the wishes Of the administration, we
will see an improvement in the methods
Of handling the Indians who, as we all
know, shirk civilization until it is forced
upon them, and will then only learn by
having to study and work the same as
the whites. As long as red men carry
guns and can trade their supplies for
ammun ition and war paint, SO long may
we expect to hear of their marauding ex-
petitions The interest of the stock
grower is with the reformation of the
Indian, and every act, executive or leg
islative, that tends toward that end and
toward the better protection Of business
in general in Montana, will be hailed
with delight by the great majority ofour
active, cnterprising people.

taken by thieves or wild animals, nearly
every one will be found on the great

aIo,atRna's Cattle Lands

How long the range lands Of Montana
will he used for cattle with little or no
expense is one Of the questions of the
business. Five years, ut least, can be
counted unless the Government mean
time provides some method Of leasing.
The cost Of caring for range cattle at
present is estimated to be about one dol
lar per head per annum. Taking all in
all, the prospects for profits among
stockgrowers here who are well located,
are very favorable, but good locations are
not found easily now, the principal diff.
ficulty in northeastern Montana being
that Of securing good water rights-the
few streams Of that portion frequently
running long distances beneath the
spongy, porous soil OF. the Bad Lands.
Only seven stockmen visited the first
stockgrowcrs' meeting in Montana in 1882

termini st. Paul, the monetary capital of
the Northwest; Minneapolis, the greatest

almost it's entire length through one of
the most variously productive regions
anywhere to be found, is obviously des-
tined to become second to none in the
extent and variety of it's carrping trade.
The traveller over the Northern Pacific
Railroad sees something of what it is do
ing in exchanging the products Of the
East and West. He sees long trains of
cars laden with wheat from the fertile
fields Of Minnesota, Dakota and far
western Washington; with prime beef
cattle, fattened on the rich grasses of
Montana; with the products of that ia
NOUS Rocky Mountain region where the
harvest is gold and silver, with fruit from
Oregon, and with tea from China. These
are all going east, while not unfrcquent-
~ may be seen, coming west, entire
train-loads Of agricultural and other
machinery, furniture and other manu-
featured goods.
The various interests identified with
the development Of the Great North
west are, it is needless to say, growing
rapidly. Some Of them have already OBJ
tanned enormous dimensions. The an
nual wheat crop Of Dakota, amounting to
80, 600 600 bushels, is more than sufficient
to supply the wants of the whole of New
England, and nearly all of it is raised in
the Northern Pacific wheat belt. The
grazing industry in Montana has more
than doubled within the three years that
have elapsed since the same great rail-
road system brought the unequaled
ranges of the Territory within reach of
eastern markets. II
The possibilities of increase are vast,

Montana's Future Cattle Business.
With the work Of these associations in
the cattle business and in the shaping of
Territorial laws, the people of Montana
are quite familiar. The business has
only just begun, however. The plant
100000 head-is one from which great
developments may be expected during
the next few years, and those interested
in that business will continue to strive for
such legislation as will best protect their
interests. During that period, too, the
questions of irrigation and cultivation (of
lands) and of feeding cattle with alfalfa
and other grasses, will receive some at
tention from Montana stockmen. Range
rights and range wrongs will frequently
be discussed at home and abroad and,

feature to carry the loss above five per
cent. In the severe winter Of 1880 herds
that arrived from Texas very late in the
season lost heavily-25 to 10 per cent
but these cs.ses were exceptional, and
late arrivals are being avoided. The ex-
pericncc came high, but is now profit
able. There seems to be but little
reason why acclimatcd cattle cannot
stand the short, cold, dry winters Of this
region almost az well as the buffalo.
True, buffalo are scarce, but who ever

The Texans Yves, ''Texans"), that came,

their herds around great deal lately in

quite successful heretofore, having
missed any serious losses. The business
will be watched this winter with more
interest than ever and whether there is
heavy loss from any cllse, or not, the
facts should be presented without exag-
gerations in either direction.

EARLY COOKERY.
A Subject Which Has Always Engaged
the Attention Of Mankind.

A Subject Which Has Always Engaged
the Attention Of Mankind.
OF old the palate ran riot, writes DR..
j. Miner Fothergill in his excellent
work on Dietetics. The Romans were
both epicures and gluttons. The oys-
tiers of Britain were conveyed by re-
lays of runners to the Roman villas.
One epicure cast a slave into his fish
pond to improve the flavor Of his lam
preys. The most absurd dishes were
contrived, up to a pie of nightingales'
tongues. Their tastes were not ours.
Fowls were boiled in aniseed water
and served with sauce containing
aniseed, mint, mustard seeds and
asafGtida.
Nor were the Middle Ages far differ
ent. Charles V. of Germany was a
notorious gourmand. Besides ordinary
meats, he had roasted horse, cats in
jelly, lizard soup, fried frogs, etc., till
his chef, when asked for new dish,
could only suggest compete of
watches-in allusion to that monarch s
passion for such time-keepers. Ami
mails were chased because it was found
that the flesh of hunted beasts was
more tender and palatable than that Of
those killed without such preliminary
preparation. Fowls were thrashed to
death to fit them for the table; while
one writer gave directions chow to
roast and eat goose alive" No
cruelty to an animal was too great to
CRAFTY the palate. The amount eaten,
too, was enormous. The Roman had
five meals day; and at great feasts
the stomach, when full to repletion,
vas emptied in order that the process
of filling might be recommenced.
Charles V. was quite as big glutton
as he was an epicure. At a dinner OF
the Knights of the Golden Fleece, As
cham saw him make his way through
sod beef, roast mutton and baked hare,
after whi.h he fed full well on a capon.
Nor did he forget to drink with it all.
He had his head in the glass five times
las long as any of them and drank no
less at once than quart of Rhine
wine"
Then views as to foods varied in tho
widest manner. The English athlete
placed his faith in rare beefsteaks and
raw eggs; while the Hindoo wrestlers
trained on sweetmeats. The English
farmer feeds his servants on meat in
order that they may be equal to dc
