ers. such had just as well be half the living.
Eat less beef and pork or bacon, and more
poultry. The difference in the cost would
be merely nominal But before Montana
can live upon fowls it will be necessary to
have some little progress in breeding and
growing them. The introduction of good
breeds among the common stock, the breed
ing up and breeding for an especial pur-
pose is necessary. Poultry for egg poultry.
for table use, winter layers, etc, are
each more or less speciality, but the breed
combining all these qualities and is hardy,
is best for Montana; and what is mostly
| needed now isa few we'll established poul-
try yards, where our farmers may procure
such breeds as they choose to Introduce.
Montanians are high-minded, aristocratic,
and want the best that is going. They live
on b ef only through necessity. Let every
farmer raise all the fowls he can consume
at home, and some to sell. They will find
an over production scarcely possible, for the
consumption will redouble whenever prices
come in reach of the masses.

A YOUNG friend wishes to know what we
think OF the poultry business in Montana,
and inquiries how to proceed.
A young man with a small capital and
plenty OF nerve and -aheadativeness in
his composition, can build himself up in
this business as fast, perhaps, as in any other
that could be adopted. 1t would first be
necessary to selccta good location-a south
ern exposure would be best, and spring or
good stream of water that never freezes in
winter should be had if possible. It would
also be well to select a place where garden
spot Of say ten acres may be had on which
to grow feed.
| In laying out the grounds it would be well
| to build the poultry-house on land that can
be ploWed, as this will be of great adyan-
tage in ffeshening up the premises once or
twice year. The house, for this country,
should be built with two rooms-one so
warm that water will not freeze in it the
coldest nights; the other may be of boards,
but should be close SO that snow cannot find
| It's way in. This may be used for feeding
purposes. The front room should be well
lighted and face to the south, that the fowls
may have the benefit of the sunshine.
/ 1t is useless to attempt the business with
out making the necessary improvements.
J. In selecting the stock, we would recon-.
mend the choosing OF some particular breed
whatever suits the fancy and the countr,
best We would prefer some branch of til,
Leghorn family for Montana. They ar
active, good rustlers, world-renoWned lay
ers, non-sitters, and the. chicks are hard,
and feather quickly.

FARMING is the science of turning natures
wilderness into field and garden--of bring
inp order out of chaos, rs it were. Its de-
vslopmeuts are wonderful to behold. Pro-
dutvions baye been multiplied until one acre
sustans more animal life than hundred
would in the primitive state. Man advanc-
Inc step bv step with It's developments has
come out from q race of uncivillzed MINI
aaas - to be highiy-cultured, large-hearted
ssAss&g, capable OF doing honor TO the great
sSSsssssrce ot life from whence he germiuated.
& fro recount the progress of agriculture
from as far back as history dates, would be
tedious. TO contrast the fields Of the an
Gent Egyptians and Chaldeans with those
ofto-day. would be like a comparison of
day and night, yet the object then as now is
the same. 1t is to obtain from mother earth
the greatest possible sustenance of animal
life. The ancient Egyptian farmer had no
doubt madea wonderful Improvement up
on The heterogeneous mass of vegetatation
which sprung spontaneously from the soil
in earlier ages but it is MOTTO be compared
with the progress of the present age The
strides made within the past fifty years are
even more wonderful The quality of
nearly every vegetable product has been
jmprosed, so has its size of yield per acre.

rally first made in our expert
Ems from which they are intro
uuceu. There are, however, some expert
mental and progressive farmers who keep
| abreast and with the times and from whom
the community learn and are slowly drawn
along into the tide of progression. 1t is
lamentable fact, though that an industry
upon Which.all animal life depends should
| not receive more attention from the masses
than itdoes. 1t is to be regretted we say
that 50 many farmers only plow, sow anc
reap as their fathers did-mechanically VIZ
might say, without ever giving the subjec
any thought or study when science has s.
clearly demonstrated what naked results
may be obtained by SO doing. The frs
sung Is to supply the chemical require
ments of the soil, then to seed and cultivate
properly. The inventive genious OF tn
Eage supplies an abundance of labor-saylnl
snpiements. The mode of ploWing, SOW

compared with a century ago, and the farm
ef looking to the economy of muscle an

sloAgness with which measures for the pres

adopted is really distressing. The farmer
more than all other men, seems to be
slaVe to necessity. He seldom makes an at
vance until necessity requires it. When th
soll begins to become exhausted he think
=, anriching it, but not before, instead
adding to it regularly as he reaps from it.

HE POULTRY interests of the country are
assuming vast proportions. Many of lis can
remember when it occupied little or 10 at
tention; when fowls on the farm were re-
garded as palt1y source Of renenue, for
the purchase Of thread, buttons, and few
minor articles for the housewife. ana when
many farmers declared them a neisance and
expense. Few indeed were the poultry
journals and poultry fancers in those days,
Now their name is legion. Poultry shows.
once confined to very small corner of our
agricultural fairs, are now as important and
rank with our fat stock show. The increas-
ing interest is no speculation fancy like the
sEort-horn mania of a few years ago, but Il
genuine boom, q development of taste for
birds and eggs among the people Of the
nation. No industry can boast more
healthy standing. A great. variety OF first
class breeds have been established, and poul-
try-groWing reduced almost to d mechan-
lcal science. lncubators for Matching, and
patent mothers" dispense with this service
or the hen, while cranling machines for fat
tenlng stuff the fowl with prepared food
making it simply a machine for the conver.
sion OF scraps of meat, vegetables, ETC., into
chicken flesh.
/ The mode Of growing fowls on the farm
is the same as formerly, except that the
poultry-house is now as Important as th,
stable, and grade or pure-bloodcd fowls ar,
as common as Thoroughbred stock, and mel
talk poultry as they talk horse, beet, WOO
and other matters of moment. The natlo,
seems to be waking up to the fact that til
luxury Of fowls is as cheap as plain bee
and bread or pork and beans.

A correspondent interviewed General
Garfield this evening on the unit rule as
applied to the binding Of delegates in
the National Convention. He said:
"Delegates to National Conventions are
two classes-delegates at large and district
delegates. The delegates at large, which
are elected by etats Conventions are, by
virtue Of their creation, the representa-
lives of the Convention to which they owe
,bsir official existence. The Convention
has the undouhted right to instruct them
IN ~ yots as il sees 1T, but district delegates
are either selected by the people o. 2 dis-
trict In county or district Convention, Or
else by delegates from district to state
Conventions. They are creatures oil dis,
trict and not OF State Convention and
they should be left TO obey the voice
Of the people Of the district, or
when that is not well defined, to their
own individual Judgment a State Con.
Sention has no right TO dictate as 10 how
they shall vote. This idea OF States In.
1ructinR district delegates 70 vote. as a
nnit "a the old Confederate one, and Is
based on the theory that the State Is su'
preme. A district delegate Is In imme-
diate relation to the people, and State
| Convention has no right TO abridge that
representative power for the reason that
he Ia not q creature OF the Convention. A
district delegate Is In the Immediate line
oi the people, the same as citigen ls in
Immediate connection with the Nation,
and holds that con neation above any State
authority or license. A citizen In giving
bis allegiance TO the Government is No.
trammeled by State Interference, and so a
delegate, as a representative direct from
the people, should be allowed 10 vote as
lis people request, and not as astate Con-
yention demands.
