Holiday Newspapers.

The Butte Miner and the Bozeman Courier
have each issued a holiday number-the first
is page quarto, and the second s page folio.
The MSner's issue is the most exhaustive
effort in the way of statistical compilation yet
attempted in the Territory, and this number
presents an astonishing amount Of informa-
ton relative to mines and mining. It has
every feature that could be impaired by q
statistical work except methodical arrange
ment and a clear synthetic view of the whole,
lack of which leaves a reader in some con-
fusion IS to general results. It's articles are
generally well written, and to those seeking
special information will give all that would
likely prove Of use or interest, With q new
head and clear Typography it presents a
handsome appearance.
The Courier is full to. o~FerdoWing with
concise and we'll arranged statistical matter,
interspersed with interesting sketches which
add the spice Of amusement to the food of in
struction which is the leading Cause of the
publication of these useful holiday numbers.
Montana in her general makeup, resources,
and appearance loses nothing that belongs to
her in her treatment by the Couater's writer's,
and yet she is not fiattered by diffusive and
meaningless compliment. All in all, the
Courser's addition to Moutana's local lauda-
tory literature will not be otherwise than
well received.

OAKwAY, April 20, 1881.
After cold winter and very late spring,
warm, growing weather has set in and con-
tinues favorable to the young, tender and
sappy vegetation, which bas so rapidly
sprung up from tho earth.
The farmers are generally done planting
their corn and cotton seed. The cotton is
coming up in somo fields. Corn that has
como up looks wcll. Wheat fields begin to
look promising. Oats that wero sown last
fall are heading. I saw somo barley that
had headed and was cut and fed to horses
yesterday from tho fnrm of Mrs. Altman.
Much has been said about sowing clover,
grasses. millet. &C., but very few have given
much attention to these things until now.
When necessity starcs the people in tho face
then they arise and 60 to work. The ''stock
law" not only suggests the raising of the
above, but necessitntcs tho people to do SO.
If the farmers would allow it, l would sug-
gest to them to SOW more clover millet,
(cattail and Germany barley and oats, for
stock, and buy less guano for cotton. Also
bo moro careful of going in debt for luxuries,
and economize your provision bills and try
as much as you can to pay rs you go 1t

ingly, so that tho taking of lifo now often

In its observance rosts tho security of life,

partial enforcement criminals diminish in

and desire of all good citizens. 1t is useless
now to plead the Generalization flowing from
the war and post war political condition as
an excuse for crime. These aro too remote

The law can now bo onforccd with justice and
