DURING the five years we have been pub
fishing this paper we have devoted This de
partment to the science Of tilling the soil.
With what degree OF success let the reader
who has went with us through these years
Of trial judge. n Farming ia Montana. or
rather The northwestern regions Of the
Rocky Mountains, differs very materially IL
many respects from farming in either the
Atlantic or Pacific STATES. It is true we
learn important lessons from the experience
of farmers in these States, but they must
be taken with due allowance and it requires
agood juugment to apply them to the sys-
tenn necessary 10 be adopted here. In the
States the farmer is subjected to many
chances Que season the heavens seem to
open and pour down their col,i0us showers.
drowllling out everything and giving the
weeds ia.ltl grass weeks lhe start OF the
crop; white at other seasons drouth sets
in and the dry, parched earth chookes the
lite out Of vegetation. and cuts the crop
short. These extremes follow in success
sion almost rs regularly as the years come
and 60. And between tile elements, a con-
slant warfare witt weeds, and the insect
pest, tile aver aye farmer finds the life run
out of him, all 10 no purpose. His
system Of culture is widely different from
that Of our Territory, since tie difficulties
are OF all entirely different nature. Here
we take no thought whether it rains or
whether it don't, as every farmer regulates
the moisture Of his fields as he thinks best
and if the season is not perfect the fault
lies ii. his Judgment as to what is best nee
essary to promote growth. The culture is
is, therefore, altogether different Tor the ap-
picatiOm of water is more OF a science than
the application OF m,anures. Water serves Il
twofol,l purpose Of nloistening and fertiliz-
-in9, but these things The best farmers Of the
States 10 not understand. The preserva-
ton OF the soil is as essential here rs there,
yet tic modes are vastly different. AS our
country becomes older these things may
become more similar, but the State and
Rocky mountain husbandry can never be
considered as one ana we care not how well
versed farmer may be in the modes of
culture etc, i'll the States he will find that
to farm in Montana he must learn the agri-
culture peculiar to the region in order to
meet Will, success. This department of our
paper is devoted strictly to mountain hus-
banlry, we have an exchange list en-
braciny the leading agriculture Journals Of
nearly every State in the Union from which
we Gull that which is applicable or from
which deductions can be made that are cal
eulated to enhance our progress. That
there is no one and, in fact, no dozen agri-
cultural journals Of the States that could
supply tile place of this department in prac-
teal value to tile section to which it is de-
voted. Ii has not been all that it should

THE OLD theory that it required nothing
more than brute force to turnl is numbcr-
ell among the things Of the past. Muscle
is Il very necessary element to success in ag-
riculsure, but unless well directed it may be
employed lii vain. Look where we will
over America we find this verified. III
every Stale an2 Territory, from ocean to
ocean are to be found hard working farm
ers who spend q life time to no purpose.
They toll early and late, from youth to old
age, and are always behind simply because
| they rely solely upon labor. This was be-
lieved To be the sure road to success by our
fathers, but the progress Of the Nineteenth
Century has entirely exploded that doc
trine, for we find labor, unless guided by in
telligence, unrewarded in every vocation in
life, and more especially SO in agriculture
tllan in any other industry. tt is very true.

requires intelligence to understand the
.reQnirments of the soil to produce plant
growth. 10 be able to produce the best
crop from the soil is not all that is to be con-
sidered. The farmers field must be regard
etl as the goose that lays the. golden egg,
and the productive life must bs preserved.
Farming not only means the production OF
q crop but it means the preservation and
improvementof the soil so that it will pro-
duce another. In the ten or fifteen years
that are past tile Montana farmer has paid
but little attention 10 the preservation OF his
fields. Land has been plenty and could be
had without price, and when one spot was
Worn out it was only necessary to move the
fence to another, and SO on having fresh
new land continually. But that day is rap
idly passing away and we must begin to
look out tor our fields and not exhaust them.
There is money in it in two ways, the land
increases in value besides the product may
be increased also, while under the old way
both deteriOated.
