As FINE a collection OF vegetables as we
have seen that were grown on one field
were exhibited by James Whalen and Alex.
Bronson. at our office a few days ago.
They were grown on the bench lying along
the south side of the Judith valley, and
against the Snowy range of mountains.
There were five varieties of potatoes,-the
Early Rose, Snow Fake, Momatti Pearl,
Neshanic and "Magnumboumer' (0. They
were grown from seeds, planted on the first
day of June, in new sod land, and but little
cultivation was given them. The sod land
was simply turned over and the seeds
dropped in every alternate turrow and COW
cred with sod. AS the gentlemen had no
bitches on their new farms they could not
irrigate them. From the large size OF the
vegetables there was sutficiency OF mois-
ture in the ground. The beets and turnips
exhibited were also very fine.

HARNESS should never be kept in stables
which ase not entirely tree from manure
The ammonia thus produced is rapidly alb
to be the same as il it were saturated with
strong lye. 1t has the effect of rottng the
leather. and the harness thus exposed will
consequently remain sound comparatively
briet time.

There is no season so favorable as autumn
for making general improv ements in the
flower garden. Dig up and put in order
every vacant bed, as it will not only facili-
tate spring work but do the soil good and
have neater appearance than if left rough
and weedy. Rake off all stones and brush,
and cover the beds wanted for spring flow
ers with fine old manure, and little sand if
you have it handy.

JOHN A. SMITH, of the Missouri Valley,
has presented us with a sample of the hard
Fife wheat raised by him this year. The
grain is small but plump and has better
appearance than the seed from which it was
raised, being better, larger, and more
smooth. The color of the grain is not quite
so deep red as the seed. Mr.. Smith has
not threshed, but estimates heavy yield.
The only serious objection lie finds to the
wheat is that it skaters very badly.

FARMERS are interested in the develop
ment of the country and have fostered our
mining interest in its infancy without a
murmer; but now they do not believe in
making the exemption perpetual, as is
sought by the new constitution.

ALL lovers of flowers should remember
that one blossom allowed to mature or 60
to seed Injuries the plant more than dozen
new buds. Cut your flowers, all of Them,
before they begin to fade. Adorn your
rooms with them; put them on your tables;
send bouquets to your friends who have no
flowers, or exchange tavors with those who
have. You will find that the more you cut
off the more you will have. All roses, after
they have ceased to bloom, should be cut
forming new roots for next year.

FUNGoID growths on the surface are the
chief and probable cause OF scab in potatoes.
Ii coarse manure is used, its rapid decompo-
sition in the soil is liable to make the pota-
toes scabby and unstable. A better quail
ty of potatoes can be produced by liberal
use of mineral fertilizers, especially those
containing potash.

Do NOT be deluded into voting for the
new constitution on the grounds that mines
may be market for produce, for Montana
faI mers must now compete with Dakota,
Oregon, Washington, and Utah. and our
farmers can hardly afford to foster mining
in order TO make a market for the people
beyOnd our border.

For large hanging baskets the Madeira
vine is very satisfactory. 1t is best to not
give it a very rich soil; its growth will not
be so strong, but the leaves will be closer
together and more attractive. Pinch it
back mercIessly till the basket is covered
with foliage. After that let a few vines
grow, allowing some to droop, and others
train up along the chains suspending the
basket. Keep the glossy leaves clean, and
we can asure you from our own experience
that you vii! have charming plant.

FRUITS, says DR.. Cameron, are used as a
staple food in many. warm countries, but in
most parts of Europe, as in the United
States, they are regarded chiefly in the light
of luxuries. Deprived of their stones Or
seeds. they contain not often more than five
per cent of solid matter. They are very
poor in albuminods; but they are usually
rich in sugar, and many OF them contain
much acid. There is the greatest variation
in the relative amounts of sugar and acid in
edible fruits.

A movement has been inaugurated
by Messrs. Luke Voorhees,, f. O..
Addoms and some other prominent
gentlemen Of Cheyenne for the creation
of a high grade private school and the
erection OF u suitable building therefor.
II Is believed that about fifty thousand
dollars will be needed for this i'm
portant project. Already some of
our citizens have subscribed about one.
tenth OF this necessary amount. APP
peals are now being made TO the liber-
ally disposed people In u midst to
contribute substantial announcement
to this important enterprise which has
for Its ultimate end the proper educa-
ton of the rising generation wherein is
largely centered the future hope OF
cur country. 1t is contemplated to
commence the erection Of the scholastic
institution within a very brief period.
Such a structure will prove an orna.
ment to our city and a lasting monu
ment TO the intelligence, enterprise and
iberality of our progressive citizens.
The intention further is, upon the part
OF the projectors, to secure u corps Of
competent educators for the severa.
chairs Of the school, which, in du,
time, will confer degrees upon pupils SC
soon as their requirements will war
J rant the same.
