The final escape of Becker prevents
the possibility OF any legislation tins
session, which ends to-day. The ap
preparation bills which passed both
houses, were killed owing to the fact
that they had to be. returned to the
by the speaker of the house. Th>
was deferred until Monday. but Sena-
tor Becker, who it is said, gave his
word to remain in Helena, escaped
during the night. However, the su
preme court has decided that stat,
officers can have their warrants
cashsd regardless OF legislative action
in the matter OF appropriation. This
will relieve the situation as regards
salaries OF state officers.

In the case OF Rotwitt vs. Hickman,
which was brought to determine
whether or not the state treasurer
should pay warrants for the salaries
of state officers whose compensation
is fixed by the constitution, no appro-
priation having been made by the
legislature, the supreme court decide,
that Secretary Rotwitt can draw
his salary, and orders that peremp-
tory writ OF mandate he ISSUED fol tn
with. The decision is very full and
clear and supported by well estab
lished precedents. The court quotes
from a similar case IN Maryland,
Il, which the following is but an extract
"The people in their organic law have
not only given their consent, but have
imperatively issued their commands
that this particular officer shall
receive it. How is their will to be
obeyed if it be within the power OF the
treasurer, or anyone else, to withhold
it from caprice, unfaithfulness or mis-
taken judgment To allow such a
power i'm that officer would be to put
him above the constitution, whose
creature he is" The decision will
apply to all state officers.

of State Veterinarian Holloway on
the condition OF sheep in Montana
Mr.. Holloway estimates the number
OF sheep in the state at something
over two million mead, which are prac-
tically free from diseases OF any char
acter. He dwells at some length on
the diseases peculiar to sheep, par
ticularly ''scab," which has given the
most trouble in Montana and which
is most dreaded. The report shows
the wisdom OF the laws passed 10y our
legislature to prevent the dissemina-
ton of disease among sheep. The
good results are SO plain that they

President Harrison signed the proc

inst. On the 10Th veritable stam-
pede from Pierre took place. In thirty
minutes the town was deserted and
places OF business closed, so eager
were the people to reach the ressrva-
ton. Fully three thousand people
were in the procession. The work oi
stalking out town lots, locating land
and putting up buildings, commenced
at once. The ''free and easy" the
rough and tough, good bad and indif-
ferent, followed close in the wake, and

also embraces the report OF David
lIiiger, deputy Inspector for Fergus
county. Mr. IIilger makes a clear and
intelligent statement OF the condition
OF sheep in this county and OF the
duties he has performed. He places
the number of sheep IN this county ut
$40. 900 head, and he is in position
to make n very close estimate. He
makes some suggestions regarding the
inequality of the special tax levied for
the inspector and indemnity fund and
the necessity of guarding against the
admission OF diseased sheep from
Washington, Oregon and California.
The report will be oi interest to wool

Six Years Experience.

Alabama, gives, for the South, the fol
lowing:
/. Phosphoric acid teaches little, ifany,
upon clay soil or those having clay sub
soil, but does leach through sandy soils
with sandy subsoils.
2. Citrate soluble phosphoric acid pos
sesses equal agricultural value with wa
ter soluble.
3. The phosphoric acid from floats, or
phosphate rock ground to an impalpable
powder, gradually becomes available in
the soil, but produces very little upon
the first crop.
4. The availability of phosphoric acid
in floats is hastened by use with cotton
seed meal.
5. Plants are Indifferent to the sources
from which available phosphoric acid is
derived.
g. Nitrogen teaches rapidly through
sandy soil unless occupied by feeding
roots or underlaid by clay subsoil.
7. Plants are Indifferent as to the
source from which their supply of nitro
gen is derived, but those sources which
yield supply gradually, as needed by
the plant, are best suited to our long
seasons of growth.
8. OF the commercial sources of nitro
gen, cotton seed meal is cheapest and
most reliable. 1t yields it's plant food
more gradually than either the mineral
or animal sources.
8. Pea vines, grown upon the land,
and left to protect the surface until prep
aration is made for the mex t crop, furnish
the cheapest source OF nitrogen in the
most desirable condition.
10. Pea vines, thus grown and treated,
furnish the most reliable and practicable
means of improving worn lands.
II. Pea vines cut for hay, leaving the
stubble and roots on and in the land,
benefit the soil more than turning them
in green during the summer.
10. Potash applied to the soil Of this
station has not been profitable except
during drouth. It's principal benefit
seems to result from it's affinity for mOis-
ture.
13. Plants seem Indifferent as to the
source of supply from which they derive
the potash needed.
A. Following thorough preparation
of the soil, shallow cultivation produces
larger crops at less cost than deep Guilt
walton.
Is. Impoverished soils may be rapidly
restored to productiveness by terracing
accompanied by a judiciOus rotation OF
crops involving q restoration OF humus.
16. The best way to utilize the animal
manures saved on the farm, and the sur
plus cotton seed, is in compost with acid
phosphate.
II. Contrary to the general opinion,
ammonia is not volatized and lost from
such compost during the fermentation.
FRUIT AND STOCK.
1S. Grapes, peaches, plums, raspber-
ries, Strawberries and the oriental type
of pears can be grown profitably under
intelligent culture.
10. Growing wool and mutton, intelli-
gently pursued, is more profitable than
growing cotton-a profit OF so per cent
upon the value of the sheep and the cost
of keeping them can be realized.
20. Pork can be grown here as cheaply
as in any State in the Union, by cnltiva-
ting our peculiar crops especially for
