Good roads work Is progressing in
number of states at u rapid rate.
In many parts of the south plans
are being formulated for programs to
be launched within the next few
months that will result in the cXpeu-
ditllre oC millions OF dollars and give
employment to thousands Of men.
Those states which have yet to draft
final road bills have committees at
work now so that the bills may be
introduced at the next meeting OF the
respective legislatures. Trunk line sys-
TENS connecting all the counties of the
separate states and providing for at
least one main road norch and south
and another east and west are in
cludod in practically all of the pro-
grams. State convicts will be used
In several OF the states. The roads
are being financed through county,
state and federal aid. and through
direct taxes.

Libraries Discouraged

Sunday newspapers are said to have
been started between 1880 and 1885.
Circulating libraries were first set up
in London In 1850, and in Birmingham
in 1851. They increased so rapidly
that some wise man proposed to tax
them.

MOON SIGNS TABOOED.

Cutting alfalfa hay too early is a
serious mistake. Experienced grow
ers have tendency to cut the crop
before it is ripe in order to give
each succeeding crop more time to
grow and get as many cuttings as
possible in a season. Advancing the
harvesting date a few days may kill
the alfalfa. Early cutting often
checks the growth severely, the
plants turn yellow, and the weeds
and grass grow so rapidly the alfalfa
is likely to be smothered.
Harvesting alfalfa according to the
signs in the moon, an old supersti-
ton most modern farmers haze aban-
doned, has killed many acres of al.
falfa. Alfalfa has been grown long
enough as hay crop for old timers
to have learned that the signs of the
moon and the stage of the bloom are
not good guides to follow.
Neither should alfalfa be allowed
to go too long. There is no exact
date when the cutting should be
made. A cutting should be made
when the small shoots begin to ap
pear at the base of the stem. When
the blossoms appear it is time to
watch for the sprouts, the growth
for the second crop About one-fiftE
of the plants will be in bloom wher
the shoot spring up. The crop Their
usually is ready to cut.
The appearance of the shoots
marks the time when the first growth
has about matured. The cutting
should be done before the youne
shoots are high enough to be clipped
off by the mower. When the sprout.
or shoots are all at least an incl
high and the tallest ones are not. higl
enough to be interfered with by tn,
cutter bar is the ideal time for cut
ting if the weather is favorable.

soon as the plants have become well
the weak ones should be
pulled out, leaving the strong and
healthy plants plenty of room to der
velop. Trims before the plants be-
come crowded. A dozen muskmelon
seeds are usually plants, but it only
takes three or four in a hill to pro-
duce a good crop. Beets usually
come up as thick as they can stand
in the row, but they must be thinned
to stand three inches apart. Some
times it pays to transplant some &C
the plants that are pulled out in the
thinning.
Moisten the soil an hour before
thinning or do the work just after a
rain. Disturbing the roots of the
plants to be left in the row checks
growth and must be avoided. Thinn-
ing is not confined to pulling out the
plants. PincRing back the side shoots
Of early tomato plants is necessary
to give the main stem chance to &c.
velop.

THIN TO GET QUALITY.

Thinning plants in a vegetable
garden is about as important as keep
ing the weeds incheck. Every good
gardener realizes that he must keep
the weeds killed or they use up all
the moisture and plant food around
the plants and stunt the growth of
the vegetables. The same thing hap
pens where thickly seeded rows are
not thinned. The extra plants use up
the plant food and moisture that
would otherwise be utilized in pro-
ducing vegetables of high quality.
Early gardens are ready to thin
by June. This should not be neglect
ed, for the longer the plants are al
lowed to grow the larger they get
and the more moisture and food they
require.
Thick seeding is a necessary rule
to follow to insure good stand, but
it must always be done with the un
derstanding that the plants are to be
thinned later. Thinning is one OF
the most essential yet the hardest
tasks Of the gardener. Outside the
ranks of the professional truck grow.
ers there are few gardeners who thir
their vegetables properly, if at all
After the plants peep through the
ground gardeners are anxious to give
every one of them a chance to grow
but in almost every case it is don,
at great sacrifice of yield and quail
ity and the grower loses in the end.

FEED FOR CALF.

Poor results secured by feeding
Skim milk to calves are often due to
the method of feeding. Too often
young calves are fed on skim milk
alone. A calf taken from diet of
whole milk should be given grain
with skim milk.
In changing from whole milk to
skim milk it is surprising how rap
idly a calf will grow if it is given a
small amount of grain. If the change
is made when the calf is only few
weeks old the grain should be crush
ed. It is always best to grind the
feed when a calf is first started on a
grain ration.
Corn and oats are both excellent
for the purpose. Calves relish ground
corn, and it may be fed alone or in
combination with oats. Bran and a
small amount Of oil meal may be fed
with the combination or with the
ground corn alone.
Feed the milk first and the grain
Immediately after. A small amount
Of grain after each feed of milk
viii be sufficient for the first few
days. 1t is best to feed ground grain
but this is not necessary after the
first month. If the calf refuses tc
eat the ground grain rub some or
its muzzle.
Fifty pounds of ground corn, 81
pounds of whole oats and 10 pound:
Of linseed oil meal make a good grair
mixture for the growing calf. Glow
er or alfalfa hay should be kept be
fore the calf at all times. A mix
ture of clover and timothy hay i,
also good for calves.

EARLY STRAWBERRIES.

Strawberries usually are set out
comparatively early, but the late
spring makes it possible to plant
the ever-bearing varieties even this
late. If everbearing strawberries are
set out within the next few DAYS it
Is reasonable to expect crop of fruit
this fall.
Early planting is the best. The
amount of fruit secured the first
year depends upon the time the
plants are set. Plants set out early
have more time to become establish
ed before the fruit begins to form.
This must be considered in caring
for plants set out late, for the run
ners do not develop readily, and if
they are allowed to fruit early the
plants are weakened.
A good practice is to cut off all
flowers that form on late plants un-
til late July or early August. The
plant food can then be utilized in
the production of strong, vigorous
plants. This makes healthy plant
that will produce a good crop of fruit
in the fall.
After the first of August the flow
ers may be allowed to remain on tn
plants. With proper cultivation an,
watering, fruit will be ready in Ser
TENDER. A good rule, even wit
plants set out early, is to pick off tn
blooms where the plants are not wei
established until after about July ]
If the plants get a good early star
the blooms should be left on.
The ever-bearing strawberry is tn
only kind that will produce frui
the first season. Plants set out earl
will bear fruit throughout the sum
mer. The ever-bearing variety
just as easy to grow as any of tn
common. sort. It will grow in a val
iety of soil. The Progressive val
lety is the most common.
The leading varieties of the eve
bearing require a more fertile so
than ordinary strawberries. The Pre-
gressive and Americans are bot
good sized varieties, though compars

They were gossiping over tea cup,

as anyone knew, happily married.
The subject was husbands, and each

each wanted to know how the other
three kept their husbands dancing In
such close attendance, and it develop

In something less than two weeks
Bozeman votes on the question Of
whether or not we shall change the
form of our city government. 1t is
well to understand this thing from the
very start. No attempt is being made
to force a change on the city of Boze-
man. Those most conversant. with
the financial affairs of the city be-
lieve that with a competent, exper-
fenced manager the city can get out
of its present financial slough. APP

the city needs a head, a man who
can and will give his whole time to
the affairs of the municipality. Those
who have read of the experience of
other towns the size of this, who
know what has been done in Mis-
soula, La Grande, Oregon, anc many
other places, are convinced that the
change is for the best. They will
vote accordingly. The citizens COM

In striking contrast to the lighter
green of the growing oats and wheat,
an ever growing menace to successful
farming, a scourge as dark and the
hut of the plants themselves, the Ca
madam thistle is growing rapidly in
hundreds of valley fields. Some farm
ers are conscientiously fighting them,
with the summerfallow or by seeding
to alfalfa-others let them alone to
multiply and spread. Not content
with being the fields the thistles are
spreading to the roadsidss, and here
at least the county should and could
take CONNIE action. The commissioners
should see to it that not thistle sets
seed along a Gallatin road this sum-
mer. And while all farmers cannot
afford to fight them as they should
be fought, still they owe it to their
neighbors if not to themselves to keep
the thistles from setting seed. Only
by concerted action can this pest be
eradicated, and never can the action
be taken so well as now. There is
a noxious weed law in Montana and
in regards to the thistle, it should be
ENLARGED. Farmers will be careless,
some of them, and it should be the
business of the Farm Bureau and the
commissioners to get after just there
farmers. Why, one farmer we know
went so far this spring as to sell oats
for seed that contained thistle heads
and seeds. Can you beat it. ISM
it about time something was done?

TALKED OUT
"1ILLIAM BOUCK, who

Dbeen suspended as master of the
Washington State Grange, says he
was unaware that any charges had
been brought against him since the an
nual convention in Boston last year.
S. L. Lowell, master of the nat
ional grange was furnished with a
copy of Bouck's recent speech at Col
vile in which he said: ri
"And what was it all for 1.-THE re-
cent wary to bolster up commercial
system. A system of robbery and
pillage, to crush radical ideas, to kill
off part of the leaders of the people
and starve the rest into submission,
and under the guise of lying patriot
ism, to pass syndicalist laws and other
medieval acts to Cypress the toilers.
Lets organize against this ter
ror of capitalism-its tool in fact.
Let's agree to pay no taxes-to lend
no aid-to refuse to serve as soldiers
for our government or any other to
carry on war;"
With this and similar statements in
the hands of the national head what
need was there to file any charges?
Not alone upon this occasion but re-
peatedly has Bouck proved his unfit
ness to head an organization the men,
bership of which includes thousands
of the states best citizens.

$4,000 PIER BRIBE
Shows Amazement That Capt.
Mayer Should Pay to Get
Lease of Wharf.
DOESN'T KNOW LOUGHEED
Only Influence Used, He Says,
Was Put Forth by French
Government.

Murray Hubert, Dock Commissioners
issued statement last night In which
he explained the leasing OF Pier "a
Hudson River. to the France and Canada
Steamship Company in 1918 and ex'
pressed amazement at the testimony oi
Capt. MAYER. president of the company
before the Meyer committee on Wednee'
day. Capt. Mayer testified that his COM
pany had paid s25,ooo to B. w. Loug'
heed, ship broker. for his influence
in getting lease OF the pier.
This is the first time" said Mr.. HUI
bert. that / have heard CT any pay
ment by any one In behalf Of the France
and Canada steamship Line or any one
else to secure this lease. and l am
amazed that any intelligent business
man would make such payment fol
such purpose.
II do not know Lougheed and never
heard of him until his present mention
Nor did know Capt. Mayer until nc
called on me about month ago in con-
nection with leasing a pier. All my
negotiations with the France and Canada
Steamship Corporation for the leasing OF
this pier at the foot of West Thirty
fourth street we're conducted with Mr.
Mcintosh. treasurer OF the company.
Except from the French Government
there was no influence used to obtain this
lease for them nor was there any con-
slderation OF any kind, outside OF the
rental itself. so far as the city or New
York and my own action were concerned
This Pier "A was leased in 1909 to the
Italian line for period of five years
IT a rental of $4,000 for the first year
and 81 600 additional for each succeeding
wear. At the end of this period 1t war
relet for two five year periods at q
rental for the first term of $4,000 pei
year and for the second term at s37. .2i5
a year This second period OF five years
expired April /. 1917, but the Italian line
was permitted 10 hold over until Pie.s
IS and 81 were built and finished foi
their use. 1t was then necessary tC
find a tenant for Pier "a. which The
Ttaliar line had vacated"
MI. Hulbcrt's statement said that On.
der the lease to the France and CanadJ
steam ship Corporation this coripany
pays TO the city of New York $4,000 q
year. which Is twice what the Italian
line paid, and amounts to about az pei
cent. of the estimated cost of the prem
ises. Ths lessee also is obliged to max.
his own repairs and do his own dredg
ing. Mr.. Hubert says that the renta
now received is estimated to be an in
