This was derived from the electric
lights alone, as they completed their
works SO late last fall, the ground be-
ing frozen, so as to make the expense
too great for private parties to tap the
mains at that time. Your committee
found the same feeling existing in this
village as at New Richmond. The
council committee in charge of the
plants expressing themselves as conf
dent that there would be no necessity
for levying any tax to help pay for the
plant, deeming the income from water
and lights amply sufficient to meet all
liabilities as fast as they matured. The
assessed valuation Of the village at the
time of issuing bonds for the plant, was
100000. Estimated income for the
fiscal year ending Nov. lst, 1895, 50, 500.
Running expenses, 81, 800. The water
used is taken from Grow river. The
water storage is a wooken tank, the
bottom of tank so feet above the level.

On the Reservation.

DR.. J. w. Elliott returned last even
ing from the Forest City Indian agency,
where he spent thirty days Kidding that
section of %glandered horses. During
his absence he travelled continually and
slept out doors almost every night.
With few exceptions ranchmen brought
in their horses for examination, but
some of the Indians acted stubbornly.
Fifty-six horses were killed during the
trip anG a herd of 600 head, owned by
Roseau, at the forks of the Cheyenne,
has been quarantined. Most of the
animals, it is thought, and perhaps all
of them, will have to be killed in time.
Chambers has existed in the eservation
for eighteen years, and this is the first
systematic attempt to eradicate it. Mr..
Elliott had the entire police force I'M
der his charge and was rendered every
assistance demanded. He also visited
the Moreau country, where he ordered
a number of the horses killed last fall,
but in a drive of sixty miles he found
not one diseased animal, showing that

The Montana WAY.

Lyman T. Smith of Hartford, Conn,
who has a large band of sheep in Mon
tana, sends us the following on the
subject of dipping:
"As to lime and sulphur dip, while I
do not recommend it, sufficient can be
used to kill scab If ali conditions are
favorable. Good feeding and good con
ditions are quite as necessary as good
dipping. A sickly or run down flock is
hard to cure.
"The Montana recipe is 100 pounds
of sulphur TO so pounds of lime, which
makes enough dip for 1000 sheep with
wool off. This should be diluted with
warm water till sufficient fluid is made
to do the business. Perhaps = quarts
of fluid will do for each shorn sheep.
More would be needed for those in full
fleece. Size also has something to do
with the amount used.
"The dip should be used at Ito de-
grees, and the sheep kept in 2 minutes
or more, and no part allowed to escape.
In cases of long standing all seabs or
sores should be loosened up with comb,
brush or otherwise, and the whole bus
mess done very thoroughly.
Three clippings ten days apart,
properly done, and sheep turned onto a
clean range, will usually cure the worst
cases. 1t is said that tobacco boiled
with lime and sulphur strengthens the
dip. We cured with "Black Lear to-
bacco dip and like it.

Raising Mustard

DIR. LOUIS McLoUTH, in Dakota Farmer.
j think that tame mustard has been
cultivated in California, and / have q
report of it's having been raised in one
or two i~nstancesin Ohio very proftably,
There are two varieties, the white and
black. These mustards are both raised
quite frequently in England for green
forage and for blowing under rs a fer
tilizer. The mustard, being a coarse,
leafy plant, draws a large part of it's
nutrition from the air and exhausts the
soil TO a comparatively small extent.
Therefore, like clover, it is often used
for the purpose of blowing under for
enriching the soil. When it is own
quite thick, say at the rate OF from a
peck to a half bushel of seed to the
acre in July, it becomes a very rank
and nutritious forage plant, especially
for sheep; and yet the caution is given
that the sheep do better if for a part of
the time each day they run upon ordi-
nary grass pasture. 1t is raised for the
seed in France and in other parts Of
continental Europe. When raised for
this purpose it is sown either broad
cast or in drills, say some two feet apart
and cultivated, using about twelve
pounds of SEED per acre. II sown for
the seed it should be put into the
ground considerably earlier than when
sown for forage. / should think that
it ought to be sown about the time of
late fax in this country. 1t is a rank
grower and prefers a rich, loamy soil.
1t is not easily injured by early frosts
in the fail; frosts which kill potatoes
even, it is said, will be harmless. When
raised for the seed it is harvested by
moving a little before the pods are
ripe enough to shell, dried and threshed
with a fail.
1t has been known to yield sometimes
as high as $50 pounds to the acre.
There is a report in the books of a man
who raised about $4,000 pounds on
twenty-seven acres, and it sold for
something more than 10 cents a pound
in this case. Besides the use of the
seed for medical and table purposes an
oil is extracted from them which has
been used in the old country for lamps;
and an oil cake is made from the seed
something like linseed oil cake. 1t is
not, however, as valuable for feed as
the common oil cake, but in the Eng
lish market it is sold at a cheaper
rate.
From the fact that the wild kinds
grow so easily in this country, l have
no doubt that the tame kinds will grow
pretty well. Ihave thought myself for
two or lee years that it might be
worth while to test some of these tame
varieties aud | understand that there
are to be some fields sown in Brown
county this year. l presume you can
buy seed from the seed smen.

importing Good Cattle.

Ed Lemon, manager of the Shieldley
Cattle company. of the Black Hills, has
returned to the state from a trip to
Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico,
where he has been in the interests of
the above company. While away Mr..
Lemon purchased 10000 head Of range
cattle and has shipped them to the
South Dakota ranges. Seven thousand
five hundred head have already arrived
and the rest are on the way. The cat
tie raising industry in South Dakota is
growing wonderfully, owing largely to
the fact that cattle can be kept through
the winters on prairie grass, running
wild as they do, with comparatively
little loss. Many thousand head have
been received on the ranges this spring.

Prof. c. S. Plumb, director of the

of a Jersey cow owned at the station,
that shows 2is.4 pounds of milk and
49, 5 pounds of fat in sever days. The
cream was also churned and made II
pounds 1914 ounces of butter sailed one
ounce to the pound. The COW was pur-
chased at a public sale in Indianapolis
in 1890 for $500.
Such a or would be cheap at 5000,
even if no account was taken of the
value of her calf. The amount of but
ter she would make over the cost of
her fec .'4r year would easily amount
to the interest on $500. We have never
been satisfied with the way the average
farmer estimates the value of a good
cow. We have heard many a man say
he would never pay a hundred dollars
for a ow. because there was never d
Gov that was worth it. The first prin-
ciple a ''lSineSs la has to learn in
getting his financial education and
judgment is that money is worth no
more in market than it will bring in
interest. The interest of 500 is So. A
cow that will produce 400 pounds of
butter in a year at 20 cents a pound
pays for her keep and $40 over. This
is the interest at 6 per cent on sees. sc.
Yet there are thousands of men who
would not pay 500 for such a cow. Any
investment that would pay the original
sum invested in two years and a half
would be snapped very quickly by any
good financier. Good business under
standing and financial judgment are
as greatly needed in this business of
dairy farming as in banking.-Hoard's
