed down recently,
holds that enough of the initiative
farm loan law, passed In 1914. is con-
stitutional to afford ga complete
workable statute" The decision is of
much interest to farmers all over the
state, as it will make it possible for
them to secure loans from state funds,
at reasonable rate. 1t also means
that several millions Of dollars of
Montana money will compete with
money from mortgage companies,
most of which comes from the east.
Discretion of Commissioners.
The details of the operation of this
statute, the rate of interest, the pc
Rod of time for which loans shall be
made, the limitation as to assessed
valuation-al of these are left to the
wisdom and discretion of the state
board of land commissioners, 81 for the
purpose of the law as declared in the
title and body Of the act, is to secure
the continuous, safe investment of
these public funds" says the opinion.
"TO the wisdom and integrity OF lhe
board are confided all matters of de-
tail essential to the execution of the
trust in conformity with the spirit OF
the act. -
Opinion by Holloway
Associate Justice William L. Hollo-
way wrote the decision and Associate
Justice Sidney Sanner and Chief JUS
tice Theodore Brantly concur, the lat
ter stating: "While I did not hear the
argument in this case, I have exam
ined carefully the provisions of the
statute and the sections of the con-
stitution by which its validity must
be determined. I am satisfied that
Mr.. Justice Holloway has stated the
only conclusion permissible and
therefore concur therein. -

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK NEWS
Hog Butchering on the Farm

With the approach of real winter
weather the farmer generally begins
to prepare for his winter meat supply
by butchering hog or two. Careless
ness and lack of knowledge as to the
proper methods of butchering often
result in greatly impairing the quality
of the meat and much more labor eX-
pended than is usually necessary.
In the first place every farmer who
ever has occasion to butcher hog
should own a simple yet complete set
Of butchering tools. This should con-
sist of two butcher knives, two bell -
or candlestick scrapers, a meat saw,
and a sharpening steel.
Preparing Hogs for Slaughter.
A "a to Sc hour fast, plenty of wa
ter, careful handling, and rest before
slaughter are all important in secur-
ing meat in the best condition for
use, either fresh or for curing pur-
poses. Food in the stomach decom-
poses very rapidly after slaughter,
and where the dressing is slow the
gases generated often effect the fla
vor of the meat. Water should be
given freely up to the time Of slaugh-
ter, as it keeps the temperature nor
NAL.
1t is highly important that the ami
mails be not excited in any way suffi-
GENTLY to raise the temperature OF
the body. If the animal becomes
heated, it is better to allow it to rest
overnight before killing than to risk
spelling the meat. 1t is also essen
tial that the hog be carefully handled
so as not to bruise its body.
Points on Killing.
1t is customary on the farm to stun
hogs before sticking them, although
in some localities this is not done. An
other method is by shooting the hog
through the head with a rifle. After
stunning by heavy blow on the cen
ter of the forehead Immediately above
the eyes with an axe, the knife, is In
serted into the hogs throat in the rn-
der portion Of the neck, to a point
just in front Of the chest cavity. The
knife is given a twist and sideward
motion to sever the blood vessels anc
allow the blood to flow. BY laying

PEA GROWING IS
COMING INDUSTRY
BITTER ROOT FARMERS FIND
CULTURE PROFITABLE:
SOIL ENRICHED.
Interesting Test Of Soil Improvement
by Bozeman Agricultural College:
Bailey and Dorr, Florence Farmers
Growing Peas.

The Bitter Root farmers are devot-
ing considerable attention to growing
peas. They make very profitable
crop, yielding from 20 to Is bushels
to the acre, the product selling at
from So to $3.50 per hushel. And
aside from the profit peas will do
more towards increasing the fertility
of the soil than any other crop. The
plant absorbs nitrogen from the ali,
and deposits this precious substance
through it's roots in the soil.
A Bozeman Experiment.
AT the Bozeman agricultural college
an experiment was made in which sew
eral separate acres were sown to
various crops which are reputed to
give fertility to the soil. Another
acre was summer fallowed. The fol-
lowing year all these acres were sown
to oats, and in the fall each acre was
cut separately. The acre which had
been planted in peas produced by sew
eral bushels more than any one of
the other acres. Soil conditions were
identical throughout the experiment.
Take Many Prizes.
Bailey & Dorr, who farm extensive
ly near Florence, have specialized in
pea culture and have achieved verv
satisfactory results. Their exhibits
of peas have swept the boards at many
fairs. They took first prize at the
state fairs of 1914 and 1915, but did
not exhibit this year. They have also
won at every fair they have had ex-
hibits at in western Montana. They
also took first prize at the annual ex-
hibition of the Montana Seedgrowers
association.

WHEN MONTANA WILL
PACK HER OWN MEAT
STOCK FODDER MAKES MORE
MONEY IN LESS TIME
THAN CATTLEMEN

Tom Arthur, Billings booster, is Of
the opinion that within a few years
no more beef steers or fat hogs will
be shipped out Of Montana. Home
grown meats will be fattened in the
state and packed in Montana packing
plants.
He said:
"Montana grows a big rangy beef
steer. 1t requires t. rec or four years
for the steer to arrive at a marketable
age. Then it is shipped east, at a
freight cost averaging about 60 cents
per hpndred pounds, and is sold to
some feeder in Illinois or Iowa, who
makes as much money in three months
in fattening the Montana steer and
getting it ready for the market as the
Montana grower in bringing the steer
up to maturity.
"The steer is passed on to the pack
er, who makes more money than the
man who fattened it.
"All over the state it is being dem
onstrated that corn will grow and
ripen. Alfalfa grows prolifically
everywhere. In the southeastern part
of the state corn and alfalfa are
splendid crops. When Montana farm
ers get into the business of buying
the big framed beef steer and putting
the fat on it's back which means quick
profit, they will be making money
Feeders in the east are getting rich
out of the process. 1t does not cost
as much to grow corn or alfalfa in
Montana as it does in the states where
farmers specialize in feeding stock
"When the Montana farmer goes
into the business of feeding cattle fol
the market the packing plants will be
constructed to take care of the SUP
ply. Then the money which goes tt
the eastern feeder and packer will b.
kept at home. 1t amounts to man,
millions of dollars annually"

rule In Missouri.

The extravaganza of the present ad.
ministration vas so pronounced that
even the Democratic state treasurer
felt duty bound to call public atten.
ton to the fact and in his annual
report dated June /, 1915, presented q
table comparing the expenditures in
the different departments for the BIZ
ennlal period Of 1911 and 1912. under
Republican administration, with the
biennial period of 1913 and 1914, IN
der Democratic administration.
In this report he shows that the

maintenance of the governors man
sion. spent during 1911 and 1912.

there was spent %34S.1s2.51, this being
an increase Of ,S7.49S.3S under Demo-

The secretary Of state spent In
1911 and 1912. $50. 1896, while in 1919
and 1914 there was expended $685.
1921, an increase under Democratic
years of ~S6,297:5S. The fees received

1912 amounted to $323, 312. 80, while
in 1912 and 1914 the fees. amounted
to $262. 297.02 While the expense Of

ing 1913 and 1914 there vas expended

during Democratic years. This office
received in 1911 and 1912, $1O.4l4.18
