We again rested for the night under the
hospitabie roof of friend Macomber. In the
morning we reconnoitered the premises in
search of fine stock. We found good and
commodious barns, large ricks of hay, and
some good colts, but nothing in the way Of
thoroughbreds except a pair Of Berkshire
pigs and it might be well to mention that
the splendid ham with which MI. MS table
is supplied was of his own raising.
From Crow creek to Warm springs a dis
lance of nine miles, lies rs fine a body of
agricultural land as can be found in Mon
tana. The warm springs are valuable prop
erty, affording about two hundred inches OF
water. at a temperature of zoe. This water
is utilized in summer for ~irrigating, and in
winter for running a quartz mill, for which
purpose it is just suited, being high enough
to secure good fall, and warm enough to
prevent its freezing.

A GRICU L Z i RAJ,
DIGNITY OF LABOR,


which will stir more hearts perhaps, than
any other. The knight of the mine, field
and forge, when a day of toll is ended, loves
to sit down by his freside, rude though it
may be, and read of the nobleness of his
b. calling But when it occurs to them that
those fine sentences that so much inspire
them with courage, are the product of some
brain that has known nothing but culture,
whose refinement and polish hold it's pos
SCISSOR aloof from calling it eulogizes. Yes,
when the man, injured to toll, reads by the
pale, tlickering light Of his candle, one of
those splendid productions penned beneath
the blaze of a brilliant chandelier, by man
of aff1uence, whose hands We're never hard
ened by toll, whose muscles and sinews have
never been brought into requisition to pro-
vide daily food; one who is acquainted only
with the theory of the subject. The glory
and comfort he was inclined to take dies
out, and in the language of Richlieu, he ex-
claims to himself we safe and formal man
who writes the deeds, and with unfeverish
hand weighs in nice scales the motives of
the great, how can ye know that which We
have never tried" He naturally concludes
that the poetic side of labor is on paper. 1t
very naturally occurs to him, and he asks him
self if the coarse meal Of the laborer is so
sweet, his couch so doWny, his slumbers
SO sweet and free from care, why these emf
nent lights of society never step forth to en-
joy it. In this age of progress, men are not
carried away by every syren song that
sounds mellodious to their ears, and the old
admonition of s'go on, boy, you are right
dies out upon the wind. He that would be
counselor to-day, must be a practical man,
and by deeds as well as words show forth
his faith. Writing is getting to be to much
of a profession. Men write beautiful things
because they are a source of praise to the
writer, and not because they in truth, feel
the wisdom of their utterances. The braWny,
hard-handled man of toll has at last learned
this, and cares not to read such windy COM
position. Hence, in our selections for our
readers, we shall endeavor to gather such
as comes from a source whose honesty of
purpose cannot be doubted; whom, we be-
lieve, have gained the knowledge of the
matters Of which they speak in actual con-
tests in the great battle of life.
The following address, delivered by Mat.
I. Rose, before Donneraille Grange, Ken
tucky, will be read with unusual interest,
coming as it does, from the rank of labor,
where mems acts belle not their words:
"At the solicitation of the members of
Donneraille Grange, I appear before you
this evening. I certainly appreciate the
high compliment you have paid me. have
no doubt that shall in the least meet the
expectations of my auditors. l recognize
IN this audience the chivalry and beauty of
the Blue Grass region. Women are here,

PROSPECTS IN MINNIE
sofa,

~
Having given the subject Of fruit culture
my especial attention for the past eight years,
and visiting most of the orchards in this
State and northern Iowa for the past four
years, will give your readers the benefit Of
some OF my dearly bought experience, and
what facts have gathered from the expert
ence OF others-some in remote parts of the
State. M
The winter of 1923 gave fruit growing
such heavy blow that it will take years to
recover from it. -
The question that now interests the pro-
ducing class Is, can fruit be profitably grown
Minnesota, or shall we depend upon wheat
and buying our fruit? Those who viii give
this subject little or no attention, had better
depend on the latter way of obtaining their
fruits of all kinds but the successful farmer
who will give his garden and orchard the
same careful attention and study that he does
his wheat and stock raising, will have the
satisfaction of growing an abundance of
fruit, including apples of fair size and quail
ity, lasting him the year through.
And all agree with me that Minnesota is
by nature fruit growing State in her own
way for no northern State excels her in
growing fine wild plums, crab apples, cram
berries, raspberries, ETC., or Walnuts, hickory,
and all hardy nuts, and why not apples?
Even Maine, Canada, Norway, and northern
Russia grow their own apples, and shall
Minnesota be counted out in this line?
That some of your readers may know that
| am in earnest in the discussion of this fruit
question, | will state at the outset that have
about seven thousand fruit trees in my or
chard, covering over a little more than twen-
ty-1ive acres, and unless [ meet with worse
mishap than the cold winter above referred
to, | shall cover forty acres with orchard,
believing that shall reap larger profits than
from the same capital invested in general
farm products.--E. B. Jordan, IN Rochester
Record.
We see no reason why the above will not
apply to Montana as well as to Minnesota,
Experiments thus far have proved equally
as successful as in the eastern States of our
latitude. The first experiments in Mime
sofa were attended with less success than
those i'll Montana, and it is highly probable
that it will prove a better fruit growing
country. Small fruit of every description
flourishes finely here, and where the expert
ment Of growing large fruit has been tried,
IN Bitter Root and Pasamari valleys, it has
proven the fact, beyond doubt, that with
proper care and attention, hardy fruit, such
as apples, plums, cherries, the Siberian crab,
etc., can be raised here. OF course, we must
not expect to raise fruit here without great
deal more trouble and care than would be
necessary in more favored sections.

An Anecdote Of Forrest.

The little old theater at Albany,
N. Y, has been made the scene of
many curious theatrical stories. On
one occasion Mr.. Edwin Forrest,
then a young man, and more fa-
nous 4or his muscle than his
genius, made a tremendous display
Of really powerful acting. He was
supposed to represent a Roman
warrior, and to be attacked by six
minions of a detested tyrant. At
the rehearsals Mr.. Forrest found a
great deal of fault with the supes
who condescended to play the min
ions. They we're too tame. They
didn't lay hold of him. They
wouldn't go in as if it were a real
fight. Mr.. Forrest stormed and
threatened; the supers sulked and
consulted. At last the captain Of
the supes inquired in his Local
slang: eyer want this to be q
bully fight, eh?" "I do" replied
Mr.. Forrest. GAIL right" rejoined
the captain, AID the rehearsal
quietly proceeded. In the evening
the little theater was crowded, and
Mr.. Forrest was enthua tically re,
ceiyed. When the fight g scene
occurred, the great tragediA1 took
the center Of the stage, and the n
minions entered rapidly and d..
ployed in skirmishing order. AT
the cue "Seize himw one minior
assumed pugilistic attitude, and
struck a blow straight from the
shoulder upon the prominent nose
Of the Roman hero; another raised
him about six inches from the
stage by a well directed kick, and
the others made ready to rush il
for decisive tussel. For momen-
| Mr.. Forrest stood astounded, hi
broad chest heaying with rage, hi
great eyes flashing fire, his sturdy
legs planted like columns upon thu
stage. Then came the few mo
ments of powerful acting, at tn,
end Of which one supe was seer
sticking head foremost in the bas,
drum in the orchestra, four wer
having their wounds dressed in tn,
greenroom, and one, finding him
self in the flies, rushed out upol
the roof Of the theater and shouted
" Firel" at the top of his voice
while Mr.. Forrest, called before tn
curtain, bowed his thanks pantingl,
to the applauding audience, VIII
looked upon the whole affair as par
of the piece, and chad never seel
Forrest act so splendidly."
