Dor Of churning. Corrals, sheds, stables,
poultry house, pastures, etc., about the farm
are all arranged with q view to convenience
and comfort. MIR. e. is also engaged in
wool-growing. His sheep ranch is located
seven miles north of Deer lodge, on the Lit
tie Blackfoot. His flock of 500 head was in
creased this season by 600 lambs. Among
the number We're ninety pairs of twins. Mr..
q. has no scab in his flock, but dips every
year. always using tobacco. He is a practi-
cal breeder and studies the business closely.
He thinks that the cross Of Cotswold bucks
with Merino ewes will not prove successful.
The Meriilo is too strongly inclinedto FREEDOM
mate, and combing woods are always ready

woods, besides the long wool sheep are easier
and more successfully raised in this country.
Friday morning we visited Con Kohrs'
ranch in the suburbs of Deer Lodge CITY.
MI. Kohrs is one Of the mosteXtensive stock
dealears in our Territory. He has about g.
coo head of stock on his Sun River ranch.
He has a herd Of beeves on the road to the
eastern market, numbering over SUI head,
and was to start another herd aboutthe same
size OF the 10th Of July. Mr.. X. is driving
this season from two-year-olds up. He
showed us some very fine thoroughbred COWS
and calves, one bull being all he has on his
home place. He has forty-seven pure breeds
in all, twenty-five Of which are bulls run
ming with his Sun River herd. lie holds
to the principle now that the best bulls
should be kept as breeders.
Leaving Mr.. Kolirs, we proceeded to Hell
ena. 1t rained from noon on us al the way,
making it very disagreeable. On top of the

could almost cut them with 4 knife.

WARM SPRINGS from which place we wrote
last, is near the middle of the Upper valley,
twenty-one miles from Deer Lodge. A sol
itary mound rising to such a height as to be
visible in the valley around marks the spot.
From the top Of this the country around
looks more beautiful than ever. This mound
was formed by the sediment Of the strong
mineral water as it boiled up and tucked
down on all sides. The water does not flow
out at the top of the hill now, but a couple
of other mounds near the base of this time
honored c%entinel are undergoing the show
progress of erection. The formation con-
tains a large per cent. of iron. There is a
tradition Of this spot located in the days OF
Lewis and Clarke, a story of misplaced con-
fidence of a broken heart, etc.
Near the springs is a large hotel for the
accommodation of invalids and travellers.
Leaving the Springs we proceeded to Nor
gan Evans farm, about five miles to the
southwest. Mr. e. has a good location, is
largely engaged in stock, and usually raises
an extensive crop of grain. This season he
sowed 100 acres, but the 'hoppers have left
him only about half of it. Mr.. T.. has a
good little Touring mill, situated out in the
open valley convenient to approach.
The waters of Mill creek are caught up in
a flume and carried a few hundred feet, and
a drain race of the same length, gives a
fall which produces thirty horse power to

THE raising OF swine seems to be a brancl

'tion of farmers generally. Now, it doe.
seem to us-and we were raised on hog ant
~hominy-that there is no country where tIi:
product can be made more profitable thar
question is, can they be produced anything
like as cheap here as in the States? We
claim that they can clover, particularly,
and that species known as alfalfa does well
here. Potatoes also yield enormously and
make good hog feed, while peas are thought
to be as good as corn, and produce as many
bushels to the acre as corn in any of the
Western States. And our pea crop is in no
wise injured by %grasshopper raids. Hogchol-
era is entirely unknown; hence, when grain
crops have persisted before the devouring
raid Of 'hoppers, a few acres of peas, a doZ-
en- or so fine porkers fattening on n small
pasture, has something of a fair prospect in
it for a good living. We have an abiding
faith in Montana as a country for the pro-
duction of hogs, and certainly think our
farmers would find it remunerative to engage
in the business on a more extensive scale.
IT SEEMS as though our breeders of fine
stock were slow to learn the advantages Of
a livestock Journal. They certainly know,
if they understand their business at all, that
Of all things'else there is nothing that goes
farther towards Introducing high-grade and
thoroughbred stock than a good journal de-
voted to that interest. All our farmers are
willing to admit the superior advantage of
growing the best quality of stock, but unless
they have the matter continually brought
before them, they are apt to continue in the
same old way. But strange to say, our
Montana breeders seem wholly Indifferent
about the matter.
There is not another journal of the rank
and class of the HUsBANDMAN, in all the
United States, but contains a dozen or so Of
stock breeders cards. The steady and
growing demand for good stock-pure breeds
of all kinds-ee certainly think would in
duce those who make the business a special
ty to avail themselves of the superior advan-
tages of our advertising columns. Besides,
our Montana breeders should feel some in
terest in the welfare Of their paper, and
should contribute something towards its
in as much as their own business
will rise or fall with It's fortunes. Then,
will our breeders send us in their cards ?
They will find by reference to our advertis-
rates that they are not exhorbitant.
They are not in advance OF a number of the
first-class journals Of the east; besides it is
d duty they owe to themselves, to their bus
mess and the country, and we hope to hear
from some Of our friends soon.

Modern Women.

1t is a sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization that the women of our times have
degenerated in health and physique until
they are literally a race of invalids-pale,
nervous, feeble and back-achy, with only
here and there a few noble exceptions in the
persons of the robust, buxom ladies char
acteristic of the sex in days gone by. By a
very large experience, covering a period of
years, and embracing the treatment of many
thousands of cases of those ailments peculiar
to women, DIR. Pierce, of the Worlds Dis.
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has perfected, by the
combination of certain vegetable extracts,
a natural specific, which he does not extol
as a c~ure.all, but one which admirably full
fills a singleness of purpose, being a most
positive and reliable remedy for those weak
nesses and complaints that afaict the women
of the present day. This natural specific
compound is called DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. The following are among those
diseases in which this wonderful medicine
has worked cures as if by magic and with a
certainty never before attained by any medi-
cines: Weak back, nervous and general de-
bility, falling and other displacements Of in
ternal organs, resulting from debility and
lack of strength in natural supports, inter

The 3 QUESTION.

lNeW 1ork Grapn1c.l
1t is sweet to see the benign humility
of General Rain-in-the-face of the Sioux
nation, in leaving the battle field on the
Little Big Horn, and starting with fifty
other braves to come right into the
agency to get something to eat and to
have their haversacks and canteens
filled. There is a childish confidence in
this not often met with outside of in
fancy. and a forgiving disposition not
looked for among mere pagans. History
records few instances of such beautiful
resignation. When it is remembered
that this chief of the moistened counte-
nance was one of the leaders of the Sioux
at the slaughter of Custer and his men,
and that he is reputed to be the very n
who cut out Tom Clusters heart and
otherwise mutilated his body, it is evil
dent that he ought to have an enthusi-
astic reception. Seriously, the almost
incredible report that this odious chief
is now visiting his old agency and claim
ing his rights brings up the whole ques-
ton, "What is to be done with the
Sioux when they are capturedf 1t is
evident that they can not be tried and
hung for murder, because Custer and his
men were killed in understanding to
the claws of war" which prevailed in
the successful "nation." The hostile
Indians can not be exterminated unless
they be slain regularly in battle, for
troops set at the business of numbering
prisoners and slaughtering women and
children would be only fit for extermin-
alton themselves when they had finished
the job. Our prisoners of war, however
red their hands or numerous their car
mine feathers, can not be killed. The
wal is of our own breeding, and we can
dispose of the hostile sayages only by
capturing and compelling them to cease
to be vagabonds, take claims, go to work
and become self-supporting.

While in Buffalo / visited one of the
banks, the cashier of which I had known
when he was a resident of Liverpool.
As I was talking with him, a small, thin
man passed out of the bank. Said the
cashier: "Did you notice that slim little
mar that just went out3 Mol Well, let
me tell you about him. That man
about this time every week, comes to
deposit a few dollars, which are placed
to the credit of the---Insurance
Company. Last year he had an Office in
a building that was insured for fifteen
thousand dollars, about all it was worth.
One day, as he was about to leave his
Office, he happened to drop some fire
from his cigar into a basket of waste
papers near his desk. Half an hour after
he had gone the building was ablaze, and
somehow the origin of the fire was
traced to the room he left. Now, what do
you think? Why that man is saving
every cent he can get and putting it here
to reimburse the insurance company,
because it was through his absence of
mind that they had to pay for the
burned building. He may never get
enough to cover the whole amount but
he is doing what he can. Now that's
what some of us would call internal fool
ishness. / call it honesty"

Gen. W. 7. Sherman, Commanding Q. s. A.:
SIR: The House of Representatives of
the United States, on the 10th inst, passed
WHEREAS, The right of suffrage pre-
scribed by the Constitutions of the several
States is subject to the 18th Amendment of
the Constitution of the United States, which
is as follows:
"ARTIcLE Is, SKcTIoN 1. The right of
citizens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State On account of race,
color, or previous condition of servitude.
"SRC. 2. Congress shall have the power
to enforce this Article by appropriate legis-
ton.
WHEREAS, The right of suffrage, SO pre-
scribed and regulated, should be faithfully
maintained and observed by the United
States and the several States and the citi-
Gems thereof; and,
"WHERKAs, It is asserted that the right
of suffrage is, in some of the States, not
withstanding the efforts of all good citizens
to the contrary, resisted and controlled by
fraud, intimidation and violence, SO that in
such cases the object of the amendment is
defeated; and
WHEREAS, All citizens. without distinc-
ton OF race, or class, or color, are entitled
to the protection conferred by such article;
therefore, be it
"ResoEued, By the House of Representa-
tives, that all attempts by force, fraud, ter
ror, intimidation, or otherwise, to prevent
the free exercise of the right of suffrage in
any State, should meet with certain, condign,
and effectual punishment; and that, in any
case which has hithertofore occurred, or
that may thereafter occur, in which violence
or murder has been, or shall be, committed,
by one race or class upon the other, the
prompt prosecution and punishment OF the
criminal, or criminals, in any Court having
Jurisdiction, is imperatively demanded,
whether the crime be one punishable by fine
or imprisonment, or one demanding the PEN

Use,pul information.

Rural NeD Yorker: We have heard
from several persons, all living in the
same district-one in which fever and
ague prevails-that nutmegs, from three
to six, according to the age of the indi-
vidual, strung about the neck so as to
rest upon the stomach, are used as a pro-
lection against this insidiousv vile disease.
LAUGH at a cheese diet as you will,
Prof. Peck says that in this country,
where cheese is used least, it requires one
physician to every five hundred persons,
and in Switzerland and foreign coun-
tries, where it is used most, it only re-
quires the practice of one physician for
ten thousand persons.
EVERY little while we read of some
one who has stuck a rusty nail in his
foot OF some other part of his person, and
lockjaw has resulted therefrom. All
such wounds can be healed without any
fatal consequences following them. The
remedy is simple: 1t is only to smoke
such wound, or any wound or bruise
that is infiamed, with burning wool or
wooden cloth. Twenty minutes in the
smoke of wool will take the pain out of
the worst case of Inflammation arising
from any wound we ever saw.
A NE1GHBoR of mine (says a correspon-
dentofthe Rural Home recently informed
me that he had lost a most valuable
horse by a casualty by no IA uncom-
mon. A knowledge of a simple remedy
would have prevented this loss. The
horse trod upon a nail which entered his
foot. Lameness followed, the nail was
extracted, but lockjaw s~upervened, re-
sulting in death. An unfailing remedy
in such cases is muriatic acid. If, when
a nail is withdrawn from a horses foot,
the foot should be held up and some
muriatic acid be poured into the wound,
neither lameness nor lockjaw need be
feared. Why the iron should have the
effect which it frequently has, and the
rationale of the above remedy, I am mn
able to explain; but of the certainty Of
the conuteraction of disease by this per
fectly safe application, 1 am well con-
WINGED.

This ration would probably give a
better result for butter or milk than the
previous formula would give for beef.
But that is not saying much.
These three samples of feeding are
from three different countries. But It'll
very doubtful whether the margin OF
profit will be found satisfactory in the
case of either. And yet it is evident
that in each case the formula might be
SO modified as to improve the result, by
making it more profitable.
This point is worth examining, for it
is very certain there is no question in
agriculture more vital and important
than the question of feeding for profit.
