The Husbandmam thinks Montana is des-
tined to become wonderful small fruit
country, because of the large amount Of
wild fruit that grows along our mountain
slopes. Strawberries, gooseberries, cur
rants, and raspberries seldom ever miss
Servisberries and huckleberries are also
pretty sure crop, notwithstanding the high
altitude in which the latter is found. Straw
berries and raspberries blossom and bear
from early summer until autumn, and they
abound from the river margin to mountain
top. Cultivated varieties, of course, sue
coed much better than wild ones.

lived twenty four hours after receiving the
iujuries. The deceased was well-known

ing the past eighteen years he was an ac-
tive miner and tireless prospector. He was
one of the discoveries of the rich gold dig
gings on Naples Greek and its tributaries
which caused the famous "Salmon River
stampede" in 1s67-8.
