Farm Topics

Cold frames, hot beds, and sash
houses are used to start early or
tender crops.
Farm economists are recon-
mending, that farmers pay cash and
buy in quantity.
Protection from dampness and
from drafts are the two require
ments that most poultry houses fail
to meet.
Feeding experiments indicate that
beef heifers fatten faster than steers
in a feeding period of less than $50
days.
Ten per cent of the total of eggs
produced in the United States in re-
cent years is estimated to have
gone into cold storage.
Buckwheat is good when mixed
with other grains but in small guam
titles, not more than one fourth of
the total ration. 1t is better to feed
it in winter than in summer.

Milkweeds Poisonous,
Sometimes Kill Stock

Whorled milkweeds are poisonous
to live stock and sometimes cause
losses among horses, cattle and
sheep.
Whorled milkweeds have slender
stalks. The leaves are narrow and
are from two to three inches long.
They develop in clusters or whorls
of several needlelike leaves around
the stalk. The flowers are of green
ish white. The botanist's name for
this weed is Asclepias virticillata
Common milkweeds have a heav-
Ter stalk than the Whorled variety.
The leaves are comparatively broad,
oblong in shape, and placed on op-
posite sides of the stalk. The flow
ers are of rose purple. The botan-
ical name is Asclepias syriaca. The
swamp variety is known botanically
as Asclepias incarnata. It has a
larger, deeper-hued blossom than
the common milkweed.
MilkWeeds are deeply rooted per-
ennial plants, producing seeds in
pods, with f1osslike material in
side the pods. The pods of the COM
mon milkweed are larger than those
of the whorled or swamp milkWeed.

Infertile Eggs Will
Hold Flavor Better

Infertile eggs will hold their flavor
better and will keep fresh longer in
hot weather. To obtain this type of
eggs, all male birds should be sold
when Matching is completed, and
plans made to replace them for an
other year with pedigreed males
from dependable breeder or at
least with males from a reliable
source.
Experts offer these other sugges-
tons for successful flock manage
ment: Don't sell out the flock of
hens but Gull out instead. Keep
the birds that are and have been
heavy layers as indicated by worn
feathers, plump red combs and wat
ties, bright and wide awake eyes,
bleached beak and shanks and
full, soft, flexible abdomen free
from hard Jumps of fat
Since summer days are long
enough for birds to consume enough
mash without stinula ting them, as
is the case when a wet mash is
fed, it will pay to start cutting down
on the amount given each day until
the practice is stopped entirely.

COPPER men
fight TARIFF
CUT on METAL

WASHINGTON - The American
domestic copper industry is vigor-
ously Directing to any lowering of
tariff barriers on the red metal in
a contemplated trade agreement
with Chile.
Senator johnson, Democrat Col
orado, assailed the whole principle
of the reciprocal trade program as
an "insidious formula" for detroy-
ing tariff walls and predicted con-
gress would throw it out in 1910.
For nearly seven hours the COM
mittee listened to arguments, then
adjourned to prepare its findings
for submission to the State depart
ment. Actual negotiations with Chile
will not be commenced until after
this Ia done.
The committee heard only few
Witnesses advocate contamination
OF the proposed pact.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon
tana. asserted that nothing could
do more to discredit the entire re-
ciprocaI trade agreement program"

when needed.
Modern new offices have been
built, and a fire protection system

mine. A new Gardner-Denver di-
rect connected type compressor has
been installed in addition to the
larger Ingersoll Rand compressor.
In the mine the vertical shaft
has been sunk to 500 feet. with ap-
proximately 1000 feet of drifting

level with virtually all of the work

365-foot level, and a raise is be-
ing run from the 50O-foot level to
connect with the upper levels and

The state has been without an
assay or buying office since 1882,
when the office was abandoned,
due TO the small amount of bust
ness received. Since then gold and
silver producers have been forced
to send their shipments to Denver,
entailing not only a much longer
delay in receiving payment but the
extra charge for express and in
surance.
The movement was set on foot
by August Grunert, secretary of the
Mining Association of Montana,
who attended the Sheridan meet
ing in company with several other
Butte mining men. The association
adopted a motion by Mr.. Grunert
to have the group begin at once
a concerted drive in the next Con-
gress for the desired action, taking
the matter up in particular with
Montana's senators and congress-
men. Every mining unit in the state
will be asked to get behind the re-
quest.
Mr.. Grunert pointed out the vari-
GUS advantages that would accrue
to producers.
At the time the Helena assay of
flee was Observation-Disclosures
government officials said that mot
enough gold had been received that
year to pay help"
Industry Revived
The year 1892, Montana men
now point out, was not only one
of the low years of the depression
but was prior to the event of the
Roosevelt administration when the
price of gold was boosted to $35
an ounce, resulting in highly re-
newed activity among prospectors
and small operators The prlce of
silver. also, has been pegged from
time to time. making that industry
much more attractive to those en-
gagged in it.
Illustrating the jump in the past
few years. comparative figures for
the years 1894 and 1888, are pre-
sented by mining men. In 1884, a
year following the Presidents price |
boost, the gold production in Mon
tana jumped to 97,445 ounces. In
1898 it was 2O3.313 ounces.
In support of Mr.. Grunert's pro- |
position, President Trauerman OF
the state mining association called !
attention to the fact that practic-
ally all of the small gold operators
are operating on small capital and
with little or no cash reserves.
when these operators have to !
meet a payroll he said, sit is a
common practice for them to take
their pouch of gold to the nearest
bank and ask for a per cent ad
vance on it to meet immediate pay
rolls The reason they do this is be-
cause of the long delay entailed in
getting their money from the Den
yer mint They later on redeem
their security deposits from the
bank and send them on to Denver.
There is also the argument of ex-
press and insurance costs, Trauer-
man continued. Gold is a heavy
metal. The express charge to Den
yer is much greater than it is to
Helena. Insurance, also, is a big
item. For every hour the shipment
is in transit the shipper is paying
the cost of protection. And, to top
it all, buying office at Helena
would mean little or no delay in the
producer getting his money. Actu-
ally, he could dump in his car, take

CANDID PORTRAIT OF DICTATOR Orr DUTY
by Kathleen AaasteEson

E WAS one of the greatest mill
tary geniuses the world has
Z ever known, and one of the
greatest statesmen and administrators
in the history of nations. His figure
lowered over Europe before he was
thirty-five.
But exactly what was he like
around the house? Well, like this,
they tell US:
He was liable to wake up at any
hour of the night and take notion
for hot bath. In the tub he always
wore a turban tied around his head
with the two ends hanging down the
back of his neck Part of his elaborate
toilet was to have his chest rubbed
with a soft silk brush ..
He was always dressed by his
servants. When he shaved himself, he
got soap on everything but the ceiling.
He handled razor awkwardly, shaved
himself downward and inflicted many
a scratch and cut on his illustrious
cheek. He often absent-mindedly
shaved only one side of his face .
His shoes we're ungraceful and
badly made. but they were always
lined with silk. His hats were usually
battered and worn, because his scalp
was tender and new hats gave him
headache. He wore no jewelry of any
kind and never carried a purse or
cent of money in the pockets of his
clothes -.
Heliked his servants to give prompt,
confident answers. yet rarely paid any
attention to what they said. When he
was in good humor. he tweaked their
ears and slapped them playfully on
the cheek He was often irritable; and
he had terrible fits of temper, but he
quickly cooled off and was very for
giving to everyone
He bolted his food and as result
suffered violent attacks of indigestion.
At such times he would lie on the
floor, kicking and bowling with pain,
while his wife held his head in her lap
and rubbed his chest and forehead.
He hated medicine, and if he used any
at all, it was chicken broth. chicory or
cream of tartar. After dinner, if he
wasn't suffering from indigestion, he
