What TO Raise.

The hne fields of growing barley now
visible in the Gallatin valley prompts
the CHRONICLE once more to urge trial
of this grain by our farmers. From re-
liable sources we learn that the Gallatin
barley is plumper, larger, and better in
every way than that raised in the pre-
historic lake-dwellings of Switzerland
It is a hardy grain and thrives in wider
range of climate than any other. OF the
total barley crop California and New
York furnish nearly one half It's use is
entirely restricted to the manufacture of
beer and as food for horses. Therefore
in the event ofa very large acreage it
would not bring as high price as 9TH
er cereals. But inssmuch as the farmers
of New York and California can obtain
more for wheat, oats and corn. than they
can for barley at present, it would seem
advisable for our farmers to produce this
grain in larger quantities Experienced
farmers admit that the barley of the
Gallatin valley is the finest they have
ever seen, hardy and capable of i'm
mense yield, and brings higher price
than any other grain.

So Let 1t Be.

The Poles and Bohomians in Cleve-
land, o., who have assumed to run
things according to their own notion,
and who persist in beating the Ameri-
cans and Irishmen who are willing to
work, should be bundled up and shipped
back to their own dear land. 1t is the
first time in all their lives that they
have been allowed any liberty, and now
they show how that liberty is but the
casting of pearls before swine" Before
they came to this country they coveted
the 1--we of an American dog, and were
kicked and cuffed by those above them
as brutes of the field. Having been al
lowed to come to this country, it would
be supposed that they would be salts
fed to live in peace, but such is not the
case. Liker their class, having been
given finger they want the whole hand.
They not only demand higher wages
than their labor is worth, but they also
prevent their employers from going on
with their work by the assistance of
other EMPLOYEES. Verify the powers of
the State Of Ohio should pounee upon
these criminal wretches and give them
such handling as would make thei
thick heads swim.

Lana ONCE Decision.

The land Office has received instruc-
tions from the commissioners to allow all
filings which may be offered upon any
odd numbered sections within railroad
limits where there may be any filing
upon the land under any of the acts of
congress, on either the 2lst day of Feb
ruary, 1872, or the 9th day of July, 1882,
inclusive.
The practice hereeofofe has been
where the land applied for was covered
by an old pre-emption filing to give the
railroad company notice, and where the
company protested, order a hearing.
But under the present order all filings
will be received and all questions be-
tween the settler and railroad company
will be settled when the party filing
proceeds to make final entry.

An Important Patent.

Mr.. S. w. Cook, of Bozeman, has re-
Gently applied for patent upon dump

ings and specifications from Mum & Co.
aud expect to obtain a patent at once.
The car in question, it is thought, will
entirely ravolutionize the mode of con-
veying ores from mines, transporting
coal, &c. The car can be built any height
and can be made to fit any track. 1t can
be made to dump from the side or end,
swinging on pivot, the swinging door
being opened by a lever on the upper
end. To miners the car especially COM
mends itself, as the danger of leaving
the track is entirely obviated. Mr.. Cook
has evidently secured bonaza, one that
we expect to see make rich man of

Land Leases TO be Set Aside.

After mature consideration by the
president and cabinet they have reached
the conclusion that the leases of lands
IN the Indian Territory held by cattle
men, ara invalid and it has been deter
mined to take steps to have them set
aside. General Sheridan has reported
that no permanent settlement of the In
dian trouble in the territory can be
effected while cattlemen are in possess
sion of the best lands it is the intention
of the president to remove the disturb
ing element and reserve the Indian ter
ritory for the exclusive occupation of
the Indians. A method of procedure
has not yet been determined, but it is
regarded by well informed person as
probable that actions will be begun in
the United States courts of the western
division of Kansas looking to declar-
alton of the invaidity ofthe leases.

Clouding the sun this destructive army

in millions and completely eat up every

Montana.

Rev. r. NJ. Stevenson, of Bozman, in
very interesting letter to the New York
Evangelist, among other things, says:
Another wrong impression is that
Montana is so nearly covered with
mountains that it must ever be relegated
to the miner and the bear. IF the idea
prevails that country is not suitable for
the farmer, it is hard to enlist any g n
eral interest in it, because agricultural is
regarded as the surest foundation for
business. But we have plenty of land
and it is of most fertile character. Al
though our farming interests are in their
infancy, we paid taxes on 1886, 900 acres
lin round numbers) of land. The west.
ern half of this territory is very like
Pennsylvania in its makeup and pro-
ducts. 1t is divided into valleys, which
are skirted about with ranges of noun
tains The soil in these valleys is very
productive. The average yield of wheat
per acre for the entire territory is great
er than that of any other state or terri
tory in the union, being 283 bushels At
the expense of beng charged with ex-
aggeration, have persisted in telling

sixty bushels of wheat per acre is not an
uncommon. yield in the Gallatin and
other valleys of Montana We raise the
small grains, vegetables and fruits. Fin
er strawberries, currants and gooseber-
ries are grown nowhere Fifteen humid
red bushels of apples were picked last
season in one county. ] mention this as
a promise of what is possible in this res
pect. The more tender fruits, such as |
peaches, grapes and pears, have not been
tried and probably cannot be grown
here. The vegetables grown are unsur-
passed in point of quality or quantity.
Eastern people justly look with sus-
picion upon the mining industry as an
uncertain factor in business. But wheth-
er the inside of our mountains contain
the wealth we think they do or not,
the outsides are covered with wealth.
Here comes in the significance of our
altitude 1t is noticeable that Colorado's
mountains, with an average altitude of
z 900 feet, are rocky and barren while
those Of Montana, having an average
attitude of 5000 feet, are covered with
luxuriant bunch grass This grass cures
where it grows and makes the richest of
winter feed. Upon it bands of horses,
herds of cattle, and focks of sheep are
fattening for the enrichment of their
owners.
But there is something ON the inside
of our mountains. In 1883 our mines
yielded $10,0O0,0OO In 1884 they yield
ed $23, 100000. An advance of l30 per
cent, in one year is significant. Near
Bozeman 200 men were employed in one
mine taking out coal the past winter.
And discoveries of coal are being made
in different parts of territory. Our
mountains contain sufficient pine for
our lumber. We have our
own stone quarries and make our own
brick. Our farmers have home market
in supplying the mining districts.

n. P. Cattle shipments.

R. B. Wilson, live stock agent of the
Northern Pacific, in speaking of Montana
cattle says Stockmen are now busy
getting their cattle ready for market, as
the season for shipping cattle east will
open about Aug. l. The outlook for the
seasons business is excellent, and If the
market is as good this year as it was last,
upwards of 10000 head will be shipped
on foot. In addition to this the MARQUIS
de Mores figures upon shipping some
thing like 5000 head dressed. Last
years shipments were 10000 head on
foot and $500 head dressed.

Selecting Seed Wheat.

s'ome of the successful whea- growers
ofPennsylvania and Maryland have Gus
tom 0fselecting their seed wheat from
fields that have remarkably vigorous
development of straw, little regard being
paid to the fulIness of the berry. The
custom originated with d. NJ Good, of
Washington county, Nd, who, one oc-
cassion, being slort Of plump wheat,
sowed part of field with shrunken
seed procured from neighbor. Con-
trary to expectations, the shIunken seed
produced much the finest crop, and on
investigation, Mr.. Good found that it was
from field that had produced a very
heavy growth that lodged and thus
caused the shriveling of the berry. The
theory is that the strength Of constitu
ton of wheat can be determined more
by the growth of the straw than by the
fullness of the berry on any given lot.
Those who accept this theory procure
their seed from those farmers who have
exceptionally heavy fields of wheat, and
would, on no account, use seed from
small yields, however plump the berry
itself might be. The same theory has
been practically accepted by many New
England farmers in the selection of seed
rye, as when a crop on new land is found
exceptionally heavy, as it sometimes
will be, from the excess of plant fertility
in the soil, the entire crop is bought for
seed, by neighboring farmers, at a slight
advance over n arket prices. Short straw
carries short heads, and, consequently,
the yield must be light, however plump
the kernel may be. Selecting continu
ally from tall straw, with long heads
would naturally tend to increase pro-
ductiveness in our small grains

Gradually Growing Warlike.

White Bull leads the Tongue River
Chevennes and has drawn Black Wolf
into line by various threats. Two Moons
and Brave Wolf are the leading chiefs
on the Rosebud, The Indians have had
a slight engagement between themselves
on the Tongue River. Maj. Logan has
reached the agency on the Rosebud and
was joined by two companies of cavalry
from Fort Custer. Maj. Armstrong, Crow
Indian agent is also at the agency. The
Tongue River Cheyennes reached the
Rosebud Wednesday. The Cheyennes
have probably heard from the Indian
Nation and are excited over the troubles
in the south and every buck from twelve
years up carries belt full of cartridges
and is well prepared. They have had
some difficulty too, about locations on
these two rivers, and band of over one
hundred Cheyennes from Pine Ridge
help largely to boom them up on the
Tongue river.
A party of bucks went over from the
Tongue River 70 the agency last week
and insisted upon the Rosebud Chey-
ennes going over to the Tongue. Their
agent, Mr.. Stephens, of course, wouldn't
have it, and the Tongue river Cheyennes
told him that they were going away but
would return Wednesday next. and if
the agent objected then they would shoot
him. They are all in feyerish, unset
tied condition, but it is possible that
Maj. Logan viii be able to settle the
question without much fuss.
The above telegram would seem to in
dicate that the Cheyennes are about to
go on the war path The norther Chey-
ennes, since the subjection by Gen.
Miles, have peacefully resided near Ft
Keogh, engaged in husbandry and horse
raising. The trials of their brethren in
Indian Territory has, no doubt, prompts
ed them to take warlike action, but 1t is
not probable that blood will be she'd.
