larger or smaller amount to the farm

own words. he has been preaching "di-
versification for the past two years.

Blue Ribbon County
A story of success on the Primeau
farm naturally leads to at least a short
discussion of corn in Phillips county.
Phillips county. by admission and charge.
holds the blue ribbon for corn raising
in the north tier of counties. thanks to
County Agent Stapleton and his very
fine work for the Montana Extension
service up there. The acreage last
year, at more than 1900 acres. just
''whetted the appetite" of the Phillips
county farmers and this year they have
signed up to plant almost 10000 acres.
OF this 1000 will be in Dakota white
flint, 1900 acres in northwestern dent
and 1000 acres of other varieties.
Mr.. Primeau and his neighbors get
good yields from corn. The more care
full farmers often get from % to 30
bushels, with most of the farmers TAX
ing between Is and IS bushels.
Both Mr.. Primeau and County Agent
Stapleton "swear by" corn as the big
crop for Phillips county, using it every
third year in the rotation. And Mr..
Primeau. by raising corr and feeding it
to his Poland China hogs. says he again

Fred Primeau, a farmer living just
east of Malta, Mont, does no waste
many words, so he summed up his ex-
perience in the above words when he
was talking to a representative of the
Montana Extension Service recently.
The extension service people were
making a survey of north Montana
farmers. seeking stories of methods by
which various farmers had made a sue
cess in spite of recent years of drouth.
Fred PriIneau was pointed out as one
of the successful farmers of the Malta
neighborhood and a few minutes talk
with Mr.. Primeau left the extension
service people convinced that Mr.. Prim-
eau will be in the hog raising business
for a number of years to come.
Mr.. Primeau is one of the $50 farm
ers Of Phillips county who raised a to-
tai of OILS acres of corn last year.
Corn is fast becoming one of the lead
ing crops, in acreage, in Phillips coun-
ty, and corn to the Primeau farm means

hogs. They raised hogs consistently
and successfully until during the war
when wheat prices began booming.
Then they got the craze for wheat and
went into wheat almost exclusively.
Good Corn Yields
This time I'm going to stay with
the hog raising business" said Mr..
Primeau in telling his experience with
straight grain farming. I'VE can raise
good corn up here, and get good yields
to the acre. My hogs do well when
there is corn to feed them. and they
return a sure profit. l keep a regis
tered boar and am always breeding up
my hogs, getting better results every
year"
Mr.. Primeau really has had good
success. This spring to date Il Of his
sows have narrowed with an average
of II pigs each. All farrowed in a
straw stack and brought all the pigs
through. One more SOW is to litter
this spring.
Last year Mr.. Primeau sold 81 head
of breeding stock and. from his spring
pigs, sold a carload that brought him
about $ 1000. One-half carload were
sold in Great Falls, weighing 22S
pounds each. Another half carload
were sold in Malta. bringing him eight
dollars each. He kept account of the
feed that was used in preparing his
pigs for market. He used just 1000
pounds of ground feed for the So head.
Last year Mr.. Primeau put in but
Sc acres of corn. The year before he
had in $50 acres of corn and had
enough left over to cut down his aver
8 in 1921. He plans in the future
on about 100 acres of corn each year.

for trouble.
In each camp there is a weatherproof
box out in the open, in which are
stored magazines and periodicals gath
cred up in the cities by various library
associations for distribution among
lumbermen. Half a dozen men explored
the contents of the box at headquart-
ers as 500 as opportunity offered.
But there were also many books In the
bunkhouses.
The Nine Mile in one respect has an
advantage over similar camps in other
states. 1t is subject periodically to the
visits of a library car. The establish
ment of this service also is credited to
MIR. Ross. He furnished n car properly
equipped with shelves, and the county
library at Missoula supplies the books.
The car visits all the camps at reg
ular intervals, coming up the main line
of the Milwaukee railroad to Huscn.
and then transferring to the log road
1T the main line junction.

At the store. the articles chiefly in
request were smoking tobacco and
snuff, which seems to have almost en-
tirely displaced chewing tobacco among
the lumbermen, candy and "tin pants.'
The latter were garments that can stand
alone. Made Of some stiff, highly re-
sistent material they are worn by
woodsmen and the camp employees with
the heaviest tasks to perform. They
say "tin pants" are inpervious to any
thing but bullets.
The last chores are done by the bull
cook and by Murphy, the pig man. The
Nine Mile raises its own pork. On the
other side of the tiny mountain stream,
from which the name of the timber
camp was taken, there are a series of
pens sheltering a couple of hundred
pigs of all ages, but mostly babies
which are not to be turned into sau-
sage, hams and fresh roast until next
autumn or winter.
Murphy thinks those pigs are al
most human" said the cook. IF he
had his way they would get half the
feed of the horses in addition to their
own r~ations, and none would die a
violent death. When Ne had, to re-

Lights Out
The bullcook's last duty Is to turn
out the lights. At nightfall the whole
camp blazes and wrinkles with cleo
tricity, supplied by a storage battery
plant, but at nine o'clock, when the cur
rent Is switched off, most of the men
are in bed, wrapped in the slumber that
comes to unworried, BEAUTIFULLY wearied
bodies. Thereafter the camp is silent
until the breakfast call again proclaims
the virtues of hot cakes with butter and
syrup, sausages country style, and even

back to San Juan and, disheartened,
asked the viceroy to relieve him.
For a couple of years he was al
lowed to remain and reflect on his
failures. Then, in 1908. Peralta was
appointed to succeed him. Peralta's
most notable achievement was the
founding of Santa Fe. Some historians
say Santa Fee was built on the site
of an ancient pueblo, which would make
of it the oldest city in the United
States. Other historians say that it
was built some miles from this old
Indian town.
this time New Mexico was fairly peace
full. There were some minor revolts
among the Indians, but they were put
down ruthlessly. Little consideration
was shown the Indians. Natives who
persisted in their ancient religious rites
were charged with sOrcery and witch
craft. and large numbers were adjudged
guilty and hanged Or burned, at the
caprice of those in power.
Great Indian Revolt
In 1860 a great Indian revolt broke
out. An Indian named Pope, who had
been educated by the priests and had
much influence among his people,e was
flogged and driven from his pueblo.
He organized a secret society among
the Indians. the purpose of which was
the throwing off of the Spanish yoke.
The plan Of Pope was for the Indians
to rise on a certain date and kill every
man. woman and child of Spanish blood
in New Mexico. A knotted cord, indi-
eating in some mysterious way the date
fixed for the slaughter. was sent among
the pueblos. A devout Indian convert
infnrmpH tho nr1actc uyhn Union fhpH
found that thousands were in the CON
spiracy, gathered all of the Spaniards
they could about them and sought safe
ty in flight. Every Spaniard who was
not warned in time to get away was
killed. For is years thereafter there
was not a man or woman of Spanish
blood in all of New Mexico.
Pope, the liberator, made himself
emperor of the Indians. He restored
the ancient worship, burned the Cath
Ole churches, and abolished the Span
had done in throwing off the CALLING
Spanish yoke, the Indians gave him
almost unlimited power. In time he
began to abuse it. Before the coming
of the Spaniards each pueblo had been
governed by the elders, the pueblOs
uniting only in ONE Common cause
like making war against a common
enemy.
The rule Of Pope began to chafe.
He had made the Indians believe that
he was possessed of supernatural pow
ers. especially with regard to the ele-
ments. He could bring the rain, he
said. at his pleasure. A long period of
drought undermined his influence. The
Apaches began to make raids through
the pueblo country. He lost every
battle he fought against them, his pres
tige waned. and he was deposed.
Expedition Of 1892
Finally, the king of Spain decided
that New Mexico must be ~reconquered.
General Diego de Vargas led an expert
ton north in 1892. His march about
the pueblo towns was a series Of peace
full triumphs. New Mexico came back
to Spain with practically no bloodshed.
In 1893 some Of the northern pueblos
revolted. Taos, one Of the rebel towns,
was sacked and burned. The defenders
of Taos who were not killed in battle
were executed, to a man, and their
women sold into slavery.

the plot fled with his followers to the
hills. After Onate's departure Zutu-
capan and his men came back to
Acoma, surprised the detachment of
soldiers Onate had left in charge of
town and killed them to a man. Fol
lowing this bold stroke the entire popu-
lation of Acoma declared for Zutu-
capan and liberty.
Capture of Acoma
Onate sent a strong force against the
Acoma with instructions to show no
quarter to the rebels. In reply to the
Spanish captains demand for the towns
surrender the Indians gave the naked
dance of defiance, high on the walls and
too far away for the shOrt-ranged
Spanish musketry. The Spanish pre-
pared to take the town by assault. A
feint attack was made with the prin-
cipal force on one of the entrances.
This was kept up all night. Under cover
Of darkness another force of picked
men climbed the hills back of the town,
and by dawn had made a breach in the
adobe walls. Through this they en-
tered and fell on the Acomans from
the rear.
These Indians had never before
fought against soldiers in mail using
Suupc"utI. but they we're uptefmlneU
to win or die. and made a brave but
futile stand. The issue was not long in
doubt When it was apparent that the
town was to fall men and women threw
themselves from the walls rather than
submit. When the fighting ceased the
place was a shambles.
Over 5000 Indian men and women
had been killed. A scant 600 men,
mOrtally wounded. and women. were ali
that were left alive. Over 1000 Indian
allies of the Spaniards were impressed
to bury the dead, a gruesome task that
required several days. With the fall of
Acoma word went forth that the
%Spaniard was invincible and there was
no further opposition to Spanish rule.
Period of Tranquility
Then followed a period of tranquility.
The priests made converts by the hun
dreds. With the aid of many slaves the
colonlsts made good progress in agri-
cultural development. Onate however,
was still dreaming of the conquest of
rich tribes further north. This policy
was in conflict with the work of the
priests and colonists. Friction between
those who were for peace and those
who were for war developed. It be-
came acute, but Onate was supreme
ana nad MS way. he gathered his
forces about him, and leaving the
colony defenselesA moved into the
northeast in 1901.
He killed 1000 Indians in a battle o n
the Matanza plains, but on account
of formidable reinforcements Of natives,
thought it best to withdraw. and started
on his return march for New Mexico.
He had gone far, through Oklahoma
and Texas, and had found nothing in
the way Of wealth. When he reached
San Juan he found that the priests
and colonists, weary Of war, had fled
to the Mexican boundary and safety.
Onate's dream Of rich booty was dis
sipated and he was a ruler without a
people.
Onate Gives Up Struggle
Onate and his captains believed they
would find another rich Aztec race to
the west, and in 1904 he led his men
in that direction. He went to the
Colorado river, down the Colorado to
the Gulf of California, coming In con-
tact with poor Indian tribes not worth
the plueking. He led his jadet forces :

less in putting down rebellion. After
his coming there was peace and pros
perity, with the slow development that
is peculiar to Spanish colonial rule.
New Mexico continued a loyal prov
ince for 125 years, when it Joined with
Old Mexico in the movement that led
to it's becoming a part of the southern
republic, and became a territory of the
United States after the war between
this republic and Mexico.

Then Onate moved north to COM
mence his conquest. Sixty days later
his army stood in battle array before
an Indian pueblo. neal the modern town
of Santa Domingo. But the Indians
were of no stomach for fighting. The
town surrendered, and a few days later
Onate received the submission of seven
Chieftains of Importance, representing
81 pueblos. He established his head
quarters at Caypa, a pueblo which he
fechristened San Juan. His first work
was to the erection Of a
church. the first place of worship to
be built north of Old Mexico. By the
time of its completion the colonists and
their families and herds had arrived
On Onate's orders representatives Of
