MANY of our fHf'' nnds think we have sheep
on the brain because we speak in such high
terms of wool-grewing. Our reasons for SO
doing, are simply the figures we are able to
show, and Figures won't lie" But, lest
they should we can produce tacts-which
are stubborn th~ings-to substantiate our
assertion in regard to the profits in sheep
h%usbandry: About the last of September
two years ago, the Smith Bros. went to Ida
no and invested S $500 in sheep. They ar
rived upon their ranch on Smith river late
in the fall of the same year with 9OO head.
In the spring of '7G they received pl2,oo
net for their wool clip. This years wool
clip would have sold in Helena for $4,000
net, but they ship to Boston and will re-
ceive over this amoun within the next two
weeks. Thus in twenty-five months they
will have received a return of $4,000 cash
from the $500 invested. Beside their
flock now numbers 2,700, Ms?'ch alone is
worth $4,000. They could be cashed at
these figures any day. What would a man
go at to beat this? what legitimate business
will excel it? Where else in the land can a
man find such a lucrative and paying bust
ness, and one, too, attended with such little
risk. Verify, the sheep husbandry OF Mon
tana challenges. the world.

INDIAN TROUBLES.

Though the excitement of the Indian out
break has quieted down a little, the danger
now is as great as it has been since the
trouble commenced. The distribution of
the arms among the farmers has given
them q better hope of defense, and since the
busy season requires them at home, they
have returned to their labor.
The news re ceived here this evening from
Portland, has been confirmed by news
through Indian reporters from the north.
The mail carrier arrived from Horse Plains.
a valley forty-tiye miles north of the Igna-
titus mission this evening, and states that
an lnaun had just reached there from the
Spokane country and reported that there
was 4 large body of Indians on the Spokane.
When asked if they were going to join in
the wal, they SAID they did not know, but
sald they We're coming that way. The citi-
zens OF Horse Plains are anxious to procure
arms. If Joseph makes a successful fight

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HUSBANDMAN.

rurniny to the left we took a lane winch
,oa ne between two green fields of waving
grain. one owned by Mr.. G. Gof' ana Tic
other the property of Z. IL. Fla'''s'''
whose nleasant home is out near tue ioo'-
hills. ...s ". i.'..
Further on to the left we passed Mr.. "A
pntar,s farm. His dwelling is located upon
an elevated land, while his large helds OF
or,in cover the slope and extend INTO the
level plain.
Next mon our route was the house OF
Mr. w. B, Harlan, where we passed the
evening very pleasantly. Mr.. Ii. has SUI
fered considerably from the grasshoppers'
his crop, except a field of peas and some
late oats, being totally destroyed. LAX
MANY others of his %neighbors, his main rell-
,nce for an income this season will be from
ha; on and the manufacture of cheese. a bus
mess which he thoroughly understands, IL
is engaged in to a considerable extent.
Leaving MIR. Harlan's We travelled up
along the foothills. calling first upon Mr.
R. Parkhurst, whom we found to be a cleV-
or bachelor, with a good farm and plenty
of property around him. His crops are on
" partially destroyed. He is preparing TO
build a new dwelling and fix up to live COM
Portable.
Next above here we halted at the home Of
Mr.. j. L. Humble, who has a pleasant home
and a good farm, but has been completely
eaten out by the 'hoppers. In company
with Mr.. H. we took a stroll out into the
field and investigated the %grasshopper bust
ness and the wonderful destruction of these
pests by the fly. The fly is about the color
of the common house fly, but is a little
larger. The way it operates to destroy the
hopper is by depositing a living egg, very
small. but much the shape and near the size
of a skipper or maggot. When the hopper
raises from the ground the fly alights upon
him and deposits from one to three of these
little parasites, who appear to be alive and
squirming when deposited, aud cling ON to
the hopper as destined tor the business.
Finally they penetrate into the hopper
where they live and grow fat by eating the
e~ntrails. By the time they have eaten out
the hopper inside they have grown into the
shape OF a grub or worm. Meanwhile the
hopper becomes weakened and dumpish
and finally gives up his life, and about the
same, time the worm or grub pops out OF
the 'hopper's back, sheds off its gray coat
and spreads out it's wings-a full grown tiy,
the image of its sire, who nine days ago de-
posted it on the choppers wing OR back,
and has since then done the same deed to
perhaps a hundred more 'hoppers. In
some of them we found three of these grubs
gnawing at their vitals. The flies appear to
be composed solely of a perfect mass OF
maggots. We inspected quite a number
of them with a glass, and found
them to contain from sixty to one hundred
of these living mites, and left MIR. II. in
dnlging the hope that the day of these
pests is short, and that the brown fly is fast
destroying them. On Mr.. Humble's farm,
which IS a complete desert, we noticed a
quantity Of dead 'hoppers. WILL.

UP THE BITTER ROOT VALLEY.


UP THE BITTER ROOT VALLEY.
The Bitter Root river, over which we
crossed on the morning of the 25th, upon
the magnificent trestle bridge which spans
that stream four miles below Stevensville, is
the prettlest of the many beautiful streams
in the Rocky Mountains. Its general course
is a little west of north, running between
two lofty mountain range cutting i'll two
the garden spot of Montana-the Bitter
Root valley. Its waters are clear blue,
pure and fresh, as if newly made, never
having been stained by blood shed upon it,
or riled by an unfriendly touch of the mi
ner's pick. This valley was the first in the
Rocky Mountains to be settled by white
men, and many of the oldest settlers still re-
main here. St~evensville, the principal town
in the valley, has two stores, a hotel, Hack-
smith shop, and a saloon. Arriving at that
place we halted for dinner, and while there
paid a visit to old Fort Owen, where. we
met a number of citizens who were busily
engaged in rebuilding the broken adoba
walls and arranging the place for a better
protection against the Indians. The Fort
is 25Ox3OO feet inside, with two bastions and
heavy gates at the north and south ends,
with several houses adjoining the walls on
the inside. The walls which are built of
adobes are about Is feet high, and when re-
nodded will be a safe of protection to three
or four hundred citizens. 1t was built in
1852 by Major Owen tor a place of rendez-
vous for the few white settlers. Messrs.
Thos. Harris and John Silverthorn, who are
now prosperous farmers in this section as
sisted in its erection.
Near the old Fort is the old Flathead mis-
sion. The old Mission Touring mill, the
first mill that was ever erected in this Ter
itory occupies a conspicuous place upon
the plain near by. 1t is now the property
of w. j. Mccormick, of Missoula.
Below Stevensville, above the bridge, are
