Gambling in Montana.

An Overland correspondent of the
San Francisco Bulletin writes from st.
Paul:
In the stage between Missoula and
Deer Lodge the only passengers beside
myself were two gamblers and a hard
female companion. One of these gam
biels rode inside with me, and was es-
pecially anxious. apparently, tina, l
should know that he was a gambler,
He had followed the business for eigh-
teen years, and had been in every town
in the territory. His companion had
been all over Montana and Washington
Territory, and had been a gambler at
Virginia and Carson cities; also, at Bo-
die. Business" | was told, was bad in
Montana, and the pair were on the hunt
for a new place of settlement. 1t will
cheer Portlahders very much to hear
that these gentlemen and their female
friend think seriously Of going down to
settle at Portland. The inside gambler
informed me that faro was the suuarest
game dealt. He either could not or
would not tell me what percentage or
advantage, on the average, the dealer
had over the player. He said there
were four or five men in Montana who
had 100000 TO 5000, 900 Invested" in
the business" One of them made a
quarter of a million and left the bust
ness. He is now a heavy cattle :Haler.
My friend also informed me
the leaaing business AZ vi a town in
dnlge i'll gambling their example causes
dozens of young men to gamble also.
Marriage and the settlement of a coun-
try, he said, We're both bad for his BUSH
ness. When young men get married
they had the attractions of home, and
unless welded TO the vice they had no
longer had either time or money to gam
BILE with. l asked him about the risk OF
shooting scrapes in his business. He
said the popular question was all hum
bug on this subject. He said q gambler
was as safe at his faro table as if he were
locked up in tie penitentiary. Noticed
that he carried a pistol, for it got ont of
bis pocket accidentally, whereat he
volunteered the statement that he car
ried it on the stage only, because road
agents were plenty. There came near
being some use for a pistol, too, on the
trip. at a station where we changed
determined to pick a quarrel with the
gambler on the outside of the coach.
The gambler was a very fine looking
man, over six feet high and as pleasant
and w~ell-mannered a man as ever | met,
The offensive stage-uriver was an extra
who had no business with our stage at
all, but he got up and emptied
the front boot under the seat
where the woman was sitting. In do
ing SO he threw the woman's limbs
around in the toughest He
kept talking to himself that he was 90
ing to fight and kill somebody, etc.
The outside gambler noted all this, and,
though evidently very much incensed,
restrained himself. He however,
seemed sorry all the rest of the day
that he had let his unproyoked ~assaiI-
ant escape. From being pleasant and
chatty, he turned morose and quiet.
From what l could gather on my trip,

Food for Young Chickens.

A correspondent of the New England
Homestead gives her method of feeding
to produce large, early-maturing fowls:
The first three or four days I feed
chickens on or. ckers and hard-boiled
eggs, chopped very fine. One egg and
two crackers are sufficient for a brood of
twelve one day, provided the hen has
whole grain constantly by her. For the
next few days | give oatmeal Slightly
moistened or baked johnnycake and mil
let seed. When three weeks old, l
change to a mash of boiled potatoes,
meal middlings and bran, a few beef
scraps, a little bone meat and salt. /
keep dry cracked corn, wheat,
oats or whole corr by them all the time
TO pick at when they wish. After the
first week Igive some kind ofgreen food
using turnips, potatoes, cabbage, ETC.,
until a supply of winter rye, oats or let
tuce can b.. grown in boxes or cold
frames. Until three weeks old I feed ut
least three times a day, the first and
last meal as early and late as they can
see to eat it. Success depends as much
on frequent and regular feeding as on
the quality of the food. Chickens fed in
this way get a good start while young,
and will lay two months earlier than If

Professor Voeicker, the foremost az
ricultural chemist OF England, is to be
counted among the latest converts to the
system of saving green fodder in silos.
Mr.. Atkinson of Boston sent him two
~casks-one of maize fodder, the other OF
rye-of which Professor Voelcker re-
turns analyses and, what is of more i'm
portance, the report that the substances
reached him in good condition, the
maize fodder being perfectly sound, the
rye very slightly mouldy. He adds,
that, while he prefers the maize to the
rye, both remained perfectly wholesome
food for cattle, and the bulk of what had
been sent him from the n ,ighborhood of
Boston was fed, with a little cottonsced
meal to cows on IN experimental farm,
The animals took to the ensilage at
once and like it much. On this Mr.. At
kinson relates that he has himself kept
two COWS from fall feed to summer pas
ture on the ensilage got from half an acre
of good land, and he believes that with
careful management four COWS can be
kept to the ensilage, with a proportion
of cottonseed meal added, and
maintained in good condition.
No ulhkeS Two Suggestions WHICH
seem to us valuable to small farmers
an % those engaged in the transport of
cattle across the ocean. "The fact that
fodder could be taken from the pits,
packed in casks and sent to England in
good condition is suggestive-First as to
the feeding of live cattle in crossing the
sea. Would not good corr fodder,
packed in casks be better than hay, and
more suitable bulk for bulk? Second,
may not persons who live in city or vii
lage raise fodder at some distance, per
NIT it to wither on the field, so as to lose
elasticity, and then pack it in -four bar
rels, usinga lever to press it, to be
brought in from the farm to the city or
village, as needed for the family cow"
Why should not farmers near villages
and towns make a profitable business of
preparing and selling ensilage to those
who keep COW but have too little
ground for their maintenance the year
round? Such persons now buy dry feed.
There is here a hint for a new industry
which would give added value to lane
ear towns and villages, and profitable
employment to men.-New York Her.

when shan Wheat be cnt.


There is always a discussion as 20 the
best time for cutting wheat, as far as re-
lates to its ripeness. The demand now
is for hard finty wheat for the miller's
use and it has been claimed that the
early cut wheat has no gluten-that is,
that the bulk of gluten was formed in
the later stages of ripening and that
therefore it would not make 80 good
flour.
DR.. Kedzie has given this subject
much attention and from extensive en-
perlments by chemical analyses found,
J.. That as to the grass product per acre:
The amount of grain as influenced by
the period of cutting is a question OF
practical Importance to the farmer. In
making This estimate | confined my at
%tention to the weight of perfectly dry
berry, because | was satisfied that n
variation IN amount of grain attendant
upon changes during growth arise from
variation in the size and weight Of the
berry and not from any change in the
number of grains growing on u given
area, since new grains would not form
during the process of ~ripening and all
those already formed would pass through
the successive stages Of developement
more or less completely. In this
sources Of error incidental "a
measuring the grain produced on
9 given area, such as the loss of grain
from handling and from incomplete
threshlng, varying productiveness oil diff
ferent plots, etc.
This estimate was made from 81 sam
pies taken at different times, beginning
before the berry was milky and contln-
uing till it was dead ripe. In this es-
innate, from which all sources of error
seem to have been carefully removed,
it was found that the maximum yield
was greatest with two varieties under
trial-the Clawson and Schumacher
when according to the memoranda,
berry nearly dry and becoming hard;
straw entirely ripe" although it varied
but little below this from the time when
1t was a stiff dough to dead ripe, but
Smelling in handling would not be taken
into account in the case of the latter, and
this we may assume is considerable.
The analysis also shows that there is
a greater proportion of gluten in the
earlier stages of %ripening. but that the
total amount of albuminoids is greater in
the later stages, but these as we'll as the
starch reach their mailman when it is
fully ripe and decrease somewhat beyond
that time.
Manifestly from these experiments,
and they seem to be of value, the best
and most profitable time to cut wheat,
both for the greatest yield, the value of
the grain, as well as economy of labor,
is as described above-berry nearly dry
and becoming hard; straw entirely
rlpe.

Milk Fever OF COWS,

Fleming, the English veterinarian, in
his work on veterinary obstetrics,
which is a popular and standard author
ity in all veterinary colleges here and in
Europe, gives the following recommen.
dation fer the preventive treatment OF
milk fever or parturient collapse: AZ
the SUBJECTS of this disease are hearty,
plethoric, ~high-feedirg, nervous, or
%copiously milking COWS, measures should
be taken to reduce the tendency to
these conditions for fully a month previ-
u to the c~alving. The feeding should
be moderated gradually; a laxative, as
four ounces of EPSON salts, MAJ be given
two or three times; the food should be
soft and cooling, as bran mash, roots, or
grass; exercise should be given, and the
cows should be kept in a loose, separate
pen. where ~ dampuess or cold air can
lower The temperature suddenly. If
the udler is filled with milk it should
be relieved before calvine and three
times daily a%fterward, and after calying
no cold water, but warm drink, as bran
slop with some ginger should be given.

A Simple Cure for Canes,

The most easily applied and best!rem-
edy for gapes in chickens is caustic.lime,
either air OF water-slaked. 1t should be
in a dry and powdered state. Take the
chicken in the left hand and open its
mouth, keeping it upright, and then
drop a pinch of dry lime into it. Hold
it in this position a few seconds until it
is obliged to breathe, when it will inhale
some of the lime; then let it go One

Three Acres OF Eggs.

Last Tuesday afternoon Capt. A. LARGO
returned to port after 4 fine days cruise
among the islands off the coast. He says
that a short distance from San Miguel
island, standing out lone and solitary in
the Pacific Ocean, there is rock with a
surface of about three acre s. The sides
are precipitous and almost inaccessible,
except during calm weather. The island
is covered with a layer of guano, in
which sea fowls of all description were
found laying or in~cubating eggs. The
surface appeared to be almost entirely
covered with eggs, principally those OF
the sea gulls, shaggs and q small bird
