Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-11-22

ANOTHER year has sped way to join the
departed ages, and we enter to-day upon our
pleasant task of compiling the third volume
Of the ROCKY MOUNTAIN H%UsBANDMAN.
Time gamers years as the husbandman
gathers the golden harvest; so thick and
fast do they come and hurry on, mature and
drop away, that though to us every moment
hour, day, week and month is so drawn out
in single file, like the path of the frontiers
man over the mountains wild or the pill
grimage of the Arab on Sahara's parching
sands, and so crowded with duties, we take
no thought of their going until the grand
round is made, and we pause to nerve our
selves anew ere we start on our toilsome
way once more.
The year which the Great Harvester has
just locked in the eternal past has been to us
u year of incessant toll and anxiety. The
first years existence of the HUsBANDMAN
was an experimental one. We knew that a
paper of its class was needed, and that a
Journal for the farm and fireside, the herds
man and shepherd, would find a liberal sup
port in Montana, but whether the HUSBAND
MAN was to be accepted as such remained to
be seen. Would it stand the test? was it
what the country demanded, and what the
people expectedS were some OF the trying
questions to he settled, and we are proud to
be say that the retention of our former list
of subscribers, with but a few exceptions
persons who never read any paper-and an
increased patronage, have answered these
questions in the affirmative. Yet, while we
are proud of this unqualified endorsement,
coming, as it does. from every valley and
neighborhood in Montana where the soil is
Tiled or the highlands pastured, we confess
that the paper is not what we design to
make it in the near future. But it APP
proaches as near to our ideal of perfection as
the present support will justify. But as our
country grows in wealth and population.
and our basis becomes more secure. we pro-
pose to eularge and improve it materially in
every department. ~
The volume just closed has contained
much that is OF interest, equaling in point OF
originality that of any other Journal in the
laAd. Our Home department has contained
many gems OF literature from good authors,
prepared especially for our columns; our
Agricultural, Live Stock. Dairy, Poultry.
Floral and Household departments have
been filled with the best information that
could be gathered from an exceeding wide
range, while our News department has been
fully up to the standard of journals Of its
class. Our correspondents have roamed
over me Black Hills country. explored the
region of the Big Horn, trayersed The valleys
of the Yellowstone, and followed the scenes
OF our Indian Wars throughout the Territory.
Besides these. our associate has been thrcl,gh
the Territory, visiting and giving 4 full ac-
seant of nearly every home and herd in our
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-11-22

principal valleys, and will continue until the
remotest farm house and stock ranch in the
Territory has been visited and described.
He. has also given IA full description of many
of the mines.
We have made the I~IUsBANDMAN a Terri
terial paper, devoting its columns alike to
the interests Of every section, and though
published at a wayside mountain town we
are surrounded by Il fine agricultural and
grazing region. and are near the centre of
the Territory, and it accOmplishes its pur-
poses as well as would be possible in any
other locality. Gu" local patronage has
greatly increased during the past year.
Though to-day our friends and patrons are
few in number compared to the population
of the county, yet they represent its entire
wealth and intelligence. They are not only
subscribers but earnest we'll wishers, and
by their deeds attest the faith that is i'm
them. Having cast our lines in their midst,
we will stay by them, laboring in their in
tcrests as best we may.
1t was our hope to have gained a sufficient
patronage by this date to warrant an en-
largement of our paper, but we find it i'm
practicable to do this. We hope. however.
that the time is not far distant when our list
will be sufficient to sustain an enlargement
to the size of the largest of the Territorial
papers. Meanwhile the interest of the sew
eral departments will be kept fully up to the
former status, and as we gain increased en-
enlargement SO shall each department be
improved.
The HUsBANDMAN enters upon its third
volume with bright hopes OF a long and USE
full career. The course marked out in the
beginning shall be faithfully pursued. We
promise a more earnest effort, if possible,
in behalf of the people, dealing fairly with
all men, fearlessly chronicling passing
faithfully adhering to facts, jealous
)y demonstrating all that is useful and good
a word OF line to mar the love and
beauty of the home and fireside free and
Independent, unbridfed by capital, unt1am-
meled by politics, relying solely upon merit,
knowing no law but justice, and bowling to
no shrine but duty.

Woman as Described by Various
French Authors.

Only he who has nothing to hope for from
a woman is truly sincere in her praise
Cdtdlam.
In everything that women write there
will be thousands of faults against grammar;
but also, to a certainty, always a charm
never to be found in the letters of men,
Madame dc Mdiatcaon.
Men can better philosophze on the human
heart, but women can read it bottcr.-F. r.
RosScdu.
1t is a universal rule, which, as far as
know, has no exception that great men
always resemble their mothers, who impress
their mental and physical mark upon their
sons.-lfjchclet.
A woman frequently resists the loves she
feels, but cannot resist the love she inspires.
--Madame Fee.
Love in woman's life is history in a
mans, an cpisodc.-Madame dc Staci.
There exists among women a secret tic,
like that among priests of the same faith.
They hate each other,yet protect each others
nterests.-Diderot.
No woman, even the most intellectual be-
lievcs herself to be decidedly homely.-Stahl.
Great and rare heart-ollGrings are found
almost exclusively among women; nearly
all the happiness and most blessed moments
in love are of their creating, and SO also in
friendship, especially when it follows love-
DuclOs.
Providence has so ordained it that only
two women have a true interest in the hap
piness of o man-his own mother and the
mother of his children. Besides these two
legitimate kinds of love, there is nothing be-
tween the two creatures except vain excite
ment, painful and idle delusion.- Octauc
FeuiAet.
Most of their faults women owe to us
whilst we are indebted to them for most Of
our better qualities
