Pinched in between those events is the crown jewel of the weekend, the 15th Annual First State Bank Car Show on Saturday afternoon.

It’s not yet June and I’ve already got hunting on my mind. An elk tag arrived last week in the mail and the deadline for applying to hunt antelope is fast approaching. In a couple of weeks I’ll have a new bird dog to train. And the fish are biting. What’s a guy to do? I decided to grow a smaller garden. For years my garden has been growing in size. I prefer beans and corn to grass so every spring I’d till up a little more of the lawn. When I moved to Malta from Bozeman in 2006 and left the...
Dear Editor, Since chickens are very much on the minds of Malta City Councilmen recently, I will pass on information shared with me recently by relatives: Chickens are raised in Santa Rosa, Calif., Portland, Ore., besides the city of Centennial in Colorado.

This elegant lady doted on them, and as I recall, she provided fryers to St. Mary’s; Fall Chicken Dinner, brin...

Many of these birds try to nest or raise their young in hay fields, which can cause big problems for them when haying equipment comes around.
