NOW that the winter season has come
and the farmer has time to look about him.
hend up his farm implements and supply
the needs of his farm by adding new ones,
it will be applicable to suggest the harrow
should be supplied where there is not al
ready good one. Many farmers of our
country have neglected the use of this inn
p!ement, and some ofthem are inclined to
the belief that it is of little value, but the
experience of our best farmers is that it is
ene OF the most essential implements in use
OH the farm. 1t is needed in the garden for
the preparation of the ground for planting
vegetables, and in the field where irrigation
is required, its use is very essential One
cause of the dereliction in the use OF the har-
row in Montana, is that it is an implement
usually manufactured at the farm, and not
being handy with edged tools the task of
supplying this implement is often put of
until seeding time, when it is too late
There are various plans for making the
frame of the harrow, and in this particular
we will make no suggestion, leaving each
farmer to decide as to size and shape but
concerning the harrow tooth we would sug-
gest that instead@ot putting it in straight,
it should be bent below the frame and set
angling backwards about 90 degrees. A
harrow made upon this plan by A. F. Grail,
Of Gallatin valley, has proven to be much
better than those with the straight tooth. 1t
does its work of leveling the soil and break
ing the clods fnlly as well as the straight
tooth harrow and is much easier drawn, be-
sides it does not clog, and there is no troub-
le with it in stopping to clear the grass and
weeds.

new. Is that not good proof that his lanc
was not worn out? He has let it fallow OF
has put in corn, and then he gets Il full crop
again. Why? Has he manured it? Has
he put in any of the fertilizers of the shops
No; but, without knowing why or how,
nature has fertilized his field, and he gets a
full crop off of his 'Worn out' fields And
so would it continue to yield, but instead of
aiding nature, he commences to reverse her
laws as soon as he commences to plow for
the next crop. That which nature has
been year preparing for the top he turns
under six inches, aud OF course turns up
soil that has to undergo Il change, because
| it has not been exposed to the rays OF the

by this time your readers are ready to
ask the question, how are we to pillow our
land, If we do not plow as our fathers did :?
1t is said that our fathers carried stone in
one end Of the bag, and then, to relieve the
horse, he took the bag on his shoulder, and
then straddled the horse and rode to the
mill, had his grist ground, and then return-
Ell home the same way. will now give

FARM IMPROVEMENT DURING TEE
PAST FORTY YEARS.

at the close OF very successful year
with many farmers, a few reflections natu-
rally suggest themselves An occasional
retrospective view OF recent progress often
furnishes valuable hints. There is no uues-
tion that on the whole the cultiyators of the
soil in this country are more successful
than forty years ago. It would be an ex-
ception to everything else if we had not
made some positive progress. The truth
is, great revolution has been made in cer-
tain departments. A Rip Van Winkle at
ter forty years trance would hardly recog-
nize the present agricultural world, on wit
Messing the old scythe, mandrake and fail
replaced with hundreds OF thousands Of
moving and reaping machines, grain drills,
threshcrs and separators, hay-forks and hay
carriers, farm engines, and innumerable
smaller contrivances tor abridging labor
and improving tillage. \ large portion of
the work of the farm is now performed
with one-sixth OF the labor required for the
same work halt century ago. Improve
ments have been made in the growth of
crops AS well as in machinery. We remem-
Der when the remark was common, that the
average product of wheat per acre was only
twelve bushels, and was actually diminish
ing. At the present time large districts of
country may be cited where the average,
year after year, exceeds twenty bushels.
Thorough undertaking and the use of clo-
yer, manure and super-phosphates have, at
least, doubled the entire product of the soil
in some of the best farming districts.
Again, the infusion of the best blood into
our herds of cattle, sheep and swine has
produced great change.
We cannot suppose that the highest point
of prodnctiyeness has been already reached.
There are still too many defects in farm
Labor-saving implements of
tillage could be more generally used by
clearing land Of all obstruction. Improve
ment in seeds and in varieties of farm crops
would improve the quality Of products as

CULTIVATION AND FERTILITY.

AS your columns are open to those who
wish to give their views and experience for
the advancement ofagricuNure, propose
to give my views of the causes of the great
falling off of the yield in wheat under our
system Of cultivation. When we commence
with the virgin soil, nature has been pre-
pairing 1t for ages s-not by turning it over,
as we do, but adding new material to the
top and then fertilizing it by sunshine and
rain. Our first effort at cultivation reverses
that of nature, and we turn up the soil to
the sun that has not seen his rays for wears,
aud of course it has to undergo u change.
which takes time.
The sun is the great fertilizerin this state,
which is fully demonstrated on all the land
that is plowed in the spring, either as sum-
mer-fallow or for corn, or any summer
crop. The nature and composition oS our
soil is such that it is inexhaustible, if we
only follow nature and not violate her laws.
TO prove my position I will give u sample:
Nr. A has a field that yielded 90, 80, or
more bushels OF wheat when it was s'new,"
n we term it, than now. He has been
cropping it in wheat for ten years. without
change, and his yield IS now only 10 or 20
bushels. He changes it into corn or sum-
mer-fallow, and the next year he gets as
good yield as he did when the land was

THE CHEYENNE, BLACK HILLS AND MON
TANA RAILROAD.

The newly elected directors of this
enterprise, which promises to inaugu-
rate for Cheyenne a new era of pros
perity, met at the First National bank
parlors yesterday morning. A tempo
rary organization was effected by the
election Of Mr.. +. Nagle as president
and Judge Carey as secretary. The
books of the company will be open in a
few days for those who wish to sub
scribe to the stock Of the new railroad.
At the afternoon session a commit
tee was appointed to investigate the
bond question, which is a very import
ant matter bearing upon this organiza-
ton, as the Union Pacific and Colorado
Central railroad companies have agreed
to turn over the bonds authorized to be
issued by Laramie county, to a COM
pany organized by our citizens for the
purpose of building a road in the direc-
ton Of the Black Hills.
Our people may rest assured that the
well known gentlemen, Messrs. Con.
verse, Post, Carey, Warren, Dyer, Maggie,
Swan and Hurlbut, who have charge OF
the new railroad project, will carry il
through successfully, provided they
have the united support of the citizens
Of Cheyenne and Laramie county. This
enterprise, having been started on the
right principle, and being in the hands
and under the control of our best and
most responsible citizens, should and
will undoubtedly meet with the hearty
cooperation of our people. 1t is an
enterprise that will make Cheyenne
railroad center, q distributing depo'
for all kinds of merchandise, and event
ually the grand metropolis of the Rock,

covering 3,6S1.l IL acres are in Laramie
county; Z entries, covering 1888 acres
are in Carbon county.
Twenty-one homestead applications
have been filed covering 1860. l6 acres.
OF these, seventeen entries for
1889. 10 acres are in Laramie county;
5 entries for 720 acres are in Albany
county; l entry for 100 acres is in Car
bon county.
Four final proofs on homesteads have
been offered covering 500 90 acres.
OF these, 3 are in Albany county for
480 acres; l is in Laramie county for

This law is particularly advantageous
to the extensive cattle who
