The product of nine always
comes TO. nine. Multiply by any
figure you like and the sum Of the
digits will invariably add up nine
Thus twice 8 is IS; add the digits
together and l and makes 8.
Three times is 81. add the digits
together and 2 and makes 8.
Five times 8 is As; add the digits
together and and makes 9.
Take another example. Nine times
456 is 4,104. Add 4, !, 0, and
you have 9. Nine times SOIL is
$3.50. The sum of these digits
is q. Well, 2 and 7 make 9.
Now try some examples yourself
and see if the rule of nine always
works out.

The Juniors are put out in
such a handy form that you can
easily keep them. Lay them
aside carefully after you have
read them. In a year from now
you will be glad to take them
out and read them. No one
tires of reading old stories over
and over. At the end of the
year you will have fifty-two is
sues, enough for a good book.

Do You Know
This About 9?

Arithmetic isn't hard. You can
have fun with arithmetic if you
will stop to play with it. Take the
number nine for instance. 1t is
the most obstinate number in
arithmetic. No matter what you
do with number nine, it will always
turn up.
Look at this and see if you do
not have the table running from
0 to 9, and from to 0.

The cost of maintaining the tanks

breed the most would be insignifi-
cant in comparison with the good
accomplished. All this talk how
to swat and kill the fly has its
good points but seems to have nc
practical results for the simple rea

LABOR, >. ~.
On seeing that several persons
have inquired about Montana, /
have considered to send letter
for publication for the benefit of
those who are interested. To
start with, everything has gone
lovely. Crops are splendid and
harvest is in full swing now, altho
flax will not be ripe for sometime
but real early sown fax will be
ready for harvest in about week.
We have 20 acres of flax that can
be cut next week and the remain
ing Is acres later. About twelve
acres are sown to oats for hay.
In all there are about 100 acres
broke, 80 of which we broke with
our horses, Next spring we ex-
pect to seed in over $50 acres in
cluding rented fields. There are
claims of wheat to average 30 bu-
shells per acre but as the country
is new to me I have this as yet to
see but anyhow it is a bumper
crop. In considering this dry
country the rain was plentiful.
The stock is doing fine especially
our horses for the work they have
done and the change of altitude.
The elevation of my farm is 1888
ft. and many places here are high
er. The weather has been quite
hot lately but the last couple of
days have been quite cool. At
present we are busy making hay.
Nearly all of the land is taken up
and what is left is not worth the
appraised value altho a person
could select nice 80 here and
there. A couple of parties have
filed on 40 acres apiece on So land
north of us, l suppose with inten-
tions of ranching, Nashua is boom
ing the same as Fort Peck.
Well water here is good only that
some places it is hard to get. My
we'll is 80 ft. deep while others 60
down to 100 ft. l am glad to say
that our colony is thriving nicely.
A petition is being brought up for
a school in this neighborhood and
a rural mail carrier route is petit
toned for which we expect to get
soon. l will not tell of the hard
ships we encountered in moving
unto the homestead and my cook
experience during the winter un-
less somebody is very inquisitive
to know about it. This coming
fall I have chance to 60 to Milan
Missouri with friend and travel
back to Nashua in his 6 cylinder
auto but I have not decided on
this yet.
