THE OWNERS OF THE SOIL.

The man who stands on his own soil, who.
feels that by the laws Of the land in which.
he lves-by the laws of civilized nations
he is the rightfl,l and exclusive owner OF the
land which he tills, is, by the constitution of'
our nature, under Il wholesome Influence
not easily i,nbibed from any other source.
He feels, other things being. equal, more
strongly than any other the character OF
man as lord of the inaninate world. OF
this great and wonderful sphere. which,
fashioned by the hand of God and upheld
by His power, is rolling through the hea-
vens, a part is his-his from earth to sky. 1t
is the space in which the generation before
him moved in its round Of duties, and he
feels himself connected by visible link with
those who are to follow him, and to whom
he is to transmit home. Perhaps his farm
has come down to him from his fathers.
They lfave gone to their last home, but ne
can trace their footsteps over the scenes OF
his daily laDoss. The roof that shelters
him was raised by those to whom he owes
his being. Some interesting domestic tradl-
ton is connected with every inclosure. Iae

ufe would be somewhat difficult to follow
by the farmers OF Central Montana. from
the fact that they have not as vet succeeded
in the culture OF corn to asufiicient pertec-
ton to be used in this manner. This, how
ever, Is more from their own negligence
than from any other cause.
The smaller fruits, such rs currants, rasp-
berries, b]ackberres and gooseberries can
be grown upon any farm in Montana, and it
is indeed strange that the people of Central
Montana have lived so long in want of the
excellent table luXuries so easy to be obtain
ed. OF the varieties which can recon-
mend, the Dayidson's Thornless, Black CAP,
Red, and Thirstine Red Raspberries the
kittatiny and Dorchester Backberries, and
Houghton's Annual Seeding Gooseberries,
are the best. These fruits grow and begin
to bear the second year, but are best at the
age Of four or tsre years. Their cultivation
is easy. Plant them in dry land, and keep
the ground moist through the growing sea-
son, and they will grow and produce berries
that, when once you have them;. will be All
luxury for the table. Messrs.
Elijah Chat1in, w. f. Bass & Bro, and
number Of other progressive farmers of Mis-
soua county, raise bushels of these berries
i'll their gardens every year, and besides hav
ing some for market they preserve enough
Tor table use the year round.
OF strawberries the Wilson'S Albany and
Jacunda have proven best. They flourish
well and yield largely. The frst-naned is
best for shipping, but is not as fine a berry
as the Jncunda. The latter grows very
large, and is the richest favored of any l
have seen. The cultivation of strawberries
is simple and easy. Set them out in long
rows, about three teet apart; pillow and cul-
tivste the first year as you would corn. AZ
ter the first year, DO nothing with them ex-
cept to cut out and pslM the largest weeds.
The Bass Bros. plow up and destroy their
strawberries at the end OF every four years.
They so manage us to planta certain amount
of neW>sets every year, and to destroy the
same amount of old ones. The vine usually

It Don't Pay.

The following, from the Newark Daily
Advertiser, has some wholesome truths
which it would be well for all classes Of
citizens to ponder:
1t don't pay to have fifty Workingmen
poor and ragged in order to have one sa-
loon keeper dressed in broadclOth and
flush of money
1t don't pay to have the mothers and
children OF twenty families dressed in rags
and starved into semblance of embodied
scarecTows and living in novels in order
that the saloon keepers wife may dress
III satin, and her children grow fat and
hearty, and live in bay-window parlor
1t don't pay to have citizens in the
county jail because another citizen sold
him liquor.
1t don't pay to have ten smart, active
and intelligent boys transformed into
hoodlums and thieves, to enable one
man to lead an easy life by selling them
liquor.
1t don't pay to give one man, for SD
quarter, d license to sell liquor, and then
spend 100000 on the trial of Tim Me
Laughlin for buying that liquor and then
committing murder under its influence.
1t don't pay to have one thousand homes
blasted, ruined, defilcd and turned into
bells OF disorder and misery in order that
one wholesale dealer may amass large
fortune.
. 1t don't pay to keep six thousand men
IN the penitentiaries and hospitals, and
one thousand in the lunatic asylum at the
expense of the honest, industrious tax
payers, in order that few rich capitalists
may grow richer by the manufacture of
whiskey.

Wise Sayings by Josh Billings.

A HUMBUG is like a bladder; don't
amount to much until it is blown up,
and then, like a bladder, one prick of a
pin lets all the importance out of it.
Genius hits the bulrs-eye the first
time, if it hits it at all. Talent hits it
by long practice.
I don't suppose there is an absolutely
necessary man now living ON the face
of the earth, but you can hardly find
one but what thinks he is the man.
Laughing is said to be weakness,
but the wisest men ever knew were
always on the lookout for a good laugh.
All the great truths are the most
simple, just as simple as twice one are
two.
The real true friend is the one who
tells you of your failings, but hides them
from everybody else.

Romance In America.

Who says there is no romance in
practical America? Who says that the
days of chivalry and love-making are
gone, and that this is a world of ledgers
and blue stockings? Why, the ex-
change table shows: (a) that romance
begins early, for Chicago lad of four
teen eloped, last week, with a sweet
little miss of thirteen; (b) that it gets
on fast, for a dashing naval officer pro-
posed to Washington belle last Tues
day, was accepted on Wednesday and
married on Saturday; (c) that it is
numerous, for a woman in Coventry,
Conn.,, swears that, like the good wife
in Chaucer's tale, she has had seven
husbands, and that they have annoyed
her all her life by turning up after she
had every reason to suppose that they
had been hanged as pirates or carried
off by smallpox; (d) that it is exceed
ingly uncertain, for "Clara," of West
field, Mass, broke the engagement the
moment she heard that her betrothed
had been bitten by mad dog, on the
ground that it would be unsafe to marry
man who might have the hydro
phobia; (e) that it is never too late for
it: for a misery farmer in Massachu-
sets, who confessed his seventy-third
year. hired his neighbours son to find a
wife for him, insisting that she must be
young and pretty, and the agent
brought to the venerable widower an
engaging lass of seventeen, who, rather
than work out for a living, protested
her willingness to marry him, and to
inherit his money in the sweet by and
by; but the marriage has cost old Janu-
airy dearly, for, beside the commits
sions charged by the neighbours son,
he has had to give his daughter, who
was little Mays senior by eight years,
5000 outright before she would con-
sent to leave his roof and allow him to
enjoy his honeymoon.-M. Y. Tribune.
