The writer ia In receipt of a commu nication from a reader living at Berne, Ind., making inquiry about land locat ed In the Shields river valley, Mon tana. Our correspondent was brought up on a farm and knows what farm work is and likes It but for the past nine or ten years has been working In a tlnsbop and in this interval bf.s ac cumulated a nest egg, which he wants to invest In the district in Montana referred to. He has In view a relin quished homestead, which can be bought for $7 per acre, and.be wants to know whether this would not be better than trying to get land near bis old home, which costs from $150 to $100 per acre. Not possessing first hand Information in regard to the dis trict about which our friend asks, we have made inquiry of the experiment station located at Bozeman, and in bis reply the director, Professor Linfield, states that there is some excellent land in the Shields liver valley as good as can be found in the state, but he adds that there is some, however, which is not as good, the soil being shallow and gravelly, and be makes the further commendable suggestion that before buying one should personally inspect the land be intends to buy. This is excellent advice for the land seeker, whatever his intended location, and it holds particularly of sections where the soil is inclined to be spotted. The rainfall of the section In question is about nineteen inches per year, as shown in the report of the station at Bozemau, which is not far away. Of course this land is in the dry farming belt, which means that 'the great thing that the farmer must strive for Is to conserve moisture. While the continuous cropping sys tem is followed by some, it is found that the land produces a half more and sometimes twice as much in a pe riod of years by summer fallowing every other year. According to circular No. 19. issued by the Montana Agricul tural college. Thomas Allphln. a farm er located In the Shields river valley, produced in 1911. following a summer fallow, forty-seven bushels of rye and fifty-five bushels of wheat per acre. This gives an idea of what may be ex pected of the land, properly handled. In conclusion, we would suggest to our friend that he take a home seeker's trip Into this new country, and If he finds this quarter section farm having good soil he could hardly go wrong buying it at $7 an acre. In addition to circu lar No. 19, referred to above, we would suggest to our correspondent that he write to the Northern Pacific Railroad company, St Paul, Minn., for booklet No. 81, descriptive of the Shields river valley. i " " fr I T Photo copyright, 191S. by American Press Association.

CARE OF ORCHARDS. When the western orchard expert. who gives most Intensive care to bis trees In the matter of cultivation as well as in pruning, spraying and thin ning, gets only a nominal price for his fancy fruit it is not difficult to see why thousands upon thousands of barrels of apples in central and eastern states, where orchards are used for calf pas tures and given no other care and where the fruit is affected with scab, worms and San Jose scale, do not pay to haul to town, much less ship to a dis tant market If there Is any one con clusion that the writer Is coming to more than another as a result of sev eral years' experience in the fruit raising business it Is that fruit growing can be made to pay only when it ia conducted as a primary rather than a secondary interest and where it Is not reduced to tbtclevel"of a side Issue and i makeshift or worse. Not even the ex- I pert who gives, bis orchard the best possible care will do well every year, but tn the long run be Is the only one who can expect to succeed. THE GROCER'S DREAM. sweet.

With rental of land advancing to 5 and $G an acre it means that ulti mately every farmer In the corn belt will hare to make a more economical disposal it his corn crop than that ex hibited in busking the grain and al lowing the leaves and stalks to weath er In the fall and winter sun and wind. Cutting the crop with binder and ei ther putting It In rainproof shocks or shredding it and running It into a silo are the two ways out and lo many re siects the latter method Is better than the former. The silo can be tilled j rain or shine, and the question wheth- j er the silage keeps well or not Is en- i tlrely Independent of the weather. ! Besides this. It furnishes a succulent ' ration during the winter months, i which Is greatly relished by both the i dairy cow, feeding steer and young 1 stuff. j FIELD BEANS. The field beans will give best results If they are not planted an til early In June. Tat la at this time they tre not bothered so much by the bean weevil as tbey are If planted earlier. Last evening I was talking With a grocer aged and gray, Who told me of a dream he had, I think 'twas Christmas day. While snoozing in his office, The vision came to view, For he saw an Angel enter, Dressed in garments white and new. Said the Angel, "I'm from Heaven, The Lord just sent me down To bring you up to Glory And put on your golden crown. You've been a friend to everyone, And worked hard night and day; You've supported many thousands, And from a few received your pay. So we want you up in Glory, For you have labored hard, And the good Lord is preparing Your eternal, just reward." Then the Angel and the grocer Started upward toward Glory 'sGate But when passing close to hades, The Angel murmured "Wait!" I Ye a place to show you It's the hottest place in hell Where the ones who never paid you In torment always dwell." And, behold, the grocer saw there His old customers by the score And grabbing up a chair and fan' He wished for nothing more; Hut was bound to sit and watch them As they sizzled, singed and burned, And bis eyes would rest on debtors. Whichever way they'd turn. Said the Angel. "Come on grocer, There's the Pearly Gates to see." I!ut the grocer only murmured "This is Heaven enough for me." U. S.
