engaged in stock-growing, as well as tllling
the soil upon their we'll situated farms.
They are only about Is miles distant from
the prosperous mining camp, Glendale,
which furnishes them a renuneratlve mar
ket for every ton of hay and pound of grain
they produce. MIR. Wheat now has the
Hickman farm and is dairying quite extern
sively. Mr.. Brook has made considerable
Improvement at his home, making it quite
complete, except a help-mete to keep things
in order. His barn when completed will be
the best ON the road for a distance of 80
miles either way. Mr.. Mowery is a part
ner with Brook in embarrassing, a business
they have followed since 1867, and are do
ing it quite extens vcly. MIR. Under has a
good herd and some fine dairy stock. He
was milking 35 COWS. Mr.. SWanstrum is a
carpenter by trade, and has a better I'M
proved home than most of his %neighbors.
A young Lewis from Mauldin's stud, to
be seen on his premises, is worthy of atten-
tion.t Darmetzer & Bro. are also stock
raisers and farmers. Mr.. G.. Darnetzer is
preparing to build a new home on the north
side of the river, and his brother, Richard,
is making a home on the south side. Their
real estate numbers several hundred acres.
Mr.. Maley owns the garden spot farm
just below the Point of Rocks. He is a me-
| chanic, and prefers to follow his trade to
farming, except in his garden and young
orchard, which he gives extra care. East

out several miles to the south, are cut by a
nice little stream upon which some good
stock farms are located. The first is the
property of Geo. Millen, brother Of Nick
| Mlllen, the boot and shoe man of Helena.
Besides a fine herd he also has large real es-
tate interests. VIM. Trostel, who is also an
extensive cattle raiser, has a herd number
ing half a thousand head.
THE wILLowBURN RANCH,
the property of James Mauldin, is indeed a
pleasant place to visit. Besides Louis Phil

eron-Norman stations, are to be seen some
very beautiful half and three quarterbloods.
one, two and three years old. When foaled
they had the appearance OF being too legggy
and uncomely in their makeup, but every
day has added to the beauty of their form,
and l now consider the three-year-olds per-
feet models of the horse for general service.
1t is true that the full blood Percheron-Nor-
man is not wholly adapted to our noun
tain country, but to mingle his blood with
good American stock produces a most ex-
c%ellent, serviceabfe horse for this country. 1t
adds connpactness, weight and muscle. The
one-half or one-quarter breeds retain the
ambition of the American horse, and his
reasoning powers are increased by the addi-
ton otthe French blood so THAT he is easier
managed, and being q more powerful ami
NAL, he can be used with more safety and
profit. 'phey do not make racers or Aeet
t~rctters, but they move easy and are good
active roadsters, for f~reighting and the
farm. For a good safe carriage team moth
ing safer or more beautiful could be select
ed than a span of one-half or t~hree-quarter
bred mares or geldings from Mr.. Mauldins
herd.
