WILD TURKEY LIKES TO SAIL

wild turkeys use their wings more

CARE OF BREEDING HENS.
Poultry Specialist Gives Direct MS
for Looking After Breeders.

After having selected the breed
ers with great care, treat them
with care and respect, is the first
direction given by W. d. Buchan-
an, extension specialist in poultry
They are the hens that will lay the
golden eggs next spring if you
give them a chance.
During the vacation you arc
giving the breeding hens, they
should have gained in weight, but
the bulk of this weight should
have been put on in the form of
muscle. Keep them busy.
Don't crowd the house, keep If
well ventilated and good clean,
deep litter on the floor. Hens
won't work if they can get their
living for nothing.
Have plenty of green feed and
feed it. Mangels, carrots and 9th
er roots make good succulence and
assist in toning the body and pro
ducing eggs; but it takes feed
with green leaves to produce good
Matching eggs. Alfalfa leaves and
blossoms, or good grade of al
falfa meal, if they are trained to
eat it, will increase fertility and
Matching power.
Give the breeders plenty of oats
If not sprouted oats, put ground
oats in the mash. A good mash
for breeders could be made by
mixing 200 pounds of bran or mill
run, 100 pounds of ground oats.
100 pounds of ground corn, 30
pounds alfalfa leaves. or meal and
10 pounds Of meat scrap.
Let the breeders run outdoors
If they want to go out when the
weather is bad. don't stop them
for they won't hurt themselves
half as much as if they are kept in
Feed the roosters all they want
to eat. During the mating season
it will be well to have little hop
per of feed out Of reach of the
hens; but low enough so that the
ROSTERS can reach it by stretching
little. The breeders are the
foundation of all future work.
Treat them as such.

Yes; cents to cross the bridge"
After an argument he paid the toll
and went on. In the afternoon he
came back again. Only this time he
had the goat sitting in the cart and
was drawing it himself. Out come
the toll keeper. Here, you know,
you've got to pay cents"
The Du.chman shook his head and.
pointing to the goat, said: Don't
talk to me-ask the driver"

Wanted All the Details.

An officer told story in the mess
one night of his harpooning gi-
gantic sunfish off the Andamans.
After some moments of frenzy, the un
fortunate fish set off at prodigious
speed and before it succumbed, had
towed the officers boat twice round an
islet of considerable size.
at the close of this narrative there
was silence for a few minutes, and
then the colonel in tone of quiet
interest, asked: did 1t perspire
much?'

FRANK ]. EDWARDS
FOR GOVERNOR

Frank J. Edwards, candidate for
Governor on the Farmer-LabOr ticket
is probably one of the foremost fig
ures in the State. He has taken an
active part in state affairs for the
past thirty years and was five times
elected mayor of the city of Helena.
As an executive, Frank Edwards is
by far the best equipped, best in
formed and the most able candidate
for governor in the present election.
Edwards, like Taylor and Anderson,
are the only candidates for their re
spective offices who are supporting
LaFOllette fer president of the
United States.
The other state offices on the
Farmer-Labor ticket needs no intro
duction. All of them merit the sup
port of every progressive in the
State. A full farmer-labor set of of
ficers at the State capital will do for
Montana what the Farmer-Labcr off
Gals have done for Sheridan County.

ENG. TORSTENSON
FOR COUNTY TREASURER


The law in Montana permits the
same person to hold that most inn
portant Office for only two terms or
four years. Under this law Dan Oh
son could net become a candidate at
this time. In his place the farmer
labor convention endorsed Mr.. Eng.
TOrstenson of Raymond, the present
deputy treasurer who by virtue of his
past experience is one of the best
qualified officials running for office.
In other columns of this issue, Mr..
TOrstensOn states his policies and
position plainly and concisely With
the election of Torstenson the tax
payers will be assured a continuance
of the good work started four years
ago by Dan Olson which has reduced
the bonded and warrant Indebtedness
by nearly 100000 which means a
reduction of interest of nearly $4,000
per year. On November 4th the
voters of the county will have an OPP
pOrtunity to show their appreciation
of the good work started and vote for
its continuance by casting their vote
for Eng. Torstenson in the Farmer
Labor column.

NIELS MADSEN
FOR CLERK & RECORDER

For the office of Clerk & Recorder,
the farmer-labor forces picked Niels
Madsen. Mr.. Madsen is one of the
most popular farmers in the Dagmar
country and has been connected with
practically every cooperative Organi-
cations in his territory since coming
to Montana. Mr.. Madsen was in
duced to accept the nomination for
Clerk and Recorder because of his
knowledge end ability as minister
al officer who knows his business and
is not afraid to work. Mr. Madsen is
noted for his efficiency, honesty and
painstaking devotion to his work and
we predict that the Office of Clerk
and Recorder will be run at con-
siderably smaller cost to the taxpay-
ers than heretofore if elected In
every endeavor with which Mr. Madsen
has been connected it has been found
that he has always given his very
best to his work. Mr.. Madsen will
make the county one of its best off
GERS.

DAN J. OLSON
FOR CLERK OF COURT

Probably no officer in the county is
as we'll known as Dan J. Olson. Mr..
Olson ives elected to the office of
county treasurer by a huge majority
in 1920 and again in 1922 over the
old gang candidates. AS county
treasurer he has been always on the
side of the taxpayers and it has been
thru his effort that the county has
been able to reduce its Indebtedness
by more than S500,O0O.O0. Mr.. Olson
not being eligible to another term as
County Treasurer on account of the
state law, is a candidate for Clerk of
the District Court The most we can
say for Dan Olson is that he is one
official with a spctless record and
merits election by his usual large
majority. In every vital issue in the
past Mr.. Olson has been on the right
side and dispite every effort of cor
rupt political machine which has been
against him, he has stood squarely
upon his promises and has not once
faltered. His election is conceded by
even the most optimistic aid gangster
and we predict that his majority will
exceed that in the two previous cleo
tiOns.

HANS RASMUSSEN
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR

In 1922, the Producers News pre-
dicted that if Hans Rasmussen was
elected surveyor over r. G. Link he
would hold that office for some little
time. He was elected by twO-to-one
majority and We will miss our guess
if he is not reelected by an even
larger margin this time. During his
term of office Mr.. Rasmussen has
made a splendid record and has re
duced the expenses of the surveyors
office to less than half of what 1t
used to cost. Rasmussen has not
built any roads nor bridges that were
not absolutely necessary and what
ever he did build, are there to stay.
The unreasonable mileage charges
under the. previous surveyors have
been eliminated and Mr. Rasmussen
in both supervising the road and
bridge constructions and in prepar-
ing the necessary maps and doing
the required surveying is by far the
most economical county surveyor
this county ever had We have not
found anyone criticising Mr.. Hans
Rasmussen's administration as coun-
ty surveyor and there is no criticism
due. Mr.. Rasmussen has made this
county a splendid surveyor

EDWARD NERSON
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER

For county commissioner the
Farmer-Labor party presents Ed
ward Iverson of Antelope Mr.. "
erson, altho running against an op-
pOnent in the primaries received
nearly as many votes as Niels Chris
Jensen who had no opposition what
sOeveT, which indicates that he will
be elected by two to one vote on
November 4th.
No other office in the county is as
important as that of county commits
sioner. For that reason the voters
should give special weight to that
office. With Iverson elected county
commissioner, the county for the
first time in its history would have
a majority Of the board in the hands
of two men representing the taxpay-
ers. The. opposition in this county,
realizing the Importance of the coun-
ty commissioner nominated a desert
er from the ranks of the farmers,
hoping thereby to gain votes from
the farmers ranks. This is the poll
cy always adopted by them and new
er have we found one instance where
they have failed to do this.
Edward Iverson is one of the old
timers, having come to Antelope with
the first settlers in 1909. Upon his
homestead of 800 acres he has es-
tablished himself a good home and
raised fine family. Where Mr.. "
erson is known the best he is liked
and respected the most, and his rec
ord is that of absolute fidelity and
honesty to his friends and his pur-
pose. Mr.. Iverson was one of the
original organizers of the Antelope
Telephone company, the Antelope
Farmers Elevator Company, the Peo-
pies Publishing Company of Plenty
wood and was one of the first direc-
tors of the Producers News. His
stand on political and economic issues
has always been in favor of the
farmers and the workers and against
the grafters and the exploiters. No
better qualified man could be secured
for the important office of county
commissioner than Edward Iverson.

EMMA CRONE
FOR COUNTY SUPT. OF SCHOOLS

FOR COUNTY SUPI. OF SCHOOLS
Miss CrOne is the best County Sup
erintendent of Schools who has ever
held the office in Sheridan County.
She is probably the hardest work
ing official in the county.
She has raised the standard of the
qualifications of the teachers employ
ed in the county.
She has administered the affairs of
the districts without fear and without
favor, honestly and efficiently.
She has done what she considered
right without regard to politics and
without regard to her own political
future.
She has enforced the compulsory
educational laws at the expense of her
popularity, to the end that she re-
duced the absences among the pupils
of the county by nearly $4,000 days
during the last school year.
Figure out what that means to the
pupils and to the taxpayers.
She is probably the best rural
teacher In the county.
She is popular with the teachers

A. 7. LARSEN
FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

. "A
One of the leading representatives
in the State legislature the past two
sessions was A. T. Larsen from Sher-
idan County. Rep. Larsen introduced
and fought for the 8 per cent law
whicr the bankers defeated and which
is feared by the usurers more than
anv other measure introduced for
MANY years. Larsen went to Helena
to represent Sheridan county with
the hope that he might be able to
work with Dixon and his organiza-
ton, but soon founds that Dixon's
game was one entirely different from
the one he purported to be playing
while campaigning for governor IN
1920. Being "a man of unquest1on-
able honesty and integrity, A. I. Lar
sen informed the governor that he
was not willing to be used as tool
for his (Dixon's benefit and that he
came to Helena to represent the
farmers in Sheridan County and not
a political machine. Needless to say
Gov. Dixon felt unfreindly towards
Rep. Larsen ever since and at the
time ne visited Sheridan County a
few days ago he undertook to criti-
cize Mr.. Larsen for not supporting
him for reelection. In every in
stance where the interests of the
farmers and the workers were al
stake, Larsen has been always found
on their side. The opposition con
cedes the election of A. T Larsen OF
! November 4th.

RODNEY SALISBURY

Rodney Salisbury, the present
sheriff, was unanimously endorsed by
the Farmer-Labor county convention

of this county impressed the dele
gates. In every instance has Sails
bury performed his duties cheerfully
and efficiently and even the opposi-
ton can not say that he has shirked
his duties even though they NAV
have been unpleasant and hazardous.
His record is without a blemish in
every respect and he is one sheriff in
the state who treats his prisoners as
human beings Salisbury is one Of
the few sheriffs in this state who
takes the position that the foreclos-
ure lawyers and the collectors are
not running his Office and who has the
courage to advise them Just how far
they may go in their ruthless method
of divesting the poor farmer and his
family Of their last penny and home.

that his fight against an organized

Ole ASPELUND
FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR

Aspelund is a household name IN
this county. The name Aspelund and
the word Assessor has one and the
same meaning. From a cost OF as
sessing the taxpayers in 1920
amounting to $4,000 to the cost OF
assessing the taxpayers in 1928
amounting to $4,000 is indeed an
enviable record. The taxpayers are
making the best investment of their
lives When they re-elect Ole Aspe-
lund assessor. His election is not
even seriously disputed by the most
optimistic in the old gang camp.
Mr.. Aspelund is the best assessor
this county ever had.

CHAS. E. TAYLOR
FOR CONGRESS, 2ND DISTRICT

Sen Chas. E. Taylor of Sheridan
County needs no introduction. He has
addressed nearly every voter in Mon
tana at one time or other. No other
person in this state has fought so
consistently and persistently as Chas.
E. Taylor. Below we print a state
ment by Sen. Anderson which speaks
for itself:
Il have been a close neighbor
to Senator Taylor for seven or
eight years, and during that time
have been intimately associated
with him.
In my judgment, he is the out
standing progressive in Montana
today and has never. wavered in
his devotion to the best interests
of the farmers and workers of
this State.
In fighting ability; in zeal and
Astounding faith; in intellectual
grasp and comprehension Of &c
OnOmic problems, and the gift
of leadership, Senator Taylor has
few equals and no superiors in
Montana
He never turns nor wobbleS
nor compromises, but fearlessly
and openly fights against the
evils in our social and economic
life.
AS a member of Congress he
would be credit to Montana and
render valuable service for the
farmers and workers of America.
