We were shown a stalk of oat grown
o II Robert Vaughn's ranch in the Sun riv-
er valley which measures seven feet and
two inches long, the head being twenty
inches in length. Mr.. Vaughn expects to
get an average of IS bushels per acre
from tire field from which this stalk was
selected. Tbs stalk can be seen III Mr..

Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1885-09-26

We understand Great Falls is to have a
drug store shortly, it being the intention
of a firm now doing business in Fort
Worth, Texas, to remove their stock here
vet this fall. 1t would seem that this
would be a good location for this particu-
lar line of trade, as there would be no
competition between Helena and Benton,
a distance of over 40 miles.

An expert in raising swine well says that
the notion that the more fat the better pork
is a wrong one. Little carcasses which
may all be rendered in the lard kettle do
not make the most salable, the best or most
healthful meat. His idea is to raise the
frame and muscles, and then put the lard
onto it. This does not controvert the idea
that the pig or hog should be kept con-
stantly growing. 1t is the constant fatten-
ing which is Objectionable. Good lean
pork is very desirable for many uses, in
which the muscles is not entirely lost sight

ounces, as good ounces viii always com
mand remunerative price in almost every
fruit market. Ounces can be raised as
readily as apples or pears. But the ground
where they are growing needs to be kept

lent practice to spread ashes of any sort

fertilizing material into the soil.

Potash FOR VfNEs.-Common barn
yard manures are not adapted to growing
the best grapes, though they are much
better than no mawuring. The faults of
stable manures are an excess of nitrogen,
causing excessive growth of vine and too
little of mineral fertilizers which produce
the fruit An application of potash in
spring or any time during the growing
season is very beneficial Old country
vineyards are manured almost exclusively
by the ashes from the burned trimmings
Of grape vines. These ashes are very rich
in potash, This mineral food is especially
valuable in promoting early ripening.
Vines that overbear are simply in most
cases setting larger number of clusters
than the vine can supply potash for per-
fecting the seeds, and for changing the
harsh juices of the green grape into the
richness of the ripper one.

WHAT AN ENGLISH GROOM SAID TO a
YANKEE HosTLER. When a horse comes
in all wet with perspiration you let him
stand in the stable and dry with all the
dirt on. In England we take the horse
as he comes in from drive and sprinkle
blood-varm water all over him, from bis
head to his feet. Then we scrape him
down and blanket him, rubbing his legs
and face dry Thus, in an hour he is clean
and dry and ready to take good feed,
while with your way he will stand and
swelter for hours, and finally, dry sticky
and dirty. Our horses never founder and
never take cold We never use curry
comb You scratch your horses too hard.
The only care necessary is to have the
water not very cold, then battle them in
stantly, while you are rubbing their legs.
