TRAPS MADE
THIS BOY MONEY

A Teton county boy, Henry Shafer,
last year decided to make a little poe
ket money with traps. He had noticed
that there were a lot of various kinds
of ~fur-bearing animals around has
fathers farm, but had never tried to
catch any of them. He made 5000 in
four months and had a lot of valu-
able experience to boot. This is how
he did it:
Henry noticed that some of the
eastern fur buying houses put forth
at no cost booklets giving informa-
ton and advice on trapping. He sent
to every house that he heard of for
these books and soon had quite a
library on the subject which cost him
nothing but a few two-cent stamps.
Then he went to Choteau and bought
some traps.
Equipped with the information he
needed concerning the best time and
the best places to set his traps, he got
busy. He soon learned a lot about the
habits of the wild animals he was aft
err and he found it an interesting
study. He discovered that very
shortly he was the best informed per-
son about animals and trapping in his
neighborhood.
He was successful from the start.
He got plenty Of weasel, skunks,
mink, muskrat and a couple of bob
cats. During the season he also cap
tured a wolf and -four coyotes. He
found the business profitable, for the
eastern fur houses were a ready mar
ket for all he had to offer. At the
end of the season he found that he
had earned 1928. This year he is re-
peating the performance on a bigger
scale. It does not take much time
and does not interfere with his farm
duties.
Any Montana farmer can make
good money with traps during the
winter. The thing that is most i'm
portant is to get as much informa-
tion as possible on the subject before
setting your traps. 1t makes a lot
of difference in results.

There are probably many Montana
growers who could select out several
hundred bushels of the best of their
crop and sell it at a fancy price for
seed purposes without affecting in the
least the present market value of the
remainder of the crop. By so doing
the Montana growers will not only
realize handsomely on the present
crop but will also establish a reputa-
ton for Montana grown seed which is
bound to result in a demand for it in
future years. Montana has ideal eli
matte and soil conditions for produc-
ing northern grown seed potatoes and
once having established a reputation
for this product the demand is sure
to increase. .
Selection of Seed Potatoes.
Potatoes intended for seed should
first Of all be of a standard variety
and not from a mixed crop. If tn
aim is to improve the variety and
yield the selection is generally made
while the potatoes are being graded or
after they are in the bins. Select me-
dunn sized, uniform, shallow eyed tu-
bers which have as nearly as possible
the characteristics of the variety. Tu-
bers to be avoided are those with deep
eyes and pointed seed ends. In most
varieties it is desirable to select tu-
bers with the cluster of eyes found at
the seed end on one side rather than
at the extreme end. Tubers showing
any trace of scab or other disease OF
any mechanical injury should never
be saved for seed purposes.
Storage of Seed Potatoes.
Potato seed cannot be too carefully
handled. In storage there is often
opportunity for it to become infected
with rot producing organisms, which
destroy it either before or after plant
ing. Any bruise or break in the skin
of the potato increases the chance for
contamination. 1t is bad practice to
store seed in old potato sacks or in
dirty and unsanitary storage cellars.
Before storing potatoes the cellar
should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected with white wash or by spray
ing all parts of the cellar with a solu-
ton made up Of one pound of forma-
lin in 80 gallons of water.
The best. temperature for storing is
from 80 degrees to IS degrees, Such
a temperature can be maintained ever
in the fall and spring by ventilatino
during the cooler parts of the day and

ACRE FARM
MAKING MONEY
ToSToN BREEDER TURNS OFF
200 HOGS EVERY YEAR;
FEEDS GARBAGE.
Porkers Average $50 Pounds and Sell
ing Price Has Averaged Six Cents;
Skim Milk and Ground Food Puts
Weight on Swine.

The Riverside ranch, near Toston,
Mont, comprises only six but
the owner is making more money out
of it than some farmers do from a
600-acre property. He is breeding
swine, and is turnin~ off on an aver
age of 200 hogs every year. His pork
ers will average $50 pounds when he
sells them, and the average price he
has received in recent years has been
six cents. His gross return per year
from his little farm, probably the
smallest in Montana, is about $4,000.
The Owners System.
The owner has a system figured out
bv which he can give all those hogs
adequate shelter, feeding and water
ing room, as well as plenty Of elbow
room on which to take all the exercise
they a r for and need on his minia-
ture ranch. He buys cereal feed
for them by the carload, I'M
order to take advantage of
wholesale prices. However, a great
deal of their feed comes in the way
of garbage, which the owner obtains
at Toston. This is cheap food, and
it was the opportunity to obtain it
that got the owner to buy the little
ranch and go into the swine business.
The river side furnishes an ideal loca-
ton for a place Of this kind. The
hogs have plenty Of water and, of
equal Importance, the drainage fecili-
ties are good.
About Fall Feeding.
Fall filters of pigs are not fattened
as economically as others because of
the absence of succulent pasture.
However, alfalfa hay or clover hay,
both of which are rich in muscle and
bone material, will partly replace pas
ture. Many farmers have feed cutters
and grind alfalfa ind clover and then
steam it and mix it with shorts or
ground barley. This feed is greedily
eaten by pigs and shotes, and it will
make splendid gain. An ideal addi-
ton to this ration would be skim
milk. Skim milks will furnish pro-
tein, which is essential for the de-
velopment of muscle and bone. Eighty
per cent of ground corn or barley
with 20 per cent of skim milk will
produce pork quite generally satisfac-
torily.

closing the cellar during the warm
hours. In this low temperature Or
ganisms which cause decay develop
very slowly and the tubers are kept
in a dormant condition. In common
storage, potato seed too often sprouts
before the planting season. 1t has
been estimated that in the develop
ment of a good growth of sprouts a
potato may expend one-half its stored
energy. These sprouts which develop
in the cellar are long and spindling
and are, of course, knocked off in
the process of planting: New sprouts
must be developed and such seed Can
not be expected to give results COM
parable with those obtained from
good, vigorous seed. In potato grow
ing a prompt, vigorous termination is
essential to success and it will pay
well to properly store the seed.
If a good storage cellar is rot
available the seed may be stored in
pits or piles. The most common prac-
tice is to spread straw upon the
ground and build up on this a cone
shaped pile six or sever feet across
the bottom and as high as possible.
Straw is then spread over the pile to
a depth of six inches and dirt is
thrown upon this. A ventilation
should be placed in the top of each
pile. It is we'll to level the dirt off
the top of each pile for two or three
weeks to allow the potatoes to cure.
AS cold weather comes on more dirt
or manure is added to protect the tn.
bers from freezing.

l%RRICATIONISTS MUST
WATCH The OVERFLOW

The overflow Of waters from irri-
eating bitches onto the highways is a
nuisance which should be looked after.
The following provisions from the re-
vised statutes of Montana of 1907,
section 1886, should be read by prop
erty owners who are careless in this
respect:
cit is a misdemeanor for any per-
son owning a ditch or flume to allow
the water therein to overrun the side
and run into a public highway"

a Dawson County Yield.

Glen D. Englebright of Union, Daw-

wheat which went GA bushels to the

ord crop of the new wheat country
which stretches from Grassrange on
the west to Sidney on the east.
This new section is off the railroad,
and the Great Northern is building q
line through it. When this branch is
completed, in the course Of a few
years, it will become one of the ban
ner wheat-growing districts Of tn

Money Making Opportunity
for Montana Potato Grower
Save Out the Best of the Crop for Seed; Will Sell
at Fancy Prices in Spring; Potato Crop Is
a Failure in the Middle West

AS a result of the failure of the potato crop in many sections of the
middle west, Montana is being overrun with potato buyers The government
estimate of the Montana crop for 1916 is 5433,0OO bushels IS compared with
6O45OO0 bushels for last year. Even though the Montana crp is nearly IS
large IS usual the demand for it by eastern buyers is so keen that in many of
the country stores potatoes ire today selling at $250 and 1915 a hundred,
the highest price in years. With a dozen buyers begging for his entire crop
at a fancy price the grower is greatly tempted to sell. Before doing so.
however, he would do well to consider the probability of unusually high
prices for Montana grown seed potatoes next spring and he should nv
all means save at least enough for his own planting.
The potato seems to lose it's vitality when grown year after year in those
sections where the summers are long and hot and there is always a big
demand in such sections for northern grown seed. Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan are large producers of seed potatoes and as these states are this
year harvesting less than half a crop and me which is of little value for
seed purposes it appears that Montana grown seed potatoes will bring big
money next spring.

Noted Belgian Sculptor
From .'The Field of Art" by Brand WI


 lock, in the February Scribner
 In a corner of the atelier of Godefroid Devreese, at Brussels, is a group of fig ures that, in certain aspects is perhaps the most significant of the Belgian sculp- tors work. The statement is to be sure hesitant, and hedged about by many sav- ing qualifications since it is by no means the most important work that has come from the artists hands, nor does it repre- sent him in the plentitude of his powers But, the question of it's intrinsic interest and artistic value wholly apart, it is sig nificant as showing the point from which the sculptor set out on his long and hon orable career. For it is youth, it is joy, it is-Flanders The mass is formed by a huge tun surmounted by a Flemish piper. and at his feet, round and round circle the peasants to whom he is piping the 'Boerendans." It depicts a living scene that has characterized the Flemish kermesse for centuries, and it shows, with Flemish abandon, that life the Flem- ish folk have so unrestrainedly lived down through the centuries. It is, in many of it's moods, life of free, whole hearted gayety, impossible to any other northern race; it is as objective if not as graceful as that of the Greeks, and as joyous, though doubtless not so un- interruptedly joyous, as we like to think that of the French of the Italians. It is. to be sure, joy wholly material. the joy of eating. of drinking, of mad and fid- ding frolic. the life that Jordaens and Steen and Teniers had such evident gusto in reproducing. The "Boerendans" of MT Devreese is of their genre, and he is. or was before he became wholly and origin ally himself, of their line, in direct de- scent.

 Matthew M. Looram, a retired turfman and broker, whose country home at Day. enport had been robbed, hurried with his wife to New Rochelle and said the jew elry was theirs. The prisoner was George ShaSoian, an Armenian a servant in their house several years ago. Shakoian would have escaped detection at the station if he had not darted his hand frequently to the bulging pocket of his coat. That action made McGowan suspicious.
