bands made themselves obnoxious
last summer by stealing horses. They
are very cowardly, molesting no white
men except occasionally a sheep herd

They would compel him to get a meal
for them and If he acceded to their
wishes no violence was offered. Three
years ago an Indian brave stopped at
this ranch and asked for dinner.
There was no one in the house except
a young man who had never cooked a
meal in his life, but, nevertheless, he
succeeded in cooking a meal accepta-
bic to the Indian. In conclusion let
me say that it would take q book to

Angora Goat Hushandry.

It may not be generally known, but
it is nevertheless true, that a band of
nearly so Angora goats have been
wintered the past season in the molln-
tains Immediately east of Fort Ellis,
and that without the loss of a single
animal. The goats are owned by
Thos. Nelson, and have been let out
on shares during the past season, and
the natural increase of which have
been preserved intact without the
least care or difficulty. Mr.. Nelson
informs us that the kids are dropped
on the snow, any time duringthe win
ter, and that so far no loss has been
sustained. The wool clip last year
brought a dollar per pound, and there
is no good reason why it should not
continue to bring an equally remuner-
alive price.
A good story is told on Nelson, who,
by the way, is one of u enterprising
Scandinavian citizens, to the follow
ngeffect: Being questioned in regard
to the success Of his goat raising en-
terprisc, he replied: every goat have
Two LAMBS, and the bell goat LIE have
three" 1t seems, however. that IN
der the most adverse circumstances
no kids are lost, and that the Angora
goat is peculiarly adapted to the eli
mate and snowy mountain ranges OF

#vA6EdHey learned their business

they are the orrners Of 1000 sheep,

It is true that money, aud much mon
ey has been lest in the business, but
in no case can the fault be laid to the
business. In prosperous years men
have grown reckless and expended
money carelessly; before another year
went around they halmet with some
unforeseen loss and found themselves
crafnped III resources. It was Iroba-
bly, through carelessness that the seab

many bands. a year ago last fall,
thereby causing the death of humid
reds, and no little decrease in the
amount OF wool sheared from the re-
mainder. Notwithstanding their
losses sheep men are much eneourag-

The May number of the North
vest contains aletter fran E. L. NJ,
dated at Utica, Montana. The letter
is IN excellent one; truthful and to
the point We extract from it the
following:
Those who have been here several
years say that the past winter has
been n of exceptional severity.
They have complained e itandfea.ed
its results; but taken as a whole and
compared with winters in the East,
u own has been very mild. It is
true we had, for a time, some very Sc
vere weather, but it did not last long.
Up to December, 1884, we experience
ed magnificent weather. Cattle were
in excellent condition. No really bad
weather came until the middle of De-
cember. Then cold weather came in
earnest straight from the North Pole.
From the fourteenth of December
until the first of January the average
of the minimum temperature recorded
each day at the United States Signal
Service Office, Fort Benton. Was thir-
ty degrees below zero. In the last
week of December the highest tenn
p%erature vas eight degrees below.
-Four of those days it was more than
thirty below and three of them moro
than forty below. The coolest day Of
the winter was on the tHcnty-fourth
of December, when the thermometer
recorded ffty-six and a half below.
The coolest weather ever experienced
in the Northwest was at Fort Benton
in 1880, when it was tfty-nine below.
This severe weather lasted until about
the first of February.
Tt may seem astonishing to those
who have never spent a winter here
that cattle are able to live exposed to
the seventies of such weather. 1t was
very hard upon them but they braved
it we'll. For some time the benches
were covered with snow and it was hard
for them to get anything to eat, but
the pulled through with a very small
D centage Of loss. $780,.
February was not q very pleasant
month but I do notthink the mercury
went as low as zero: March was very
warm and pleasant, with slight SHOWS
during the last week. If your CORES
pondent has $4,000 which he would
like to invest in the cattle business it
would be well for him to come to this
country, or any other stock country,
and learn something about the bust
ness before he invests in it; the prac-
teal management of cattle, the ad-
vantages, profits, and drawbacks, and
hardships. If he don't mind rough
ing it a little while let him hire out as
8 cowboy during the roundup period.
He will see a great deal of country
and, if he wishes to take up a ranch,
will have some idea Of the most suita-
BILE location. He would meet with
practical slockmen with years Of ex-
perience, and would learn more Of the
BUSINESS in six weeks on the round
mp than in six years of life II New
York City. He need not take up a
ranch unless he chooses to, but most
stockmen have ranches, where they
spend their summers, returning East
in the winter. It is a delightful bus
mess and one in which plenty Of
money is made.
In speaking of the business inter
ests Of this country it may not be out

A tall, lank, weedy-looking granger
stepped into Third street car yesterday,
followed by a woman as lank and weedy-
looking as himself There could be no
mistake about their relationship of hus-
band and wife But they exchanged no
word the woman peering curiously at
the window and the man cracking his
fuger-joints with remarkable success,
for each explosion was almost as loud as
pistol shot. At Clay and Montgomery
the man got up and walked to the rear
platform. The wife, not noticing him.
kept staring ont the window The gran
ger put his foFefnger between his lips and
gave a loud, shrin whistle, which made
the portly conductor Jump as if bullet
had struck him. The woman got up
briskly and followed her lord, who stalked
along the street, SELL grim and taciturB.
That's the way with some of those

There were half dozen men with their

wager was his Several marked the coin
and recorded the date, and the drummer
was trusted to leave 1t as agreed.
Next day, at the same hour, a committee
of three visited the room. Several col

gagged in their vocations, but the dollar
was there.
Gentlemen, Is the negro honest or Is he

to the coin

one. There was no mistake The date

were there, but the drummer had taken
it to machinist to have a hole drilled

to the table. It was there so tight and

loosen it.
