MARINE GUARDS
ON ALL TRAINS
SMALL DETACHMENT SENT TO
THIS STATE TO PROTECT
MAIL FROM ROBBERS

United States marines have been
on duty on the mail trains running
through Montana and at some of the
larger postoffices for several days,
and since they have come no mail
robberies have been committed.
A look around some of the larger
postoffices would convince almost
any n that to attempt robbery there
would be to court sudden and violent
death. Not that there are so many
guards on the job, but they look so
business-like. They greet your smil-
ing advances with a stare that wipes
away your smile, and a watchfulness
that makes you wonder what might
happen if they goc the wrong impress
sion. Hence, it seems certain that
who entered with evil design.
The marines are there for a pur-
pose, and if you try to talk to them
you will find them about as talka-
tive as a deaf mute at a funeral.
It's the same at the large railway
stations or with the mail trucks. A
big motor car will tear down the
street. Lettered along it's sides are
the words, Omitted States Mail" A
uniformed driver is at the wheel, and
at either side, standing on the run
ming boards which lead along the
wire cage containing mail sacks, will
be a uniformed marine. And about
the most conspicuous thing about
this marine is his holstered automa-
tic. There's only one thing to do, il
that case: Get out of the way. And,
further, don't try to stop the truck
on n pretext whatsoever, for it is
rumored that the marines pistol is
loaded.
His orders from the government

indicate that. Two of the five para
graphs in these instructions are sui
ficient. The first tells him that his
duty is "to prevent the theft or rob
berry of any United States mails en-
trusted to my protection" Para
graph 5 informs the marine that
when necessary, in order to carry
out these ORDERS" he may make the
most effective use of my weapons,
shooting or otherwise killing or dis
abling any person engaged in the
theft or robbery of the mails entrust
ed to my protection"
''Shoot TO XIII
"ShOot to kill These are the
orders. And they will be carried out.
for a further bulletin from the post
office department, on file at the Spo-
kane office, says:
ITO any postoffice employee or
other person who brings in a mail
robber a reward of not exceeding
$4,000 will be paid. When an often
der is killed in committing the crime
or in otherwise resisting arrest, the
same reward will be paid as if con
viction of the charge had been OBJ
tained."

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
MONTANA MAN is INVENTOR
OF NEW THRESHDMG MACHINE

erly thrash the grain. AT II O'Clock
in the morning, when the weather
has warmed up and the bundles dried
out. it becomes necessary, with the
whole crew working, TO change the
teeth settings. For only an instant
about the same length of time as is
required to stop the motor-a short
turn of a hand lever does the work
and the thrashing goes on, almost
without a pause in feeding the bun
dies.
Three Sizes of Grain.
That much is claimed for the new
thrashing machine in the saving of
time and dollars that can be effected.
Allowance is made in it for three
different sizes of grain, to handle
which the can be set with
two. four or six rows of teeth. After
the thrashing is done, the grain is
as nearly clean as it can be; yet the
separator is held to be an important
factor of this newly invented ma
chine.
Economy of parts in the manufac-
ture of the new machine it is claimed
means a reduction in cost to the
thrasherman in outfitting himself
which can be passed on to the farm
er in a lower cost of thrashing. On
the new machine there are no sleeves,
no side elevator, no shoe or grain
augers, all tailings being handled by
the cleaner. The person who is
familiar with a thrashing machine
can readily appreciate the saving
possible through an elimination of
expensive machinery and parts.
There are two cleaners on the sep
arator, and the construction is such
that there are continuous straw racks
and CHAPTERS in the machine. In the
absence of belts, chains, gears and
other familiar parts, one needs be
told almost that the machine is a
thrasher intended to do the same
work as any other separator but
much more efficiently and economic
ally.
Field Test Successful
The whole outfit, including cyl
inders, concaves, separator and
cleaner, is Mr.. Owens invention, de-
signed and patented by him in con
clusion of II long years of repeated
experiment and trial with attendant
disappointments too numerous to be
recounted. Realization of his hopes
and ambitions, a crystallization of
his dream of many years, Mr.. Owen
believes nov is within sight. The re-
cent field test given the machine was
said to have been more than success
full, and a demand for it is felt to be
in the immediate offing.

1000 WILD DUCKS FREEZE
ON LAKE IN SNOWSTORM

without the use of a gun nearly
1000 wild ducks-by estimate
were caught at Goose lake, near
Antelope, the other day. Not even
was it necessary to sprinkle salt
on their tails. 1T was all made pos
sible by natural phenomena.
1t was this way: The storm
came along while great flocks of
wild fowl were on the water. Snow
and sIeet soon covered them and
froze into al incrustation which
did not permit them the motions
required to fly, run or waddle.
Gunners who didn't understand
took shots at the great flock, but
the shot glanced from the slippery
storm armor.
The entire flock of helpless wild
fowl then was simply picked up.

Already the plan advocated by w
r. Crockett and others to accumulate
artificial glaciers has attracted con.
siderable attention among farmers
in the country north of Red Lodge
and is being accepted as one of the
possible solutions of the serious wa
ter shortage which has menaced the
county during the past.
The latest convert to the plan is
Jacob Kero, one of the substantial
farmers living between Roberts and
Fox, and who, with several of his
neighbors. has been on an exploring
expedition in the Beartooth noun
tains for several weeks in search Of
possible reservoir sites that might
be available for water shortage.
1t was stated by Mr.. Kero that
several sites were tested, but in each
case the country was found so steep
that the cost of constructing dams
high enough to store the necessary
amount of water made the cost pro-
hibitive.
The general steepness of the coun-
try does, however, says Mr.. Kero,
make conditions ideal for the artifi-
clal glacier plan Such as IS BENG
tried out in the western part of the
state. This plan calls for the laying
of a pipe from a source that will al
low water being carried to consider
able height above the canyon floor
and there released in a spray which
will freeze and pile up an immense
amount of ice during the cold months
and furnish an eyer-increaSing sup
ply as the hot summer months adj
vance.
Numerous small creeks and can
yons are available for the accumula-
tion of ice and it is believed that the
scheme might be successfully work
ed out at a small expense. Kero and
his neighbors are now planning on
starting Immediately to construct a
small pipe line and the necessary
equipment for producing an easily
frozen spray in some of the creeks
above Red Lodge, that the plan may
be thoroughly tested and used on a
larger scale at a later date if found
to be successful.

FARMERS OF NORTH MONTANA
ARE OUT TO CONQUER DROUTH

mer following with the clod mulch
system.
1.-THE meetings were devoted to
summer following Investigation and
crop rotations. For five years the
station at Fort Assiniboine has been
carrying on tests in summer fallow-
ing, depth of blowing, and crop rota-
ton, together with the results from
spring and fall blowing, as we'll as
the use of different implements in
summer following. After five years
certain outstanding facts have been
demonstrated, and Mr.. Morgan told
the farmers about the results, il
Illustrating his talk with charts. A
striking fact was that the results
as given by Mr.. Morgan, who carried
on the tests, were almost identical
with the results achieved by those
farmers who had worked out a
system of summer following and crop
rotation which had proved successful.
Can Change Methods
1.-THE motto of the meeting was:
We cannot change the climate, but
we can our Methods and it was this
change of methods which was the
burden of the talks.
"It also developed at the meet
ings, where the farmers told heir
personal experiences as dry land
farmers, that where they had grown
some forage, and all had produced
corn who were successful, and had
a few cows, hogs and poultry, they
had been able to pay the bills despite
drought, cutworms, and grasshop-
pers."

Meetings under the auspices of the
extension department of the agricul-
tural college at Bozeman which have
been in progress since November l in
several of northern Montana coun-
ties have been very we'll attended, ac-
cording to Charles d. Greenfield,
agricultural development agent in
Montana of the Great Northern. The
meetings so far held have been in
Valley, Phillips, Blaine and Hill coun-
ties. Other similar meetings will be
held in other counties in that part
of the state later in the year. Three
and four meetings were held at diff
ferent points in each county.
The principal speakers at the
meetings were George Morgan, super
intendent of the sub-experiment sta
ton at Fort Assiniboine, County
Agent Leader Wilson. J. A. Ogaard
of the experiment station staff, Peter
Peterson, a successful dry land farm
er of Valley county, the county
agents and Mr.. Greenfield.
"What impressed me most at these
meetings." said Mr.. Greenfield yester-
day, twas the interest shown by the
farmers. One would naturally think
after what they have gone through
in the past five years, they would be
ready to quit. But the reverse is the
case. The aggregate attendance at
the 10 meetings was between 1900
and 1900. At Malta there were
about 500~and at the little town of
Clifford, with about 200 inhabitants,
there were 800, at Nashua some 200
and other towns in proportion. At
each place not less than 95 per cent
of those in the audience were real
farmers.

OF more than ordinary interest to
M~ontanans because it is the invention
of a Montana man and OF particular
interest to all Montana because it is
an agricultural state is the lately
patented thrashing machine and
separator that is the brain child OF
Robert H. owen of Butte.
Just as the men and machinery of
one decade fall back in the next, re-
placed by the inventive geniuses and
the improvements hal are their crea-
lions, the Owen-Maginn-Gleason
thrasher will prove its superiority
over the types now in use, those who
have seen it are willing to assert.
Completed recently, the machine was
shipped to Waterloo, Iowa, for trial
and was demonstrated in the pre-
sence of representatives of farm
machinery factories at Minneapolis,
Moline and Chicago.

Those who are familiar with the
Vaccinations of a thrashing machine
know that the principal parts are the
cylinder and %concayes. On these de-
pend the thorough thrashing of the

of these parts. improvements ac-
complished in time advanced the con-
caves toward what seemed perfec-
ton, but nevertheless there still re-
mains the greatest worry of the farm
er at thrashing time-the unpardon-
able waste of time, caused by a shut
down while concayes and cylinder are
being changed. All this usually takes
place while 20 or more men in a
thrashing crew are in the field and
are given an hour or more of leisure
at the expense of the thifty tiller of
the soil.
To the end that this profligate
waste of labor may be done away

teeth and cylinder is now a matter of
but few minutes work. The sep
arator has three rows of teeth which
can be adjusted in a few seconds at
the will of the operator without re-
moving the cylinder or the concayes.
Suppose for an instance that with the
opening of a new day the thrashers
are bothered with wet, heavy grain
bundles necessitating a special ar
rangement of the concayes to prop
