VIM. d. Lee said if he had poor farm
and no outside means he would run off and
let somebody else improve it. Clover and
commercial fertilizers should be used to
begin with.
Edward p Moores said his rotation
would be corn, followed by wheat two years
in succession, then sow clover Fertilize
the corn and wheat as heavily as you can.
Nov the clover the first year and pasture
the second. IF he wanted to pillow he
would try to put on a covering of stable
manure first.
+. NJ. Allen said he never saw crop of
green clover plowed under fail to bring a
good crop Of wheat. Clover is great
Fertilizer and is not used enough.
John Moorcs said so worth of bone
dust would improve the land more than
ton of clover; which might be sold for $40.
The worst crop of wheat he ever had was
from blowing under green clover.
r. Harris Archer agreed with Mr..
Moores in regard to blowing under green
clover. IF you apply half a ton of bone
dust to sedge field it will bring it up at
once, but it is easier to make poor land
good than to make good land rich.
VIM. +. Hays had tried to improve poor
land by several plans. He has sowed
buckwheat, cutting it off and blowing it
down, following with wheat. He had also
broken up land in the fall, summer fallowed
it, sowed wheat the next fall and grass
seed on the wheat. He applied 400 lbs.
of bone dust and go lbs. of Peruvian
Guano
VIM. Webster regarded clover as the
basis of improvement to all the old farms
of the county. He did not see why a
farmer could not follow rotation, and
could Judge from experience what crops
would best aid in improving the land. He
referred to lands In the forest that had been
made rich by putting the manure in one
place, and claimed that any land could be
made rich.
Bennett H. Barnes said his experience
with timothy had differed so much from
that Of other members that he hesitated to
express it. He had cleared a woods, ten
years ago, plowed it in the fall, the next
spring planted it in corn, followed by buck
wheat and bone. No fertilizer has been
used on it but bone. Cloverseed has been
sowed with timothy and never missed a
crop. He believed land might be improv-
ed by cutting timothy. Pure bone will
improve land without stable manure, but
it is better to use stable manure with it.
S. B. Silver, the President, said he
thought it good plan to pillow down green
crops. If he had piece of poor land he
would get it in clover. Pasturing sheep
on it would bring it up quicker and at less
expense than anything else. When the
clover is gone better grass will take its
place.

.Another Rait,cau for Nonta,,a.

The Billings, Mont Herald, has the fol
lowing: ''We have already stated our belief
that Jim Hills purchases at the great
Falls of the Missouri indicated an inten-
tion to push the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba through northern Montana. A
st. Paul correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune now writes that Mr.. Hili's most
intimate friends assert that he intends to
extend the Devils lake branch across
both branches of the Souris, through the
extreme northern part of Dakota, striking
the Missouri river on the edge of Mon
tana, somewhere near Fort Stewart, and
continuing up the Missouri to Fort Ben
ton; then southwest to the Falls.
SHOULD THIS SCHEME
be pushed it is likely there will be race
between the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani,
toba and the Northern Pacific for the up
per Missouri country. The Northern
Pacific has already projected a branch
from jamestown to Mouse river, and an
other from Bismarck to Fort Buford, most
probably with the intention of ultimately
building up through the Missouri valley to
Fort Benton, which point will have further
connection with the main line at Billings
and Helena. Under the circumstances, it
is not likely that the race for the upper
Missouri can be long delayed, and which
ever road wins, the prospect is certainly a
cheering one for the territory at large, and
Benton in particular.
Daily globe., 1883-08-29

brought back to Helena, arriving at about
9 o'clock.
The point at which the two divisions of
the Northern Pacific meet is at Gold
Creek, where the first gold discovery in
Montana was made. The discovery was
made in 1861 by 'Gold Tom" and Gran
vile Stuart. 1t was not heralded abroad
until the next year, when siugularly
enough Gold Greek was the accidental
meeting point of an eastern exploring
party under the leadership of S. I. Hau-
ser) and similar party from the Pacific
coast, of which Bud Meadow was leader.
Both parties met at Stuart's cabin on Gold
Greek, learned of the gold discoveries, and
it is doubtless to that accidental meeting
Montana is indebted for one at least of
her most enterprising citizens.
The track-laying armies will remain
where they are for few days, part of them
engaged in ballasting the road, after
which they will scatter. Their chief oc-
cupation is gone, but at last the Northern
Pacific is built, and Montana rejolces.
Daily globe., 1883-08-29

on good authority that the Southwestern
Railway ASSOCIATION will not contest the
suit of the Boston sugar refinery, insti-
tuted to test the question whether the
railway pool can divert freight from a
road to which it is specially consigned by
the shipper. The Boston company ten
dered certain freight to the Rock Island
road but the commissioner of the pool
said the freight would have to take anoth-
er road in carrying out the prices of the
up business of all the pool roads. Under
the pressure of the suit the Boston COM
pany has been allowed to have its own
way without dispute, and the freight has
gone over the road. This is accepted as a
confession that indicates that the poo |
managers realize they have no standing in
court on the question raised, namely that
railways as carriers are bound to accept
all freight rendered them in spite of any
pool regulations.

YELLOWSTONE, Aug. 26.-It was the in
tention of the presidential party to remain
over Sunday at the upper geyser basin,
until it was ascertained that the vicinity of
the camp offered insufficient forage for the
animals. This discovery made it necessary
to resume our march this morning.
We broke camp at the usual hour and
returned to the Shoshone lake by the same
trail which we had passed over on Friday.
aud proceeded then III an easIerly Qliec-
tlon to the Yellowstone lake, on whose
borders we are now encamped.
Our journey to-day has been somewhat
tiresome. The difficulties can perhaps
be most effectually summarized in
the statement that we haYe crossed the
continental divide in the space of twenty
miles. For the tolls of this march
we have however received abundant
compensation since we halted. Our camp
is in one of the most attractive spots

our tour in the wilderness. It has afforded
US view across the widest breadth of a
more magnificent sheet of water than that
of any other of equal altitude in the
world. It has given some of our party an
opportunity to test and verify the truth of
the statement, which has been often made
but widely doubted, that it was possible
In this marvellous region to capture trout
in the waters of the lake without detaching
it from the hook to fling it into an ad-
jacent geyser and bring it thence to
| cooked to suit the taste of the most
fastidious gormand.
1t is not generally known that this To-
cality abounds in those natural phenomena
which are the chief attractions of the low
er geyser basin. The paint pots of that
region here find worthy rivals within 100
yards of our encampment. These geysers
are constantly busy fashioning the curious
creations which have been SO frequently
described. A few steps from these geysers
are the hot springs of various sizes and
temperature. Their waters are as clear
as crystal and close to their edges grow
flowers as rich in color and dainty in
structure as those which carpeted Camp
Lincoln.
The day has been crowned by sunset
which has gloriied the summit of the
mountains with rich, rosy light. With
the darkness has come refreshing rain
and the first which has visited us for many
days. While not serious enough to cause
annoyance or inconvenience, it will suffice
to lay for to-morrow's march much of the
dust and heat which have given to that
of to-day no small part of its discom-
iture.
