Rig sheen Ranches.

The wool growing interest of Mon
tana is almost exclusively confined
to the belt Of rich grazing country ly-
ing between the Yellowstone and Mis-
souri, rivers and extending westward
to Fort Benton and the headwaters of
the Teton and Sun rivers. The sheep
ranges proper are divided into flocks
numbering from 1000 to $4,000 head,
and men of small means are engaging
in the business with certain profit to
themselves-many of them starting
with 1000 head or less. The sheep
growers are proving more direct and
positive benefit to Montana than the
cattle men, for the reason that more
money is required to conduct the busi-
ness proftably, and it gives employ
ment to much greater number of la
borers. Sheep require constant care
and attention, while cattle require lit
tie, and are allowed to roam at will
until the rounding-up season arrives.
All the indications for 1885 point to q
season of unexampled prosperity for
the stock growers of Montana.-St

1t is said that when spiders are seen
crawling more abundantly and con-
spicuously than usual upon the indoor
walls of houses, rain may shortly be
expected but the following anecdote
intimates that some of their habits
are the equally certain indications Of
frost being at hand.
Towards the end of the last century
Quarter-master Disjonval, seeking to
beguile the tedium Of his prison hours
at Utrecht, had studied attentively the
habits of the spider, and eight years
of Imprisonment had given him leis-
ure to be well versed in its ways.
In December Of 1894, the French
army, on whose success his restora-
tion to liberty depended, WAS in Hol-
land, and victory seemed certain if the
frost, which then ragged with unprece-
dented severity, continued. The Dutch
envoy had failed to negotiate and Hol-
land was in despair, when the frost
suddenly broke.
The Dutch were now exulting, and
the French generals prepared to re-
treat ; but the spider warned Disionyal
that the thaw would be of short du-
ration, and he knew that his weather
monitor never deceived him. He con.
trived accordingly to communicate
with the French general, who duly es-
timated his character, and at once re-
lied upon his assurance that within a
few days the water would again be
passable by troops.
The retreat was delayed. Within
twelve days the frost had returned
and the French army triumphed. Dis
ionval was Immediately liberated, ths
spider having brought down ruin OF
