REQUIREMENTS OF THE IDEAL
TRACTOR, FARMERS FRIEND

The farmers best friend, as far as
tractors are concerned, undoubtedly
will prove to be machine of medium
size, simply yet strongly constructed,
and actually replacing six to eight
good horses. This is the contention
of students of power farming and
tractor authorities.
The ideal average tractor" must
pull two 14-inch p1ows in ordinary
soil, or two twelves in deep blowing,
he contends.
Dustproof gears are an absolute
necessity, especially when the trac-
tor is used for threshing, or in sandy
soils.
One of the most remarkable per-.
formaDces of tractors is In harvest
ing rice in California. Equipped
with self-cleaning wheels, the wheel
type tractor will work In places
where horses cannot find footing.
A Sacramento rice farmer used a
medium-size wheel tractor, attached
to a rice binder, and later used the
same machine as a stationary power
plant to operate a 22-inch separator
for threshing.
1.-THE mere fact that / was able to-
use the one power unit for both these
important operations" said this
farmer, made my tractor twice as
efficient as horses, even were it not
for its greater speed and power, az
well as good traction"

1t is permissible to talk about ones
neighbors when something good may
be said about them. In our neigh
tie land and every woman has an out
door hobby. Mrs. S. is absorbed in
Plymouth Rocks. Mrs. D. is a swine
breeding enthusiast; Mrs. A. devotes
her time to rabbits, while the women
down on the flat" take pride in
their mich goats. I prefer collies
and canaries, but this story is about
still another neighbor, one who just
moved into the place next door.
While wondering whether the new
arrival would take as much pride
and pleasure in the beautiful little
orchard of mixed varieties as had her
predecessor, I noticed that she was
setting some stands of bees among
the trees. l had never liked bees
and hoped heartily that those would
stay on their own side of the fence.
1 wished the new woman might have
some outdoor hobby like the rest of
us and hoped that the man who
managed the bees had them well
trained.

In due time / called on my new
neighbors and was very much sur

cared for the bees themselves, and,

and highly developed as

Being almost a stranger, I was
forced to listen politely, but my

What was there about the vicious lit

here ARE THE BEST CROPS
FOR Late SUMMER PLAN TING

Stringless Green pod are good green
podded varieties. Brittle Wax and
Kidney Wax are good yellow podded
sorts.
Green peas are delicious in early
fall. If seeds of early sorts are
planted before midsummer there is a
good chance of getting crop this
season. The best way to plant at
this time is in trenches about five
inches deep. Sow the seeds in the
bottom and cover with two inches of
soil. After the seedlings are few
inches high fill in the trenches grad
ually at each hoeing until the soil is
level This gives the roots chance
to develop in the deeper, cooler soil.
Good SUPPLIES of pot herbs or green's
are greatly appreciated during the au-
tumn months. Most plants used for
this purpose are cool season crops, so
that if the seed is sown about the
first of August the seedlings will be
ready to grow rapidly late in that
month and during September and
October. Spinach is one of the best
crops for this purpose. Victoria and
Savoy are good var
ieties. Be sure the soil is treated to
an application of commercial fertiliz-
er to induce rapid growth.

Success in gardening depends
largely upon keeping the soil busy
throughout the season. After the
first early crops are gathered there
is still time to plant others.
One of the greatest dangers in late
planting is that in dry season there
may not be moisture enough in the
soil to give the crops rapid grow
tn. 1t is desirable in such cases to
water the garden so thoroughly from
a hose or pump that the supply of
moisture will be replenished. This
should be done before the seeds are
sown to prevent washing them out
and to get thorough soaking.
The soil should also be spaded and
raked or plowed and narrowed before
A light dressing of COM
fertilizer raked in will hasten
growth.
Bush, string, or snap beans are
among the best food producing gar
den crops. The early varieties will
begin to yield pods for cooking so
days after planting. Consequently,
in any locality where the killing
frosts hold off until even the middle
of September, one can safely plant up
to the midle of July. Bountiful and

PONIES TO CALLOP
AT STATE FAIR
DIRECTORS RECONSIDER EAR
LIER DECISION IN REGARD
TO RACING
Fifteen Head of Runners Are Already
on the Ground Going Through the
Preliminary Training; Hair-Rals-
ing Stunt When Airman Changes
Planes in Mid-air.

Horse racing will be one of the
features at the state fair this year.
In view of the fact that there has
been so much encouragement ane
sentiment favoring horse racing a.
state fair, the board of directors, de-
cided to reconsider their earlier de-
cision in regard to racing, and have
the ponies here for three days, alter
mating with the automobile races.
A purse of $4,000 has been offer
ed, $1,000 day, in purses OF from
$3.50 to $3.50.
Fifteen head of runners are on the
grounds now, going thru a light pre-
season training. George Gooney'
stable is represented. Others are ex-
pected in soon, among them being
Frank Howard of Butte, Slim Allen
of Nebraska and Charles Irwin of
Cheyenne.
A wire has been received that a
carload of runners and relay horses
would arrive here for training IN the
near future. If Charles Irwin brings
UP his string, Montana Will see some
real racing for he has in his stable
the winner of the Tia Juana derby.
Auto polo will be on the bill every
day at the fair. The plane changing
stunt will be done three times, Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday. 1t IS
possible that other aerial stunts Will
be seen as Earl j. Parker, manager
of the United Aerial Booking asso-
citation, with headquarters in Butte,
was here Friday of last week ana
had a conference with Mr.. Ensign IN
regard to booking some exhibition
flyers here during fair week. They
would also carry passengers.
The contract for the plane chang
ing act of the state fair has been
signed, according to word received by
Mr.. Ensign. Ralph A. Hanklnson,
with whom the contract was made to
furnish the plane changing, auto polo
and cars for the races in telegram
received Monday morning said that
Fearless Tinney had been signed up
but that thoro investigation of the
possibilities of changing at this alti-
tude would have to made before the
final details could be completed.
1t is understood that Curtis
"Kanuk" planes are used and that
they stop at 5000 feet. The altitude
here is something over 1000 feet,
but there would be a leeway of some |
thing over 500 feet in which the
stunt could be done without danger.
Publicity matter is coming into to
fair office. One of the posters which
WILL be sent out to banks and big in

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
SQUADS AS sIDELINE

| Many people can keep pigeons
successfully as side issue, although
! 1t requires constant oversight and
careful attention to details. The
greatest difficulties confronting the
successful raising of pigeons seem
to be In getting good breeding stock
and finding a good market for the
product OF small flock, specialists
in the United States department of
agriculture say. Pigeons are a pro-
fitable source of income on general
farms where they may get much of
their feed from the fields.
Good breeding stock is one of the
prime essentials of success in SQUAD
raising. 1t is advisable to buy pig
cons from reliable breeders; if pos
sible, from those who guarantee their
product.
1t is advisable either to buy mated
pigeons which, are from l to years
old or to get young birds 6 to 8 weeks
old and mate them at the proper age.
Pigeons are most valuable as squad
producers when from 2 to years of
age, although many will breed until
they are about 8 years old. The
small varieties mate and breed at 5
TO months, and the larger ones at
8 to 8 months.
SQUADS are fed by the parent birds
until they are marketed, which is
usually at from 1-2 to 1-2 weeks.
They must be sold about this
age, as the period during which they
are ready for market rarely exceeds
one week. SQUADS are in good mar
ket condition when fully feathered
under the wings, which is usually
about the time they begin to leave
their nests, and if not marketed at
that time they soon lose their baby
fat and their flesh begins to get hard. |
In the morning, before the breeders
are fed, pick up the squads to be mar
keted when their crops are empty. |
Leave them in pen for 2 hours to
allow all food to pass out of their
crops.

My Experience With Bees

men aroused my interest in their bees
and here are some of the things they
taught me:
Bees are the only "stock" every
| farmer can keep that forages for it
self and asks of its owner neither
food nor drink. Even in taking its
food from the flower the bee gives
more in value tina nit takes. 1t
leaves behind the grain of pollen that
satisfies the heart of the flower and
causes it to grow into perfect fruit.
The owner of the bee is thrice
blessed. 1t causes his fruit trees to
be heavily laden, supplies his table
with the purest and most delicate
sweet known and furnishes wax valu-
able for many uses. 1t is not too
much to expect each year 100 pounds
of honey, as well as young colony
from each old colony carried through
the winter. In some years and loca-
lions they may produce double that
amount When 1 was told this,
took out my pencil and figured. FL
nally, / must confess, / came to the
conclusion that my neighbors were
very wise, And then felt sorry tn
myself.
What the Bees Did
This year the family orchard of
mixed fruits actually produced 40
per cent more fruit than ever before
and the fruit was of better quality
From the six colonies of bees which
were brought there in the spring
s125 has been received from honey
sold, and there is good supply left
l. .I-
strong young colonies, altogether,
10 now resting in winter
quarters. The high cost of sugar has
no terrors for the owners, for granu-
lated honey almost entirely takes its
place.
My neighbors claim many medici- |
nal virtues for honey. These women |
say that sweet cider sweetened we'll |
with honey will help colds, tonsilitis,
oleurisy and most cases of influenza; |
also that honey and olive oil is an |
excellent remedy for appendicitis /
and almost all forms of stomach |
.rouble. The dark honey, candied, |
IS said to be beneficial in all cases !,
If rheumatism and kidney trouble,
'or it contains a form of sugar more /
easily digested than cane sugar.
At the first cold spell last fall II
suffered an attack of lumbago and
% my great gratitude these neigh
,ors of mine brought over a plaster
made of beeswax, olive oil and all
title turpentine. 1t almost imme-
lately gave me relief and from that
I was determined that
would have colony of bees in my
,wn garden. ow I Just want to tell
very one that there is nothing like
leeping a few bees. They provide
lot only profit but entertainment as
veil, and I hope that some of the
eaders will catch my enthusiasm
md, as I did, get some for them
elves.

HAVE TRAITS
OF CHARACTER

Every automobile has a character
distinctly its own" said Q. S. Kitter,
OF the Border Motor company, local
dealer in Chevrolet cars.
To-day we see many different
makes OF motor cars, all built for
the same general purpose-conven-
lent individual transportation. The
character OF each one must be judged
by the manner IN which It serves this
purpose
1T does not take a trained eye to
do this. OF course. the man who has
a mechanical knowledge OF automo-
bnes can form an accurate opinion
BY inspecting the materials Of which
a car is made, its design and general
construction. He is also the better
judge OF these points in operation
But anyone can estimate the char
acter Of a car by what It actually
Goes. And IN the long run perform
ance Is the best test.
The particular purpose OF the
1nanufacturer in building a car is
justified by the measure In which Il
serves. And time IS the greatest fac
tor In proving the honesty and thor
ouhgness with which he has done his
work.
The reputation a car has won In
years Of service therefore, is the
true indication Of the character that
is built into it. A reputation for
economy, convenience, comfort and
dependability is the highest mark Of
quality in an automobile.
and the cars that are the most
widely known 70 possess these char
acteristics are those which are sold In
the greatest quantities. Their sales
are steadily increasing. And the num-
Der OF such cars in use is another
measure OF their high character"
