Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1878-06-13

The young man, w. S. Brown, who is
now confined in our county Jail on the
charge of theft, has lived on the Missouri
valley for three or four years has the rep
utation of being a good work hand, reliable,
we'll educated, and has heretofore borne the
reputation of honesty, and the present in
stance seems to be the result of a brain
craised by liquor and his great desire for a
spree more than any desire for ill-gotten
gains. He has always sacrificed his earn
ings at the shrine of Baccus, and to this un-
quenchable thirst hesowes his present mis-
fortune. Having: been in Diamond in COM
pany with Mr.. Sullivan, his employer, start
eel home armed with two bottles of whisky
and finding himself alone before reaching
there with $1O5 of Mr.. Sullivan's money in
the wagon, the temptation to go OF a big
drunk-now fairly ~begun-was too great.
So he turned aside to a neighbours house,
unhitched his team, borrowed a saddle,
mounted one Of the horses and struck out
for Helena, .At Canyon Ferry he saw a
chance toiincrease his capital stock $40 by
trading horses, with Capt. Stafford, and he
did so and'proceeded to Helena where he
continued on his ''high horse" until arrest
ed by Sheriff Fleming the following day.
He had $50 still, and when asked why he
did not lfitle it, said '.IfI had had sense
enough ito hide it I would have known
enough to thave let it alone, in the first
place. His bond was set at $500, but as he
has neither property nor friends, will per
haps remain in Jail until the fall term Of
court. Let the young man who is ~cultivat
ing a desire for strong drink take warning,
lest in an evil hour the same misfortune
should oNertake him.

Mr.. Cook is one Of the CookBros., the shepherd

accomplished young lady from his native town.
May the love which has grown from q little spark
kindled in bygone years, surviving the blight Of
time, the chill of absence, and eliminating in their
happy'union, never die, but grow more endearing
still, shedding sunshine and happiness in every
nook and corner as theyjourncy on in life's uneven
way, and be a beacon light to their tottering foot
steps as they draw near to the shores of eternity.

The bonanza recently found by Kellogg
& Burns is proving richer every day Of its
development. A few days ago l. |. Lewis
bought a one-third interest in it, and after
making a few assays, he bondedit, agreeing
to take the lode at a stated price, placing
the forfeit at ST. 1000. Since then, however,
Messrs, Kellogg & Burns have continued
the development by stripping the surface a
distance Of forty feet. The lead when first
found was but six inches wide, but showed
free gold. At the place they are now sink
inging it is full three feet wide and is all
good paying ore. The ore is beng sacked
and sold to the First National Bank at from
5000 to $500 per ton. We learn, however,
that much of the choice rock assays 5000
and upwards per ton The discoveries have
decided to pay Mr.. Lewis the forfeit and re-
tanned their interests. The name OF the
lead is " Deer,'' and its wealth bids fair to
prove equal to, if not better than Vestel's
Pen0bscot.

Nash Court.

The most interesting event of the
week was the address of Col. Polk,
Commissioned of Agriculture. He
spoke to a large crowd in the court
house on Tuesday. His remarks were
well calculated to inspire the farmers
with renewed confidence. He eX-
planned the advantages of the AgricuI-
tural Department, and showed the
good effects already visible from its
workings. Every one who heard him
went away with a higher opinion of
his native State, and convinced that a
better day is in store for us if the farm
ers will only strive to make home sup
plies and develop the vast of
their State. When this was done, I'M
migration would pour into our borders
labor and wealth and the Old North
State would become the Empire State
of the South. He referred to the
efforts of his Department to have
the products of the State on eX-
hibition at the Worlds Exposition at
send up Immediately anything in the
way of farm products, which would
be forwarded without expense.
lie said the outside world knew COM
paratively but little of the great natu-
raj advantages of North Carolina. and
1T was one of the main objects of the
Agricultural Department with the help
of the people to show what a great
State We had.
On the subject Of the fence law. Col.
F., took strong ground in favor of a
no fence law IN the old counties where
a large proportion OF the land is under
cultivation and adduced manv facts
and figures to sustain the position. He
also urged the Importance and neces-
sIty OF devOting more care to sheep
husbandry and favored the passage Of
a strict law against dogs.
Judge Watts amused a good crowd
at the court house Tuesday night with

cotton, and of the following varieties
of woods Poplar, white oak, red oak,
ash, dogwood, cypress, hickory, elm,
holly, maple and pine. This is an en-
tirely voluntary contribution by Mr..

Let all true friends of our good old
State, send in to the Commissioner
specimens of the products of their
counties, and thus assist to show what
a goodly land we possess. 1t does not
cost you a cent. Send to Col. Polk for

Questions and Answers.

l.. W., Yancey county.-Will you
please inform me where | ear get
chufas and golden millet seeds: !
presume / could get them in Wash
ington, but | prefer to buy them in my
own State if | can.
Answer.-We have specimens of
each from several counties IN the State
In our museum. and although this same
enquiry has been published in the
FARMER AND MECHANIC, and a request
made for those having them to sell to
make it known none are advertised.
Again we ask, are there no chufas and
golden millet seeds for sale in the
State:
j. f. w, of Duplin county.-What
kind of cotton is the variety you sent
to our museum?
He answers-"I 1t is known as Wool
cotton" and is grown t. very limited
extent in our county"
IN. II. ~. LIZ Sdld" I'd NOulllN-"Su
you tell me where | can get good seed
of the golden millet: | was badly de
ceived in purchasing last year, but
have not lost my faith in its value as a
forage plant.
Answer-We presume from the ex-
tent and success of this crop last year
that there are thousands of bushels for
sale in the State, but repeated calls
have failed to ascertain where the seed
are. If our own people will not adver-
tise them you will have to go to those
who do. The farmers of Cabarrus and
some other counties We're imposed
upon last year, as you were. Buy seeds
only from reliable men.
