Chess Tournament No
Place for "Rooters"

Chess is one game, or sport, where
the roOter is conspicuous by his alb
sence. The stickler for golf etiquette,
who frOwns If a robin chirps while
some one Is attempting to putt, would
be considered a noisy nuisance at a
chess tournament. A gallery Of silent
spectators may stand at a respectful
distance from two masters Of the
game, but those of the gallery must
keep quiet. If an important move is
made-one that appears to have pc
culiar significance in regard to the
outcome Of the contest-there must be
no cheering. Even nodding approval
is barred If the nod will cause the
collar to rattle.
Chess masters regard their pieces
by the hour. Minutes will pass while
an Of the possibilities and eventuali-
ties are considered from every angle
There must be absolute quiet, for
chess is a game for thinkers, and
thinkers cannot be disturbed without
serious consequences to their train of
thought. The escaping Of a sigh seems
as loud as the exhaust of locomotive.
The dropping Of a pin would be re-
garded as an outright violation of the
code of ethics. Chess is a game where
concentration rises to sublime heights
and where silence is obligatory If not
golden. Municipal authorities who
have established quiet zones and then
been at loss to know how to main
tain quiet in them might learn some
thing from a chess tournament. Place
a group of chess players in each zone.

BOY WITH GUN HUNTS KILLER
Duke" Evans Escapes After Lad
Finds Him Asleep in Weeds

1t has just come to light that the
chase in two states after julius Evans
alias Duke" negro gunman, who is
alleged to have shot Christian Chris
tensen, a farmer of near Houston,
while Christensen was guarding his
poultry house, came near being ter
minated by seven-year-old Albert
Pearson, son of James Pearson, who
lives on a farm between Wilson's Mill
and Houston.
The Pearson homestead fronts the
mill pond and young Albert knew
Evans well as he and the hunted ne
gro had often fshed together in the
waters of the pond The Pearson
farm is situated near the woodland
where Evans was said to have been
hiding and was the center of activity
of the chase, so Albert was we'll post
ed as to what was going on concern
ing the hunt
Friday morning the boy with his
dog started on a walk around the
farm. A short distance from the
house the dog commenced to growl
near a clump of tall weeds that were
growing along a fence. Albert went
to the place, pulled the weeds apart
and peered through the opening.
There lying on the ground, sound
asleep was Duke" the negro whom
every officer in the State was on edge
to catch even a fleeing glance, and
were risking their lives in an effort
to capture. The negro was at the
mercy of the one who found him.
Was Albert scared? "Not bit, "
he said. He knew Duke" and wasn't
afraid of him. He had heard grown
= ups say, "When you see him, shoot
him first and talk to him afterwards" "
SO Albert started to put the saying
in execution. He went to the house,
obtained his fathers shot gun, broke
r the barrels, loaded the weapon with a
e shell and all alone started again to
e where the negro was still lying
4 asleep. AS Albert left the yard his
r father spied him, carrying the gun
I He ran to the boy, asking him what
n he was doing with the weapon. Al
5 bert explained that he was going to
e get Duke" When the elder Pearson
r learned the truth he became sc
}. nervous that it was several minute;
t before he could gain possession ot
u himself.
e By that time the dog had again rur
e to the sleeping negro and by hi!
l. barks aroused him. The hunted negro
e then jumped up from his place o
d. concealment and ran to the woods an'
= was soon lost from view. That wa
re the last seen of the negro that day.
4 While it is conceded that the allege
Id murderer is now in Maryland or tha
tn vicinity near Seaford, there are man
ld who still think that he has not lef

USE OF HOT BED AND COLD
FRAME SAVES MANY PLANTS

A few years ago a farmer in eastern
Montana wrote to the Montana Exper-
lment Station for information on con-
structing hot bed. The next year the
same farmer wrote for information on
cold frame construction, and the year
following he informed his county
agent that he at last had struck the
right combination. He found that
when he transferred plants direct from
the hotbed TO the garden that the sud
den change caused serious set back
to his plants some Of them dying and
all requiring several days to fully re-
cover and start growing. The next
year he built cold frame and used
that as an intermediate step between
the hotbed and the garden. Tie re-
suits were fewer losses and more Wig
0rous plants, with practically no time
lost waiting for plants to recover.
The farmers experience Is typical
Of many others and well illustrates
why the hotbed and cold frame go to-
gether. The sudden shock caused by
transplanting directly from the hot
bed to the garden is greater than most
plants can stand and for that reason
an intermediate stage, by way Of the
cold frame has been devised, to grad
ually adapt the plant to garden con-
ditions.

The one big argument in favor OF
planting certified seed potatoes is that
they viii produce more bushels per
acre than uncertified seed. In tests
carried on in Louisiana with Bliss Tri-
umph during the past season. uncerti-
fled seed averaged 1896 bushels per
acre and certified seed from Montana
averaged 1922 bushels per acre. The
average yield of certified potatoes
from the states Of North Dakota, Ne
braska, Wisconsin and Montana was
40 bushels per acre. This fact
coupled with the uncertainty Of re-
suits from uncertified stock and the
high percentage Of seconds and culls
which usually result from such seed,
makes the planting OF uncertified seed
potatoes hazardous undertaking
With the Increase in production Of GER
titled seed In recent years there IS
usually a good supply Of seed avail
able.

POULTRY
.FN11S>
POULTRY SPECIALIST
SAYS NO BEST BREED

Which Is the best breed Is ques
tion often asked us. In answer we
have to say that there is no best
breed. You can find good and poor
layers, large and small birds compare
lively In every breed. II Is the strain
more than the breed that is really the
more important thing to consider.
There are three recognized general
classes Of poultry, the small birds OF
so-called egg producing class. the
medium-siz bird. or the sO-called
dual purpose class. and the extremely
large or the meat class. There is no
great distinction between the egg
class or the dual so far as the egg
production is concerned. for many Of
the medium meat breeds are good egg
layers. And In the small sized birds
which are considered for egg laying
only. there are oftentlmes found In
dlviduals that will weigh from Ave
to five and one-half pounds, and
these would make a fairly good meat
bird.
In regard to the breed you would
like to have, It Is suggested that you
decide upon whether you want eggs
primarily, or whether you want gen.
eral purpose breeds. When you have
made this decision. pick out the breed
which you like best, because this Is
the breed with which you will get the
best results. Then after you have
picked the breed that you like best,
buy your stock or eggs from q breed
or whom you know has bred for the
thing that you desire. This may be
egg production. or It may be show
purposes, or It may be a combination.
You can find many breeders who have
bred for egg production, but their
stock may not be worth very much
for show purposes. You can find
breeders who have bred for show pur-
poses and their stock. in turn, may
not be worth very much for egg pro-
duction. You can find a small per cent
of breeders who have combined these
two qualities and, OF course, their
stock would naturally be worth more
because Of this combination.
Just as parting caution. be sure
you know the breeder from whom you
are buying your stock and be sure
that he has the strain of birds which
have the qualities which You desire

PRESERVATION OF BIRDS
PROFITABLE TO FARMERS
Wild Fowl Feed on Insects and Also
Help Clean Fields Of Weed
Seed says EntomOlogist

Farmers may do much In the elimin'
alton of pestiferous insects by pre-
serving the fowl life that feeds upon
insects. Stewart Lockwood of the
United States chronological bureau
declares. During the winter and early
spring months when snow is on the
ground and food is scarce Or nnobtaln-
able altogether the farmer may profit
ably provide enough food for the Wild
fowl such as grouse, sage chickens,
and horned lark to carry them over
until the natural feeding conditions
are more favorable.
Mr.. Lockwood showed that the birds
thus preserved would later on, not
only destroy large numbers Of insects
that are Injurious to crops, but would
also clean up n great deal of weed
seed that would otherwise foul the
fields. Considering the weed seeds,
the insects and worms that the birds
would eradicate. the investment Of the
small amount of feed necessary to see
that the birds wintered safely, would
bring handsome returns to the farmer.
1t IS not uncommon for a whole flock
of birds 10 winter and make their
homes near a place where there Isl
feed during the winter and that place
is pretty sure to be free from pestifer-
GUS insects.
While 1t Is not known what proper
ton If any of the wild fowl perish
through lack of feed in the winter. X.
+. Bateman, predatory animal inspec-
tor, showed that considerable num-
Der Of them perish each year due to
the activity Of predatory animals chief
of which is the coyote. OF about 14o
coyotes killed through federal agencies
within a radius of 20 miles of Billings,
most of them showed through stem-
ach content that they had eaten
grouse.
The coyote problem especially near
is being very well solved, Mr..
Bateman pointed out, and In days
ride recently from Butte creek to
Pryor creek, only three coyote tracks
were observed In the snow that blan-
keted the ground. It Is a known fact
that this vicinity is one OF the best
grouse districts. There are other ami
mails that are also inimieal to insect

SEED LABORATORY
ON PAR WITH BEST
Montana Institution at 5ozeman Given
Certified Rating by Association
Of Official seed Analysts

Right at this season Of the year
when farmers Of Montana have the
question of seed testing uppermost In
their minds comes the announcement
that the Montana Seed Testing Labor
atory at Bozeman has been given a
certified rating by the Association OF
Official Seed Analysts of North Amer
lea. This places the Montana labora-
tory on par with the best laborator=
les In the country for there are only
20 certified laboratories in North
America. The. certification means not
only that the local laboratory Is
equipped, has the personnel, and is
able to perform the high class of work
In the way Of seed testing and seed
analysis to entitle II to a place among
the best, but that II actually does this
kind of work. for certificatiOn Of the
laboratory is based upon performance
The following are a few typical ex-
amples of types Of services rendered
by the Montana Seed Testing Labor
atory:
A sample of slender wheat grass
was labeled smeadow fescue." Mead
dow fescue is more expensive than
slender wheat grass; timothy and
lambs quarter was labeled "timothy
and alsike." There was no alsike
present; Seed marked Orchard grass"
was found upon analysis TO be 81 per
cent meadow fescue; Seed labeled
sweet clover" was found TO be SO
per cent alfalfa. This case was IN
1914, before the distinguishing char
acteristics Of the two seeds were gen
orally recognized by the trade.
A number Of instances have been
observed where red durum wheat,
which has poor milling quality, was
sold TO farmers for Marquis wheat. In
some of these cases the mistake was
not discovered until the resulting crop
headed out and the heads Of wheat
were found to be bearded.
In one case a farmer bought wheat
seed which was represented TO him 10
be durum. When the crop came up
his neighbor Informed him that 1t was
winter wheat. A sample Of the seed
sown, taken from the grain drill.
showed that It contained 81 per cent
hard red winter wheat, 27.4 per cent
iurum wheat, IL per cent hard red
spring wheat. a per cent oats. SIS per
cent rye IS per cent Inert matter md

"Hatch Early" and Get
More Eggs From Poultry

| prepared by the United states Departures
Of ASricultare.1
Profits in poultry raising depend e
large extent on the earllness In the
season that chickens are Matched. Be
cause of this fact a slogan of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
has been Hatch Early"
The earlier in life a pullet com
mences laying the greater the number
Of eggs produced during the hrst lay
Ing year. department poultry experts
say. Pullets should be in laying con-
dItlon the first part OF October, II good
winter egg production is TO be expect
ed. The more eggs laid during Noyem-
Der, December and January, the
greater are the annual profits.
The department points out that in
order to commence laying in October,
pullets OF the Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Island Red Wyandotte and similar
breeds should be Matched the latter
part Of March or the first part Of
April Pullets OF the Leghorn. An
coma and similar breeds should be
Matched the latter part Of April or the
first part OF May.
Late-hatched chicks are rarely as
profitable as early-hHtched ones. When
Matched late, they are not able to
make as good growth during the hot
months and do-nnt- mature In
time to start laying in the early fall.
There is little danger Of farmers
Matching chicks too early.
