Let our farmers rush their work along as
the weather will permit. When all is done
in the field then comes the work of repair
ing stables, sheds and corralls, and with
many there is necessity of building new
ones. The long, open fall that is usual in
Montana afford excellent opportunities for
building barns, improving dwellings and
making ready generally for the cold winter
weather.

A MISTAKE occurred in the editorial arti-
sic upon winter wheat which appeared in
cur last issue. In the sentence: 'sThe
chief advantage our fall wheat has over that
soun In the spring is that it starts as early
as the season will permit and usually is too
far advanced to be destroyed by grass"
substitute for the last word, "grass," the
word 'grasshopper," and you will have the
i1ea intended to be given.
Rocky Mountain husbandman., 1876-09-21

OWING to the frequent rains of the past
month, our farmers have been kept unusual
~ busy haying and harvesting, as the inter-
walls of dry weather would permit, and, as
the fall advances, their days of leisure will
grow fewer and further between, until win
ter sounds her unWelcome blast and frozen
winds sweep down from the Arctics and
wrap our land in snow. The delays caused
by the rainy weather arc very damaging, to
say nothing Of the vast amount Of hay that
has. been injured and totally lost. Time is
money, and at no season is it more valuable
than in the tall Of the year. After the grain
has been harvested, threshed and garnered,
comes the usual preparations necessary for
winter. Those who do not practice sum
lner following must do their TALL ploWing.
The hindrances i'll consequence of the sea-
son, we fear, will greatly lessen the amount
Of plowing this fall, which is liable to tell
npon our next years crop; for the reason
that nothing is more important in tile spring
than TO have the land already prepared to
receive the seed. 1t enables the farmer to
get his crops in early, and the earlier the

with grasslloppers' eggs, the better stand it
will get, and the less it will be endangered
by the marching hordes that come down
fiom the mountain slopes, or the swift
winged legions which fill the air in July.
The 'hoppers have not deposited their
eggs this season, except in few localities,
aud We are in hopes that in another season
our Territory will be entirely free from these
pests, yet it's well to lake every precaution.

THERE is perhaps no country in America
where newspapers receive better patron
age than in Montana, and this fact has led
to the conclusion that we have truly read
Ing people. But, of late, we are beginning
to have serious doubts as to whether the
people of Montana, taken as a class, read
any more than the average of Of other coun-
tries. They are very liberal and subscribe
for many of the Territorial papers, but
rnany-yery many, issues are laid aside
without being read. Now, we are satisfied
that there are none of our farmers taking
too many papers, provided they are able to
pay for what they get, but we are of the
opinion that a few papers, well read, are
much better than many, not read at all.
It's getting to be too much of practice
with many Of our people to take up paper,
the principal articles, then throw the paper
aside and declare that there is nothing in it.
10 this class Of readers, the Wal1eful hours
passed in the sanctum by the editor labor
ing over long leaders upon the current top
It's, while the remainder Of the busy world is
st rest, are spent in vain. ALI attempts to
reach this class are unavailing-lne upon
line may be written to no purpose. We
would say to such that it were far better to
save their money than waste it thus.
1t is an easy matter for an editor, when he
meets subscriber, to be able to tell whether.
On not he reads his paper. We would not
discourage anyone in the habit of taking pa
pers, but would like to insist upon their
adopting the habit Of reading what they do
take. For it is often the case that paperis
condemned by persons who have not the
daintest idea of what it contains. But why
apeak more on this subject. Those who
read II are not the persons to whom it is adj
dressed, and the class of subscribers alluded
to will pass it over unnoticed.
To take good, first-class Journal and pay
for it is one thing, to read and profit by its
teachings is another. Let our farmers and
miners utilize the hours now spent in idle
gossip by reading carefully what their pa
pers contain, and profit BY the information
gained

BIGLICK TOWNSHIP.

BIGL1CR TOWNSHIP. June 5th, 1876.
Ed. JEFF: The farmers have begun
to plough corn. They find the weeds
have got a pretty good start and they
will have to labor diligently to eradi-
cate them. The farmers are getting
the sulky corn ploughs, and think they
can do better with them. The clover
hay will be ready to cut next week
1t is pretty good all over the country.
The flax looks very good. The farm
ers want it to be good for they had a
good deal of work to get the ground
in order for it. Some think FAX is hard
on the ground but nevertheless it pays.
The farmers are getting discouraged to
think that the wheat crop viii be to-
tai failure, and some say they viii quit
raising wheat. Some sheep have been
clipped and the wool il ready for the
market. The apple crUp will not be
as good as was expected when the trees
were i'm bloom. There will not be
more than Que apple in forty blossoms
but guess there will be enough to eat
and make little cider. The weather
is cool and pleasant at present.
