YIELD OF SMALL FRUIT. aa.
His 3 800 currant bushes, though num-
Der OF them were young and small, ay-
eraged this year two gallons each. They
were mostly the large kinds and very ev-
cellent. His 275 gooseberry bushes
yielded an average of two gallons. He
also raised large quantity Of raspber-
RIGS and strawberries, all of which he
sold readily. Over a hundred farmers
raised of these fruits the past season con-
siderably more than was necessary to he
kept for their own use during the year,
and it is safe estimate that within the
next three years the crop of this year in
the Territory will be increased ten fold.
An interesting experiment has been
made by DR.. Slime, of Jefferson county,
in cultivating the native raspberry. It
took several years, but has
grown to be well worth the
labor expended. The canes grew
large and strong and do not have to be
laid down in winter AZ do the tame va
rietics. They produce berries much
larger than those that grow uncultiyated
among our mountains. ..........
That Montana is adapted to growing
great variety of both large and small
fruits is settled beyond any question,
and thai. within another decade the
products of her orchards willsssannually
amount to many tons, supplying the de-
mand of a class who are always will

THE FIRST CATTLE

THE FIRST CATTLE
We're brought to the Territory by Mr..
Harris, i'll company with James Tampa
ney, Major Owens and some Flathead
Indians, in the year 1854. He got them
from emigrants who were on their way
to California. 1t was their custom to
make regular trips to the emigrant road
during the years of 1852, '53, ~ and ~,
and trade with emigrants for their lame
and worn out stock, groceries, ammuni-
ton, etc. The cattle they would turn
loose upon the range to recuperate and
fatten, thus supplying themselves with
beeves.
TIE FIRST FLOCK OF SHEEP
numbered nine head. They were oh

driven overland BY Nelson McNiahan,
an uncle of the editors of the Rocky
Mountain Husbandman, and one Of the
pioneers Of the Golden State, who locat-
ed stock ranch on Patos creek, near
Sacramento, before the discovery of
gold ON the Pacific Coast.
STOCK RAISING
in those early times was slow and diff

Indians in 1855, the Blackfeet and Snake
1nians were very troublesome and set
tiers were compelled to guard their stock
night and day. Often numbers would
be driven away which they could not re-
cover. The Flathead tribe were
friendly, however, and never gave any
trouble. After the discovery Of gold in

THE FIRST ORCHARD
that amounted to anything was planted
by Mr.. Harris in the spring of 1865. In
the winter Of 1867 the rabbits girdled all
the trees or nearly 80, but the most of
them started again from the roots. Some
of the trees are now large and bear con-
siderable fruit. The varieties Of fruit
were early kinds: Duchess of Olden-
burg, Red June, Early Harvest, Red
Astrakhan. Winter varieties: White
Winter Pearmain, Baldwin, Ben Davis,
and three kinds of seedlings;-one Of
which we named the Harris Seeding. 1t
was started from the seed of an apple
brought from Walla Walla, and the fruit
is the most delicious We have ever seen
that were grown in Montana. Besides
apples the orchard contains plums
grown from wild bushes, and also from
trees brought from Walla Walla, and
smaller fruit in great variety.
THE FIRST HOGS
were brought to Montana BY the Catho-
lie priests as early as 1885. They were
very common breed, and it was not until
1857 that much attention was given to
the improvement of the breeds. Hogs,
in those early days, subsisted during
spring, summer and fall upon camas
roots, which grow in great quantities in
the Bitter Root and Jocko valleys.

THE FIRST MONTANA FARMER.
The Birth Of Agriculture and. Live Stock
Husbsndry IN Montana.

From White Sulphur Springs Husbandman.
The first farmer who titled Montana
soil was Thomas w. Harris, resident Of
Bitter Root valley, A1issoula County. He
was born in Woodford County, Ken
lucky, August 20, 1929; moved to Mis-
soula in lSls; moved to Fort Hall in
1850, and arrived III Bitter Root valley,
May %, 1852. For eleven years he lived
with Major Owens, at Fort Owen, which
lie helped to build. At the time this
fort was built there were but six white
men in what is now known as Montana
Territory. Their names were: Major
Owens, his brother Frank Owens, Il. f.
Irvine, Joseph Humphrey, L. Corvill,
Lewis, Matt and Thomas w. Harris. Mr..
Harris married at old Fort Owen in the
fall of 1876, to Lester Roimy, half
breed woman. He had six children
the first daughter, now Mrs. Monroe
Fulkerson, who was born February Z,
1857. Mr.. Harris's wife died in 1880.
THE FIRST FARMING.
During the eleven years Mr.. Harris
lived at Fort Owen he engaged in farm
ing on small scale. Some grain had
been grown before he arrived by the
Catholic priests at the Mission, but Mr..
Harris's work was the first outright
farming done in the Territory. The first
pillow was brought to Bitter Root by
Major Owens. 1t was sharpened by
Lewis Mott, the blacksmith then at the
fort, and who, We believe, is still living
at st. Ignatius Mission, on the Flathead
reservation. The first crop raised on
Three-Mile creek, the present home Of
Mr.. Harris, which is shown in our illus
tration, was in 1883.
THE FIRST dRlsr MILL
was rude log.house, about twelve feet
J square. The burrs were made of two
stones, about fifteen inches in diameter,
the top burr sing arranged to turn by .
rawshide bell, which extended to the
outside, where it worked over drum
which was turned by mule. It cracked
about bushel Of wheat per day. No
bolts were used. Afterwards new mill
was built to run by water-power, and 4
boiling apparatus was attached. The

1883 Mr.. Harris commenced to enlarge
his farm, make improvements and raise
larger crops, which he sold at good prices.
His crop of wheat grown in
1863, he sold at $500 per bushel.
THE FIRST BEEvEs MARKETED
were raised by Mr.. Harris on his Bitter
Root farm; they numbered thirteen
head. He sold them at Virginia City,
Montana, in the fall of 1863, at 500 per
head. At the sume time he sold to Cen
eral Doris three wagon loads Of vegeta-
bles, at forty cents per pound, in gold

and sheep that appear in the front yard
were Mr.. Harris's first raising, their
mothers being those bought from emil
grants on their road to California. The
farm is one Of the choicest in the Bitter
Root valley, and is located at the foot
of the mountain, on Three-Mile creek,
distant three miles from the town Of

itors-How they Appear.
Several members OF the Springfield Sal
walton army went to Columbus yesterday on
a novel mission, and give very interesting
accounts Of what they saw. The occasion
of their visit was the arrival of four Saliva
ton army officers from India, where the
principles and practices of the order have
gained very strcng hold, even among the
Brahmins, the most exclusive and intellec-
tual of all the sects of the orient. The four
visitors from the land of the sun are Major
Jsi Bhai, alias Paynter, divisional officer of
Gujarat; Captain Narain Dss, field officer
in Gujarat; Sergeant Narsi Gopal, who
plays a tOm-tom, and Mira Nauroz Ali, a
Salvation army auxiliary, and formerly one
of the MOhammedan residents of the Pun
jaub.
The Salyationists of Columbus, Spring
field, and other cities, gave them an ovation
at Columbus, yesterday, the chief feature
being a big parade. The Indians were
dressed in native costume, adapted in color
to Salvation army regulations, their heads
wrapped with nubas and their bodies COW
cred with the flowing drapery worn by
orientals. The high-caste Hindoo wore a
ferce-looking mustache, while the features
of the Mohammedan were almost hidden by
luxuriant growth Of jet-black beard.

familiar with the customs of the Anglo

wrapped in graceful folds around
his very intellectual looking head. His
form, 1.-THE and slim, his slender hands
fine face devoid Of beard, and the eyes,
which looked out through pair of glasses,
indicated him as belonging to the better
class of East Indians. He has received a
fine education and at one time was wine
merchant in oxford, England. Captain
Narain Das is Hindoo of the high caste,
fine scholar, having been lawyer in his
native land until, turning philosopher, he
became an atheist and left his home. Ser
geanr Narsi Gopal is a lowe-caste Hin
doc, a weaver by trade, and came
from Gujurat His features are no,
so classical as those of his high
caste brethren, and his noisy enthusiasm
contrasts strangely with their dignifed

he carries a tomtOm, is like drum, al.

straight sticks, which: the Hindo handles
