will be their guests, as well as to
ask all to extend them every cour-
tesy, that their stay among MS may
be pleasant. Leaving every other
consideration out of the question
it is matter of business to do this,
since these visitors will give us an
advertisement abroad, among a class
of men we could not so easily reach
in any other way, and thus induce
capital and ability to lock this way
when they want to invest. We
can have the best advertised town
in Dakota, by little exertion and
the exercise of those eourtesies and
ameueties of life that are never lost
with gentlemen.
We shall long remember the pleas
ant hours spent in tho society of
these gentlemen and their guests,
and hereby tender them our best
and most profound oriental salaam.
We arrived home Sunday morn
isg, feeling lone the worse for our
outing.

FRUIT ING.
An Industry That Has Been Built up Under
Adverse Conditions.
A Sketch Of the Disappointments in
the Experimental Era.
Notices of Some Of the Fine Orchards
OF the Territory-Yield Of Small
Fruit.
By Will H. sutherlin.


Fruit growing, though undertaken by
some Of the first farmers who settled in
the Territory, has been slower of devel-
opment into a successful industry than
any other branch of agriculture. Num-
erous attempts that were made proved
failures. The trees, when planted, would
grow and look. thrifty during the first
summer, but would die down in winter.
In some cases only the seasons growth
died, while in others the trees above
ground were killed entire. Insome in
stances where only the new growth was
winter-killed the trunk exposed to the
sun would die, while on the north side
the tree remained green. This led to
the plan of erecting a shade to
protect trees from the sun in winter, and
the planting of orchards where there
would be natural shelter at the south.
But this did not accomplish all that was
expected of it, for it was found that in the
kind of soil and in the amount Of irriRa-
ton depended the life of the trees to a
great extent. Trees thus sheltered and
growing in cold, damp ground or land
profhsely irrigated late in the season, the
new growth continued to die, while
those growing in the drier soil, and not
irrigated later than August goth, yet
more exposed to the sun, did not winter
kill. This discovery induced VIM. E.
Bass, Of Missoula county, to move his or
chard from the low, damp land first Sc
lected, to dry hillside, and he has
since made quite as good success at
fruit growing as any farmer in the Ter
ritory. ~ g a. 49,
SLOW PROGRESS MADE.
One Of the principal causes Of the slow
progress made in fruit growing was the
want Of knowledge % to which varieties
to select. During the years from 1875 to
1880 the farmers Of Montana expended
fully @O, 600 for fruit trees which they
planted, and Of which it ID rate to esti-
mate that les than 1--WE hundred trees
have grown large enough to bear fruit
Not bsing informed thsy trusted the
matter Of selection to nurae1y agents
who devoted hut httls iho,aeht q the
ikinth best suited e tlais climaae, their
main object being & 49, einosj

:
those farmers whose locations are
adapted to growing fruit and have used
proper discretion in cultivation are al
ready beginning to reap reward for
their labors. Their small trees are be-
ginning to bear and will in year or two
more yield beautifully. Several Or
chards planted earlier than 1890 are pro-
ducing yearly fruit in considerable guam
titles.
AS early as July, 1878, the writer re-
members seeing half grown peaches in
the dooryard of Joseph Pardee, an early
settler and ranchman in the Bitter Root
valley. That fruit was eaten by grass
hoppers before it ripened, and the small
bushes upon which it was growing died
down the following winter. They came
forth again, but have never produced
any fully matured fruit. 1t is now gem
orally conceded that peaches cannot be
grown with any degree of
certainty in this climate. The same
summer plucked and ate with exceed
ing pleasure ripe cherries from bush
in w. G. Bass orchard in the Bitter
Root valley, and they were of delicious
flavor. .1...ma.
MIR. BASS ORCHARD.
Mr.. Bass has made great success
with this as well as other kinds of fruit.
His orchard now contains something
over 700 cherry trees, 1000 apple trees,
and 100 plum trees. In 1882 consider
able number Of the cherry trees bore
fruit, and his crop Of apples was 200
bushels. The yield Of his orchard has
increased annually since 1882, that of
apples being nearly double.
In 1881, small pear bushes less than
three feet in height, in an orchard
owned by George B. Hartman, bore
pears that matured and were Of good
size: They were dwarf variety. One
kind, called the DUTCH d'Angonleine,
had ripe pears on it that measured over
two inches in diameter. The same or
chard contained, besides twenty-five
pear trees, two hundred and fifty stand
ard apple trees, fifty plum trees, and
probably thirty cherry trees. The plum
trees were Of two varieties the Lom-
bard, a very large red plum, and the
Green Gage. Of the apple trees there
was about a dozen that were then nine
years old. They were all heavily lad
ened with fruit. The early varieties
that seemed most prolific were the Red
Astrakhan, Wagner, Early Harvest,
and Early Strawberry. Some Of the trees
were 80 full that many of the branches
had broken, while many were propped,
and seemed hardly able to stand up.
One Genitin, q winter apple, was heavi-
" laden. The Northern Spy, another
winter apple, was burdened with ita
heavy load. The Transcendant crab
trees were fairly bending to the ground
with fruit, some Of them not taller than
six feet, containing six bushels.
THOMAS W. HARRIS ORCHARD.
| The orchard Of Thomas w. Harris,
near Stevensville, Missoula county,
which was planted in 1868, yields an
nually considerable fruit, as much a
States orchards of the same size and
age. The success attending his effort at
fruit growing did much in encouraging
other farmers in the planting of or
chards. His soil was excellent, and his
orchard was surrounded on all sides by
I q growth Of alder brush that served as q
wind-break, which was beneficial. His
