The Sarcastic Judge.

a late police magisHate was a most
painstaking judge in all his cases, and
in important ones it was his custom
to defer summing up until the next
sitting Of the court. On one occasion
he gave an exhaustive decision on a
case. after which the lawyer for the
plaintiff rose and questioned it.
Pardon me-" said his honor. Il
cannot allow you to reopen case
after l have given my final d sion.
/ may be wrong, but that = my
opinion"
The lawyer quickly replied:
''Then, your honor. ! know it is no
use my knocking my head against a
brick wall. l suppose | must sis

The magistrate adjusted his eye
glasses, looki. sarcastically at the
lawyer. said
"Sir. l know it is use your
knocking your head against a brick
wall; but | may add that know Of

operation with less injury to himself

Reflections Of light on white walls,

However strong the eyes may be,

There has been a great deal of

tain class of shopkeepers try to force
their wares upon passers-by. One
man, a traveller, has managed to get
the better of n of these shopmen,
a clothing dealer, who had a way of
almst dragging people into his place.
One day, shortly after his arrival in
London. the traveller stopped a mo-
ment to examine a coat hanging in
front of a clothing establishment,
when the shopman rushed out and
asked:
Won't you try on some coats?"

at his watch again, resumed his own
garments, and walked off. saying:

what I've done. l believe in a man
who'll oblige another when he can.

have any coats to try on. I'll do all l

Fat Checks for Milk

| Dairying has firmer hold among
the farmers in the Chinook section
than ever before, and there is {
steady increase in the attention be-
ing paid to this phase of farming
according to County Agent G. w
GustafsOn.
An example Of the Importance OF
milk as a cash crop was recently
brought to the attention of the coun-
ty agent in the North Fork commune
ity. A. S. Baldwin received a cream
check for December of $186, the pro-
duct of IA COWS, only five of them
in full milk. For January his cream
check was $3.50. He has been feed
ing second cutting alfalfa and corn
to his milk cows. Baldwin is en-
phatic in his belief that dairying is
the only way to get anywhere with
the general farm in this country, and
is satisfied that it is a paying busi-
ness.

highly improbable that another Sc
ries of drought years, as serious as
the last four or five, will be exper-
fenced again.
ITO make success in this country
we believe, from the findings upon
the successful farms there, that the
farmer must plan upon making a
permanent home, and that this must
be upon the basis of diversified farm
| ing. Diversified farming, to the ex-
tent of assuring the family living
each year, Is necessary.
Where there is cheap pasture land
available the tendency gradually will
be toward an increased amount of
livestock upon these farms. Where
there is little or no pasture land the
farmers are forced into cash crop
and this crop will be wheat
"All farming in this section should
be built around control of the Rus
show that the ideal way probably will
be one-third in wheat on fallowed
land and the other land in winter
rye and in wheat 'stubbled in On
the unfallowed land crops should be
planted only If it be free from thistle.
The diversificat1on base will assure
the farm living; the fallowed land
will more nearly assure crop yield
each year and the crop on unfallowed
land will provide for the year when
conditions favor big yield, with
yields nearly as good as summer fall
low and without the expense of fall
low.
ITO provide for the bountiful years
when returns should be as large as
possible, the farmer should practice
the highest economy of man labor.
By this I mean the using of large
teams by single man. On many of
the most successful farms we studied
we found the farmer using eight to-
12-horse teams and handling large
amount of ground. In the good years
the returns will warrant this being
made the usual farm practice for
every crop year.
Another great possibility for this
section is dry land irrigation. Our
irrigation specialist estimates that SO
per cent of north Montana farms may
irrigate from one to 100 acres each,
either by use of spring flood waters
Or through dams in coulees that pro-
vide for distribution through bitches. |
Crops raised under these conditions |
are comparable to the crops in the |
best irrigated sections of the state. |
The cost of providing either flood ir-
rigation or irrigation from a reser-
yoir in the north central section is |
small, almost a proposition of labor.
For the control of the Russian |
.histle on summer fallow our survey
would point to the double rod weeder
md the duck foot cultivator as the |
.wo best types of tools. The duck foot |
,ultivator is the ideal type for sum-
ner following without plowing.
''In soil blowing we find another
that must be more carefully |
handled each year in this section as
he soil loses it's fibrous growths and
ends to break up. Fallowing with
,ut blowing seems to be one of the
pest means of preventing excessive

kin1ION BUSHELS
WHEAT IN SCOBEY
SHERIDAN COUNTY TOWN is THE
LARGEST WHEAT SHIPPING
aCENTER
Two Million Bushels Wheat Have
Been Shipped from Scobey; Is Also
Great Flax Growing Section; Many
Large Farms.

There are still million bushels
of wheat to be shipped from ScO-
hey, Montana, the worlds biggest
s wheat shipping point, and already
10000 bushels have been sent
ont from this point.
This is the statement of c.. T
Swenson, vice-president of the Firs
National Bank of Scobey, who is O.
the belief that Scobey will have more
wheat planted In 1928 than was
planted in 1922.
"Scobey, while great flax grow
ing section, has lately increased the
wheat acreage and we now claim the
largest wheat growing section in the
world, where formerly we had the
largest flax growing section.
"We are informed of our status
each year by the Minneapolis cham
Der of commerce and still contend
that our town is the greatest wheat
shipping point of the world.
'tAll the wheat raised in the
Scobey district is spring wheat and
it has been of good quality. Some OF
it is raised in Canada and imported
to ScobeY for shipment.
ssThe farmers are coming around
to wheat more and more and to mod
ern methods of farming. There is
not much virgin land left and flax
is not planted as much as it formerly
was.
There are. some very large farms
in the Scobey section, operated on a
large scale along the latest scientific
lines.

our town in coming to central and

of our proximity to North Dakota and
