The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-05-29

Roy Nj. FarwelI, senior partner
of FarweI Brothers, who are the
Oldest cattlemen in the Sidney dis
trfct, has sold out, with the inten-
ton of retiring, and will go to
Missouri and make his home. For
the last "a years the Farwells have
u an outfit in the "Cross the
River Country and about 20 miles
up from the head of Benni Peer
creek.
In the spring of 1900 these people
were located with a COW outfit in
eastern South Dakota and awakened
to the fact that range was getting
short because the "Honyaker'' was
rapidly making inroads by pre-empt-
ing land for homesteads. In those
days, short grass was something to
worry about when the catt1eman had
a bunch of range stuff to look after.
In a name that would give the
late Emerson Hough the nucleus of a
story, the FarWells loaded their wo-
men folks in a wagon, rounded up
the herd and started northwest,
knowing nothing of their destination
except that it would have to have
lots of grass. The overland trip end
ed on Benni Peer creek, where they
bave ranched the last "a years.
With lots of water, good range and
but one neighbor within miles, these
folks prospered and established the
reputation of stability and success.
AS the years rolled on, that section
also became attractive to the "Hon-
yaker" and the Farwells, deciding
that there was no more free range,
made up their minds to get out of
the business.
When these people came to Rich
land county, William Mckinley was
president and the nearest shipping
point was Wibaux, some so miles dis
tant, with not an automobile in Mon
tana or North Dakota. According to
Mr.. Farwell, he could at that time
have bought the entire lower Yellow
stone valley, including the land upon
which Sidney is located for $2.25
an acre.
With the proving that that section
is adapted to corn raising, Mr.. Far
well is of the opinion that the future
of the stock business will be parallel
to corn and that the day of the range
is ove as far as that section Is con-

to see that little shrimp arrest me

Constable Kicks was called upon
to serve a warrant on this man re-
Gently. The constable, who is a man
of gentle voice, slight physique, and
unassuming manner, rode up alone
to the cabin at nightfall, arrested
his man, ate supper and slept in the
same bed with his prisoner, and next
day delivered him safely to the sher-
if at Jordan, 40 miles away.
Residents of the western part OF
Garfield county state that they are

law-abiding community ever since
Mr.. Kicks took office.

WEED ERADICATION
IS COMPULSORY

NINCE March IS, 1895, there has
- been a law on the statute books
~ OF Montana requiring all prop.
erty owners, including villages, towns
and cities, counties and railroad com
panies to destroy weeds and to pre-
vent their going to seed. The weed
statute has been one of the most
conspicuous examples Of the fulfil
ity of attempting to correct natural
conditions by legislation4
To people who prefer green lawns
to yellow lawns, the dandelion is one
of the most obnoxious weeds that
exists, although technically it classes
as a plant. In the spring months,
Montana's beautiful capitol looms
like a majestic castle set in a sea of
golden buttermilk, with the scapOse
p%erennials waving in the breeze.
The farmer, however, is more in
terested in the Canada thistle, the
Scotch bull thistle, the Russian this

shall grow on his land.

argument over weeds and passed a
law designed to Danish this outlaw
vegetation from the confines of the
Treasure state. Section 1897 of the
session laws of 1895 provided:
Canada thistle, the Scotch bull
thistle, and the Russian thistle are
hereby declared to be a common
nuisance. Any person or persons
owning lands within this state, or oc-
cupying or having control of any
land, whether within the plat of
towns, villages, or cities or. other
wise within this state, knowingly per-
hitting or suffering any Canada
Scotch or Russian thistle or thistles
to. go to seed upon any land
shall be deemed guilty of supporting
or maintaining a commo nuisance,
and upon conviction thereof in any
court of competent jurisdiction, OF
the offense, shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding SO nor less than
five dollars"
The law then gave railroad COM
panies and other property owners I'M
til August Is of that year (the act
was approved in March, to clear the
weeds off their property and pro-
vided that any road supervisor or
commissioner who found
growing on property within
the county might have same clear

SUCCESS OF SWEET GLOVER
DEPENDS ON VARIETY GROWN

lis hoped that strains may be devel.
oped that will be better adapted tC
the soil and climatic conditions OF
the state. The agronomy depart
ment of the Montana experiment sta
ton has several selections under OBJ
servation, but it is too early to make
any predictions as to their value.
Biennial white sweet clover is the
most variety in the state at
present but its popularity is decreas-
ing in favor of the biennial yellow.
The white-blossomed variety grows
quite erect and has rather coarse
stems. During the first year it pro-
duces a leafy growth, and under dry
land conditions in Montana an aver
age height of IL to IA inches is re-
ported. During the second year the
crop grows coarser, developing heav-
Ter stems with a small proportion of
leaf to stem. An average height of
growth reported by dry land farm
ers is 40 inches but it varies from
So to "a inches, depending upon
moisture and soil conditions.
A few new varieties of biennial
white sweet clover have been given
more or less publicity during recent
years. Arctic sweet clover, intro
duced by the University of Saskat-
chewan, is quite promising in the
It produces good yields
of seed and is now recognized as a
standard variety by the Montana
Seed Growers Association. Grundy
county sweet clover, which was de-
veloped in Illinois, is another promis-
ing strain of biennial white. Com
pared with the ordinary biennial
white sweet clover, both these var
ieties are earlier, have finer stems,
and do not grow so tall.
Biennial yellow sweet clover, al
similar to the biennial white
variety, differs in that it has a more
spreading or PROSTATE habit of
growth, the leaves and stems are
finer, and it natures one to two
weeks earlier. Because of the spread
ng habit Of growth, the seed bran
,hes are often produced close to the
ground where they are frequently
missed by the animals while grazing

cut for hay. This characteristic

After the high tide of adventurer

training and desire to help develop
its agricultural possibilities, Blaine
county, Montana, some six years ago

full, the county having the reputation
now of producing perhaps more pure
bred hogs than any other county in
the state. A generous portion of the
credit for this achievement is given
to the boys and girls club members.
1t was determined in 1920 that
club members might share the re-
sponsibility of introducing pure bred
hogs into the county and 10 club
members volunteered to take pure
bred sows under the endless chain
method. For these club members a
breeding circuit was organized and a
registered boar bought. This animal
was sold at the end of the season
at an increase in price SO that the
cost of breeding was very low. The
next year the membership was in
creased to 20 through cooperation
with local banks. A judging team

How to Make
Grape Jelly
in Is Minutes
BY Ann Proctor

The most delicious grape jelly you
ever tasted-chock full of the natural
color and flavor-can be made at
home by anyone within Is minutes
after the fruit is crushed and
squeezed. ! use the Certo method
because it takes only one-half min
ute's boiling, thus saving flavor and
color, never fails, permits the use
OF full-ripe grapes, and is cheaper
because / get one-half more jelly
from the same amount of grapes.
To make IL large glasses of grape
jelly, use this simple recipe:
Stem and crush thoroughly about
3 lbs. rjpe grapes. Add l-2 cup wa
ter. stir until boiling and simmer 10
minutes in closely covered saucepan.
Place fruit in cheese cloth bag and
squeeze out juice. Then drip juice
through cotton flannel bag if a
sparkling jelly is desired. Measure
8 level cups 6 1-2 lbs.) sugar and
4 cups e lbs.) juice from cooked
fruit into large saucepan, stir and
bring to a boil. At once add 1 bot
tie (scant cup) Certo, stirring con-
stantly and bring again to full
boil for IL minute. Remove from
fire, let stand minute, skim and
pour quickly.
By this short "Certo Process" you
save all the flavor and color that was
boiled away by the old method. Time
and worry are also saved and you
have 5 lbs. of jelly from 2 lbs. of
grape juice as against 3 lbs. of jelly
by the old method; and the cost with
3Oc grapes and lOc sugar is less than
10c per glass.
Certo is simply the "jell" property
of fruit, refined and concentrated. 1t
contains no gelatine or preservative
and is sold by grocers everywhere.
The above recipe and nearly 100
others for making delicious jellies
and jams by the "Certo Process" are
found in the Certo Book of Recipes,
copy of which is attached to every
bottle of Certo. Be sure to try the
Certo recipe for grape jam, hereto
fore considered impossible to make.
Use Certo this year in making all
your jams and jellies. It saves time.
worry and boiling. The "Certo Pro-
cess" never fails and saves money,
because you make one-half more Jelly
from the same amount of fruit; it is
endorsed by national authorities. and
housewives everywhere. Jelly and
jam made with Certos keep perfectly.
