According to a ruling by the secre-
tary of agriculture, grasses and lie.
gumes planted with flax or small
grains as q nurse crop may qualify as
8 nonsoil depicting crop under the
1899 agricultural conservation program
even If a good stand Of the grass or
legume is not established, says W. S.
Bailey, chairman of the state agricul-
tural conservation committee.
He added that failure to obtain a
good stand must be due to flood or
drouth conditions or insect depreda-
tons. The crop will not qualify If a
poor stand is caused by other condi-
tons.
Prior to this ruling. flax, oats, barley,
rye, emmer and speltz were classified
as nonSon depicting crops when plant
ed as a nurse crop for grasses and
legumes and a good grass or leglme
stand was obtained On .nonallotment
farms, wheat also qualities as nurse
crop No other change was made IN

ing shown at the New York

Hofstetter Dairy at Miles City.
The COW is Hofstetter De Kol Segis
Beets. She was selected by Glen Hous-
holder, inspector, who flew to Miles
City in February to see the cow.
An account of the selection of this
cow is told by Householder in an article

From the rugged mountains of
Montana, Holfstetter's dairy of Miles
City offered the choice of their herd
Mrs. J. H. Hofstetter never misses an
mas brought prosperity to the Hof-
stetter ranch and the dairy which
claims a major portion of the retail
milk business in Miles City"
Mrs. Hofstetter says, relative to the
selection of the COW: "Hofstetter Del
kol Segis BeetS, who has been selected
to the worlds fair exhibit sponsored
by the Borden Milk Co., is the great
granddaughter Of Mutual Clothilde De
Kol III, bred and developed on the
Hofstetter ranch. She is eight years old

ing through with his purpose,
whatever obstacles opposed. His
integrity was most pure, his jus
tice the most infiexible 1 have ever
known, no motives of interest or
consanguinity, Of friendship or
hatred, being able to bias his de-
cision. He was, in every sense of
the words, a wise, good, and a
great man. His temper was natur-
ally high toned; but reflection and
resolution had obtained a firm and
habitual ascendency over it. If
ever, however, it broke its bonds,
he was most tremendous in his
wrath
In his expenses he was honor
able, but exact; liberal in contribu-
tions to whatever promised utility;
but frowning and unyielding on all
visionary projects and all unworthy
calls on his charity. His heart
was not warm in its affections; but
he exactly calculated every mans s
value, and gave him solid esteem
proportioned to it. His person,
you know, was fine, his stature ex-
actly what one would wish, his de-
pertinent easy, erect and noble;
the best horseman of his age, and
the most graceful figure that could
be seen on horseback
Although in the circle of his
friends, where he might be unre-
served with safety, he took a free
share in conversation, his col
loquial talents were not above
mediocrity, possessing neither cop
iousness Of ideas, nor fuency Of
words. In public, when called on
for a sudden opinion, he was un-
ready, short and embarrassed. Yet
he wrote readily, rather diffusely,
in an easy and correct style. This
he had acquired by conversation
with the world, for his education
was merely reading, writing and
common arithmetic, to which he
added surveying at later day.
His time was employed in action
chiefly, reading little, and that
only in agriculture and English
history. His correspondence be-
came necessarily extensive, and,
with journalizing his agricultural
proceedings, occupied most of his
leisure hours within doors.
On the whole, his character was,
in its mass, perfect, in nothing
bad, in few points Indifferent; and
it may truly be said, that never
did nature and fortune combine
more perfectly to make man
great, and to place him in the
same constellation with whatever
worthless have merited from man
an everlasting remembrance. For
his was the singular destiny and
merit, of leading the armies of his
country successfully through an
arduous war, for the establishment
of its independence, of conducting
it's councils through the birth of a
government, new in its forms and
principles, until it had settled

The Charm of Manners

Cultivating charming manners is
building for oneself an asset of
great value that will yield a large
amount Of interest throughout the
years to come.
The first and mot important rule
is consideration for others. Before
you say or dc anything, think how
it will affect the other persons and
with few other rules you will find
that you have acquired a pleasing
manner. This does not mean that
you should become a ''yes" man
and subordinate your ideas and
opinions to those Of other people,
because that would make you lose
your personality. It does mean,
however, that you must express
your self in words and deeds So as
to avoid giving offense and caus-
ing ill-feeling. Perhaps you have
heard the old proverb, "a soft an
swer turns away anger" In the
same way, pleasant manner
helps to take you through many
difficult phases of life.
Never try to have the last word
in an argument or raise your voice
in trying to convince your oppon-
ent that you are right. Perhaps
one Of the surest ways Of losing
your case is to become angry dur
ing the discussion. and to show no
respect for your opponents opin-
ions. All of US have our own opin-
ions and views about things and so
the best thing to do during an arg
ument is to state your opinions,
argue your points, and then let the
matter rest. But be sure to show
consideration and respect for your
opponents views He has as much
right to his point of view as you
have to yours.
Never try to dominate a general
conversation. Let everyone have
an opportunity to speak and do
your part in drawing the silent
ones into the conversation. Often
what they have to say is worth
much more than that of a chatter
er.

India's History

India has had many different
civilizations. Among the first in
habitants Of India were the Aryan
invaders, who swept down from
the north nearly twenty-four hum
dred years before the time of
Christ. For nine centuries this
Aryan movement continued.
Alexander the Great invaded the
country in 327 B. O., bringing
with him much of Grecian culture.
Alexander the Great once ruled
here; but his stay was brief, and
ne left to go into Persia.
In the fifth century A. D., Art,
Music, Science, and Literature
hourished in the Golden Age of
Hinduism. The caste system is
very important to the Hindu.
In the eleventh century Arabs
sWarmed into the disorganized
country, spreading Mohammedan-
Ism. We know this is true by the
fact that there are almost eighty
million Mohammedans in India to-
day.
The country is divided into three
general divisions, the main penin-
sula IN the south, with a tropical
Climate, the vast and fertile plains
OF the Indus and the sacred Can
ges and the Himlay. The Hima-
layas stretch in a line, lofty peaks
Tar over a thousand miles. Here
Is to be found Mount Everest, the
highest mountain in the world. All
the rivers have their sources in
tnese mountains, which rivers flow
through the level plains in the
most thickly populated section Of
lne land. At the southern portion
Oh the peninsula there are two
ranges Of mountains, the Eastern
ana Western Chats. These noun
tains are not very high. At the
south eastern part of the penin-
sula, in the midst of twenty-five
miles of shallow water, is where
