Plummer Host at Banquet
Ives was hanged December 2lst
1868. On January 10th, 1864, three
weeks later, Henry Plummer dice
on a scaffold he had built as sheriff
on which to hang another man.
Plummer was a man of engaging
manners and prepossessing appear
ance. There was an air of distinc-
ton and refinement about him thai
made it hard to believe that his rea
nature was that of a diabolically
cruel fiend and ruthless murderer
In the absence of his young wife
whom he had sent east to the states,
he lived with his sister, woman
of character and refinement, who
was highly thought of by the few
good women of that wild country.
Their home was next to that Of
Wilbur F. Sanders, later to become
first United States senator from
the state of Montana.
Weeks before the execution of
P1ummer his real character was
known to the men who were to be-
come leaders of the Vigilantes. 1t
was fully realized, too, that Plum
mer must die. However, if he
sensed his impending fate-and it
is said that he sent his wife east be-
cause he feared for the future-he
gave no sign to indicate that he
was worried.
It was shortly before Christmas,
1868, that Plummer gave dinner
at Bannack that has been outdone
in dramatic and tragic interest by
few feasts in history. The guests
included the governor of Montana,
Sidney Edgerton; Wilbur F. San
ders, later to be first United States
senator from Montana and dozen
other of the most prominent citi-
zens of the territory, most of whom
were within few short weeks to
become members of the organiza-
ton that hanged their host of that
night.
By the blancing light of hum
dred candles the feast was set.
Plummer had sent to Salt Lake for
turkeys-the first ever eaten in
Montana-for which he paid $40
each in gold. He had also obtain
ed there other delicacies that never
before had graced the table at any
gathering in the territory In the
finest of wines toasts were drunk
to the governor and others, and,
finally to Plummer, although every
man at the banquet board knew
that he was doomed to die and that
some of them would be his execu-
TONERS.
Hanging of Plummer
Plummer was the soul of hospi-
tality. His easy flow of converse
ton, his ease of manner and his
gracious attention to his guests
made him the ideal host. The night
was half-passed before the party
broke up and Plummer stood in the
door of his cabin bidding his guests
goodnight. In the sky the stars
glittered brightly in the clear, cold
air, and the glory of the moon
the last in its full beauty he was
ever to see-bathed the camp in
light. 1t was night never to be
forgotten by any of the guests.
The succeeding days were
stormy, but the Vigilantes kept
busy collecting evidence. Plummer,
hearing of their activities, felt that |
/ crisis was near, and at dusk one
lay he, with two of his most des-
5erate followers, had their best

japanese Beetles Are

The fact that Japanese beetles at
tack owe 200 species of plants, in
Guiding between 20 and 25 species
which they injure severely, makes tive
control Of this insect unusually diff
cult, because as soon as one infested
species is sprayed with arsenicals and

A series Of studies made for the
purpose of determining what the feed
ing habits of the Japanese beetle are.

paper issued as United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Bulletin 1854,

Beetle Which Influence Its Control"
by Loren r. Smith, entomologist. II
has been found that most of the cul-
tivated fruit trees. corn. beans and
various shade and ornamental trees
are attacked. Sometimes a heavy in
festation will occur at first on peach,
smartweed, sassafras and apple, after
which h beetles leave for other food
plants and do not return during the
season. Ripenlng fruit Of any kind.
silk and ears of corn. and peaches af-
fected with brown rot are particular
ly attactive TO the beetles. During
the early part of the season they are
more abundant on weeds, cherries and
grape; by midsummer fruit and shade
trees are more heavily infested, while
during August and September heavy
infestations are mostly confined to
corn. beans. clover and various plants
in bloom at that time. Most of the
feeding occurs on the upper and other
foliage OF the various food plants.
The bulletin. which also gives other
data bearing on the control of this
pest, is available to those interested.

Bordeaux Mixture for
SPRAYING Potato Crop

Much Of the value of bordeaux
mixture In spraying potatoes depends
upon how the materials in the mixture
are compounded. The standard for.
mula consists OF FIVE pounds OF blue
%vitriol, or copper sulphate, and FIVE
pounds OF freshly burned lime in SC
gallons Of water.
The copper sulphate Is dissolved by
placing II into n bag and suspending
In water. The lime Is treated separ.
ately. A little hot water Is poured on
the lime until II becomes active. Then
cold water Is added slowly as the lime

Considerable Part of
Butter Made on Farms
Recent Bulletin Issued in
Aid of Its Production.

prepared BY the United States Department
of Agrtculture)
When the present generation of mid
dle-aged men were boys, butter was a
farm product almost altogether, and
was shipped to the large markets like
other farm products. With the growth
Of the creamery system. however.
farmers have come to dispose Of their
cream through this channel, and farm
butter has fallen of very largely. In
1899 owe a billion pounds of butter
were made on the farm twenty years
later. only 7OO,0OO.OOO pounds; and the
farm butter Of today is consumed at
home or in nearby towns.
Nevertheless, a considerable part of
the butter of the country is still made
on farms, and to aid in the produc-
ton of a good product, the dairy d.
vision Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture has issued Farm
ers' Bulletin $40. Making Butter on
the Farm. This bulletin first appeared
several years ago.; 1t was later re-
vised; and the demand for it was such
that 1t became exhausted. A reprint
has just come out, copies of which may
be obtained by application to the de-
partment at Washington, d. G.
The bulletin discusses the quality
and preparation of the cream, the
process Of churning, inc how to over
come the difficulties which arise in that
process. Packages for market, and
how to pack the butter for storing are
also taken up. The necessary equip
ment is listed, and a plan is given for
a conveniently arranged dairy house.
which is a highly desirable thing in
carrying on the manufacture of farm
butter.

Sows Must Have Exercise
as narrowing Time Nears

As narrowing time approaches tho
sow should be in good condition, but
not fat. II growth-producing feeds
have been used during pregnancy and
the ration kept bulky by using ground
oats, ground alfalfa or skim milk, the
SOW should be in this shape. Watch her
carefully, making her exercise each
day. A few days before she Is to far
row put her In a pen and let her be-
come accustomed to her surroundings.
Include a little wheat bran or linseed
oil meal In her ration to prevent cost
%iveness, which is common at this time.
The narrowing pen should be dry and
well ventilated. Spread straw on the
ground, but not enough to let her build
a deep nest. Pieces of 2 by 4 nailed
pen about eight inches from the floor
and eight inches from the wall will
tend to keep the SOW from crushing her
pigs against the walls.
After narrowing, the SOW should re-
celve no feed for from "a to 80 hours.
being given only lukewnrm water. She
should then be fed a small amount of
feed for a day or so, and the ration
can then be gradually Increased. The
bulky feeds used during pregnancy are
no In order now, for the gains secured
on the sucking pigs will be the most
efficient gains they will eve make.
Skim milk tankage, ground oats, mid
dlings and llnseed meal are all good to
supply bone-and-muscle-making ma
terial, while corn or barley may be used
literally In combination with any Of
the above mentioned feeds.
Good mothers with large filters win
usually lose flesh, despite the most lib
eral feedlng.-T. J. Maynard. Animal

LIVE
Daily Rations for Draft
Horses, Mares and Colts

Experimental and demonstration
work by the University Of Missouri
College Of Agriculture shows:
That draft horses averaging In
weight approximately 1900 pounds
and which did 4.S hours a day aver
& farm work. required an average
daily ration of 14.91 pounds of grain
and 17.12 pounds of timothy hay.
That brood mares may be used eff
ciently for farm work, but the yearly
e required by them is % per cent
greater than the cost of feed required
by gelding or dry" mares doing the
same work.
That brood mares working and
nursing foals required Al per cent
more grain and 81 per cent more hay
daily during the sucking period than
dry mares. /
That fOals during the sucking
period consumed an average daily ra-
ton Of 1858 pounds of grain and lbs
pounds of hay. in addition to their
mothers milk.
That draft colts consumed an aver
age daily ration of 6.6S pounds grain,
7.42 pounds hay daily from weaving
time until they were turned In pas
ture In the spring. a period Of 219
days, during which time they gained
$50 pounds and weighed at the close
Of the period S36 pounds.
That 1t required 4.4O pounds Of
grain and 4.S3 pounds Of hay to pro-
duce n pound gain on draft colts
from weaving time until turned ON

That In using a grain ration COM
posed of 2 parts corn, 2 parts oats,

Of corn, 1880 bushels of oats and
8 pounds of bran to keep draft
colts In good growing condition from
