culture where there are 10 facilities for
irrigation is the dry weather that al
most invariably sets in by the first OF
July. Now if we can only rush the
growing grain crop along 50 as to have
it out of danger from drought by that
time we will have plenty of oats and
wheat despite the coming dry spell.
IF the rancher has his ground all ploW-
ed in the spring it does not take him
long to SOW his grain and harrow it in
Immediately on the frost going out OF
the ground.
We would urge upon the ranchers the
immediate necessity of blowing as much
of their stubble land as possible to put
in wheat next spring, and also to in
crease their acreage. Some Of the prom
inent members of the executive COM
mittee in charge of the Touring mill
project assured us yesterday that the
erection of a frst-class mill is assured by
a responsible eastern mill man, if asuf-
fcient acreage of wheat will be guaran-
teed. If the enterprise falls through
now it will be because the grain rails.
ers of this section do not want one, OF
have not sufficient enterprise to change
from oats to wheat raising when the
change of market demands just such ac-
ton. We hope all ranchers who have
not co-operated with the movement SO
far will now see it is to their interests to
do so, and the interested ones will
redouble their efforts towards the enter
prise which will benefit all.

WHEAT RAISING.

We would like to call the attention
of the farmers in the vicinity OF Fort
| Benton to a matter in connection
with the establishment of a Touring mill
next year at this place. 1t is found,
through the great wheat growing Sec
tons of Minnesota and Dakota, that q
better quality of wheat and several BUSH
els more to the acre can be grown on fall
blowing than on ground left until spring.
After the rain and snow that we have
had the last two weeks the soil is now
in a fine mellow condition to turn over
with ease. Sod breaking car be done to
advantage, as a party Informed us this
morning-who is turning over a good
many acres of sod-that it cuts now as
easy as old cheese. The superior advan-
tages Of fall over spring blowing for
grain are several: where the soil has
been exposed to the repeated freezings
and thaWings of a northern winter it
becomes more friable and loose and,
what seems a contradiction, at the same
time more compact than when thrown
up in the spring. The roots of the
young tender grain penetrate among
these small particles of dirt much more
easily than they would the larger clods
and at the same time repeated trials have
shown in the older farming sections
that the fall blowing is not affected near
as much by the droughts, to which we
are SO subject in Montana.
The large Jumps of soil thrown up by
spring blowing are too apt to lay in that
shape during the whole summer and
the hot SUN and dry air Of a drought
soon finds its way between them and
sucks all the moisture which is needed
50 badly by the growing grain. The
fine particles which have been
dis~integrated by a Montana winter lie
close together and more compact and in
this condition can be easier penetrated
by the grain r~ootlets not SC susceptible
to the drying influence Of sun and rain,
and therefore will stand dry weather
much longer than the spring blowing.
The great obstacle to Montana agri-

The following from the Chicago 1Tib-
mae shows how eastern capitalists are
waking up to the superior advantages of
Montana as a cattle country: "Never
in the history of the cattle trade in the
northwest has the future of that enter
prise looked brighter or more promising
than at the present time in Montana.
Unless there are unprecedented reyerses
met with in the next three months
the net results of 1883 will place Mon
tana in the very foremost rank of the
great stock growing and producing re-
gion of the great west"

throat and mouth, the palate being en-

worse than others, and / was never free
from it until now by taking the above
remedies. When / first commenced
taking it my weight was only ninety
five pounds; my weight is now l27, and

TIE Bismarck Tribune has the follow
ing cheering words for the Barker and
Maiden mines. The mining country
tributary to Benton is boundi is be a great
help ia making a good business center
out OF our city: "The Barker and
Maiden mines, located east and south Of
Fort Benton are attracting the attention
of many eastern capitalists, who, the
past few months have invested large
sums in these properties. Valuable
leads were discovered at these points
several years since, but the discoveries
were men of limited means who were
unable to develop the mines and the
camp was dull and almost dead until
within a few months. With the advent
of eastern capital, however, new life and
energy seems to have been given these
two little cities. and now a lumber Of
smelling and reduction works are IN full
blast. Newspapers have been establish
ed and large stocks Of merchandise, ho-
fels etc. will 0 follow. The Iribaass
predicts that Withintwo years the camps
will number their Inhabitants by the
thousand and every steamer from Fort
Benton will be loaded with ores and
bullion from the mines Of northern
Montana.

A NIPPLE and easily constructed
quartz mill, or rather an a~rastra, called
the cannon ball, is now being introduce
ed in Nevada. The total cost is only es-
timated at $500 and it will grind up
from six to eight tons of quartz a day
with two or three horse power. Such a
machine would be invaluable to many
of our Montana %prospectors who have
rich gold leads and but little money to
put up expensive machinery.
