FARM NOTES.-Many good crop Is
almost ruined by neglecting to har-
vest it at the proper time. Corn fod-
der becomes dry and weather-baten If
allowed TO remain too long i'll the
field. Oats, bucSwheat, rye and 9th
er grain crops waste if allowed to
stand after they are ripe.
Timothy is a good grass, yet it stools
but little, thus showing plainly
that to keep it in the ground and to
protect it from upheavel by frost, 1t
should be grown with such other
grasses as will come on well to the hay
harvest and also form good sod.
Farmers should consider that corn
is not proper food for young stock.
1t will fatten them, but does not en-
courage growth. \ young animal
should be made to secure bone and
heavy frame, not fat. 1t can be fat
tened after maturity. 1t Is simply
wasteful to feed corn to young stock.
The clover should not be overlook
ed. For pasture the white clover may
be advantageously used. For a grass
crop to be moved, and the ground
used for corn after the sodis turned un-
der, red clover has no equal. Onlight
soils it may be seeded in the fall and
heavy soils in the spring, on grain
land.
Mutton should be as plentiful as
pork. There are hundreds of farms
that could be devoted to sheep, but
which are now Improbable. 1t re-
quires less labor for sheep, than for
hogs, while the prices for choice mutton
and lamb are at times very high,
though the market at such times may
be well supplied with inferior grades
of carcasses.

A. A. Brigham, Secretary OF the
Massachusetts, Grange Fire Insurance
Association, reports that nearly $780,
600 worth of Grange farm risks are
now insured and the prospects are
that by the close of the first year OF
business, August /, 1888, the amount
will be 81, 100000. The years business
has been entirely satisfactory. The
work is all carried on as part OF the
regular Grange business at the meet
ings. The savings make fine show
ing. General losses were paid in full
before shutdown of the day on which
they occurred.

Since the advent of the Grange
farmers are learning that they have
matters of business outside OF the
fence lines of their farms; and that as
business men, they are able to look
after their own outside interests
equally as well as others can do 1t Tor
them, and surely, in many respects,
Mt a much lower rate of cost. The
many successful Grange fire insurance
companies that have been started,
and are now running successfully IN
many States, literally they are saving
millions of dollars to farmers every
wear. And how simply and now
plainly it is accomplished. In the old
wav the farmer who insured his build
ings paid in addition TO the amount
really REQUIRED to cover the FISK, all
these extras, viz. local agents COM
missions, large salaries of officers, cost
of expensive head quarter buildings
amount added TO surplus OF the
company undivided profits, diVi-
dends divided profits, greater risks
and therefore expense of city hres'
Under the Grange plan he only pays
for the fires, and the exceedingly small
sum required TO run the company
In New York State these various
Grange and farmers fire insurance
companies have a central orgahlZa-
tion for mutual benefit. In the annu-
al address of President f. T.. Root are
the following plain words; lhe sys-
TEN of cooperative insurance Is Ill
rectly in contrast with stock lhSur-
ance. The latter aims to make money
bv collecting an amount above losses
and expenses of the business 10 pay
dividends on capital pledge for re-
demption, while the former Is expect
ed to save money only TO the insured
No capital is invested, no interest Is
TO be paid, no high salaries are 10 be
paid 10 officials, no office rent ana no
percentage to agents TO be PAID. No
member or officer expects TO receive
in anv way more than fair remuner-
alton for labor bestowed III needed
business of the company. we seek
ONLY TO secure reliable insurance
and TO save the amount paid on dlvl-
dends and for official salaries, etc,
necessary in stock insurance. Now
we do not claim that the rates OF STOCK
insurance are higher than are de
manded in common prudence In their
wavs of conducting business, but we
do not see the justice i'll paying
twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars
salaries TO officials, or ten thousand
dollars office rents, and require
higher scale of rates for insurance 10
nav them. If such extravaganza is
necessary in stock insurance let thoSe
who must support it, but the farmer
need not aid. We claim for co-opera-
tive insurance justice and equity, pru-
dence and economy. No company
organized under present laws of our
State has failed TO meet its liabilities
in a just and equitable manner, that
has come to our knowledge, and we
have saved in the aggregate more than
one-half to the insured regular rates
charged in stock companies, and in
companies of recent organization
under the laws of 1880 and 1881 the
rates of losses have been much less.

[From the NeWs.l

An assay of specimen of rock from
the American mine, made last week, pro-
duced 9O5 ounces of silver.
E. c. Waters purchased five lots in F.
l.. Hensley's addition yesterday. He will
build three-story brick hotel not less
than 5Ox1O0 feet this fall.
Ed. Westbrook left for Livingston
Tuesday. He will run passenger and
light freight wagon regularly between
Castle and Livingston hereafter.
The survey of the townsite by Mr..
Wade varies somewhat from the ori giral.
The residence lots are made thirty feet
instead of fifty, and owners need to look
to their locations and see how the survey
leaves them. Of course the numbers will
be changed. The buildings on the south
side of West Main street come about three
feet in the street and those on the north
side three feet back from the street.

A Cold, Hooded Murder.

Benton special: A most cold-blooded
murder was committed near Fort Con,
rad Tuesday last. About q week ago
two young men, named Brede and
Adams, left Benton for Fort Macleod
in wagon, giving free transportation
to tramp stranger. They camped Mon,
day night aht!ont about nliipa miles ffom Con:
rad, and next morning Brede started
out hunting horses: During his absence
the stranger attacked Adams with
a revolver, shooting him thFee
times, after which he de:
camped. On Prede returning. the
wounded man was able TO give the par.
tioulars OF the affair, stating that rob
berry was the object. Adams was put
in a wagon, but died during the Ions
journey to Benton. The muderer's
name is Max Hoppe. He claims to be a
jeweler by trade and worked in Helena
last year. Parties from Fort Conrad
are on the trail, and if caught the mur.
derer will probably be lynched by
friends Of the deceased. Deputy Sheriff
Crawford has also started in Pursuit.

Notice to Assessors

Governor Leslie has issued the fol.

renewed efforts to collect informatlon
"The 10th chapter of Compiled Stat.
utes of Montana. on pages 1908 to l ,2lO,
provides for the gathering, through
your official action very much Of valua-
bic statistical information necessary
and important in making up the gov.
ernor's annual report to the secretary
of the interior, which will be due in the
early days of October next. The scant
and meager report on file in the audi
tors office with reference to the duty
prescribed to be performed suggests
that you be reminded of this part Of the
service of your office, and | do most ear
nestly urge that the greatest care be OBJ
served and pains taken this year to get
full answers from every citizen to the
long list of questions in the statute re-
quired to be asked, and that you make
full report thereof to the auditor.
"If such full answers are secured and
full report thereof made, showing the
wonderful resources, product, enter
prise and business of Montana, with all
its output Of values and its progress, it's
publication will astonish our eastern
neighhors and attract thousands of good
citizenship and millions of capital to
the territory"

Park Notes.

Owing to the unprecedented activity of
the Excelsior geyser, tourists have push
ed their way into the geyser region nine
days earlier than any previous season.
There is perhaps, nothing to be seen on
the American continent, or that of Eu-
rope, short of an eruption of Vcsuvius,
that presents so impressive a spectacle as
does Hcll's Half Acre during its period of
activity. Ten minutes before the water
is hurled into the air there is vast guam
tity of water discharged over the walls of
the crater into the Firchole river. The
extent OF this overflow is nearly twice the
width of the river itself, which is one
hundred feet wide at this point. There
are usually two immense waves impelled
into the air having spiral SUBMITS that
may be seen, when standing to windward,
rising above the dense clouds that over.
hang the chasm. This double pulsation
lasts but moment, but in that moment
one has realizing sense of the power and
potency of the forces that lmpel these
torid waves upward first and ultimately
out in the river whose brown waters are
changed into milky white. The over
flow continues about five minutes after
the vertical columns have ceased.
Mr.. Wellington Payne, of Lexington,
Kentucky, saw one piece of lava thrown
out OF the vortex on to the terrace walls
near where we were standing ON the wind
ward side but could not identify it from
others that had been throw out during
previous eluptions. One of these pieces
of lava falling two Or three hundred feet
would be an uncanny thing to light on
ones head; therefore, visitors ought to
keep beyond the reach of such dangerous
missiles. Besides better view can be had
of the eruptions when seen thirty or forty
yards off. The best view is had, when
the wind is favorable, on the east side of
the Firehole river. There one not only
sees the great jets but the immense over
flow, and is also beyond the reach of dan
ger. G.. L. II.

Painted by IDg9rsOll.

Robert &. Ingersoll delivered the ora
tion at the decoration day memorial
services in the Academy of Music in
New York Wednesday night. 1t was
one of the finest Oratorical efforts for
which he is so famous. The peroration
was especially fine. 1t began with that
wonderful piece of word painting from
his Indianapolis Oration, beginning
with the words: "The past rises before
me like dream,' in which he depicted
war and slavery, the going away of
union volunteers and the terrors of war
and closing with the words Il have one
sentiment for the soldiers, living and
dead-cheers for the living, tears for
the dead" 10 this picture he added
the following, with which he closed:
~ vision arises. l see our country
filled with happy homes, with fresides
of content, the foremost land of all the
earth. l see a world where thrones
have crumbled and where kings are
dust. The aristoclacy of idleness has
perished from the earth. l see world
without slave. Man at last is free.
Natures forces have by science been
enslaved. Lightning and light, wind
and wave, frost and flame, and all the
secret, subtle powers of earth and air
are tireless toilers for the human race.
[ see the world at peace, adorned with
every art, with music's myriad voices
thrilled, while lips are rich with words
OF love and truth. a world in which
no exile sighs, no prisoner mourns;
where work and worth go hand in hand;
where the poor girl trying to win bread
with the needle, the needle that has
been called the asp in the breast of the
poor, is not driven to the choice of
crime, or death by suicide, or shame. l
see world without beggar's out
stretched palms, a miser's heartless,
stony stare, the piteous wall of want,
the livid lips of lies, the cruel eyes of
scorn. see a race without disease
OF the flesh or brain, shapely and fair,
married harmony of form and function.
AS l look life lengthens, day deepens.
love canopies the earth, and over all, in
the great dome, shines the eternal star
of human hope.'
