especially so in cold weather when they
yield the large profit in eggs. My aim in
keeping fowls is eggs alone, therefore 1t
becomes necessary to be careful concerning
the feeding. The health depends upon it,
alse the profit. Regularity is important
with fowls as well as all farm stock. Habits
once formed are permanent, and fowls may
be trained to suit the needs and ends of the
keeper, if persevered with. But the keeper
must be always regular, for the fowls be-
come impatient of delay and know their
regular deriods. 1t is as easy to raise eggs
in cold weather as in warm, and far more
profitable, if the keepers not afraid of trou-
BE and constant care.
The fowls must be attended to and it Is
no small matter where the tlocks are large
to keep steady supply Of water when the
weather is so severe that it freezes in few
hours. They must also have warm shelter
comfortable roosts and ground floor for
scratching. Laying hens are active, and
their activity must be promoted. AS soon
as the old fowls are through the annual
mout, which should occur before going into
winter quarters, they should be supplied
with egg-producing food. The vegetables
should be ted separately | often give some
at the time of giving other food, and the
fowls mix as suits their appetites. Whole
corn is the main reliance, and is always at
hand. The other feeds are interspersed and
varied from time to time, always observing
the reguarperiod with some kind Of food
that is palatable.

THE RAILROAD.

There are great many things said in fa-
vor of the railroad monopoly by irresponsi-
BILE scribblers for the press. who work hard
for tree pass, that the rairead officials
would never sanction. They have little use
for inferior brains. They are able to COM
mand the best intellect and some of the
most influential journals in the country, and
the noise of the editorial buzzards is not
appreciated by them. 1t is true they pay
all OF them, but they remunerate the buzz
yards on the same principle that we lean a
man fifty cents the other day, to get rid of
them. The keen editor will wrap a very
detective assertion in an argument of con-
siderable force. He will argue, for instance,
as mentioned in our last issue, that the rail-

that his services will be properly estimated.
But when the public tells the railroad it will
pay what the service is worth, and asks to
determine the value, the railroad objects, as

PURDY. the Fruit Recorder, says: "Our
experience has been such that hereafter our
setting of blackberres and raspberries will
be done in the fall, and the following Will
be our plan: II to grow in hills, we shall
plow ground, but not harrow it; then plow
out furrows six feet apart each way, and at
the crossing set plant. If in rows, mark
one way with corn marker and plow the
other way good furrows six feet apart ana

pers about fewer acres do not apply alto
gether to Montana. But few OF oar farmers
have too many acres. Some of them, how
ever, would accomplish much more by only

A BIG CATTLE COMPANY ON
PAPER

Mr.. John Hopley, superintendent, and
Mr.. John Roe, treasurer, of the Chicago
d Montana Live Stock company having
completed arrangements to start to the
grazing lands Of the company, near Bill
ings. Mont, left yesterday. Their office
yesterday looked like a first class har-
ness shop and clothing store. They were
surrounded by samples of outfits for the
mustang and the inimitable cowboy
Saddles, brides, spurs, and harness of
all descriptions necessary for the cattle
business, together with ranchmen's
clothing, rubber coats and blankets, lay
around in confusion. The outfit was
enough to induce a5dime novel reader to
purchase a brace of revolvers and a knife
and enlist as a cowboy. The company
makes q speciality of grazing cattle for
other parties. They will have 6O,Oo0
head of their own on the range by the
1st OF next January. The company
claim they can Craze cattle and fatten
them on Montana grass in one year and
put them in better condition than the
best corn-fed beef of either this state or
Iowa, and that eastern-fed beef cannot
compare with them. They also claim
that they can stall-fatten their beef on
Montana-cured hay better than cattle
can be corn-fed here. Mr.. Parrott, a
member of the company, who has been
ia the stock business since 1870, returned
with Mr.. Hopley and Mr. Roe. These
gentlemen attribute the superiority Of
Montana as q stock-raising country to
climatic influences, the chinook winds
passing from the Japan current up the
Columbia river through the gaps Of the
Rocky Mountains east over Montana,
making the atmosphere mild and almost
springlike at all seasons of the year.
Chicago Tribune.
This is the same company, we believe,
that recently issued a circular, claiming
big portion of the Musselshell country
as their special and exclusive range and
generously offering to take cattle for 9TH
er parties on liberal terms. But after
they get 10000 head Of their own on the
range it seems to us the picking would
be rather slim and that they would
probably have their hands full without
fooling with other peoples stock. The
Chicago G Montana Live Stock company
may be legitimate enterprise, but the
fellows are making too many foolish
pretensions to earn the confidence of
anybody in Montana. They will have
to talk such nonsense "back east" to
make it 60 down well.

lighting the Upper Missouri.

Speaking Of lights, says the Bismarck
Tribune, during the last session of con-
gress Mr.. Pettigrew tried to secure an
appropriation for lighting the Missouri
from Bismarck to Benton, and the treas
ury department has recommended that
new lighthouse district, with head
quarters at Bismarck, be established
and that an inspector be appointed to
take charge Of the same. Their scheme
will be to establish $50 lights between
Bismarck and Fort Benton at cost of
$1,000, and estimate that it will cost
$4,000 per annum to maintain them.
Between the mouth Of the Missouri and
Kansas City, 475 miles, there are now
thirty two light stations maintained.
Between Kansas City and Bismarck the
business is not regarded with 50 much
Importance, but it is believed that the
business between Bismarck and Fort
Benton will soon justify extending the
illuminating system as proposed.

| Montana on one of these Journeys, and
will be at Dillon about the 14th of the
month. After that Register Atkinson
goes in the opposite direction to Fort
Benton. These gentlemen are probably
/ the hardest worked officials in the terri
! tory, and deserve some relief from the
General Land Office if in any way it
can be granted.
With regard to that portion Of the dis
trict lying west Of Helena, the expense
and inconvenience of travel will be very
soon, in a measure. done away with by
the completion Of the railroad. But in
this vicinity the matter is entirely differ
ent. The bulk of the land in Northern
Montana is yet to be located and filed
on, and when the Indian reservation to
the north and east is cut doWn-as it will
be at the next session Of congress the
land business from this section alone
will be sufficient to keep one set of Off
cials busy. IF the officers at Helena are
oyerrun with work now, what will it be
then? Already relief is needed, and
the most practicable relief, and at the
same time greatly needed measure, is
the establishment of land office at Fort
Benton.
A glance at the notices of final entry
published on the fourth page of the
DAILY RIVER Press will give. some
idea Of the amount of land business from
this section. But it does not show it in
full. There is great deal of this busi-
ness from sections nearer Benton than
Helena, the notices for which are pub
lished in the Husboaaclnoo1o, and the new
mining districts of the Barker country
and Maiden will soon furnish great
number Of applications for mineral pat
ents. Ii no section Of the northwest is
a land office needed SO much as at Ben
ton, and we hope that Delegate Magin-
MS will do all in his power to secure the
establishment Of one. It will not only
greatly relieve the Helena officers, but
will prove a great boon to the settlers Of
Northern Montana

WANTED-A LAND OFFICE.

Among other Industries that have re-
ceived impulse from the coming Of the
railroad and the consequent increase in
the population of the territory, is that
of agriculture. With an increased con-
sumption and increased demand for the
products of the farm, the rich valleys of
Montana are. fast being settled up and
farming lands located. This brings a
corresponding increase of work in the
local land Offices, and the present state
of affairs is shown by the following from
the Helena Herald concerning the land
office there:
The Helena Land Office is overrun
with business. Both register and re-
ceiver are engaged early and late with
their duties, which have increased enor-
mously in the past few months. Only

ployment of three. Applications for an

RENSHAW OPERA OUSE.
The Dramatic Triumph of John
s. Lindsay as R1chelieu.

A large and intelligent audience
greeted MI. John S. Lindsay and
company at the Opera House last
evening, who made their first appear
ance in this city in Bulwer Lytton's
grand play of Richelieu. In dress,
action, carriage and general demean-
or, Mr.. Lindsay was the very person
ification of the historical Cardinal.
The close observer could see the
varied passions which swayed the
soul of the great statesman. The
true stamp OF greatness marked his
every action from the rising to the fall
of the curtain. He was'the Richelleu
of history rather than of the stage.
In the salient points of the play,
which call forth the greatest powers
of the actor, Mr.. Lindsay surpassed
himself. He was to all intents and
purposes Richelieu indeed, and the
deep impression which pervaded the
audience found vent in frequent and
well merited applause, which was
loud and enthusiastic when, at the
close of the fourth act, he was called
before the curtain. He was very &C
ceptabiy supported by the company,
especially by the ladies. Miss Ella
Dunbar as Julie; Miss Ollie Frantzen,
who is a de6utante of great promise,
and the Francois of Miss Anderson,
is deserving of special notice. To-
night Tom Taylor's great play en-
titled "The Serf; or, Love Levels
ALL" This engagement promises to
be the most successful in Butte for a
long time past.
