Montana as N Wheat
t. #3s. state. H.ff .s.. .. .

The Helena (Montana) Herald, has
tho following: ........ ....~.
As the State of Minnesota has won
a worldwide renown upon the, fact
of her having produced the highest
average yield of marketable wheat of
any other state In the American
Union--and as. we know that the
average, in her most favored season,
was but 81 bushels to the acre, we
desire our neig Of the "land of
lakes TO accept this friendly chal-
lenge from us, viz: That we can
show from the statistics of this sea-
sons harvest, u bigger average yield
OF first class wheat. from say 500
acres, grown I'm the valleys of Mon
tana, than can be shown from the
best 800 acres of wheat ever grown In
the State of Minnesota. .a...........
We candidly believe that 1he en-
tire wheat crop of Montana this sea-
son will average not less than SO.
and perhaps 80 bushels to the acre.
As a single instance OF the many of
which we are personally cognizant,
we may mention that Maj. Forbush,
OF the farmers whose fields are In
sight of this city, has just threshed
and cleaned up SIC bushels from IL
acres Of ground, which gives an aver
age OF 4S bushels to the acre, one
selected acre yielded s5 bushels. The
wheat was not weighed, but measured
asitcame from the threshing machine
In heaped up bushel measure. 1t
was the opinion that IL would weigh
over sixty pounds To- the bushel. In
all the other farm products the sea-
son has been q most propitious one
maturing and growing successfully
In many Instances splendid crops Of
tomatoes, cucumbers, watermeIons.

has heretofore been deemed ilnpossl-

Music I'm Colleges.

DIR. JAMES Pech, of New College
Oxford, and of Trinity Parish in this
city, has been requested to draw up
a scheme, some WHIT similar to the
University of Oxford, with view to
the probable institution of public
professor aud a faculty of music in
Harvard University. At the recent
National Musical Congress in Bos-
ton, there was very animated dis.
cussion OIL the part of several gentle
men Of influence In that city, upon
the recklessness with which Degrees
of Music are beginning to be conferr-
ed in American Universities, without
either professor or faculty to exam
inc candidates for such honors, and by
which very naturally such degrees
are being brought into contempt
This is the first attempt i'm public
way to place music as q science I'm
our colleges. ". Y. Esrniny Mail

1T was nearly dark as he alighted

He had scarcely seated himself COM

approached him, and, with the evil

a favor, quietly asked If, us he had

said the amiabie gentleman, there is
a vacancy In the office of Deputy
Sheriff, and,I can secure the appoint

concluded this was fire opening,
and intimated his willingness TO ac-

Mark Twain, In describing the pri-
vate habits of the Rev. III. w. Beech
er, says: "The great preacher never
sleeps with bis clothes on. Once,
when demonstrated with on the sin
gularity of his conduct in this respect
and the pernicious effect that the ex-
ample might possibly have upon the
younger members of his congrega-
tion, he replied, with the frank and
open candor that has always charac-
terized him, that he would give
worlds to be able tn rid himselfof the
custom-and added that the an
guish he had suffered i'm trying TO
break himself of the habit had made
him old before he was ninety, Mr..
Beecher never wears his hat at din
ner. He does not consider ID healthy.
1t does not Immediately break down
ones constitution, but is slow and
sure. He knows one case where a
man persisted in the habit in spite of
the tears and entreaties Of his friends
until It was to late and he reaped the
due reward of his rashness-for 1t
carried him off at last at the age of a
hundred and six. Had that man lis
tened to reason he might have lived
to be comfort to his parents, and a
solace to their declining years" In
reference to Mr.. BIS farming, Col.
Twain says: His special weakness is
hogs. He considers hogs the best
game the farm produces. He buys
the original pig for u dollar aud a
half, feeds him forty dollars worth of
corn, and then sells him for about
nine dollars. This Is the only crop
he ever makes any money OH. He
loses on the corn, but he makes sew
en- dollars aud half on the hog. -
He does not mind this, because he
never expects to make anything on
corn any way. And, any way it
turns out, he has the excitement of
raising the hog anyhow, whether he
gets the worth of him or not.

Crops I'm Northern Ioxvn.

The writer hereof has just returned
from tour through several of the
counties of Northern Iowa, includ-
Ing Humboldt, Kosswth, winnebago,
Hancock, Cerro Co do and Floyd.
The wheat crop In all these counties
Is excellent In quality, and In quanti-
ty far exceeds that Of any former
year-from 20 to 80 bushels per acre
being the common Yield Tile
greater portion OF II IL still In the
stack, though threshing machines
have been kept busy while the
weather permitted operations. Much
of the crop thus far threshed, has
reached the market in rather damp
condition, so that buyers have hest
tated to pay prices that farmers con.
slider renumerative. While tie
wheat crop is good this year all over
Iowa, we must accord to the North
ern portion Of the state the superb
ority In this respect. The same may
also be said Of the oats crop, much OF
which Is reported to have produced
from 70 to 90 bushels per acre. Very
little attention has been given to rye
and barley, but the soil and climate
are equally well adapted to these
cereals. .s.-.....
The corn crop has thoroughly ma
tured, and the heavy frost of the 18th
ult found 1t fully ripe, and only hast
ened its preparation for early gather
ing. The yields will be far better
than was expected by the farmers.
and but little, If any, less than the
average crop of this part of the State.
The breadth of land devoted to corn
is less I'm proportion than I'm the
Southern counties, hut this year al
though the season has been consider
ed unfavorable, the yield has far ex-
ceeded the expectations of the farm
ers. Very little Of IL has been put
In shock, and mostly be gathered
from the standing stalk I'm the field.
For some time prior to the recent
heavy frost, the chief business seemed
to be hay-making, and despite the
rains, good supply is in readiness
for the winter demand. Along the
McGregor & Sioux City Railroad,
especially, an unusual quantity has
been put In rick, In anticipation of
an increased demand, while the road
Is being constructed. Farmers have
been unusually active, and we think.
have made ample provision for tho
demands of heavy immigration the
coming season. #... ....... .. ....
The potato, and vegetable crop gen.
orally. is veiy good /; but we heard
some complaint of potatoes rotting,
owing to the continued wet weather.
Some varieties, however, have entire
ly escaped, and there will be enough
to supply oil demands. State Regis

What Shall Temperance
a# Mon Do9 abe

a correspondent who says he has
belonged TO the Sons of Temperance
and Good Templars, and been famil-
lar with much good done by them,
still believes that vaster good may
be effected by different means and
other influences. Abiding to a re-
cent article by Hon. Henry Wilson
in the Congregdtionaiist, he .ays:
"Heartily do second the sugges.
tion Of That noble Christian states.
man. There occurs to me now an
instance of temperance society on
the plan he approves. 1t is in n viii
lage In iowa; the meetings are al.
ways open to every one, aud debates
are made q part of its exercises. In
the full of the moon lecturers from
abroad are listened to with pleasure
and rrodt. I'm the winter arc socia-
bles, I'm the summer, pic-nics, and
the result has been that nearly every
young man and woman In that local
ity has taken the pledge.
Open meetings, addresses and
public gatherings are doing much for
the cause Of temperance In various
parts Of young aud temperate Iowa.
The energy displayed 10y politicians
in engineering political parties can
be well adapted to this movement.
"The Young Mems Christian Asso-
cistions, now rapidly organizing in
every town i'm the State, are carrying
the principles of the temperance re-
form into every hamlet and dwelling
by first presenting the cross of Christ.
Right here let me most heartily en-
dorse the idea of "cvery church be-
coming n temperance society and
every pastor a temperance lecturer"
Add to this that we ought 10 do away
with the use of wine at the commu-
nion table. IL you flnd no reason
against the use Of wine in the Bible,
IL the theory Of some excellent men,
that the apostles used fermented
wine when they celebrated the
Lords Supper, be true, then because
there IL no such thing IA wine or pure
Juice of grapes now sold, but hell.
ish decoction of poisons, so labelled,
| urge that cold water be substituted.
Why not" or that the unfermented
Juice of the grape prepared by Chris
tian men or women expressly for this
purpose be so used. rr..r ... .-...
"The grand idea that temperance
and Christianity are too faithfully
co-workers TO be separated, once
fully adopted by the church, would
strengthen the hands of both. !
have read of the reformed drunkard
being plunged into delirum and death
by the fire given him at the commu-
nion table. / can not believe that
Christ or his apostles would for an
instant countenauce the practice of
partaking of what is now called wine
at that solemn supper in preference
to cold water-the beverage God first
gave to man. Think that il Is cling
ing with frightfnl tenacity to a literal
rendering of that Scripture, when a
more lasting good seems to call for n
more liberal rendering.
