MONTANA NOT THE POLAR
REGION MANY THINK IT IS

ThIrty-five years ago, in January,
1883, to be exact, the thermometer at
Fort Keogh, recently abandoned. near
Miles City registered 65 degrees below
zero, or the lowest temperature ever
officially recorded n continental
America. That Is where the story that
Montana Is polar state originated,
and where the rumor that this is the
coldest state in the Union started.
But such is not the case, according
to the state records. Havre, Montana,
is frequently. too frequently, referred
to as the coldest place in the United
States but records show such state
ments TO be erroneous. The average
mean temperature for January, 1923,
In Havre, was 1875 above zero. For
the same month in Duluth, 10.4 above;
for st. Paul 11.6; for DEVILS Lake, n.
D.. 10.8; for Helena, Mont, 20; for
Des Moines. Iowa. 20.4
The fact of the matter is that Mon
tana, sheltered by the Rockies and be-
cause of more favorable humidity is
neither as hot nor as cold as other
sta tes.
Using the same line Of argument
that people use in saying Montana is
cold. basing the statement on one In
dlvidual record. Montana is inilder in
climate than any southern state. Rec
ords show that on July 20, 1893. the
temperature at Glendive was III de-
grees. The highest temperatures re-
corded In southern states are Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi, 107; Flori-
da, 105; Virginia. 104, and Louisiana.
1O3.
The actual statistics prove beyond
doubt that Montana is the possessor
Of an almost ideal climate. The great
er part of the state, excluding Of
course the high mountain peaks that
are snow covered the year around. Is
snow covered less than ninety days Of |
the year, and the average date for the |
first snowfall comes between the first
and sixteenth of October. Sprlag |
comes as close to the equinoxial dale |
set for it's arrival as in any other sta e
Of similar latitude.

THE FARMERS WIFE

How to Judge when canned food is
safe? This is a question which per-
plexes many housewives, and the sub
ject is handled in this manner by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in its Farmers Bulletin /, I'll:
Begin by inspecting the can before
II is opened. III it is a glass Jar. look
for bubbles and note whether the
product seems to have changed color
or become mushy. The lid should
require the application of some force
to remove it; Similarly the TIN can
should be HAT or slightly drawn in at
the ends when cool. If sweIled or
bulged the probabilities are that the
contents have spoiled as a result of
the action of gas-forming organisms.
IL Is a safe rule to discard. without
testing, any canned food which( has
conspicucusly softened, without cook
ing, or which contains gas bubbles,
or which has an unusual smell. Even
il the canned food passes all these
tests successfully but has an unduly
sou smell or unusual flavor. ii should
be discarded at once. III ID Is neces-
to taste doubtful canned food,

HAND COUNTY EXHIBIT

Citizens of Hand county have not
fully appreciated the opportunities
offered through the results of Hand
county's exhibition of agricultural
products at the state foir.
The record Of Hand county in
competition with other couaties of
the state is an enviable one. Four
~firsts, a fourth place and barred
from competing one year, in a period
of six years, is a record to be PROUD
Of. Many people do not realize the
hard and tedious work connected
with the preparation of an exhibit,
If they did it would be less difficult
to get one together.
j G. Wilson has taken up the
work where John Van Loon left off
in 1922. and carried it to a success
full conclusion though he had a late
start. His plans this year are very
good and prospects are bright for a
repetition of last year S victory.
However, Mr.. Wilson can not be
successful without help. Farmers
should get IN touch with him If hey
have high grade grains or products
of any kind. They should not wait
until Mi. Wilson finds cut they have
good products. 1t might be too la.e.
They should notify him. The best
garden products, fruits and cereals
IN the county are none too good for
thE exhibit. Let il not be said after
the show is over, as is frequently
heard. "Oh, if | had known he did
not have any better stuff than that,
| would have brought some in" That
does not help the exhibit CT Mr..
Wilson. Tell him beforehand and
give him an opportunity of getting
It.. Let EVERYONE do his or her par
to put Hand county over fer the
fourth consecutive victory.

do not swallow it, to prevent any dan
ger of poisoning.
2. Make it an invariable rule never
to can any vegetable or fruit not in
first class condition; never can food
that is slightly speckled or some por-
tion of it moldy, ov%ersoft or just ready
to spoil, as this proves poor economy
in the end.
3. Give all canned food a careful
inspection at the time the can Or jar
is opened and discard doubtful mater
ial without even tasting it. 1t is
worth while to notice the Odor of the
food as it is boiling, as heat often
.intensifies certain putrefactive odOrs.
4 Boil the food as it comes from
the can before tasting it.. The spores
of the bacteria may Withstand long
boiling, but they are not likely to
grow in the human body, and their
poison is destroyed by thorough boil
ing. However, it must be understood
that we cannot safely consume spoil
ed food even after long boiling.
5 Final disposal of spoiled canned
goods is really important. Chickens
and other animals have often been
fatally poisoned by eating such gar
bage, and even a greater danger
comes from the spreading of the
poison spores through the soil. There
fore it is best to burn spoiled food,
but if hat is impractical, it should
be boiled with a strong disinfectant
for an hour and then buried deep in
the soil with a generous coyering of
quicklime.
How can the leather stains be re-
moved from white stocking feet or
from hose of other light shades =?
Make solution of ten parts water to
one part Oxalic acid. Wash hose
first to take out ordinary soil, then
dip stained part in the solution, re-
move quickly to clear water to which
a tablespoon of amOnia is added.
Then rinse again in clear water.

Cut weeds before they have a
chance to produce seed. The weeds
which grow undisturbed along road

places, produce n large cEop of seeds
which often find their way to adjacent
