electric lights, and it is said that the
mill has not stopped night or day
since the first sack of flour was pro-
duced. Not only did it save much
livestock, but it doubtless prevented
much human suffering. Many of it's
customers are located more than 100
miles from the railroad. Such an
unprecedented siege of bad weather
and impossible roads have depleted
the merchants stock, although the
amount of goods accumulated at the
railroad for this community mounts
up into the hundred thousands
pounds-none of it could be moved
and the community became depend
ent upon it's own resources. The lit
tie mill responded to the emergency
and provided an ample supply Of
foodstuffs.
Are Good Money Makers.
Similar conditions existed in many
other communities, and many letters
have been received from enthusiastic
owners of these mills, who have been
able to contribute to the comfort and
prosperity of their neighbors.
The fact that they have proven
good money makers for their owners
does not make their service to the
community any less real.
H. L. Raiff head of the Northwest
ern Mill Construction company of
Billings, states that his company has
built some 80 plants within the past
year and a half, and in these times
when rumors of food shortages are
heard on every hand, it is source of
considerable satisfaction to any COM
munity to know that it is made more
dependent by being able to produce
it's own main staff of life. Perhaps
it was with sense of this situation
that one of the mills has christened
its product, "Home Supporting

got it from the craw of the grey
goose. The simple truth sometimes
outfancies fiction. Certainly the
wheat is there and the farmers are
very much excited over it. This spring
they paid LaRoche SO a bushel for
all he would spare them. Universe
ties to which have been submitted
samples are very much interested in
it. The wheat expert of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota pronounced it akin
to Polish wheat. 1t runs high in
protean, but is too soft, as yet, for
flour. Experts are of the opinion
that it is possible to develop it into
a hard wheat. If this development
should occur it would revolutionize
the wheat industry, as it yields up
wards of IS bushels to the acre. Even
now it is one of the greatest of stock
foods grown, a boon to the farmer

goose of Lesser Slave lake.

sweetheart, willing to kill that he
might live. In times of slaughter the
dark red blood corpusules that came
from his gentle Indian mother DOM
mated the strain he had received
through his French father. His belt
was about to be let out a notch and
the world was a good place in which
to live.
Fillipe dressed the goose. In the
craw he found several queer looking
grain berries, like the wheat of the
white man, only much larger. They
were almost as large as kernel of
corn. Fillipe decided that he would
save the grains and give them to his
friend. Joe LaRoche, the foolish
white one who toiled in the fields
and grew things that were good for
food when the cold weather came. II
they grew the white man might be
willing to give Fillipe some bread of
their making. Then, too, it was just
as we'll to cultivate the white man,
who sometimes fed one.
So Philippe took his several pre-
cious grains to LaRocne, the white
man, and told him how he came by
them. The white men studied them
carefully, and said when spring time
came he would plant the grains in his
garden.
This he did. In few days dozvn
tiny green shoots thrust their way up
through the soft SOIL These shoots
grey into tall majestic stalks, grow
ing taller with every hot day of the
season. LaRoche, the white man,
tended them carefully. Fillipe, the
Breed, watched them as a parent
watches a growing babe. The stalks
developed large heads of wheat. Late
in August they began to turn a beau
tiful golden color. Finally one day
the white man decided that the grain
was ripe, and there was a harvest.
Plump, fat grain berries they were,
beautifully colored, and fully five
times the size of ordinary wheat. The
three seeds planted had yielded about
200 giant wheat berries.
The white man was elated. He
gave harvest feast, with Fillipe as
an invited guest, and the man who
killed the grey goose which had
brought the grain seed from far away
Lesser Slave lake, with his belly
round with heartening food, decided
that he had done we'll when he gave
the grain to the white man.
The white man cherished his giant
seed. He saved every grain of it and
planted it carefully again the next
spring. He harvested enough to give
him seed for an acre and a half of
land. Last fall he threshed out over
100 bushels of the giant wheat.
That is the story they tell in Plen-
tywood Of the coming of this new spe-
cies of wheat to Sheridan county. If
it did not come in this strange way,
no one knows how it came. LaRoche,
an honest farmer, swears that Fillipe
brought it to him. Fillipe, breed,
without imagination, swears that he
