Butte, Mont.-"I can remember so
years ago, when my mother used and
praised DR.. Pierce's medicines be-
cause they had been so helpful to
her. When | was developing into
womanhood, l was delicate and need
cd some aid to nature and it was the
'Favorite' Prescription that did me
so much good. Again after my mar
riage when the children were coming
into our home, the 'Favorite Pre-
scription' gave me the strength and
nerve to keep up with my work. Also
when I reached middle life I found
the Prescription a wonderful help.
"Once when stricken with typhoid
fever, l was left in a weakened con-
dition, and DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery was what helped me to
recover my health.
Il know how good and reliable DR..
Pierce's medicines are. Mrs. J. B.

SEED PRODUCTION
GROWS IN STATE

rx HE raising and production of al
falfa seed may reach the satur-
l. alton point within a few years
in southeastern Montana if ranchers
of that section keep on increasing
their acreage from season to season,
is the opinion of e. A. Eacock, who
resides near Stacey, south of Miles
City. Mr.. Eacock has 70 sacks of
seed that is ready for delivery, he
said, while a number of his neigh
Dors are also contemplating market
ing their crops. Prices have sagged
a little, he stated, and some of the
seed raisers are waiting for better
market price. Most of the seed is
registered and certified.
1t is a remarkable fact, said Mr.
Eacock, that Montana can raise a
high quality of alfalfa seed, and the
impetus given to the industry dur
ing the past few years has served to
attract considerable attention to the
southeastern Montana farmer. The
quality of the seed has obtained a
high rating, as dependable product
among the large consumers, the dis
tributing houses of the east. A large
number of the ranches in the country
south of Miles City that heretofore
have raised alfalfa for forage only
are now allowing seed to mature and
are harvesting the crop. The value
of having the seed registered and
certified is also recognized.
Shipments to date from the terri
tory between Hysham and Baker of
alfalfa seed amounts to seven car
loads, according to estimates COM
piled locally. 1t is anticipated that
there are about % additional car
loads to be shipped before the sea-
son closes. These will be divided in
to four carloads of registered and
certified and IS of common. Each
ear is estimated to be worth about
$4,000. The present price quota
tons are quoted as follows: Regis
tered, 35 cents; certified, 80 cents;
and common from IS to 20 cents.
Glover seed is being quoted: white
blossom from to cents, and yell
low blossom from z to cents.

President Harrison admitting Mon
tana to the sisterhood of states, as
the forty-first star in the Flag, on
November 8, 1883.
During the third of century
that has transpired since Montana be-
came state, 81 men have sat in the
governors chair and held executive
authority over the state. Six of
these have been governors, some of
whom served two terms; seven have
been lieutenant governors, sitting in
their chiefs absence; nine have been
presidents pro tenn of the senate who
held executive power in the state in
brief tenures when both governor
and. lieutenant governor were absent
from the state. The list is as fol-
lows:

nors who acted as chief executive for
a brief period.
(II) refers to presidents pro tenn
of the senate who were given brief
taste of gubernatorial power.

and distorted and are often blotched
With light green and yellow spots.
The plants become dwarfed and are
more bushy than normal ones, and
Yields are decreased. 1t is very sell
dom that plants are killed by the di-
sease.
The cause of the disease is I'M
known but it has been found that
Mosaic may be spread by transferring
the Juice from an affected plant to
a healthy one, and therefore insects
such as plant lice, may become car
riers. This infection is carried over
winter in the seed. 1t has been found
that seed from infected plants will
usually develop about fifty per cent
of diseased plants.
Mr.. Morris advises that every bean
grower start a seed plot. This
should commence by the selection of
plants in the field, choosing only
such plants as are plainly free from
the disease, having high production
records, are early maturing and that
ripen uniformly.
This seed plot should be large
enough to furnish all seed required
for the following year. Throughout
the growing season the plot should
be frequently inspected, rogueing out
all plants showing any symptoms of
disease as soon as they are discov-
cred. 1t may never be possible to to-
tally eliminate the disease by this
method, but it can be controlled and
The yields materially increased by
this plan.
The seriousness of the disease and
he Importance of taking prompt /
,ontroll measures are emphasized
" Mr.. Morris. In certain bean grow
ng sections of the country losses
rom Mosaic disease run as high as
10 per cent. In some districts of
iontana, losses of five per cent or
nore have been reported and this
nay be expected to increase consider
bly, unless the disease is checked.

GOOD HIGHWAYS SAVE MONEY,
THE FEDERAL BUREAU SHOWS

Good roads save gasoline, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The bureau of public roads
has made study to determine just
how much value good roads are to
the motorist in the matter of saving
gasoline. They have found that
where a gallon of gasoline is con-
sumed on a poor road only seven
tenths of gallon will be required on
a road with good surface. In other
words, for every dollar spent for
gasoline on poor road,

Sentence of Death ON
P rairie Dog to His
Peculiar Food Habits

A prairie dogs appetite is re-
sponsible for his sentence to death
and the possible extinction of his
race by the department OF agricul-
ture. The biological survey shows
that there is not single redeem
ing trait about a prairie dog, at
least in so far as his food habits
are concerned.
After years of experimenting, the
bureau of biological survey has con-
Guided that the tastes of the prairie
dog are so similar to those of cattle
that the two classes of animals can
not live on the same pasture lands,
so the prairie dog must go. He is
a serious robber of the grazing lands
of the west.
Especially in times of drought the
competition between the two becomes
deadly. The tests indicate that the
rodents do not eat anything that
the cattle do not, and further, that
the two eat the grasses in the same
order of preference.
The bureau is vigorous in its pros
ecution of rodents that are detri-
ment to the livestock industry and
by such action saves the country en-
ormous losses from such pests an
nually by destroying them.
