grees Fahrenneit, AMI KEEP in that condi'
ton for half an nour. On thawlng slowly
they recovered perfectly, but it was found
that longer periods of exposure invariably
killed the animals. The experiment was

ALFALFA.

The Pioneer Press of recent date
gives considerable space to the history
of the plant Alfalfa, and the possible
results likely to accrue from its cult
vation in the stock producing area OF
the northwest. The article is an able
one. We extract from it the following
Some experiments already made
would indicate that Alfalfa is to prove
an invaluable adjunct to the cattle
raising business Of Montana and Col
orado. 0none Of his ranches IN Mon
tana Mr.. Thomas Z. Kimball has 500
acres of this plant, and is preparing
to extend its culture by irrigation over
some 5000 acres. As has been stated.
lucern is best suited to dry soil. In
deed, the one thing fatal to is too
much water Average soils, suited to
ordinary farming without irrigation,
have to be drained before Alfalfa can
be successfully grown. The only sat
isfactory report of its cultivation in
the east comes from Long Island,
where the sandy soil supplies the
requisite conditions. It's tap-root, ay-

eraging six feet in length and some
times extending to three times that
depth, sucks up the liquids of the
subsoil Land that refuses to sustain
other plants will support this, and
even arid sections can be adapted to
it by the minimum OF irrigation. OBJ
viously it is something we'll calculated
to clothe the semi-desert expanses of
the western interior, where the rain
fall is light and the water supply
scanty. Experiment has demonstrated
chat it does we'll in such sections, and
that they can be by this means made
available for cattle raising. A still
more important and apparently here
tofore undiscovered quality is report
ed as a result of feeding cattle on AL
falfa. Tt is said that the flesh of the
animal thus fattsned resembles not
that Of grass-fed but of corn-fed
beeves. It is firm in texture and fine
in quality. In word, the lucern is
said to furnish a winter food for cat
tie equal to that Of the corn producing
States. It is evident how great an
advantage this fact, if demonstrated,
will give to the cattle business Of the
farther Northwest. Cattle sustain
themselves Oh the ranges during the
winter, but they are not ready for
market in the spring. They must first
fatten on the summers growth. Far
ther south, where corn is successfully
raised, fattening winter food is abnn-
dant. But in this the northern ranges
have been greatly at disadvantage.
It is possible by the use of Alfalfa,
which produces three or four crops in
a season, leaving an aftergroWth
ample for pasturage, to have native
supply Of food for the winter which
will furnish cattle in prime market
condition In the early spring, when
demand is great and supply mad
equate. IL this be true, as seems prob
able from such trial as has been made,
it will be one of the most important
discoveries made It will add to the
eattle-producing area of the country
vast tracts now held as practically
worthless, and to the meat supply of
the country a new element of abun-

A TYPICAL MINER.

Dennis Ryan. miner hotel builder,
etc, leaves Helena on his return to
st. Paul shortly. Back in the early
sixties, Ryan, then boy in his teens,
ran away from home, not liking his
piodding farm life in Pennsylvania.
He took off to the Oil Regions, where
all was hustle He soon got employ
ment followed by interests in con
tracts for ties, lumber, etc, in railroad
building. He made considerable mon
ey, and his whereabouts was first
learned by his parents through remit
tances which in generous sums reach
ed ''the old folks at home" In 1865,
Dennis started for Montana, by way
of Salt Lake. Arriving late in autumn
he decided to stop IN the Mormon
city over winter. The next spring he
had his passage secured to Helena,
but the advice Of others prompted
him to turn toward Austin, Nevada,
instead In that State he had a va
ried experience, and accumulated but
little coin. After that he drifted back
into Utah, and in later years won
there the fortune he failed to 'scatch
on to- further wost The famous Horn
Silver mine was the property which
paid him most Out OF it have come
many millions and millions have been
the profit share Of Dennis. ST. Paul,
Mr. Ryan's home, has the grandest
hotel in all the West. It cost upwards
Of 81, 100000 and was altogether built
with his money. We want men like
Ryan in Montana He tried to come
here twenty years ago. It is not too
late for him to come now, and stay
Our gates are open and all beckon him
to enter and to remain-Herald.
Mr. Ryan, in company with Mr..
RroadWater, visited Great Falls dur
ing his recent visit to the Territory.
L matters are carried out according
to the program now laid down, we
should not be surprised to see Mr..
Ryan beeomea citizen Of Great Falls.
He certainly viii transfer the bulk Of
his personal wealth to this Immediate
section, and we see no valid reason
why Great Falls may not look for
ward with some assurance to his be-
coming a permanent resident.
