DR.. M. M. Mcclure, editor Of the
Dardanelle (Ark.) Independent and
President Of the Arkansaw Press
Association, dropped in on his friends
here to. day and was heartily welcomed
He is candidate for State Auditor,
and seems TO have strong support in
various parts Of the State. Being in
this vicinity on the other side,
he came over to spend the
day. We can say to his
friends and to his worthy COM

The efforts of the LEDGER have
brought forth signs at least of good
fruit. 1t has brought out a hearty
expression in favor of an early com
promise of the city debt if one can be
bad upon living terms. There are
three elements to be harmonized, in
order to make final compromise Cd
the ability to pay. (2) the
sentiment of the people, and
(3) ,the consent Of the bondholders
1t is conceded by many and even
urged dat Memphis can pay fifty cents
with graduated interest, and that
this should be attempted in good
faith, as soon as consistent with good
business Judgment. This covers the
first two points. The other one in
wolves the mind of our creditors,
which is not so easy to ascertain,
They have two if not three strings to
their bow: (l) The Courts, (2) the
Legislature, and (3) the willingness Of
the people to make an honorable set
tlement whether forced to or not
Here are three distinct chances, aud
what we have most to fear is that
while some of the creditors will talk
con6dentially about compromise, they
will keep in mind and hold on to the
very last to all chances, and that in Sc
curing the conditions of a compromise
they are only providing for a certainty
of something iD the event they
fail in the Courh and the Legislature.

FLOWERS are considered by most faraAers
to be of no practical value, yet without them
the rural home would be robbed of half its
charms. Man does not live for money alone.
1t requires something more than greedy
gain to satisfy the ambition of the average
man Or woman. Money, rightly speaking,
is but means of acquiring such ends as do
satisfy. A home surrounded with orn amen
tai trees and beautiful flowers has far more
comfort in it than the naked, barren looking
home. even though the latter may have a
few dollars the most. We contend, how
ever, that the home may be beautified with
cut expense. and that window gardens,
f1owery walks about the yard and garden,
and flower garden cost really nothing.
A few days labor each month for one man
will never be missed. And that the farmer
and the farmers sons and daughters and
hired help take more interest in their work
and accomplish more in season, are health
ier and happier. being made so by cheerful
surroundings, and make the farm pay bet
ter when it is cozy and attractive than when
the reverse is the case.

use. His field is slightly slipping ana the
soil is very deep and rich. He had at lland
an abundance of water, and did not use it
sparingy. Not being troubled with weeds,
the cultivation was an easy matter, and the
crop was raised, believe, by irrigating
sufficiently and billing up one time 1t
commenced to head early, and grew to good
size and very solid. Of the several long
rows planted nearly every plant headed up
nicely, and they were of uniform size. This
was the most important feature of the ex-
pertinent, as it was observed that number
OF the varieties planted at the same time, in
the same field and given the same advan-
tages, failed by one-half to head.
A variety which Mr.. w. called Oxheart
proved the best tor winter use. In size and
shape it very much resembles the Early

leaves and the heads are more solid.

EXPERIMENTS WITH CABBAGE.

The Winingstadt, Early Jersey, Wakefield
and Early Wyn1an cabbage have, we believe,
thus far been proven the best varieties yet
grown in our mountain valleys. OF these
the Wjningstadt, though it does not come
in for table use quite so early as the Wake
field, is much the finest cabbage. 1t grows
large and is a sure header. A number OF
our farmers, among whom we may name
Andrew Whitesides, IF Deer Lodge county,
ene of the most successful gardeners in the
country, places this variety at the head of
the list for early market. Last season, which
was by nc means successful one for grow
ing cabbage, Mr. Whitesides experimental

LII is jnst as cheap for the Montana farmer
to live upon poultry and eggs half of the
time as to live continually upon beef and
pork. 1t costs no more to grow fowls than
hogs They rustic for themselves equally
as we'll, and serve as good purpose in pick
ing up the waste about the farm. They are
more palateable as food, are healthier and
may be had fresh at all times. This being
the case, we hope that the day is near at
hand when every farmers barnyard will be
poultry yard, and when chickens, turkeys,
ducks and geese will no longer be regarded
as luxury, but become a staple of the
country and adorn the tables of the poor as
well as the rich. The climate here is quite
cool, but this only necesstates more care in
poultry management. Birds cannot live on
the commons, hide their nests in the stack
yards and roost in the trees as in southern
countries, but they are healthy and profit
able if rightly managed. Toe many regard
it as an unimportant branch of husbandry,
and neglect to give it due considerations
They say that chickens eat their heads off
many times in year, and that it don't pay
to bother with them, even when eggs are
worth so cents per dozen ana birds 80 cents
each. The reason of this is that they do
notmanage their poultry, but let their poul-
try manage themselves. There is no branch
of farming that would pay better, If run in
the proper manner than poultry. 1t is pos
sibIy true that there is occasionally a farmer
in Montana who has not made success of
his business, but the reason of it is because
he has not tried. Or rather not gone at it
right, and the same is true of raising fowls.

PRIOR to the publication Of the ROCKY
MOUNTAIN HUsBANDMAN state of inactivity
ruled throughout every branch of Montana
agriculture. Flour was stored in bulk and
was unstable at $l.5O per hundred pounds,
and grain was heaped in the granaries and
would not go of at rs cents per hundred
pounds. And other products of the field
ruled in proportion, On the range the same
stagnation was noticeable. Beeyes were
without market, horses comparatively
low, and the wool and mutton industry was
unknown. Immediately following the issue
of the HusBANDMAN came the grasshopper
scourge, whcih oppressed and well nigh
bankrupted the farmers. This lasted three
or four years, by which time the farmer
indeed trying ordeal that the Montana
farmer was called upon TO pass through.
First no market and then no production.
But time wore along, the granaries were
empticd in consequence OF the devastation
by the 'hoppers, curtailing production from
erees cot on their feet again, but it was with
dread that they looked upon tioarshing
fields in every quarter, fearing that there
would be no sale tor their products. But
an intelligent effort, directed by good eoun-
sci. prevented this, and an increase OF the
acreage at once set in. From that day for
ward the farmer has flourished, and what is
a noticeable tact, there has been remark
able equilibrium between the different farm
products, farmers having learned better
than to rely too much upon the production

The seeds were not planted until May 2lst,
but the growth was rapid and the cabbages
were full grown in time to be gathered for
winter. We would advise the planting of
this variety, and in fact all other kinds a
little earlier, however, as Mr.. Whtesides'
farm is an exceptionally favorable one, and
it is possible that cabbage planted, say the
first week of May, in many other sections
OF Montana will not every time escape the

1T is useless for the farmer to ask which
is the best breed of poultry unless he quail
ifies his question by stating for what pur-
pose they are wanted, and even then it is a
question that is hard to answer, as there are
number of breeds with the same pecul-
iarities and adapted to the same purposes.
Fanciers differ very much as to choice. It
seems to be very.much like farmers handling
dlnerent mplements-reapers, mowers,
plows, etc. Each one thinks the kind with
which he is especially familiar is the best.

Our advice to farmers is to keep pure
bred fowls, if possible. Cross-breeds, how
ever, answer very good purpose, but
should never be mated. The cockerels must
in all cases be pure bloods. If not the flock
will deteriorate in few years, untl there
viii scarcely be trace of either of the orig
inal breeds left.

The farmer who only keeps a few fowls
for heme use can in addition to his present
henhouse build room at the rear Of it. on
the plan of a root-house (ene-half in the
ground), that will be OF great benefit in the
winter and insure his fowls against freezing
and himself against having to be without
fresh eggs.

MONTANA prerents most excellent field
for the poultry fancier, as farmers generally
like to keep the best breeds of poultry and
stand ia need of some one to keep pure
blooded stock from which they can get
choice birds to cross on their focks every
few years.
