Silver City is to
Retain It's Name
4

It's historic name, Silver City, has
been restored to the little community
north of Helena which, since 1T was
moved to a position alongside the
Great Northern tracks, has been
known as Silver.
The change, of which the Montana
railroad commission was advised few
days ago, came about because Of the
similarity Of the names Silver and
Sieben, misreading Of which on train
order caused collision between two
Great Northern trains recently. An
attempt to change the name of Sieben
to Clark met objections from those
who wished to honor the name of Fred
Sieben, well known pioneer farmer
and stockman., For this reason, the
name Silver City again came into
being.

3 LOCAL PEOPLE
NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH NEAR CODY

MIR. and Mrs. John Chapman and
Mrs. Charlie Wilson narrowly escaped
death last Saturday morning on the
Meeteetse road, twelve miles south
of Cody, when Mr.. Chapman's Packard
Sedan swerved off the road at very
sharp curve and plunged down an EN-
bankment, turning over three times
end to end.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman were sitting
in the front seat but were not thrown
out Of the car. Mrs. Wilson, who was
sitting in the back seat alone, was
thrown out of the car through the
plate glass in one Of the back windows.
She was thrown thirty feet farther
from where the car landed, resulting
in a broken right arm, broken rib
and cracked bone In the right leg.
Cars soon came TO the scene Of the
accident, just when Mr.. Chapman was
regaining consciousness. They were
rushed to the Irma Hotel at Cody
where they received medical atten-
ton. F. H. Alden, cashier at the Meyer
Chapman Bank, was Immediately noti-
fed Of the accident upon the Chapmans
arrival at Cody. He motored to Cody
and returned with Mr.. and Mrs. Chap
man Monday night.
Mrs. Wilson is at the irma Hotel re-
covering from her injuries.
The car was only slightly damaged;
the wheels being twisted, the top a
little torn, the tenders slightly bent
and the two back windows broken.
The part Of the road where the ac-
cident occurred has been the scene OF
many other accidents. The road is
narrow, has a double sharp curve and
slants toward the embankment. Mr..
Chapman was on his way to Meeteetse
to attend to business matters and was
accompanied by his wife and Mrs.
Wilson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman and Mrs.

to increase the weight of the birds.
When birds are ten to twelve weeks
old they are ready for caponizing, al

may be caponized as soon as the sex

After birds have been caponized they
should be kept separate from the other
fowls until the wounds are healed. No

Using Rape as Pasture
for Cattle and Calves

Rape may be used as pasture for
cattle but there is danger Of bloat.
This danger Is not so prevalent at
first because the animals usually have
to acquire a taste for the plant before
they will eat large amounts of 1t, but
when they have become accustomed
to it the danger of bloat is always
present. Milk cows being pastured on
rape are usually given a heavy feed
Of grain before being turned on the
field so they will not eat so much of
1t. Plenty Of salt should also he fur
nished animals that are feeding on
rape. 1t would not be wise to pasture
young calves on rape because of the
danger of bloat and also because they
pull up many of the plants, causing a
great deal of waste. The best way to
feed rape to cattle is to cut it and
then feed 1t to prevent waste.

The married man who lives happily

tanning pages of figures proving that

Of women. reports Answers
Marriage, Of course, has steady
ing influence on many men and won.
en-. At the same time its cares and re-
sponsibilities may provide, in certain
cases, a positive urge towards crime.
A man with a family who has not
sufficient money to steer clear Of debt,
for instance, has stronger motive for
stealing than a man who has only
himself to look to. Yet q mans love
for his wife and fear Of what the re-
suit Of his discovery and conviction
would be to his wife and little ones
holds him back from doing wrong.

Story of Zoroaster

Zoroaster was one Of the great
teachers Of the East and founder Of
what may be called the national re-
lgion Of the Perso-Iranian people, that
Is, speaking generally, the Persians.
When he lived and taught is not exact
ly known, but it Is held that it was
between the years 1000 B. c. and 600
B. G. He taught dualism of power,
one good and the other evil. Light
represented the former and darkness
the latter. AS corruption grew up, the
sun became worshiped as the great
source Of light and, therefore, of all
good.

Natural Crossing in
Oats Is Very Small
Experiments Show One Per
Cent in IoWar Variety.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
1t has long been recognized that
when two varieties of corn are grown
in rows side by side a certain amount
Of natural crossing takes place. A row
Of white corn growing next to row
of yellow corn, for instance, will pro-
duce ears that have numerous yellow
kernels. Also it has long been a gen.
eral belief that the so-called clOse-fer-
tilted cereals, like wheat, oats and
barley, very rarely cross naturally I;
that Is, row of white oats, for in
stance, growing beside q row of black
oats would produce white Rernels only.
Artificial methods Of crossing the two
kinds Of oats were necessarily resort
ed to when plant breeders desired a
cross. Seedsmen, therefore, have
grown plats Of one strain of oats next
to plats of another strain, feeling as
sured that each seed plat would re-
main pure.
Such is not the case, however. &C
cording to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Experimental
work with oats at the Akron (ColO.)
field station has shown that without
doubt natural crosses do occur in oats
the same as in corn, although to far
less extent. The extent of natural
crossing in oats varied with the differ
ent varieties. 1t. was greater in some
selections than others from the same
variety. The greatest percentage of
natural crosses was observed in the
Iowar variety, in which an average of
nearly 1 per cent Of crosses was found.
The natural crossing of oats Is so
small that 1t is of no particular sig
nificance to the average farmer even
though he does grow his own seed oats.
1t is Of Importance, however, to the
cereal investigator and nursery seed
producers. The need for formulating
better methods in plat and nursery
technique in conducting experiments
with oats Is apparent if the factor Of
natural crossing is to be eliminated.

Fight Weeds for
Vegetable Garden
Often Becomes Unsightly
Weed Patch Rather Than
Productive Spot.

It Is too often the common fate Of
the summer garden in North Carolina
to become an unsightly weed patch
rather than q productive spot adding
to the health and income of the fam
lily.

cur" says Glenn o. Randall, extension
horticultural for the North Carolina
State College Of Agriculture. Fresh
vegetables form a rich and cheap
source Of those protective foods so
badly needed in the daily diet. These
foods are needed just as badly in the
hot weather Of midsummer as in the
vigorous days of early spring, and it
Is possible to have a continuous sup
ply Of succulent vegetables during hot
weather"
Shallow Cultivation.
To do this, however, Mr.. Randall
suggests that the growing vegetables
must be given shallow cultivation fire.
Quently enough to maintain a thin soil
mulch and to kill weeds and grass.
Then, too, the refuse from the spring
vegetables must be cleaned out If dis
ease was present or composted If free
from disease and the space occupied
by this refuse planted to succession

Some crops that will withstand the
hot weather are snap beans, lima
beans, sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes,
New Zealand spinach and cucumbers.
1t Is hardly possible to have a good
supply of the salad crops or green's"
such as lettuce, as they will not thrive
in hot weather; but New Zealand
spinach will help to supply this need.
Late Cabbage Planting. .
Mr.. Randall states that it Is now
time to plant seed for the late crop of
cabbage, such as the Succession and
varieties. Plants for a late
crop Of tomatoes should also be set
out, using, preferably, the wilt-resis-
tant varieties.

Silo Supplies Roughage
Needed on Dairv Farms

That the average dairy farmer is
bound to be short of roughage this
year is the general opinion Of men in
touch with the situation. To prevent
this shortage, Iowa State college sug-
gests that the silo offers one of the
best ways Of stretching out the hay
supply.
"While silage will not entirely take
the place Of legume hays in the ration
Of the dairy cow" says John M. Shaw,
Of the dairy husbandry department,
experimental work has shown that 1t
will save considerable hay and at the
same time will reduce the cost Of milk
and butterfat production.
'"There is still time to build a silo
and have it ready for filling this fall,
and there Is probably no more profit
able investment which a dairyman can
make"
