Our readers will remember the. suit
of the Northern Pacific railroad com.
pany against the sheriff Of Whitman
county. the question being as to
whether the railroad was liable for
taxes on it's right of way anu fixtures
placed thereon. Judge Wingard has
filed his decision in the matter, ard
holds that the right of way, road bed,
depot buildings, wood.sheds, water
tanks, ETC., are not assessable under
the company's charter. This was con-
sldered test case and other counties
were awaiting the decision with inter.
est. 1t appears that Judge Wingard
in his decision, has not gone quite so
far us the Supreme court of North
Carolina. in the case of the Richmond
and Danville railroad. wherein, under
a charter like that of the Northe Pa
eiic, the court held that not only the
road.bed, superstructure and all nee
e,sary building placed thereon were
exempt from taxation, but also the
machine shops. machinery and tools.

Grating everything of political ma.

Republican conventions have been al
ready called for the nomination Of del

ton. which is to meet January next;
and now the Democratic leaders fol-
low suit. DR.. Mitchell. of Deer Lodge,
chairman of the Democratic territorial
committee, directs that conventions
for each of the three judicial districts
meet on the Goth Of October to nomi-
nate one delegate at large for each of
those districts. That for the first dis
trict will meet at BoZeman. 1t will
be composed of twenty.one delegates,
apportioned among the counties as
follows: Custer, 4; Dawson. 3; Gala;
tin, 6: Madison. 5, and Yellowstone 8.
These delegates from the counties to

recommendation, by the Democratic
central committees for the counties.
not later than the 18th Of October.
No county conventions have yet been
called for Gallatln county by either

Sex In Eggs.

In discussing this question writer in
the London Journal OF Horticulture says
Last winter an old poultry keeper told
me he could distinguish the sex in eggs.
laughed at him, and was none the less
skeptical when he told me the following
secret: Eggs with their air-bladder IN
the centre OF the crown of the egg will
produce cockrels; those with the air blad-
der on one side will produce pullets. The
old man was SO certain of the truth of this
dogma. and his poultry yard'so confirmed
it, that | resolved to make experiments on
it this year. l have done SO, carefully
registering the egg-bladder in the center
or on one side. rejecting every one which
was not decidedly one or the other, as in
some it is very slightly out of the center.
The following is the result: Fifty ght
chickens were hatched; three are dead
and eleven are yet too young to decide
upon their sex; OF the remaining forty
four, every one has turned out true to the
old mans theory. This. of course. may
be an accidental coincidence, but shall
certainly try the experiment again.

Feed the Oats.

After remarking that the oat crop of the
country is an unusually coed one. and the
prices too for this grain, the Breeders
Gazette says: "Let us hope that one good
effect of this state of affairs will be that
farmers generally, will make more use of
oats in their own feeding. We do not be-
lieve in all the bad things said about In
dian corn. 1t is good deal better food
for horses, cattle. sheep, hogs or poultry
than it sometimes gets credit for. But ii
ought not to be the exclusive grain food
if oats are abundant and low priced. For
young stock-colts, calves and lambs
oats either whole or ground, are an admir-
able food. The value OF this grain tor
driving horses is also generally admitted.
Why should not farm horses have them
freely We much like at least an occasion
al feed of oats in the sheaf for mich cows
in winter, and have found oats answer
capitally as food for fattening steers. In
many parts of the West oats will not be
worth, on the farms, over one-half to three
tourths of a cent a pound. AT these prices
they can certainly fed to advantage. Well
saved oat-straw is a food of very consd-
cradle value. We count it one of the dis
advantages of our climate that, over much
of the country, our summers are too hot
and dry for the best development of the
oat crop. The season that best suits for
corn crop is not calculated to give a large
yield of heavy OATS
