The unusual dry season thus far has
somewhat damaged farmers, since it has
caused many to irrigate to bring up their
crops, and has retarded the growth of pas
lures and meadows. Fortunately there
was an abundance of snow last winter and
there is, plenty of water for irrigation.
Crops will be good all the same but will
require more water than last season.

THE mistake is often made of irrigating
grain too late. 1t should be done early in
order not to keep the grain growing too
late as it is liable to be caught by frost.

You cannot make your fowls fat by keep
ing grain before them all the time, so well
as by supplying just enough for them to eat
up clean and no more. Among the requi-
sites in the fattening of fowls are dry
place and secluson. Quiet and the admis-
sion of light promote the formation of fat.
We would give an allowance OF easily d.
gested food three times day at regular
intervals, and remove at once all that is not
eaten, taking care that there is chance for
each individual member of the flock at the
feeding trough, so that each may have a

SUCCESSFUL poultry tanciers set their
hens in the evening after dark instead of by
daylight. They are much more apt to
"stick." The lantern is a very useful thing
in the poultry keepers hands. There is
much that can beid done about the fowl
house, and much that can be learned by
lantern light. You can frequently catch
fowls to examine them for any desired pur-
pose when they are on the roost, even If
they are not very tame; whereas in the day

High Water.

Through the kindness of Mr.. Alex.
johnson we recently got a peep at a
book in which is recorded the stage of
the water every day for the last three
years. From that we note that the
Missouri river at Fort Benton on the
18th of June stood u inches above low
water mark in 1882, 81 above in 1888,
and sc above in 1884. The river has
been nearly stationary the last two
weeks, and is now the highest since 1882
for this time of the year. Eighty-three
above is the highest recorded, and that
was in June, 1882. 1t is probable that
the height of the water has not been
reached yet this year, as as there is
plenty of now yet to come out of the
mountain gulches. Matt. CAROLS old
rule was that the river would be highest
when the wild roses were in full bloom.
According to that another week, will

Rich N eihart Ore.

We see by the Independent that an
assay was made Tuesday by the Utah
assay office, Helena, upon some ore from
Charlie Chambers mine, at Neihart.
The result was a handsome button of
silver from a very small piece of ore.
Mr.. Monroe, the assayer, figures the
commercial value Of the rock to be over
5000 per ton. MI. Chambers is now
sacking ore and shipping it east, paying
$35 per ton for freighting it from Mel
hart to White Sulphur Springs.
