FORTY ACRES ENOUGH,

The rarity of atmosphere and wide
range of vision peculiar to Montana is
responsible for a greed for land which
operates to defeat profitable cultivation
Of the soil in this vicinity.
A forty-acre field looks small when a
mountain ten miles away seems almost
within touching distance, and the
farmer to maintain relative proportions
deems it necessary to expand his ope-
rations over such an extended area that
the charges for labor and deficiencies of
irrigation usually eat up the profits. It
has been mentioned as q fortunate cir
cumstance that the Manageable rivers
happen to run by big cities and the con-
tiguity OF the Prickly Pear valley to
Helena may be instanced as another ex-
hib,tion Of the foresight Of nature, but
blind mortals seem cblivious of the in
tention.
There is probably not on the earth's
surface an equal extent of land so we'll
adapted for the support Of a large popu-
~lation; but to fully develop it's POSSIBLE
tiles the individual holdings should be
restricted in size to the convenient and
economical management of one family.
Forty acres devoted to a diversity of
grain, hay, potatoes and small fruits
with poultry and butter production as
an incident would yield a handsome
income, besides the annual appreciation
in land values. 1t is a preposterous
idea that an abundance of water for ir-
rigation cannot be obtained when the
entire valley is underlaid with an i'm
mense flowing river. By using the i'm
proved wind mills it will be easy to lift
water from wells to reservoirs conven
iently located SO that every acre could
be moistened at will, rendering the
independent of ditch rights and
free from the shotgun controversies now
go frequent amongst ranch proprietors.
The Importance to Helena of a thorough
cultivation of the valley cannot
be overestimated. 1t would add
at least a million dollars a year to the
local wealth and give support to an adj
ditional population of 10000 people.

o MPETIrloN IN RECIPROCITY.

European nations are reaching Out
successfully to maintain their trade
with South American countries which,
II was supposed, would all be secured
by the United States under the so-called
reciprocity section Of the Mckinley law,
AS a matter Of fact they had not, to any
considerable extent, lost 1t, but have
taken steps to make all the more sure
their possession Of it, With much flour
ish Of trumpets and beating Of tomtoms
the republican papers have, from time
to time, announced tho completion OF
reciprocity arrangements between the
United States and some OF the insig-
~niticant republics Of Central and South
America, and have heralded tho reports
as bordering on tho miraculous. But
now comes the news that practically the
same arrangements have been, made by
the same neighboring republics with the
great commercial nations OF Europe,
thereby multiplying any advantage which
may have been secured on paper for the
producers Of a few articles IN the United
States. The trade journals Of Germany
and France are already speaking in the
most hopeful terms of the assurance OF
continued trade with the little repub-
lies Of this side of the water, and are
boldly proclaiming that it is henceforth
be the settled policy of their govern
ments to separate as many small Amer
lean states as possible from a close
commercial alliance with the United

they will make such bargains as
hey think to their advantage, and the

imagination. In addition to not having
any permanent market for
American commerce, the United States
will have incurred the resentment Of all
leighbors with whom sharp bargains
ave been driven, largely for political
