1hat our readers may know that even in a

lent feed for stocll-particularlv hoos.
Now, every one knows that a farmer in
the states could easily get rich raising hogs
OF 1t We're not for the cholera. In Montana
thls disease is unknown, and if hogs can be
successfully tattened on peas, as we believe
they can, we do not see why our farmers
cannot do we'll producing pork. Peas are a
sure crop and yield abundantly. Hogs are
exceedingly healthy, and bacon is always
mgh. 1t is retailing now at thirty-fve cents
per pound, and not year passes that it does
not reach twenty-five cents. If Montana
could produce her own supply of pork, ba-
con and lard, it would save thousands of
dollars to our people annually,

COLORADO BEFTLE-An old farmer gives
his experience with these pests as follows
" AS soon as | perceive the larvae have form
ed and commenced operations on the leaves
OF the potatoes, choose a dry day when
the top of the sol about the hills is drv and
dusty, commence at one end of the rows and
grasp handful the dust and throw it sharply
against, the tops which knocks off a large
number, and those that remain on the top
are so nicely busted that they will die from
the effects Of the dust; they are so moist the
dust sticks to them very readily. In few
days after first drsting look over the piece
again, and If any remain, dust them again.
and have no more trouble with them. 1t
don't take much time to go over an acre.
Let every farmer who is troubled with these
nasty things do this and we shall soon head
them off.

SOME APPLES OF a CENTURY.

Retrospective Investigations by laborers in
any branch of science or art, are often nee
essary in order to prevent them from becom-
ing too egotistical and confident in their real
or supposed advancement.
Our pomologists are not wholly free from
faint of self-laudation of their great pro-
gress, and while we are not disposed to check
enthusiasm, which tends to promote the
happiness or welfare of the masses or even
individuals, still it may not be amiss in this,
our Centennial year, to take retrospective
glance over the past century and note some
of the important changes which have taken
place in the production of certain kinds OF
fruits.
